Description: Although the Starlight Festival has ended, the orphans of Eorzea are still in great need of assistance. In order to help ensure a happy and safe environment for these children to grow up, a date auction will be held on the 13th Sun of the 1st Umbral Moon at the fifteenth bell in Gridania at the Mih Khetto's Amphitheater. Members of the public will be allowed to place bids on participating singles for a one time only date.
But wait... already have a partner? - Well, no need to miss out! If you already have a partner, you may make a donation and your partner will receive a hand written invitation at the auction to go on a date with you. They will also receive a coupon book that will give them their hearts desire.
Remember, all funds raised will be divided among orphanages across the three city-states. We hope to see you there!

==================================
Rules:
- You must be respectful at all times. This includes during the event and during dates. If you are disruptive you may be asked to leave. Although you are free to show a little skin shirt/body armor, pants/skirt, and shoes are to be worn at all times. No undergarments please!!
- Make sure to fill out an application. In order to volunteer to be auctioned you must complete the application provided above.
- Please speak in /say sparingly. Due to the fact the amphitheater is out of the way, /shout will be used by the auctioneer only to ensure people do not miss what is being announced. Please keep all comments in /say or /emotes. However, do not disrupt the other people attending by spamming the chat. If you need to speak with someone, move close to their character and "whisper" in /tell or /party chat.
- Each character is allowed one successful bid on a date. You cannot continue to bid on others after you have already won one date auction. Volunteers may also bid on dates, however, they must go on the date they were auctioned for as well as the date they bid upon.
- Chaperons may be requested. For everyone's safety chaperons can be made available if either person on the date requests one.
- Remember you are bidding on a single date. This is not to be constructed in any way shape or form of providing 'services'/erp. It's a date. D-A-T-E.
- Please be respectful of people's gender preference. For everyone's comfort if a character has specified a gender preference on their application, members of the opposite gender may not place a bid.
- Both parties going on the date must agree to the date, time, and activity. No refunds, even if the date is called off or random events due to acts of Cod.
- Bids will be handled with in-game gil although no money will actually be taken from your character. You may only bid with what funds you have in your possession. If you have made a successful bid you must come to the co-host, open a trade window and show the gil. You do not have to give up your gil OOCly. You will then be traded a flower to give to your new date.
- Lucky In Love participants and recipients will be announced at the event. The actual date invite, message, and coupon book will be PM'ed to your beloved on the forums.
I hope to see everyone there!!

I would really like to participate in this one, though I'll have to get back to you all later as for my role of involvment.
Re: A Slave for Love ~ Date Auction - Seraphine Felstar - 01-13-2011
In order to simplify the event, the silent auction will no longer be taking place. I think there will be enough going on that this will merely complicate things instead of ensure everything is light and fun.
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered so far and I have a feeling this is going to be an unforgettable evening! :cheer:

Re: A Slave for Love ~ Date Auction - Eternal Darkness - 01-15-2011
I don't think I'll be offering myself up for bid, but I will come to the event, probably sit in the back, engage in some sort of conversation. I will most likely make a donation though, rather than place bids.
Re: A Slave for Love ~ Date Auction - Seraphine Felstar - 01-15-2011
That's fine with me (^.^)b
I'll probably put up some sort of counter so we can see how much money we're pretending to raise at some point. If we get enough all the orphans of Eorzea might be wearing velveteen :p
Thank you to all our volunteers and keep the participation coming! :bounce:
Re: A Slave for Love ~ Date Auction - Eternal Darkness - 01-16-2011
I could probably be the money "collector". I can keep a calculator handy and add 'em up as they come, unless you have someone to do that already.
Re: A Slave for Love ~ Date Auction - Seraphine Felstar - 01-16-2011
Aww! Thank you so much for volunteering. That makes me feel all warm and fussy. Eva Ianeira is going to be "collecting" all the money and helping to keep track of bids. Thank you again for offering though.
Re: A Slave for Love ~ Date Auction - Eternal Darkness - 01-16-2011
Of course, my pleasure. Should there be any other positions you need filled, let me know. I will be at the event so don't hesitate to ask beforehand or during.
Re: A Slave for Love ~ Date Auction - SamusKnight2K - 01-19-2011
(Haha sounds fun! *evil laugh*)
Full Name: Mihana Zhralyia
Age: 22
Gender: Female
The gender you prefer for your date: Male, preferred. But being just a date any gender will do.
Your interests: Hunting, archery, cooking, seeking out treasures.
Your dislikes: Seriousness, long-winded lectures, being bored, treated like a child, rain.
What you look for in a date: No Roegadyn, unless you can show me why I should date one. I'm not some damsel looking for a gallant knight on a Chocobo to sweep me off my feet. If you're that type, keep on moving pal. I like to tease, have fun. Deal with it. But if you're nice and we get along then you're doing something right. Places, don't care as long as I'm not getting all wet from the rain.
(OOC Note: At this time Mihana is rather involved with someone already. But to see if their feelings for one another are real, she has suggested they date others. Should their time apart with other people show their feelings are true, then it is meant to be between them. Both parties have agreed on this thus Mihana will begin dating others. As with all RP, actions between others can influence the outcome so don't bid thinking your character is a one-night date! If somehow they have a way to sway her heart in their favor it could come to pass. Just don't expect a "Romance-In-A-Can" moment.
)(OOC Note 2: Seems I kind of confused someone on the one-night date thing... What I mean is that while Mihana may be involved with somebody, she will still be dating. If after the end of her date there is enough reason, she may agree to go on a second date with her bidder too. What happens beyond that is purely up to RP.)
