Corvus Barbeque, Bazaar, and Benefit (planning)

[Alothia]

Okay, so Alothia is back from the time skip and is trying to get her people back together. I was thinking of staging an IC meet and greet of sorts sometime in the first few weeks of release.

 

What I'm thinking is this, I'd like to have just an open event with no ulterior plotlines, just a good old bit of entertainment, crafting and fun.

 

What I'm looking for for this event is this:

 

• Performers (singers, dancers, etc.)
  
• Crafters (who are willing to help make lowbie gear)
  
• People to help keep the party going
  
• Cooks (It is a Barbeque after all)
  

 

It would be a good reason for us to get together, get to know the new people, and help provide them with gear and such. I'm just tossing the idea out there. If anyone would be interested in coming/helping out, etc, please let me know! Thanks!

 

Also, any other ideas for how to make this a success would be appreciated...I'm not really used to hosting events, so any tips would also be welcome!

[Dehqon]

I'm interested, and Inja may even be willing/able to go to the Gridania area depending on how roleplay goes. As far as level goes, that's something to be seen when the date comes up.

[Abaigeal]

You know abai would show up and offer a hand

[FreelanceWizard]

I'm in for attending!

 

As for helping out, if it's in a semi-dangerous location, I can help bring people to it safely (a service that can be provided both IC and OOC ). I doubt I'll be particularly high level as a crafter, but if so, I'll happily make stuff to give away.

 

EDIT: Oh, I assumed that the request for help was an open invite for offers of assistance. If not, disregard the above (though I'll still attend, of course).

Does this include people who weren't with Corvus in 1.0?

[Alothia]

Of course. It would be something Alothia would think up, in part to benefit people she hasn't met, and in part for her to help raise some extra funds so she can get Corvus off the ground again. So everyone and anyone is welcome.

[Martiallais]

So everyone and anyone is welcome.

 

Awesome. Gonna try to be there then. 8-)

[Myxie Tryxle]

Myxie would love to be there! She's a low level 1.0 character, but I did get every crafting skill up to level 10, which is fine for making gear up to level 15 or so. I'd just need to collect materials, as all she had on her when I copied her to phase 3 was a load of hempen yarn and some cotton. It would also give her an opportunity to reveal her new and improved "Myxie Tryxle's Powdered Water System, Mark III" and hopefully find a group of willing test subjects. :angel:

 

As for some suggestions, it would be cool if you could come up with some sort of puzzle, game, foot race, hide & seek, or some sort of activity with a goal and a prize or prizes for the winners. Maybe a few pieces of HQ gear, winner's choice of a stack of 100 crystals, vouchers for a guided dungeon run, pretty much anything. You could even do an HQ scavenger hunt, where people split up into groups of four and have to return with at least one HQ item of each type from a list of 5-10 things (mostly low level stuff like copper ore, muddy water, marmot meat, oranges and carrots, etc.). If most of the items were cooking ingredients, it would even support the barbecue idea, and you could call it a grocery list!

you know i'll be there

[Paradyme]

Elbow willing - I'm down.

These are great ideas!

 

I was actually thinking of holding a hide and seek event. We used to do those all the time back in 1.0

[Alothia]

So, we've got some prelim ideas for a scavenger hunt, and Abai has been roped in ICly to bring some performers...we're well on our way! Yay!

[Martiallais]

Any ideas on where this'll be yet? Just for planning/figuring out how long it'd take to get there from other cities and all.

[Alothia]

It won't be until after release, simply because I want to hold it in a central location that people can get to. I figure once game starts up, we can all start trying to figure out a time that'll be good for everyone.

[Hyrist]

I've only three questions to ask.

 

Where's the food?

 

Where's the Drink?

 

And who's bed am I crashing in once all is said and done?

[sanguineFenrir]

I'd like to attend if possible. If I get my cooking skill high up enough to at least be decent, I could even roleplay as one of the people helping to prepare the food.

[Lyriell]

I'd like to try being a Singer, but only if Lyriell is allowed to hide herself somehow

[Myxie Tryxle]

Phantom of the Opera style! 8-) Maybe Isobeau can lend you a mask.

[Vlll]

I'll try to be there, it sounds great to meet new people.

[Kyatai]

Am interested...

 

*plans to stalk Eva for her DW wisdom and fashion advice*

[Rhan'ir Azal]

+1 attendee!

 

Also have you checked with Soliloquy? I'm sure they'd love the opportunity to provide some entertainment.

[Siuane Raih'li]

Contemplates jumping servers for the barbecue...

[Tyriont]

I'll happily throw Ty in as a cook and/or performer. This sounds like a lot of fun

[Gideon Aryeh]

Contemplates jumping servers for the barbecue...

Make a character in both servers and get all the goodies!

 I will so be a plump miqo'te then! I do need to activate 1.0 Si...
