Title: Ierefal

Ierefal is a time of festivals known as the Coming. They represent when the various races arrived in Yliakum.
Source: PSwiki (http://194.116.72.94/pswiki/index.php?title=Ierefal)

[Ierefal is a festival known to everyone! It's almost impossible to not know about it ICly.

To be able to make the event possible, I need as much help as I could get. If you need to contact me, simply answer in this thread, or you could PM here on the forum, via /tell if I am for once IG (Jilata or Oele) or look at #ps-revolutiontalk. I am usually hanging around there. If I am not there, just talk with eonwind there.

Some ideas are already gathered (they are not all from me!). If you have other ideas, you can name them, if you want to do some ideas, please tell me, so I know if there is someone going to help with the event! I can't run the event all alone, so every help I can get is welcome.

The "usual" stuff:

- Food: We need some bakers and cooks to prepare some meal, be it crafted or thought up in the form of books, anything is welcome. Since it is a festival, maybe a variety of sweets you would be nice. For example bonbons, lollipops, candied fruits,...
- Drinks: Alcoholic (beer, liquor,...) and non alcoholic (tea, juices, water, ...) it's the same as with food
- Merchants: Anything you want to sell, can be sold. Maybe something related to the festival like symbols of the portal as pendant or anything else you can think of.
- Decoration - Flowers, pillows, ... anything with colors.

Ideas for artists and other creative stuff:

- Lore-telling: Your charakter doesn't have to be the one who writes those stories. He/she could have heard the story from his/her parents when he/she was small...
- Music: Those who plan to perform using game mechanics, please also have a short description about what you are playing and how well you play it, since there are people who disable the game sounds. (That includes me ;) )
- A play wich centers around the theme maybe
- Religious aspekt: Since the gods were the ones behind the portals leading to Yliakum, maybe some praise towards the gods.
- Religious aspekt: Some kind of pageant of the gods.
- Artists: Art about the gods, the portal or anything else.
- Firework?
- Games: If you can think of some games that could be fun (fun for everyone!), please share your idea so we can see if it is possible to do it or not.

Please spread the word of the event IG as well. Since I am rather busy in RL, I can't log very often, so you have to do it for me.

The event will start on friday 13th September at 22:00 GMT+2.

Probably the most with a lore story. I have one prepared, but it'd be nice if there will be more than only one be told there. But any help is appreciated :)

I fixed the time today. It'll be on friday 30th august at 22:00 CET (20:00 GMT). I hope it's a good time for you to come.

what a GREAT idea, Jilata et al. i have two characters who were interested in this, so i might be able to help with pre-event publicity. (the timing, sad to say, makes it 4am here.)

if any of you want to run this event at different times as well that would be great and will allow people in different timezones to attend.

Too bad. Maybe you can join later if the event is still running then.


As Eonwind wrote, if there are people willing to keep the event running after we left, because it will be too late for us at some point, feel free to do so.

Hey Jilata, would you please get the Ierafal posted on the Community Events board as soon as you and Sarva can? A few of us are also planning a second Magick Convention, and we don't want to interfere with your event.  And as soon as it is fixed (I know you've been discussing times...) I will help advtertize it and talk it up ingame.

Thanks!

JIlata- RR has a little poem to read at Ierefel- and you should nudge Evirea too for her poetry.

If you send me a book /flyer I can help pass out reminders to people this week.  What else do you need?

If I can come to Ierefal, I would be happy to add a booth for the event to explain Klyros Culture. We have Klyros-based sketches (Made by Dannae!!), as well as poetry, weapons, and perhaps lore.

I'm not sure if this fits in with the event or not, so let me know if turns out to be inappropriate for the festival's RP significance.

@Roled: Haraun did those flyers which are put up in Hydlaa. Maybe he has some left overs. I think I have more or less a bit from everything I wanted there. Except drinks. I still don't have anyone organizing some. But at least the usual drinks are easy to get. Just needs some running around....

@Mekora: I think it would fit. At least I don't see a reason why it shouldn't fit ;)

And I just corrected the bad english in those flyers I distributed. Thanks to Sanrai for pointing it out and many thanks to Sarva for very easy and welcome locking service!  :)

(I'll have a look if I'm able to meet you on GMT-evenings, Roled, to hand over some flyers somewhat ICly)


Running to bed an hour to late

Jilata, what time will it be? In planeshift.it its Sat Aug 31 2013 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST) and in thread you said on 12th August Friday 30th August at 22:00 GMT +2 (20:00 CET). What is it?

Thanks,
helios21
Title: Re: Ierefal
Post by: helios21 on August 30, 2013, 11:37:55 am
Uhm, forget my note. I didn“t notice CET versus CEST :)

I will see that I can attend. Maybe a bit later even. Lets see.
Title: Re: Ierefal
Post by: LigH on August 30, 2013, 01:01:31 pm
CET (Central European Time) is GMT+1h
CEST (Central European Summer Time) is GMT+2h

I'd prefer Fr. 22:00 CEST = Fr. 20:00 GMT over Sa. 00:00 CEST = Fr. 22:00 GMT; still, in both cases, it is late for Germany.

The time is:
22:00 GMT +2

If you need another timezone, you have to calculate it yourself :P
Title: Re: Ierefal
Post by: Volki on August 30, 2013, 08:44:19 pm
It's better to provide only one time, generally in GMT (since most people know their timezone in relation to GMT). It's easier than having two conflicting times.
Title: Re: Ierefal
Post by: Jilata on August 31, 2013, 12:05:30 am
Sorry to say it, but the festival was destroyed thanks to some bombs which exploded right at the beginning and hurt almost everyone attending.

Luckily there is an IC reason to redo the event: Ierefal is supposed to go a whole month anyway. At least there is only the month set for the event.

I'll post the date here once it is fixed. I hope  there will be many people coming this time again. [And it will be made sure that it can be run smoothly that time.]

Sorry to hear that. I hope it didn't do too much damage to your event.

Post by: Kanorie Lyanuw on August 31, 2013, 12:23:14 am
I would like to apologize to Jilata for the inconvenience caused, and hope she will be able to pull another festival soon enough that I will attend in quality of a civilised individual. I also promise there won't be any more bombings or disrupting activities the next times, and beckon everyone who thinks jumping in the bandwagon would be cool, to step back and hold it for a while. Not only to let this mellow, but also out of respect.

Again, sorry.
Title: Re: Ierefal
Post by: Jilata on August 31, 2013, 12:34:25 am
Date is already decided:

13th September at 22:00 GMT+2

Place is the same as the last time. I'll also update the first post to the new set date.
Title: Re: Ierefal
Post by: Eonwind on August 31, 2013, 12:50:34 am
for everyone willing to run scenes like those happened at Ierefal it would be much better to get in touch beforehand with the organizers and the GMs and find an agreement on how and where (and eventually if) run them for the happiness of both parties and for better enjoyment of everyone attending the event.

[And it will be made sure that it can be run smoothly that time.]
this is more than sure!  ;)
so for every bomber trying to attend Ierefal again: beware and behave!   ;D

I want to thank for all the help I've gotten for Ierefal. Thanks to them it was possible to run the event, and hopefully enjoyable for everyone attending. At least it was enjoyable for me.

Thanks for all the merchants who showed up. That many weren't expected, so we were actually a little short on stalls for everyone. I am not even sure if there were more merchants than customers ;)

Sarva, Taya, Sarko, Mordaan, Eonwind, Haraun, Minks, Evirea, Llarnia, Firell, Teeleh, Zakena, Waesed, Ech, Rheos, Kaerli, Eardstapa, Roled, Zazhia, Mekora, Cormah, Gonger

I most possible forgot to name some people. Blame my memory for it and I think there were many people supporting the event without me knowing. So also a big thanks to you guys from me even if I didn't name you.
