The Ojafest!
« on: August 05, 2006, 04:28:50 am »
I have an idea to help revitalize oja! Sometime in early october I will be holding the first Ojafest!  :woot:  A huge festaval being held in Oja!  \\o//
People will show the avalible things in Oja, and people will provide attractions, drinks, ect.

I hope to get some help. i want everyone in Yillakum to know about this. Oja needs this. I have a IC explanation and everything.  :)

What do you think? I hope this will be BIG. one of the biggest events to happen in the game thus far. mabye i'm being a bit ambitious.  :sweatdrop:

Please post ideas and Imput. I'll probably need some GM help for this  :-\

Spread the word!  ;)

GOOD IDEA!  I love Ojaveda!  In fact, I spend most of my time there!  This is something that this city needs.  We should have tournaments and contests.  This could easily be done IC because Enkis are very "worldly" people, if you know what I mean.  One tournament we should consider having is a Vitaji tournament (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24897.0) seeing as the "history" says that Ojaveda is one of its origins (shameless plug? nah!)

One idea, if we could get the devs to tell us when they are about to open one of the doors (those gaint ones, that have me going crazy trying to figure out what's going to be behind them), we could have the festival right after they open it.  Of course we would need to know beforehand to be able to plan sufficiently, but this could be a great way to attract LOTS of visitors.

Sesmi, you've got me excited.   \\o//

You're going to have to wait a long time.. No Dsars are in development at the moment, so unless you're going to put Ojafest on hold for half a year, you might want to skip this idea for now.

Acting though, there's a thought! How about plays, comedy skits, reenactments? We have a lot of comedy actors in the community. It'd be fun to let some of them take the stage :} Poetry and drama can be saved for another time - when you're meant to have fun, no better way than to produce laughter.

How about eating contests? Sure, it'll depend on people's systems and perhaps lag, but hey, it's something to do and it'll be amusing regardless. Even if it's affected by some OOC factors, it's not the end of the world. Let's get out those fortune tellers, dancers, merchants with their goods, special effects mages ;} Does pet following work? How about mini pet races?

i never player WoW, but i saw one thing there that would be realy perfect for a event like this.

dance.

Yes, i KNOW that the animators are overbooked, but i think a dance animation one time in the future would be great to make partys :-)

One idea might to have a roof-jumpping competition.  Lots of people have been getting good at jumpping along the tops of the stuff off to the left of the main area.  It's mildly dumb, and fairly useless, but fun nonetheless.  ;)

yeah the ultimate dance move is to doble hit the sit button then jump around. And the side step and sneek animation are good for a dancing.

Great idea! I will be there! Everybody can do something different or bring things to trade. Be sure to invite the actors guild ... there IS an actors guild isn't there? Fine arts do seem neglected in Hydlaa...

Eldoth tries to juggle a red, blue, and yellow ball but quickly loses balance and falls on his backside!

 comedy, no we proly shouldnt have that, most people i have seen in PS have a very dry humor its like somone took all the funny out of there funny bone yaknow....( yes i know, that was not funny ) if you make somone giggle in plainshift it better be simple,polite,and childish....if a 5 year old couldnt understand or should not hear it....most times planeshift comunity would try to give you the death penalty 

im thinking Enki battles would be the best thing to have.
then again me an Dazx could always do our incredible jumping act,  ( its kind of like a 2 man mosh pit )  and our Kran with wings illusion....thats one that people always love...
maybe have some peopel repairing weapons for free and while your waiting you can join in all the stuff
magic competitions would be fun.  maybe a big game of hide and seek 
would also bring some people to oja if a wedding and reception was planned there that day
