Please refrain from inviting me to participate in any possible future event of yours. The great efforts I put in my RP might be nice for others to have some fun hours, but to me it means part of my life wasted and, in the end, nothing left but tears. Thanks in advance for compliance.
Yeah...I'm kind of sorry about this. I knew from the start that most of the effort that went in this event will be wasted...still tried to get as many "old friends" to show up as possible...just for my own, selfish amusement. You have a valid point and of course I will comply with the request...won't be even hard as I doubt I will do any event in PS ever again.
It was just like real life. I stood around and looked at people and left without saying a word to anyone.
Yeah..another valid point that is true for almost any event. I just don't see how we could prevent that from happening. During an event the organizers are usually very busy so have to rely on the guests to make sure everyone is included...what seldom works out as wanted. :/ There were some people I would have liked to see more included.
Hearing 'the people getting killed part' makes me roll my eyes and wish a murder didn't have to happen at every frickin' event. There's nothing wrong with RPing a good fight but are you people really so bloodthirsty that you get bored if nobody dies or sustains an injury? Honestly.
Looks like it. What should I say...it was probably good that I wasn't around at that time. Probably it's just a game among the PS players I wasn't introduced to yet: "I bet 10K I can make a stupid murder story out of everything."
Technically the murder(s) happened outside the event entirely, it was just adjacent to it that it started.
Technically I don't care what excuse people make up for their crappy in-game behavior.
I vote we hold a ball on a monthly bases!
....
Please?
Looks like we have a volunteer for doing the next ball.
If you want to organize that, Zalya, go ahead. xD
Oh..and a helper for Zalya.
*runs*Well, I had a great time, personally. Good job!
That aside, it was an excellent time for the short time I had to stay there (family kept me rather busier IRL than I like to be for the holidays though. Dragging their unwilling, sports-hating youngest to hockey games and the like). For the time I was there people were well-behaved and seemed to be having fun, though I always do find large concentrations of characters hard to follow at times. M got to tell a story I'd written, and her costume seemed to go over well.
A huge thanks from me to all who made this event possible. I mean especially Edaru (Aiwendil) and Lillia (Illysia) and those I didn't notice in the back. (The GM who let Oele play with the smoke coming from the vase made my day somehow.) But I also mean all the players that attended, performers, merchants and every other participant. Thanks a lot. I had a great time!
It was a great three days. I don't think I ever got to know so many different characters in so little time. I think the smoke from day three broke the fourth wall though and made some people forget they wouldn't be able to connect me to Falc, or hallucinate I were only dressed in a loincloth.
Anyway, a big thank you from me too for the event! I had a very good time and enjoyed playing a lot.
Glad to hear some people had fun. Despite the stress I had a good time at the ball too...mostly. And there is always the tiny chance that some people enjoyed it enough to help out Zalya to do the next Ball/Singles Night/Poetry Contest/Bingo evening/Theater play/Whatever.
Now a few comments from me. Three days is too long...the story kind of required that length but it's more or less impossible to entertain people all the time during such a long event. And I also learned something new during this event...make sure to give out an OOC note in advance that all people should disable "auto-accept" for duels. Not wanting to blame anyone there...if people like auto-accept that's fine. Just at an event it can be easily misused by others to mess with the event. And as it's impossible to get rid of people wanting to mess up it's easier to make sure there are no victims for them. Also the place for the ball had a huge advantage to all other places of events I helped with. The two NPC guards right at the ball made it possible to just ignore everyone starting a fight as OOC. Then of course the intended "storyline" didn't work as "intended"...but that's fine and was to be expected. Not being able to tell how something works out is what makes RPing so much fun...and I had a lot fun with the "romantic" ending too. (Though...it was kind of strange having reversed roles with Illysia this time...me playing the shy and inexperienced char..and her the more bold lady
) Then of course we didn't spend enough time in game before the event. Far too many things for my taste were dealt with only OOCly. But again something that couldn't be helped with the limited time we had for the event. And last but not least...if not Illyisa but I had been the boss something like
this would have never happened. Ugggh..moving text. You forgot to make it pink and add some flowers and hearts Illysia.
*laughs and runs very fast*Nah, it was really fun to work with you (again) Illysia.
Edit: I just started another thread to post your costume descriptions in: http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=40563. So...go there and let all people see the great costumes you all had.
