The "Post-OI Christmas Party" Thread :)

[Moogie]

Hey all.

I\'ve just come from the Christmas party in the server, hosted by Ordo Illuminatis guild and Kada. What a great party it was!

I joined an hour before 11pm GMT (the official starting time of the party) and met with others gathered in the tavern. Over the next hour and a half, me and Xolon (and I think someone else, but I can\'t remember who) dropped rubies and emeralds for anyone there to grab. Seperot and Omegian got alot of them... greedy little kitties!


There was loads of people turning up. Kada, Axsyrus, MaSsiE, Giladrial, Xolon, and even Acraig graced us with his presence. Lots of dancing and spinning on the tables. Then we all moved to the temple.


With just 2 minutes to go before Christmas (GMT timezone), I organised my last little competition for MB. Everyone formed a square around one of the patterns on the floor, and I dropped 5 diamonds in the center. These people grabbed one in time:


So congrats to you guys (and girls)!


Acraig got a little carried away with his prezzies... in the end, he had a constant crowd of people running after him, as he dropped crystals, mugs and weapons around the room. Axsyrus got too many of them: \"I only got 2 mugs, 2 broadswords, a long sword, a sabre, a gold falchion and a claymore \" ...and Bobodar didn\'t stop complaining when he didn\'t even get an axe... hehe, poor you. I got a mug (which I gave to Giladrial as a gift *hugs him*) and a Galkard.

Well, it was great fun. Lots of friends, lots of gifts, lots of spinning and running around and chasing Acraig, hehe. Thanks for that, it was fun!


Anyone else who was at the party, I invite you to post your screenies here. That\'s all from me... Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, and have fun!!

Missing this has made me decide to get my new comp earlier, to remove the \"when my bro comes home\" facter from my gamingnessness.

(sorry about the lack on sense in my post, I get like that when I sit around in MTG forums too long)

[Xandria]

NOOOOOOOOOO you passed out all the good stuff just as I had to leave  

But oh well, the Christmas season is not about the gifts you give or receive, but rather the people you spend it with!  And you guys were really a great bunch to be around!!  

Anyway onto my pictures, I uploaded them all and I\'ll give you the links, but some are repetitive so I\'ll only show a couple actual images in my post.  The bold words (\"Picture 1,\" \"Picture 2,\" etc.) are the links to the images which I didn\'t show here (to be nice to those with low bandwidth) but you can click on them to see the image

Picture 1:
Me standing on a table

Picture 2:
Me and my buddy Moogie:)


Picture 3:
Me getting nice \'n toasty by the fire  

Picture 4:
First picture of most of us standing around the tables

Picture 5:
Another group shot (In case you\'re wondering, that\'s Seperot standing on the table; he wouldn\'t stop dancing even when Xolon tried to hand out our presents  8o )

Picture 6:
Seperot finally got off the table, and Xolon is ready to play Santa Claus (he does have a beard after all )

Picture 7:
A group shot I took in first-person mode while I was standing in my spot next to the fire

Picture 8:
Same as before, but I asked for people to line up better for the picture

Picture 9:
Cad offered to take a pic with me in there too, and so while I was there I took another shot in third-person view (I\'m the Dermorian standing in the middle)


Picture 10:
Here\'s everyone standing in the temple shortly after we relocated there (the tavern was quite crowded) and just before I had to leave


And that\'s all I was able to stay for, I had to get to my family\'s big Christmas Eve party that we have every year.  I\'d have to say being with all of you was more fun, except that none of your brought food

I guess you can\'t have your cake and eat it too, or maybe you can...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!


Edit: for those of you going crazy because of Acraig\'s silly \"Random Screen Shot\" idea, I made a page that will load up *all* of his pictures.  Watch out, it takes awhile.

On another random note, did anyone ever figure out who these two were?  Nice to see the Christmas spirit is going around

[Xordan]

lol, looked fun. Too bad I wasn\'t stable enough at 11pm to join. I could bearly walk...  

[Xolon]

yea, i was a great party. I would like to thank everybody who joined us there. It wouldn\'t be this much fun with only 3 ppl

up to the next party...and hopefully in CB

[Kada-El]

Wow, what a great party, I had so much fun! I\'m just about starting to recover now i think

Thank you so much  to everyone for coming and making it the fun event it was!
