![]() I actually stayed up till 4am (Aussietime) before I fell asleep and I had a blast. Gaile and the fireworks and conga lines, the good time everyone had so many people wow what a great event. So thanks everyone who made this possible but mainly to Rahja for the idea that got the ball rolling and the community together. Let me know when the next one is on I would love to be part of that as well and I will double the donation I made this time. |

I'll keep an eye out for it, and I will do my best to help when the time comes. We need more events like this ![]() It's a shame, Serenity temple is probably the best place to hold any party based on it's layout. But it's so depressing there. Now Henge of Denravi.. hmm.. it's got an amphitheatre |

I agree with Goddess that Lions would not really be a great idea, that is unless Anet was to sprinkle a little pixie dust on the event(you know, add NPC's and games and special drops and prizes of their own). If they do have an oktoberfest idea up in the air right now then it is definately a neccessity that Rahja emails Gaile and lets her know that he has been thinking about this. It would be wise of them to accept Rahja's help because if the public knew that the event was due largely to a fellow gamer, it could only be positive for the good of the game.
As I was on my journeys around tyria announcing the comming of the Ball, I was amazed by both the excitement that unknowing players expressed and also the skepticism. I was only able to reach so many people before I began to fear the shear numbers of the event(as I am well aware that others of you were also announcing the event). But if we had all the districts of Lions Arch and Kamadan at our desposal, imagine the possibilties! Instead of aware players like us announcing the event, Anet would post up an announcement at the login screen! Obviously being a partially community hosted event we would have to contribute in whichever ways Anet deemed neccessary. This may seem impossible but Rahja could travel with Gaile and be her special guest of sorts while each of us staff memebers go into each district and quizz and give away the donations we recieve and after we quiz and have rock-paper-scissors tournaments an NPC comes in and does some special game like always every 3 hours. And I say instead of a scavenger hunt we have a cross-country race! The way we would do it is the race would start in Yak's Bend and people would form groups of four. After the teams of four were formed either 1 or 2 staff member(s) would join that team and we would do the "ready set go" stuff ect. The staff member would make sure that the team does not use map traveling to get to its destinations, that it purely runs. It would go from Yak's to Henge of Denravi(if you show any intrest i could make out a map for you because it is indeed possible to run from those two destinations) and would have rather nice prizes I reckon. Gaile and Rahja would be at the finish line to watch them as they came in. Heck, maybe I'm completely out of my place by saying any of this, but I would not be happy with myself if I didn't make these ideas known. I think the race would be rather fun. If I am stepping on anyones toes by saying this then I do indeed apologize. |
