[OOP] Order of the Phoenix I

I just thought I'd post this here. It's a small event I was planning on hosting for my alliance, but it's gotten bigger and bigger as we've invited friends to join us. I just thought I'd share with the Guru community - Feel free to stop by!

*please note this is a small alliance event so the prizes might not be all THAT great, but hey, you never know.

*

A south wind blows unto the lands of Tyria, reminding us all that our lands are touched by the lethargic days of summer. The Boardwalk of Kaineng Center is alight with festive glory as denizens of Tyria along with members of the OOP Alliance descend upon it with a cheery glow. Join together with your friends and all others you wish to invite to celebrate the great community we all share!

The Queen is always in for a Bar-B-Que. I hope you have plenty of elementalists ready to flip burgers because I have one hell of an appetite.

I dont mean to sound harsh, but as long as people dont have any quests from the market place, there should be no enemies along that route. But if he is offering for free, then i guess it means a faster run.

By the way, does GMT actually mean BST, or GMT+1?

EDIT- using this time converter ( http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc ) It says that for UK's current time, it will start at midnight, or at the start of sunday.

I'll probably be there pretty late. But since there is an after party, I'll try to make it.

I can't quite remember but I think what I was intending was that that was GMT, not GMT +1. So it would start at 10:00pm GMT, 11:00pm GMT +1 (UK Time).

I'll PM you guys like a stalker when the festivities are about to start

Dont worry, i got a few shots of the costumes, which will be in my video! Yes, it will probably be crap as always. Thanks for giving me the worst costume award!

And thanks for the event! It was great fun with everyone around! I think everyone also had a great time too, so good work OOP alliance. I look forward to seeing you in action again soon!

Wonderful Freebies! I was hoping someone had taken a few screen shots! I look forward to seeing your video of the event.

And for those interested, here's a video showing the very final leg of the race!

I had a great time. Thanks for your invitation and I hope to see more of these events from your alliance in the future.

At first I was afraid I might not be able to make it. But due to unfortunate events, fortunate things were possible, and I was able to make it none the less.

Crap, the film is a large file, and is apparently taking 2 hours to save.

Compress it as a Quicktime video using the Sorensen Video compressor. Set the video size to 640x480 or 320x240. Make sure the video isn't longer than 10 minutes when uploading to youtube. Audio compression might help as well.

Thanks for the tips Queen Malafide, ill be sure to try that for future videos.

But, in other news, the video is up-without music. For some reason it wont play on the 2 different computers I have tried it on. I cant seem to fix it on the storyboard, so im afraid it will have to stay that way, unless i can fix it. I will repost it if i can.
