Killer Toast is rather generous with his gift of 1g. I gave him some ale, though.
I'm giving away ale, by the way.

LOL I wnet and tehy had a long line. I waited and got some Ale from Killer! Wish I could have been there earlier when there was better presents. Oh well. Thanks Killer and LBS.
Bane of Mortality
Killer Toast is a Santa fraud! I just asked him for world peace and he said he'd make it happen. 10 seconds later before I left a fight broke out on someone cutting in line.

Merry Christmas from Me No Fat
This was very good fun! I had a great time from 4-7pm CST then I sadly had to go to work. I just wanted to share with you all the gifts that I gave out. I hope you were lucky enough to get something from one of the LBS members. We really are a fun guild. Yes...I think we may have underestimated the turn out a bit. We were doing non stop runs to Droks and ascension for the entire time I was on. It was almost impossible to find a runner from LBS that wasn't giving gifts or waiting on a 2nd runner (speed and assurance of 1 spawn) in Int D2.
We had a great turnout. There were a couple of hicups through Lomars but not many. I think when I left we were running at 98% success through Lomars and that is nothing to shake your head at. If we do this next year I think we will cut the event down a few hours. Seven hours was a little ambitious.
Well here is a sneak peak in this santas bag o' toys

I Think we have given out Approx 1million gold or more tonight i may be off by 100k or so either way, i know 2 of our members gave over 30 ecto each and a significant amount of cash with that as well, i gave roughly 150k in ecto,shards,gold. And then taking into account all the gold weapons, and every other members individual contributions (which im not fully aware of, there was so much going on at once), and all the free runs (yes some people ran there asses off tonight - AND THEY STILL ARE DOING THEM!)
It is very safe to say this was a huge success for an event and im very happy that i was able to take part. I enjoyed playing little games with people and it was good to have a laugh with people, 1 or 2 idiots as expected, and some people who chase u all day opening trade, but it was still fun.
Sorry to those individuals who took part in my queue and acted normally and didnt get anything cause of other idiots.

I came back when it was wrapping up and Got a Steel Key lol.
Bee was in the process of giving out the last of that stuff for the profession contests (an unid gold eternal shield I beleive), and the rest were giving out ale and keys.
I gave away a Dye Remover and he turned around and gave it as a prize in Scion says.Then I gave away some piles of Glittering Dust, and Charr hides, and ended my stay by giving away the Piken Sqaure Longsword (the one that looks like a cystiline)

Yes, i ran out of items and was tired of people non stop opening trade with me so i started giving out starter elemental rods. But, i must say, since i am the best player in guild wars 
those rods customized to me will be worth over 100k soon!

Not sure what the situation was, but everytime I tried to add my self to a LBS group I kept getting rejected. There was enough room for me in the group but I was never added. If the members I was trying to group with were not running, they didnt tell me. They simply either let me sit there with an invitation waiting, or rejected me. I finally did get my run, but not by LBS. Anyway, I did enjoy watching people take part in the games and the dancing everywhere. So it was not a complete loss, well i got my run, so not a loss at all. Just wish those LBS I tried to invite had said something to me.
Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas!!!

I gave a lot of stuff out tonight... around 100 ales, 50+ dyes, some rares, some gold too. I'm not in LBS, but I got 2nd/3rd in a competition and won a +30 HP pommel. Thank you LBS! I hope those of you who I gave stuff to enjoys your gifts!

I now can empathize with Gaile. You are all insane and I love you for it.
I hope you don't hold it against us if you didn't get what you were looking for.
If you did get a run from LBS please head over to our website and leave us some feedback ( http://www.lbsra.net/forums/ ). We love hearing from you. Good or bad.....
Slotter
I got really annoyed, I was sitting waiting there for almost 2 hours, never got my run. :-(. Even tho I enjoy using LBS as my runnin buisness, it was really frustrating.

I was disappointed because I was there for an hour or so and got..well, nothing. I was there 3 hours after it started and they said "We've already given everything out."
dansamy
Well, if they were/are offering free runs from Ascalon to LA and/or Drok's so that newbs don't miss out on the holiday goodies, I think that's awesome.
Sol_Vie
Your generosity (and obvious display of wealth) has convinced me to get a few more ectos so I can (hopefully) join your ranks with my war's account. See you soon [LBS].
See you soon [LBS].
dansamy
well, you have to remember that word of an event like this spreads fast. Those poor runners probably had no chance to enjoy the rest of the festivities for running to Drok's, zone back to Beacon's, rinse & repeat.
Red Locust
Merged the two lbs holiday giveaway threads. Hope everyone had a good time.

(some hours) and I personally apologize that you missed out on exceptional displays of both good
and bad skills. <----Toast you did good....Me did bad...died 2 times in Lomars. Just happy we had dual runners those 2 times. I still hope that you and yours have a very Merry Christmas!
Thorinfire
Well I showed up hoping for a Droks run, because I want to get armor for my E/N so I can thru the skills unlocking, with my third toon thru the game, Im gonna take shortcuts
Anyway I try to join this one LBS members group Hanso Togakure, and Hanso tells me he is going to the desert instead, and asks me if thats what I want to do. I hadn't planned on that, but said hey what the he11, its Xmass why not
All I have to say is Hanso for teh win! What a fun guy to run with! Very good at what he does and very professional. One member of my group was quite frankly being a horses arse but Hanso was polite to him the whole time even though all I wanted to do was choke him :lol: I mean this was a XMASS freebe!
So Hanso takes us to the desert, runs us thru every single town and does one of the missions for us!
After we do that I go back to Beacon's 1 and try and get a XMASS present. I wait in line and try and answer trivia, and nothing is happening. Then all the sudden who opens a trade window with me? Hanso out of the blue and gives me a yellow staff for the new Mo/W Im working on.
WOW
Thanks LBSRA, and especially thanks Hanso for the great GW XMASS gift last night. When I get enough ectos put away, Ill probably be sending you an application.
These guys and especially Hanso get my strongest recommendation for running and mission completion services. Hanso; I posted in your thread and will be geting ahold of you about a run to Droks in the near future. IGN is Aravir Elessar. If you need a recommendation in game and I'm on, send me a tell and let me know who to talk to.
Merry XMASS! to all the LBSRA folks, thanks for the great gift last night, and especially thanks for trying to be so patient with everyone when the demand for your services last night was so high! You guys did a great service to the community last night and I for one really appreciate it

It was meant to be a fun time for everyone to enjoy... if you wanted to get in on free items you should have went at the beggining (I was there from 3:30 Central till bout 10 mins after it ended)
Raptox
Just wanted to say thanks to all the LBS members who went millions of miles beyond the call last night. You guys have done something for the community that's going to be hard to ever match. Have a great holiday, and seriously, take some time off!

I hope someone enjoys the Dwarven Axe that was given out

I would like to post a "thank you" to LBS for this holiday giveaway! I got both my mesmer and my necro run to Drok's. They were 2-1 through Lornar's Pass, which I thought was quite impressive, since the other times I've had Drok's runs the runners were more like 1-3. Also very friendly and polite. This is the best advertising y'all could have ever had! I will definitely remember LBS if I need any runs in the future.
LaserLight
Hm hm...I sat in Beacon's International D1 from about eleven thirty in the morning till roughly five or six. I can safely say that close to the start of festivities, and after things had kicked off, that things were nuts. Personally, I think LBSRA's best Christmas present to the players in that event was staying sane long enough to complete their runs :-P. All I know is that me (Ria of the Twilight), and a relatively tiny handful of other players (Dawn Wraithwind, Sybille of Istari) seemed to be the only voices of reason in an endless sea of people with bad grammar asking for items. I ended up just clicking off the Local channel in disgust. Still, I did get a great Cruel Wingblade of Trollslaying, free booze, and in on one of the runs Me No Fat died in XP. The guy that completed the run, Brutaniu, was an awesome player, and was a good sport all the way through.
As bloody intimidating as this insane display of Guild wealth was, I give my most sincere thanks to Lady Bluesteel's Running Academy for this awesome party, and my heartfelt sympathy for having to put up with what ye did. I know I wouldn't have had the patience for it.

I missed it. My computer was undergoing repairs... *sobs*
Sir Skullcrasher
I was there last night. And it was the worst place to be at with all those unkown peoples. No offense to the LBS memembers like Eks, Killer Toast and others. But seriously, those idiots (aka... "GIVE ME STUFF", or "I WANT BUNCH OF ECTOS" users) should have not been invite for the party. All they did was stand there and complain and whine. About mid-way through giving out free gifts, people start a riot. You see people typing in all cap, and cut in line and generally being a dumbass.
Still the event is good and hope that LBS will continue their running acdemy and start events like this.
Good job overall. Althought i didn't get gift since someone last night ruin it!
