Fall Festival in planning! - ADDED INFO! Please read!

[moonsongtx]

I am gathering names of people who would like to help plan what I hope will be not only an annual event but the start of other player-run shard-wide events (as in player-run... not staff run). Don't get me wrong... I LOVE our staff and their events. But I also love the idea of holding events that our staff members can participate in without being staff if that makes sense. They are players too!

So here is the plan... I'd like us to get together and hold a Fall Festival. Tentative date would be October 24 (US time). Different guilds/people would host various games for people to play. So far, some ideas are:

Scavenger Hunt: You'll have clues that will send you all over the world. You might have to answer a question to get one clue in the middle of Destard. You might have to slay a dragon in the middle of the desert. Maybe you have to tame an ostard and bring it to a location in the Solen Hives. Who knows!

Chicken Run: This idea is still in the works... but the jest of it is to take a chicken (tamed or human-form) and keep it alive for a set amount of time in some dungeon. Those that make it to that set time will compete against each other in another round.

Mage Spawn Races: Mages will use "Summon Creature" to race against another mage to summon whatever creature is called out.

Archery or dartboard contest: I'd like archery but not sure if there are archery buttes that work?

Those are just some ideas so far. The event will be held in Serpent's Hold in the old Counselor Hall. To make this event work though, we need volunteers. Ideally this would be from various guilds. This festival would be an awesome guild recruitment event! Please contact me in game (Neve DeLeon) or here in the forums

I'd like to try to hold a planning meeting in the next week or so to see what kind of ideas we can have going. Thanks!

Joust in the PVP dungeon is a fun idea for part of your fall series of events. Here are some rules that our guild uses when we have guild jousting events. We usually setup a jousting arena at one of our houses, but in this case it would have to be in the PVP dungeon for non-guildies to attack each other. The armor in the boxes are the same, one black, one white. Just standard plate armor.

Rules/Instructions:
-Wear only what is in the Box, no jewelry, nothing.
-Lances are all "Use Best Weapon skill" so you don't have to worry about your fencing skill
-Mount Horse, make sure you are in "war mode", target your opponent, activate "Dismount" Special
-I will say 3 2 1 Joust! You attack on "Joust!"
-Once someone is dismounted, they are the loser. (you might have to make several passes)
-The winner will go on to face other winners from that round
-Rounds will continue until there is but one TDC Joust Champ Declared
-If it comes to an odd number of players in a round, the person who was most recently removed from the competition will act as a stand in against the odd numbered person. If the "stand in" wins, neither player moves on, if the "odd number" wins, then he moves on to the next round.

Yes they work properly and you get a random amount of points every time you hit the target. fun stuff

I have had several replies of people wanting to help out for the Fall Festival and I'm SO excited! I'd like anyone who wants to help to come to a planning meeting on Saturday, September 5 at 7 pm central time. (This is 2400 Sunday morning shard time!) We'll be meeting in the bar at the Alpha Legion guild house.

During this meeting, I'd like us to toss around ideas of events/games, talk about possible vendors (theme related!) and ideas for prizes. Once the meeting is over, I'll post some of the info in this thread so people know what we have planned for Fall Festival! I'd love for this to be the first of MANY events!

So please, even if you haven't contacted me, try to make it to this meeting. If your guild wants to participate please send one or two to be your liason. And if you have any questions contact me! I can't wait!!
