Event Ideas!!

[Anonymous]

Boredom got the best of me. Here are some ideas I jotted down for future events we host.

Who:
     1) Zionist Only
     2) “Mix” all Zionists, Mervs, and Machinists
     3) Alliance Potentials (perhaps one night each for Zionists, Mervs, and Machinists, if any of the second two)
     4) Angels Only (to let new Angels meet with the rest of the crew, a “family gathering,” if you will)

When:
     1) Monthly
     2) Bi-monthly
     3) Quarterly
     4) Friday and Saturday nights seem best, start letting guests in at, say, 5 or 6 FA time, start events an hour later
    **Attendance seems to improve with consistent timing, so we should lock a time and keep it for all events of the same nature**

Where:
     1) Various Clubs
     2) Random coordinates to a specific building or open area that is NOT a club (more recommended for open parties)

Why:
     1) Promoting
     2) Recruiting
     3) Alliance Forming
     4) Social Gathering

What:
     1) Buy an Angel (similar to the bachelor/bachelorette auction)
          a. Level 1-10 = 20 minutes of work
          b. Level 11-20 = 30 minutes of work
          c. Level 21-30 = 45 minutes of work
          d. Level 31-40 = 1 hour of work
          e. Level 41-50 = 1½ hours of work
          **Depending on how many people we have at each level, dedicate a certain time frame to each category**
          **Perhaps after the Angel Auction is over, open the floor to other persons who want to auction themselves; along those lines, sponsor Merv Auctions or Machinist Auctions (sponsor, not necessarily host)**
          **Perhaps instead of working for the winning bidder, the winner receives a “date” with the Angel they bought; give the prize of the reservation of a club for an evening**
          **Angels cannot bid on other Angels; it’s not fair to those who do not have 4 billion info (haha)**

     2) Raffles (since it was so successful the last time, why not make it tradition?)
          a. Raffle 1: Based on previous raffle (to calm suspicion on how we get this much money to give out, perhaps charge $1,000 per raffle ticket, assign a number to each ticket, just for kicks to make it more realistic). Prizes: $100,000 ...  $250,000 ... $500,000 ... $1,000,000 ... $2,500,000 ... $5,000,000 ... $10,000,000 ... $25,000,000 ... $50,000,000 ... $100,000,000 ... $250,000,000 ... $500,000,000 ... $1,000,000,000
               **This should also be on a schedule, perhaps one drawing every half hour or so (perhaps cut out the few two amounts); this helps keep people around for the night **
          b. Raffle 2: 50/50 Raffle: Players donate however much info they want (make a minimum of like $1,000 or so), we keep track of the money given to us, the winner receives half of the raffle money we received. We can donate the other half to something, perhaps have another drawing to donate it to another faction’s bank.

     3) Speeches
          a. These can be inspirational, humorous, whatever; perhaps start out the event with serious, motivational speeches, then near the end of the night have improv speeches for humorous purposes.
          b. DEMAND quiet while speeches are given. This means pause the raffles, games, and bartenders advertising the best drinks (haha). Inflict harsh punishment on those who violate the quiet.

     4) Plays:  reenact simple one-acts, like a scene from Romeo and Juliet, a scene from one of the Matrix movies, a scene from Star Wars, anything. We can turn it into a game, as well. Participants can whisper guesses as to what the scene is from, correct answers will be given a prize.

     5) Casino: it was a success at the last event, so why not stick with things that work?

     6) Dance-Off: this can be a bit difficult since someone can /dance and walk off, leaving their RSI for hours.  Perhaps set up teams, made up of x amount of players. The players have to agree on the same dance, we set up a time, say, 15 minutes, and two teams dance off. The more synchronized and creative team goes on to the next round.

     7) Best of RSI:
          a. Best Personality (ask silly, goofy “Miss America” questions, just for kicks)
          b. Best Dressed
          c. Cutest Couple (maybe not, we’re all biased haha)
          d. Most Clever Alias

      Prizes: info, weapons, clothing, abilities. Select coders to make an array of prizes.  Make a private site with lists of prizes with small thumbnail pictures (clothing) and info on each item (buffed items, weapon requirements, etc.). The site can be password protected, and the password can be given through whispers to those inquiring of the list.

AAAAAAND that's all, folks! Leave some feedback and ideas and we can start working on another event! Yay!

Meh...


...

Too girly...

[Anonymous]

Ouch, that seemed like it took a long time to type out, and to be met by such rejection. Oh well, I don't really mind, seeming as I will be asleep for most of the parties..... ever.

[Anonymous]

I always try tp stay up for the partys.  I take a nap for awhile on the nights I have to stay up late.  Although saying that I only got 2 hrs sleep before I had to go to work on the Zion Mixer.  Went to bed 4 Am GMT lol.

Dude !  Tbone !

Do you want Grim to start flirting with Seraosha ?

[Tbone]

Heh, it's a joke between Grim and I. She said she was typing a long thing out and I was like "I'm gonna read it and just be like 'meh...it's too girly'". Sooo, I had to :-P

[Anonymous]

Now it all makes perfect sense

[Anonymous]

It still seemed pretty F'd up.  You guys have a weird relationship.

I think we should talk with some of the people outside of the angels and begin some sort of player run storyline.  We could combine the mature writing minds of the Angels and the cool members of the Collective with a talent for writing or something along those lines.  Since the real stuff wont happen 'til the game gets released (Never) we may as well forge our own.  Some of this could fit into the party idea, somehow work RP sessions into them and then write them someplace..

[Anonymous]

FLIRT WITH SERAOSHA!?!?!

*shudders*
*feels dizzy, collapses on the floor*
*pukes up something nasty*

ugh ... i think something inside me just broke .... maybe my stomach of steel ... that didn't feel too good ...

[Anonymous]

I'm glad you're still on our side Grim.

The day that such a thought will not make you violently ill, as it seems to do now, I'll be very worried.

[Anonymous]

Dude... I'm a guy (nowhere close to being gay), and the thought of that happening even makes me sick.

[Ketamininja]

...uh wow (there's almost a hijack in progress, time to save the day).

All brilliant *applauds* #6 we could shout out to change move - its up to the teams to syncro themselves to the same dance, that would get rid of people leaving the keyboard

It would be GREAT to hold events in PvP areas, there must be SOMEWHERE... It could really help build a community - the real world is a place where fights can break out in bars, most people wont tolerate it.. either that or bar brawl. Anyway, I'll make that one more suggestion then:

Mutual Trust Party lol.

[Anonymous]

Wow this thread is now back on track.  We are actually talking about the original purpose of this thread.

Feels so... weird.

[Anonymous]

That is what this game is missing, bar fights. I so want to smash a bottle into the face of Biohazard.
