Might push it back if everyone keeps complaining. You sissies.

yeah this was meant to be taken as sarcasm.

Unfortunately, there is no way we are going to change the date for you boner-killers. It's taken too long to organize (As Lizzie said, months).

Usually, Luirsfest falls around valentines day. It's now late march, and it's not going to happen until mid April. Capiche? So study before hand, make Luirsfest, and have fun :)

EDIT:::

I have missed many RPT's in the past due to RL scheduling. Fortunately, this RPT is 5 days long.

If only I had five bucks for every time a midterm, final, paper, or assignment has prevented me from attending some fun event.  Even if this was rescheduled, I'm certain the university would find some way of mucking it up.

It is, as you say, five days.  See what happens.

p.s. Arm already ruined my mark in probability.  I am a bad bad man.

Your midterm assignment:

calculate the odds of your getting each possible grade, based on the number of hours studied, hours of sleep, hours of physical activity, hours of imbibing in toxic substances (bonus points if they're illegal), hours arming, and comprehension of content measured as x(2d*y-(7.4-(x/y)), with x eing the sum of armhours + imbibing/hours studied+hours of sleep.

That equation looks like the 'lot of fun' equation.

I am looking forward to my first one of these based on the awesome people say it is. I have no idea what's due or testing that week, but whatever. :D

I dunno. The last Luirsfest I went to wasn't that spectacular, but the one before it was supracool. Chances are I'll make it to a few events this year, and if previous trends continue, will make an ass out of myself.

In Kurac, prostitute pwns you.

As I recall, somebody tried to assassinate a certain long-lived Tor, missed, and got whalloped by a few NPCs, including a fat prostitute. Everyone blinked for a minute or two, then the body was carried out, rugs were tossed over the bloodstained floor, and the party kept on partying.

The whore NPC jumped into the fight first if I remember right. The would-be assassin actually got past both noble guards with their attack but was then clobbered instantly by the prostitute. One of Arm's true wtf just happened there moments.

Don't feck with the hoes in Luirs!
The sound of a thunderous explosion tears through the air and blasts waves of pressure ripple through the ground.

Hey folks,

It's that time again, mark your calanders.

April 14th-April 19th. Find out Details IC.

Too bad I'm out of town for business that weekened. (Between 15th and 18th.) And the other days? Hell no, they are weekdays and I'm working overtime on a new project during april and may.. :(( I may be able to make it to the fest, but possibly at off-peak hours.. :((
A foreign presence contacts your mind.

You think:
"No! Please leave me be whoever you are."

You sense a foreign presence withdraw from your mind.

I have a feeling I'll miss this one as well, for IC reasons. Just like every single one that has happened so far.

So... have twice the fun, everyone!

There was originally talk of pushing this back a week due to mass college testing and such. Was this ever decided upon?
Squinting at the such-and-such dwarf, the so-and-so woman asks, in sirihish:
     "You put jam in your peenee hole to keep from making baby juice?"

April 14th-April 19th is still the slated date for the festival.

Hell, I'll be there. I'm just happy for an RPT I can actually attend.  ;D

YOUR SILLY WISHES HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!

Loorzfest will most likely be delayed due to RL problems amongst many a person.

Stay tuned.

Whining pays off.
Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

It wasn't our whining. It was his computer exploding.  :o

And for a completely unrelated reason having nothing to do with his sudden and timely computer troubles, I now owe Ghost 20 bucks.

Yes, thanks to the complaints of the masses  ;D, we have narrowed it down:

Luirsfest will be held on Monday  :D , June 7. The first batch of events will occur at 8:30AM  ;) , Eastern Time and end no later than 10:15AM  8) , Eastern. The second batch of events will begin at  :P 5:20PM Eastern, and the End Of Luirsfest Ceremony will finish no later than 7:35PM EST.  :o

These are the exact times that the majority of the playerbase can attend  :) . Some of the people running it might also attend.  :D

Edited to add smiley faces so that the uninitiated to LizzieHumor would know this was a joke.

Did someone pee in your spice ale? I guess it's all sarcasm, with those posted times and all but I suggest you don't post fake times/dates. Sarcasm and irony don't always carry over well in text and it's easy to be confused. Getting people to coordinate and plan their RPT attendance is difficult as it is.

I don't care if people can't show up because of exams and what have you, but apparently it was a problem for quite a few among us. I'm surprised that someone who is organizing the event takes on that kind of approach you're displaying (in the quoted post and the one on the previous page). Makes the whole thing less appealing for me, from an OOC perspective. IC is another matter. And yeah, I know how much work and how frustrating it is/can be to plan a big RPT.

Makes me wonder if it'll be a one-day event or if we'll get accurate times/dates from Reiloth eventually. *shrugs*

QuoteLoorzfest will most likely be delayed due to RL problems amongst many a person.

Methinks the date isn't being changed only because of players not being able to attend, but organizer's/staffer's time also.

No biggie. Hopefully the dates/times will be posted ICly too.

Luirsfest is canceled until further notice.

Thanks for understanding.
