Luirs RPT - set date: friday, april 29th - saturday, april 30th

[Seraphim]

We now have set the definite date, for any questions or requests you're welcome to ask IC. The various gossip posts name the two groups involved, they should be able to give you answers or direct you to the group member who is directly responsible.

This will be a two-week event in IC terms, with 4 RPTs total. We're trying to provide some fun in between the RPTs as well, and anyone who is able might also want to consider sunday 1st of may for an extended stay - if anything doesn't work out with the RPTs, one or two may be moved to sunday. And the fun party people will probably be sticking around for awhile. RPTs will start on

Friday, april 29th approx. 8 PM EST

and

Saturday, april 30th approx. 4 PM EST

The first round of gossip has been spread on tavern boards in Tuluk / Luirs / Allanak. More will be revealed over time, and more can be found out IC.

[Reiloth]

Good luck!

[Barsook]

I hope I can make it. 

[Cindy42]

I'm so effin' excited.

[Bebop]

I should be able to make it according to the OOC time frames should I at that time have a character that can attend.  

[Erythil]

I'll be there.

[boog]

I don't foresee any issues.

[Tenua]

Only -tiny- issue I see is that it would be -right- before finals for us college students. Making it even a week later would make things more relaxes for me, personally.

[Fathi]

I'll probably be out of town for this, but best of luck!

[Seraphim]

Only -tiny- issue I see is that it would be -right- before finals for us college students. Making it even a week later would make things more relaxes for me, personally.

Are finals the first week of may?

I would prefer to do it a bit sooner rather than even later - one or at most two weeks sooner. Would this help at all?

[hyzhenhok]

I can attend it in general, but I'd like to know the timing of a few specific events so I can make sure I can participate in the ones I want.

Oh, and Sunday night wouldn't work out for me. That's Monday morning in my timezone, and I gots work.

[Is Friday]

This is gonna be awwsum.

They are. A bit earlier would work as well. :-)

[Bushranger]

Already conspiring working with my friendly local regional manager to organize two days work leave for this. Just need to get the confirmed dates locked in! It is going to be awesome and at least 15% more fluffy than any other RPT, guaranteed!

p.s. Isn't it awesome having a regional manager who is a gamer and understands when you need to take a day or two off for a planned online event or a midnight release!

[Marshmellow]

Sunday nights are bad news for a lot of people.  May I suggest Friday and Saturday?

[Cindy42]

I'm a student too. Let's attempt to do all our studying early, instead. Memorize that crap until you dream about it, if studying earlier is possible.

or perhaps extend the length of time to three days, to the friday like someone suggested?

We as players can grow our own roleplaying time to the friday before and maybe the monday after. Tailgating party and whatnot.

[Seraphim]

Sunday nights are bad news for a lot of people.  May I suggest Friday and Saturday?

We're going to have to work with somewhat offpeak times - events will start at around 4 PM EST. I am, unfortunately, offpeak. A friday would probably be even worse than a sunday for this very reason.

Perhaps with this much notice in advance, people could try to liberate one sunday for a possibly once-in-your-Arm-lifetime opportunity? 

[Spice Spice Baby]

Perhaps with this much notice in advance, people could try to liberate one sunday for a possibly once-in-your-Arm-lifetime opportunity? 

Like another poster said, Sunday night for you guys is Monday for me.

I'd hate to miss it, but I can't take a whole day off work.

[smcdonald]

I don't think it can be a week earlier, because that's Easter.

[Seraphim]

Alright, I'll tentatively set this to:

Friday, 29th of april (about 8 PM EST starting time)

to

Saturday, 30th of april (about 4 PM EST starting time).

There will be 4 RPTs total, 2 on each of those days, and quite a bit of stuff to do and see in between as well. Probably even on sunday.

Dear College students, please start studying ahead of time! 

That will totally mess up my sleep schedule on friday, but for you guys, the sacrifice is well worth it. Now I just have to check with everyone else if this works for them.

[Lizzie]

Wow those times are spot-on perfect..no idea if my character -would- attend this - but if so, then count my PC in as either a participant, or witness/audience member! Or maybe my PC will come and cast mon un blow up Luir's. Good times, either way!

[hyzhenhok]

Good times for me. Now to just make sure I don't stupidly get my PC killed and re-roll and get myself tangled up in an iso role that can't attend!

[drunkendwarf]

Now to just make sure I don't stupidly get my PC killed and re-roll and get myself tangled up in an iso role that can't attend!

Just don't log in for two months. 

[Kismetic]

I'm trying to wrap my brain around what actually goes down on a Sunday night ...

Weekends are supremely bad for me.   Which is opposite of the normal world, so I understand.  I'd "take off work" but I doubt I could justify dropping a grand to attend an event on a game.  Come to think of it, I haven't missed a day of work in six years.

It's a pity, too ...  you'd want me to come.  Enjoy!

[Cindy42]

Let's as players arrive early and add additional RP goodness to the tailgating party! and stay late as well. let's RP so much our heads explode.

[BleakOne]

I'm looking forward to it. I missed the last one, so this time hopefully I'll be there.

[Seraphim]

I'm looking forward to it. I missed the last one, so this time hopefully I'll be there.

There is no 'last one', to my knowledge this kind of multi-RPT event has never been done before. It's not Luirsfest, it's what the gossip boards label it. 

Glad to see you guys seem to be as excited about it as I am.

More information will be up on the boards in a month or so, and the general rules / locations for everything will be posted in Luirs.

[Seraphim]

Update: Friday may not work for one of the two organizers. If this turns out to be true, we will have to move it back to the original plan of saturday / sunday.

[drunkendwarf]

I know it's still quite a ways off but when things become more solidified a more detailed, even if tentative, "Activity A will start at 8pm on Saturday. Activity B will follow whenever A is wrapped up" type of schedule would be highly appreciated! And please oh please schedule the more attended activities later in the evening! (The fighting, auction, etc).

[Seraphim]

The schedule with exact starting times will be solidified in a few RL weeks, maybe even sooner. 

And please oh please schedule the more attended activities later in the evening! (The fighting, auction, etc).

We're going to have to work with somewhat offpeak times - events will start at around 4 PM EST. I am, unfortunately, offpeak.

I can work around that for friday, if we manage to do it on friday, but haven't heard back on that issue yet. On the plus side:

This is gonna be awwsum.

[drunkendwarf]

We're going to have to work with somewhat offpeak times - events will start at around 4 PM EST. I am, unfortunately, offpeak.

Yah, that's 2pm my time which is waaay too early for me to be able to participate. I suspect several other folks are in the same skimmer, but obviously ya gotta go what ya gotta do. Just so very much hoping to make the more attended events, because...

This is gonna be awwsum.

[Seraphim]

I believe all of the 4 planned RPTs have the potential to draw a crowd... so don't fret too much if you have to miss some of them. 

The probably most popular one of the 4 will be during peak time, I believe.

[Seraphim]

The date has been set, original post updated.

Feel free to inquire IC as well!

[Seraphim]

More details will be on the city gossip boards soon.

The most detailed information, including pointers to locations of particular things, consent rules etc will be on the Luir's board a couple RL days before the official start date.

Participants of the 2 competition RPTs might want to sign up ahead of time, by finding the coordinators IC.

[Barsook]

Fun time is near!

[drunkendwarf]

Fun time is near!

*squeals like a little girl*

[Barsook]

And at least it starts on Friday.  I don't know my work schedule for Sat.

[Feco]

*squeals like a little girl*

Your avatar made that perfect.

So god damned excited, btw.

[Yam]

The best part is I don't have to skip a Gogol Bordello concert for this.

[drunkendwarf]

Hah...after reading that and going back to look at my post...yes, yes it did. It made me chuckle.

[HavokBlue]

Text gypsies versus music gypsies. Who wins?

[Xeran Van Houten]

There is a trap set up for you...

[Seraphim]

A reminder to everyone looking to sign up for the first competition that I am offpeak. Sorry. I'm easy to catch just before peak time or on weekends, though.

[Seraphim]

This is approaching with swift steps!

[Saellyn]

Will there be a chicken?

[Potaje]

Can we get the exacting time, for large groups that are trying to organize going?

[Titania]

Rocky music, about to be showdown in the wild west music/sound, ultimate battle of ultimate destiny music !
Will this be the greatest Luir's Fest ever? Probably.

[Dakota]

The best part is I don't have to skip a Gogol Bordello concert for this.

heh i worked w/ Eugene Hutz on a film like 6 years ago. Running around through Prague for 4 months w/ him was insane. He's no different off stage than he is on stage. The real deal.

And when is this thing happening? I keep clear of Luirs so I'll need to know when to keep even clearer

[boog]

I hope to make ittt.

[Seraphim]

Can we get the exacting time, for large groups that are trying to organize going?

The first RPT starts at approximately 8 PM EST on friday the 29th of april, give or take a bit depending on weather or other IC issues. I would recommend arriving early, perhaps even late on thursday night. There should be quite some activity even before the official start, and some extra time would allow exploration of (insert cool stuff here) that was set up by staff specifically for the duration of the events.

[Seraphim]

Ahem, correction: I actually don't know if staff will have time to already set everything up on thursday. But still, arriving early is a good idea.

So: 8 PM EST!

Be there or be the guy who hears from everyone else how cool it was! 

[Potaje]

Bump

[boog]

Ack. If I do wind up going I am gonna be an hour or two late.

I blame work. For everything.

[Seraphim]

Sorry about the delay with the last gossip post in Luir's, I still don't know where exactly event objects will be set up and what will be included by staff (some of what had been planned might not be possible to do after all). I should have it up and ready to be read just before the first RPT, though.

[Seraphim]

The gossip post is now up - I apologize for the length of it.  Go check out the cool stuff staff set up for everyone!

See you all ingame in a few hours.

[Barsook]

...and I miss it. 

[Fathi]

Is there a chance one of the folks organising this could post a simplified schedule of events on the GDB?

I know this isn't actual Luirsfest but Olafson used to post little mini-schedules on the boards showing approximately what time events would take place, and that would be super helpful for planning purposes as I'm gonna have limited time to play and need to prioritise!

This!

Also, I think it would be nice to post here on the forums when the exotic dancing thing is over (and expected to be over), so that the players of the PCs who didn't go to see it know when to log in, if they don't want to wait around IC for a RL few hours.

[Erythil]

The second event of the day is anticipated to begin at 11 EST.

[Yam]

Kudos to everyone here, by the way.

[Tenua]

OOC schedule:
Friday, 29th of april

exotic dancing competition, approx. 8 PM EST.
Kuraci auction, approx.  11 PM EST.


Saturday, 30th of april

Muarki lottery auction, approx.  4 PM EST.
Kuraci combat tournament, approx.  6 or 7 PM EST.

[Erythil]

The next event will be starting shortly!

I posted the detailed times on the rumor boards in Tuluk, Alllanak, and Luirs weeks before the start. I didn't think to put them on here as well, sorry if the ingame information wasn't convenient or very accessible for everyone.

Everyone in Luirs, make sure to read the latest gossip post with event information!

[Lizzie]

I had to copy and paste the post on the tavern board to notepad, and then leave, then read the post, just so I could see what it said. The screen scroll was amazing! HUGE turnout, it's really awesome! I feel bad that I have to miss the auction though, I was really looking forward to it but it's just too late for me. Some great stuff up for bid though, some lucky folks will be showing it all off tomorrow I'm sure!

[Kismetic]

Fabulously done.  Kudos to the organizers and participants.

[Feco]

Damn, I must have misread the first few IC rounds of gossip... Thought it was Friday-Sunday.

At least I only missed half! 

[Bogre]

Very well run!

[Erythil]

Alas, technical difficulties will prevent my participation in day two.  I hope it goes well!

[boog]

Psh, weenie! <3

[Spice Spice Baby]

The tournament will be starting next IC dawn for those who haven't heard yet.

[drunkendwarf]

Fantasticly run. Kudos to the organizers for all the hard work. Much appreciated.

[MeTekillot]

RIGHT IN THE FACE

[bcw81]

Awesome run y'all.

[Potaje]

I'm just going to say.. you all kept me on 14 hrs.

[Bebop]

I'm just going to say.. you all kept me on 14 hrs.

But seriously, I've been on forever too.  Thank you guys for hosting/participating in one of the most epic RPTs I've attended in some time.   Really well run.

[a strange shadow]

Good times, good times. Big thanks to the organizers of all this.

I need to go detox now... I think I just had a triple overdose of crackageddon.

[Barzalene]

Awesome work.

[boog]

I'm just going to say.. you all kept me on 14 hrs.

I had to get up after 10. My ass was numb.

[TOOL]

Was quite fun.  Anxiously awaiting the next one 

[Is Friday]

The most annoying thing about fun events like this is that if you're not involved it's a ghost town wherever you are. :/

[Feco]

Was lots of fun!

Thanks for everyone who worked hard to put it together!

[jhunter]

It was a shit ton of fun.Thanks all!

[Spice Spice Baby]

To the folks who organised the parts I didn't work on: That was a lot more fun and less work than I thought it would be!

[Erythil]

And a lovely time was had by all.

[Malifaxis]

Wow.



Fucking wow.

[Yam]

I sat in an internet cafe for like 8 hours I HOPE YOU'RE ALL HAPPY I GOT WEIRD LOOKS WHENEVER I GIGGLED

[BleakOne]

Was uber awesome. Big thanks to the staff and players involved.

[Seraphim]

I'm sorry my clan couldn't be more visible for this. Technical issues and sudden RL surprises prevented us from being as involved and visible as I had planned. And I was sleeping a ton after running the first RPT from 2 to 5 AM my time for you guys! That totally messed my sleep schedule up. The grand finale also had not been planned to be too peak time for me to attend. But I guess the schedule move couldn't be helped.

But I'm glad everyone had fun. Next time, we're going to rock this some more instead of leaving most of the glory to -that other clan-. 

[Bogre]

I am studying for tests so I didn't get to be involved that much, but I really enjoyed watching you all and sitting enjoying the atmosphere.

[Kassindra]

A+++++ GR8 RPT. Will come again!

[Barzalene]

I was out most of the weekend spending money I don't have, but coming home and logging in after was awesome. And you guys kept me up way too late every day.

Good, good stuff.

[Taven]

I really enjoyed this. It was fun, engaging, and gave plenty of RP from discussing events to insulting members of the other clan/citystate/race/whatever-else-you-wanted-to-insult to just general good times. It was a major dose of Crackageddon. I need to go back to moderating myself and not play for so many hours in a day.

Also, the last event was pretty epic.

[Akaramu]

Could one of the organizers post a summary of the overall results in Luirs? For those who missed most of this because they couldn't play past 2 AM? 

[Lizzie]

Yeah it's a little odd, that such a HUGE festival, advertised ICly, many game-weeks before the event, has zero "rumors" floating anywhere to reflect some idea of what happened. Not even a single post in the Luir's tavern board.
