Holloween GatheringFollow

Ello folks. It's almost Holloween, and I'm tired of the holiday events getting lagged and greed taking over the vendors. I'm tired of Squenix doing hack rehashes of stuff done in the past. So, I've decided to do something of my own. (Well, not really. I took the idea from Byaina's christmas some time ago. Props to her for it.)

I'm trying to organize one of my own. At first, it started out as a LS thing for my group, HipNat. Then, I figured I'd get other linkshells in from [link=www.bismarckcommunity.com]The Bismarck Community[/link]. Looking over the member list there, I realized that I wouldn't see some of the famous people on here. ;-P So, wanting some fun, friends, and autographs, I'm posting about it here. I'm going to ask a few people I know to make candy and fireworks, which I'll distribute at the gathering. If ya want to bring some of your own, cool. I'll have some to share with everyone.

So, the details are:
When: Friday, 6pm Eastern standard time.
Where: Ru'Lude Gardens in Jeuno
Who: Mortimer of Doomspeakers LS, me, our linkshells, and hopefully everyone reading this.
Why: Read above about the food, fun, and autographs. ;-P Also, I figure that since I'm a compulsive crafter, I could get advice from fellow crafters on non-smithing stuff.

Hope to see you there.

This is badass and I give it my seal of approval. I'll see if I can swing by, but I don't get off work until 8 PM EST. If the party's still rolling by then you bet your *** I'll be there.

Heh This should work out to be fun but more like good office party fun as opposed to Drunken crazy party fun. But I like both types of fun ^^

I would also like to add that my LS will be ending the Night with a lvl 1 nekid race from Jeuno to Windurst with a 50k prize going to the winner unless it's me then second place gets the prize ^^

Any of the people who show up to this little shin dig may of course participate in the race after for the prize ^^

Happy Halloween

Happy Samhain ~ Blessed be ^^

EDIT:
:Race Rules:
The Race will begin in Port Jeuno and will end in Windurst Woods at the central tree.

At no time durring the race may you use Sneak Oils or Prism Powders or any other means of avoiding aggro (even cast from outside help) other than superior piloting skills.

You may train mobs on each other and create as much chaos among the rest of the racers as you can in order to win.

You may not leave the the race path of Port Jeuno >> Saurumonge Champaign >> Tahrongi Canyon >> West Sarutabaruta >> Windurst Woods. However you may use any path you wish to cross said zones.

If you do not have a lvl 1 job sorry make a mule lol

Whoo-hoo! A seal of approval. /grin. I'll be on and around Jeuno, so feel free to stop by and give me an autograph.

Are all items forbidden? How about a Pamama Au Lait or Scroll of Instant Reraise? They don't help you avoid aggro, but they help you recover from it.

Khazam to Norg is near to impossible. My old LS a long time ago did that one and just think of all the gobs in the tunnels...although some of the screen shots were worth it.

HN did a Jeuno to Upper Delkfutts Tower one day and that was a blast. I believe it was Chrissytaru that made it all the way to the top.

And to address a previous post...typically no items at all are allowed and everyone uses their two hour before the race...so no Perfect Dodge or Invincible :p If you die, you start over.

Merodi, of course you can. I'd be disappointed if you didn't. ^^

Ok szandor, got your cash Smiley: grin

I can make the following:

Cracker
Twinkle Shower
Little Comet
Kongou Inaho
Popstar
Konron Hassen
Brilliant Snow

Some of these have subskills that aren't listed however, Brilliant Snow seems to have a leathercraft sub skill that I might not have.

Obviously the lower level ones I could HQ more of, let me know what you would like and I'll try to make them. I have a stack of firesand and some bast parchment in my mog already, I'll try to give you a good value for your money.

Edit:

After reading a bit more I would suggest these because they don't require a subskill (that I know of):
Cracker
Twinkle Shower
Little Comet
Popstar

Go for whatever you think is best. I'd like a bit of diversity, but whatever you want to make is cool with me.

Ok now let's talk quantity.

I'm pretty sure I can get HQ's on the Crackers and Twinkle showers. I was planning on making a stack of each of those first (99 in a stack). Then trying to make a stack of each of the others (Little Comets and Popstars), then whatever's left of materials would be used to make one synth of each kind until I run out of firesand.

Well actually the point of the race is not to be challenging it to have umm... well it's this stuff you guys used to have when you first started playing... dern it what was that called again?... Oh man just got to think some more... OH YEAH! it was called FUN! {Do you need it?} {Yes Please}

The race is really meant to simulate being drunk and silly. If you find such a "Challenge" as having simple fun with people to be beneath you TseTsuo by all means do not show up. To the rest of you who still remember what fun is please come and enjoy HipNat and Doomie hospitality.

I would like to add all screen shots from the Party and Race will be Posted on BizCom not this site.

http//:www.bismarckcommunity.com

To Dryus no items will be permitted at all (not that there will be people watching you. Honor system and all) and yes that is a great idea about the two hours being used at the start before the Zone out into Sarumonge.

Just a note: I have a stash of Mochi I'll bring, for people to use as costumes if they wish. I'm afraid I don't have any Rice Cakes from teh girl's festival left, so if someone could scrounge up a bunch, I personally think that would be awesome ^^

Just my 2 cents ^^

Hey Mort...for the record, I dont think TseTsuo was arguing or saying that he doesnt want to have fun. We all know this is going to be fun. :p

I agree with him that some of the routes you mentioned are a little too easy. Besides, if you want to have fun...then read the chat logs as a lvl 1 character is 1 shotted near the end of the race. I laughed harder the last time I did one of these than I ever have.

Personally I think San d'Oria - Beaucidine Glacier would be funny as hell. Getting through that door...OMG...would that take some timing and skill.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to come by. :( I've been very sick the last few days and I conked out at my desk about 20 minutes after logging into FFXI. I hope everyone had a good time!
