Ideas for a Social Event

Post by Blackferne » Mon Mar 19, 2012 3:38 pm

So on Friday Blue Tongued Devil (of Archaic) hopped on our vent to congrat the new initiates and see if Alvis would like to come out and play sometime.

He said that he'd like to see if Alvis was interested in a social event (not PVP, just something to do) and we tossed a few ideas around. One was a picnic/balloon ride on Tat.

Something that popped in my head this morning was a non-healer companion fight. IE a series of Duels with your companion of choice (can't be a healer) in a fight to the defeat.

I'd like to try and get something together for next week sometime (not raid nights obviously)

Anyone have any other ideas of activities?

A scavenger hunt for gray loot. The reason I say gray is because you won't be able to win by being the first to get to the GTN and searching it.

Pick a few gray items that drop off random mobs from different planets, organize multiple teams, each team could be no bigger than a single group, and a the set time the list is given out and teams are off to the races. Winning team is the first one back to the hunt master for their side and trades that person at least 1 of each item.
They say when you go on a quest for vengence to dig two graves. They underestimate me.

It was actually Furiel's idea, but I'll be happy to take credit.

Wait, you two aren't the same person?

I was convinced all the Cardinals were linked like some sort of hive mind...

On a cereal note.
I do not mind leading a datacron crawl or two. I have almost all of them up to Alderaan.

I'll try and set up something for next Friday. Either the scavenger hunt or a datacron crawl. I'll post a signup with times early next week.

Evenin you drunken fools! How goes it on the "goodie goodie" side of life??

All of the above ideas sound great. We would definitely like to get some things going community wise. Not just for our guilds, but for the server community as well.

I don't know how the Republic side is, but we have seen a drop in folks over on the Empire side in general. I think this would be a great idea not only for our guilds, but for the server community as well. I think the scavenger hunt thing could be a "community" game that could get a lot of involvement, something that could be advertised ahead of time on the fleets. But that's just an idea.

Joun and I talked about the companion fights, that's something that could be absolutely hilarious.
