[PROJECT] Event proposal

I took the liberty of creating a new thread for the project for the new dance, ball or RP event.....

Lady Marshmellow, Rebo and Lady Clasp are the ones responsible for this particular project...All are wellcomed to input....

perhaps this should be moved to the private room, as not to ruin the surprise...

indeed it should, Marshy.

Oops sorry guys.....have done so now

Woo Hoo!

Clasp I think we should start with the points you wrote in that pm to me (which I would write, but that would violate the rules )

-Rebo

Ok, here's the list of things that Rebo and I created that we need to get done in order to have a dance. They aren't really listed in any sort of priority, just because they all need to be accomplished =) But picking a date for the dance first would be good. Oh, and getting a campaign to advertise it to England.

>Date for Dance
>Place of Dance
>Invitations
>Dress Code
>Music
>Ambience
>Master of Ceremonies
>Special Events
>Miscellaneous

Just start posting ideas under each category. We're brainstorming right now, so post any and all random ideas you have, no matter how they sound when you write them =) Want cake to be dropped from the roof onto unsuspecting dancers? We'll discuss it =)

As for a date, I've got the perfect one. Somerset's first birthday is coming up on October 28! Let's hold it on or right around then.

I think formal dress should be recommended, but not required, otherwise we would be ostracizing our vagrants and farmers (level 0 and 1).

We should have different types of music, and most definetly need some Celtic flare so we can have a good ol' jig.

I think we should hold the dance in Bristol, our capitol. Not only would it bring people to the town, but it also seems appropriate to hold our birthday celebration in our capitol.

More to come!

I think that's a fantastic idea..indeed it would be a very fitting event.....I would like to clarify a few points though do you intend to RP it or do you intend to do an ig thing in a tavern...If ig yo must consider the danger of traveling these days....

>Place of Dance

I would recomend doing it in the subforum provided for here in these forums...but publicising it so it's a big event perhaps even inviting people all around the kingdom to RP in that paricular thread...

Invitations:
Much of the Committee is pretty new, this is probably our first time organizing a dance. I propose that the dance be extended throughout Somerset, but that should be all. It it is a great success, we can try our hand at more large-scale events.

Mentor?:
I believe that many players will probably role-play out an inability to dance. I propose that a mentor teaches these players to dance at the last minute.

Date for Dance:
I feel that Rebo has an excellent suggestion on the date of the dance. Kudos to you Rebo . If we were to take it, the schedule would be a little tight and rushed, but it would be worth the work.

Location:
I feel that the setting of the dance should be at a more casual place so as to welcome newer players. My point is, say, organize it in an "open field near my house" instead of "in the great ballroom of the Count of Somerset.

That's all that my limited brain can think of for now. I'll give it a workout later.

6 days left......get cracking guys

DOn't have time today but i'll try and help out tommorrow

Date:
It is set.

Location:
Quick, someone get an idea. I don't want anyone to take the trouble to travel for the sake of role-play. Therefore, I propose that the whole Somerset be informed of this. Invitations to all towns, Lethion?

Invitations
As I said: all towns. Quick! Tight schedule! Lethion, assign this duty to me, I need to socialize more in the other towns of Somerset.

Dress code:
Casual. Whether it's rags or custom coats made for you, you're free to wear it.

Music:
I know nothing about music in the renaissance age, someone else do this.

Ambience:
Uhhh...? This should have come out naturally from all my suggestions?

Master of Ceremonies:
Not many of you are left in Bath now due to the war. Rebo, you take it? Or the new member Acteon?

Special events:
We force the mayors into attending, then we transform them into the town drunks.

Misc:
Help.....~~~

I can say for one that it would be impossible for me to travel in game to bath or any somerset city.....In fact it would be silly for a lot of people in the SAS to do so....

I must maintain that this should be a pure RP, even to start off with then we can progress to ones that take place in game....


Events within...

1. Dances

2. Speeches

3. Games (pin the tale on the beast of burden)

4. .....



As I said: all towns. Quick! Tight schedule! Lethion, assign this duty to me, I need to socialize more in the other towns of Somerset.

lol....there'll never be anothe guy like you.....lol....I guess I don't have much choice now do I
Good luck mate.....big task though...and If you stuff up...........

....I think we should get some people invoved with Somerset in past and present to give speeches on the way somerset has developed....




BUT THE MAIN ISSUE


should we do it on these forums or the ones in the main forums.....I'd personaly say to do it on the main forums in somerset inn


Announcement goin out shortly there...aswell

Definitely in the main forums.

Making the invitation cards now. I need a reply within 24 hours of this post. Anyone who has Adobe Photoshop here and actually knows how to use it, I would like a digitally edited image related to this event. If it doesn't come soon enough, forget it: I'll just quote. It'll look pretty neat like that anyway.

Lethion, I need a name for this event. Somerset's Birthday Party? Mass Dance of Somerset? I need the whole committee to get cracking within 24 hours.

-1st Anniversary of Somerset-

will be the main event...then we will have the

-Somerset Anniversary dance- which we will conduct here (within 1 week)

-Somerset Aniversary Fiesta- (a week long rp event in the main forums)


...ok adobe...I don't have but hopefully someone else does....

The event's name is noted.

I do not have adobe, but a good way to contact all citizens of Somerset is to write a letter and give it to each mayor to send out through mayor mail. That would get everyone in Somerset involved, and perhaps increase activity in the forum. Until then, we should have a post in the main forum that is preparing for the dance, so people coming to it have some place to go.

I'll can draft the letter if Redskin_core wants to send it to each mayor to send out.

-Anna Marie Clasp

HAve done so...and That is fantastic.....your help is greatly apreciated...please contact RS directly for the drafting of the invitations....


Thankyou all

PERFECT! I was afraid I would mess up.

By tonight (Wednesday, 24th of October, 1455), I will have an letter drafted and posted on this forum. After that, I will post the letter in the main forum as an open invitation to the dance. Then, I will create the dance post, and we shall have great happiness and joy over all of Somerset =)

Thank you my Lady, very much !!

oops, haven't been here for a few days

Anyhoo, I have photo shop, so if it's still needed I can whip something up.

Also in the RP guild they have a few links and guides for medieval dances, so I'll fish those up soonish (as soon as I've organized a job interview :S )
