Ideas for Somerset's Third Anniversary party

Can anyone spare sometime to bounce ideas around for the ball and the characters?

Pleeeeaaaassssseeeeeee.

Looking at the games, I thought both fishing games were good, but I liked the second one the best, I think.

And the King of the Hill game was OK once I realised how to actually aim and shoot! Well, perhaps I should have read the instructions first...but never mind!

For the letter, yours was fine I think. I'd make a couple of ever-so small changes but that's just because I was fiddling.

Dear Somerset Citizens

Your Mayor, the County Council and the Somerset Get Active Committee would like to invite you to celebrate the third anniversary of Somerset County.

We proudly present a week of competitions and role play games in Forum one, Somerset Inn, running from the 21st October to the 28th October. This is your chance to have some fun, meet new people and take home some great prizes (in game cash prizes to be won).

Join us to defend Bristol Castle, fish up a great catch in the town of Gloucester or show your writing skills with the story competition.

And no celebration is truly complete without the role play celebration ball. Don't or can't dance? Not to worry, this is a ball with a difference, a great chance to grow your role play skills.

If you need some help with the forum or with role play in general please feel free to contact foreverbones, via in game mail - or ask your town mentor.

We hope to see you there.

For the main event poster, again, your wording seemed fine if they can get it on to the design. Again, I've fiddled a bit.

Ending with a role play celebration ball (with a difference) on 28 October, the official date of Somerset’s anniversary

For the ball, possible characters might be:


Jewel thief - wants to steal the ladies' jewellery or men's pocket-watches or cuff-links
Femme Fatale - wants to steal a husband (or two)
Assassin - being paid to murder....somebody!
Dirty, uncouth ruffian - decides to pursue one of the women
Blackmailed politician - wants to eliminate his blackmailer, but without his secret coming out
Cuckolded husband - out to get revenge on his rival
Faithless wife - bored with husband, wants to have an affair
Roue - playboy who wants to bed all the young women
Don Juan type - just wants to bed any and all the women
(A particular challenge for these last three, not to fall foul of forum rules!)
A young innocent girl that has run away from home and wants to "experience life"


Wording for a poster could be:

Somerset 3rd Anniversary
Masked Ball

28 October 1457

Somerset Inn, Forum One

Join us for a Masked Ball with a difference!

Role play a character and mission that we choose for you,
or sit back and have fun working out who is really who.

Nice story backline. So found your roles?

Yeah kind of, I have 11 roles with missions now. Hopefully its enough. Thanks Revan for your help

Thanks for all your help Patan We have similar ideas when it comes to the characters.

I have sent the information to Signature creations. Lady Gina is giving it a go but she is busy rl so we most likely will not see a poster til late next week. She's working hard though, spent time looking for images of knives that she can work with.

No problem, Bones ... even if we we have to wait a bit for the poster, it will be okay. We don't want to have it be too long from when the first announcement is out about this birthday bash so the citizens don't lose interest or steam too fast.

I will be back in Somerset at reset and will start ball sign ups then.

Elizabeth Gold has offered to role play the making of the cake for the participation thread, which we will start once I get back. So if you have flour or other products such as wood for the oven, please mail her to see if she needs your help with the role play.

Oh and on a different note (which is a huge worry) the bug has told me that we may not be allowed to post game links (to online games) on the forum. He's checking into it. Jah if we are not.... I see game links all over Somerset forums so it cannot be true.

Edit: The bug is happy with game links

Just checking in to see what if anything needs to be done next ? As always, let me/us know what help you need Bones

Yeah I do.

I need someone to look over the role play threads for me, make sure I have not missed anything out. Is it o.k. if I send them to you?

I also need to think up more characters for the ball but I will do that, hopefully Revan will be able to look over the newer characters for me.

Oh and if anyone can help Elizabeth out with the cake making rp, that would be fantastic.

oooo Llyres can you ask a priest if they could read a blessing or something for the celebrations?

Absolutely..send me what you'd like. A priest? Shall I start with our town priests or see if the Bishop Apocas will come for this? (Well it's Apocas for most of our towns and Masked1 for GC based on how the diocese divided..so..i guess either could do...any preference?

Fantastic thanks Llyres, you should have mail soon

No preference, just whoever would like to do it.

Just if you could ask them to intitle it 'Somerset Anniversary ~ Priest's Blessing' Or something to that tune....and to post it on the 21 October

Bones I answered you back on nearly all of the messages that you sent to me ... sorry I get flooded with mail at times I answered everything except for the RP Ball thread ... my brain is dead at this point.

Everything else looked great ... and ... I think I need to get the mayors to send out those mass mails to their residents! *gets to work and wonders when her vacation will be ... *

Thanks Revan.

Llyres, if you could still send me what you think of the threads especially the ball ones when you read them. Thanks in advance.

Llyres please note a change to the greasy pig thread - will be 6 hours not one.

Llyres, did you have any luck with finding a priest for an opening blessing?

Tomorrow is the Day - well after reset tomorrow anyway I suppose (confusing for me given that I am well ahead of almost everyone in terms of date).

Anyway I expect to see you all there

Llyres????? Anyword on the priest.... never mind I will mail you ingame

BW mayor has notified me that she cannot mass mail due to already using the mass mail function ... so ... *runs off to mass mail BW*

aawwwww Jah, thanks for doing that Revan. If you cannot get through them all, let me know and I will do the rest once I can get back onto RK. Still in reset

It's done. Only took about 50 minutes, wasn't that bad. Yeah reset is being a witch with a b today ...

Yay thanks Revan you are awsome and you are totally right about reset

Hello ladies,

ahh I am so busy today. lol

Just finishing the cake so it will be stick infoum soon.

Yay, thanks so much Elizabeth. Yummy cake

Thank you Elizabeth!

Update on the mails ... I have annoyed the lovely PG, she is able to mail Bath with the mayor's message, and I have annoyed my townsfolk by mass mailing them myself.

I know Barnaby was going to add it to the mass mail, but what of Gloucester? Do you need me to mail them?

I just got word from Tris in GC that Darien already did it ... I think we're covered!

(ever since I joined this forum I have wanted to use that )

Yay and we are all go

Go? Go where? :S



What am I supposed to do?
