    Yep, it seems, from your log, like he was trying to get a DB, but I'll ask him, I'm pretty sure he'll be honest, or at least I can get his father to speak with him about it, I doubt he could lie to him outright ;D

     

    I'll let you guys know.

    Hi, Lumino here, GM of ALoA.

     

    First off, I want to say that I apologize for anything buttswife may have lost in this encounter, we will gladly make it up to you, within reason.

     

    Finnerlorn lives in Germany, thus his broken English, and may have been confused--still, the evidence is relatively strong against him, so I will be having a talk with him to determine what went on and what his punishment, if any, will be.

     

    Again, I apologize for any harm we caused, ALoA is not a guild of troublemakers, and I have known Finnerlorn, his father, robindell, and his brother, pking, to be of excellent character in the past. Finn can be a bit excitable and impatient, so I would chalk this incident up to something like that, but again I really have no idea.

     

    Let's not turn this into a flame war, please. In summary--sorry for what happened, please give me time to investigate, and we can discuss it.

     

    Thanks again :D

    I havent been to any of these so far, but I just want to say--awesome job. This looks like a LOT of fun, it's a really creative and interesting way to use arrows. It's really testing reflexes more than anything, which is cool!

     

    Hopefully Ill make it to one sometime :)

    Keep up the good work spleen

    Sorry to resurface an old thread...but I think this is a FANTASTIC idea. I can't tell you how many times I've wished this was possible and daydreamed about all the cool things you could do with it...writing letters would be GREAT, making treasure hunts with real clues in hyperbags would be cool, handing out little newspaper type leaflets or dropping them all over a map as advertisements, the possibilities go on and on.

     

    I know that the game devs have tons of things to work on. But I seriously think this should be made a priority. It is so worth it. Of course, I'm not sure what the technical costs are...

     

    I'm not sure about the signature thing, then you can't write anonymous notes :D But maybe, each note could have an "ID" or something, a number you can tell a mod so they can lookup the author. Of course, that means all notes must be cached in a database, which is no good...perhaps notes expire after 2 weeks, and are removed from the database. The ink "wears off" the paper or something. But then, it wouldn't be possible to leave a note for someone to find in a few years :)

     

    Ok, either way. I think it's a great idea and should be seriously considered. I'd love to see it in game.

    So, it didn't go perfectly. The play and fireworks got screwed up. But I had SO much fun!

     

    We had 350 guests. WOW. Thats incredible. Our goal was 250--you guys blew it through the roof and made this the biggest event in EL, size-wise, ever!

     

    We had over 1 million gc of prizes, which was great!

     

    The lottery pot hit 600k :/ And the winners were picked.

     

    Contact someone on the Board if you still need prizes.

     

    We will draw for doorprizes and post the results tomorrow.

     

    Post your pics/comments here!

    GUYS! I just got a very threatening message from Selain! Apparently, he is in a foul mood and he is angry at us for celebrating the party tomorrow. He told me to cancel the event or he would ruin it! We can't do that, but since he is the god of summoning, we can expect that he might attack the castle during the event; bring your weapons/armor to the event just in case! For those who don't like to fight, we will construct a safe area to keep you safe. If you do like to fight though, prepare to protect those who don't!

     

    Also...

     

    So we decided on multible winners?

     

    That all depends. Check here: http://el-ces.110mb.com/lottery.html

    Also, expect a LOT of smaller events not mentioned above to occur, in addition to the Epic Challenge that will be for the prize of the full black dragon armor.

     

    On that note, with the donation of this armor, our prize fund for the event now totals OVER 1 MILLION GC! So there's bound to be something in it for you if you come.

     

    Plus, it will be a LOT of fun, with something for everyone :)

     

    Tell all your friends!

     

    Buy lottery tickets!

     

    Take screenies!

     

    See you there :hug:

    I'll start advertising it, I would donate more but, um, cant even afford pants at the moment :o

     

    but still, let me know if something needs help with! I'm getting bored of leveling engineering :P

     

    ~kGn

    Cool :P See you there :(

    I will prolly miss it :( saturday I have my b'day party. Have fun guys :)

    Sorry you'll be missing it...maybe next year :( Oh, but you can still buy raffle tickets :P

    Yes, I meant at a random time.

     

    Could be that, but no other application to my knowledge was doing that, and as Cyprom says, when it does happen EL just minimizes, never resizes. Not really an issue, just thought I'd put it out there...

    We can discuss it, Valcaz, but I dont want to inconvenience you, youre already doing us an enormous favor.

     

    Remember, everyone, tomorrow is EL's real birthday, and Friday is Super Spam Day--tell EVERYONE you know about the event, advertise in local, etc :P

     

    Looking forward to the event...

     

    And, it will be at 6 PM GMT, probably. 90% chance of this, I doubt it will change.

    I was just playing EL normally, when this server message appeared suddenly on the log:

    Window size adjusted to 990x720

    And then my window size adjusted. No clue why this happened, didn't even have options open, haven't tinkered with my resolution settings, or any settings for that matter, in a while.

     

    Thoughts?

     

    Thanks,

    Lum

    By the way, we are still seeking donations! I know it sounds needy but anything helps--with such a huge event it is difficult to find enough prizes for all the contests, and I would hate to have prize-less stuff.

     

    Anyway, even GC helps :)

     

    I'm psyched, hope all of you are, and PLEASE spread the word! Tell all your friends, guildies, allies, and feel free to advertise in local :icon13: No spam of course :)

    Yeah, as Enly said, we have a lot of people to please...so it's hard.

     

    But, as she also alluded to, this will be a LONG event, probably 3-4 hours, and packed with fun activities, so no matter how long you can come for, you are sure to have a blast. And of course, if you can make the end for the closing fireworks, it will be well worth your time.

    As far as the lottery, we had a discussion on this, but since we only have the gala lottery stats to go off of, it's difficult to say what exactly will happen etc.

     

    There will be one pot this time around. Comparing stats from this event and last time's we will reach a decision as to whether to do two categories next time, one for newbies, one for advanced players. But for now, just one pot, sorry :)

     

    We can still use PLENTY of help at the event so please contact us if you want to. But, there is not a ton for volunteers to do right now--at the actual event is a different story.

     

    Still, if you're anxious to help, we'd love donations of any kind :) BTW--any donations of GC anyone makes, we will tell you EXACTLY how we spent the money. This is not scheme or anything, it is completely legitimate. Also, it is non-profit. Any proceeds go back into the organization for future events, or into prize pools.

     

    And Ferny--that email from Gossip sounds exciting...wonder what it could be... :P:P

     

    Can't wait for the big day!! See you all there!!

    Well this has drifted :icon13:

     

    I think that it doesn't make sense for the clothes to be weightless, kinda unfair--after all they're worth a lot of money and then it's unfair that people can carry expensive goods with no EMU price, plus bots will be able to do so, and so on, plus its unrealistic to make them weightless.

     

    BUT. I do wish there was another way to provide incentive to wear clothes around EL besides just showing off. Unless that ends up being worth it. :hiya: Perhaps some cold protection like someone mentioned earlier, or maybe wearing dark clothes makes it harder to see you at night, or maybe the clothes can have some other mostly unimportant effect.

    It's an interesting thought.

     

    Personally, I think that if you had extra stuff in inv when the day ends, either:

    A] Easy to implement/Banal Method - As people mentioned you just cant add new stuff but you can drop/store, cant add new stuff until you're below the amount possible. This requires no coding from the programmers either, it's already done.

    B] Hard to implement/Interesting Method - The more interesting approach--think about it, what would REALLY happen if there was some random zero gravity, you're carrying things around that are twice as heavy as you can normally manage, and the gravity suddenly returns. ouch :icon13: Perhaps health loss and dropping of items. Again, harder to code.

     

    Personally I'm fine with either approach.

     

    The day does seem interesting though.
