Excellent. After speaking with Xan at great length, I may well be providing the music.
I will be there, but only because you came to mine. Mine was a little more off the cuff I think tho [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Providing i can get back from london in time - count me in
Reporting For Duty Sweetheart!
Right, after a little test performed earlier on in the day, and pending permission from certain higher-ups, I will be performing a set on Evo Radio for the duration of the party.
The general theme will be as similar parties I've hosting in the past, at University, which went by the name "The Big Cheese". So, expect some old-school classics to be played, as well as some newer hits. Whilst I -will- be taking requests throughout, I'll be saving a lot of the newer hits for the end, so if you request any thrash metal, Garage, hardcore, etc, depending on when you request it, you may be in for a long wait.
Cool I'm coming and I will bring a few friends if that is Ok????
When do the tickets for the party go on sale hehehe and how much is the entry fee???
DD
Im in..No doubt no question, no pause, no hesitation, no thought, no wait, no no no no IIIIIIIIIIIN!

If you need any help with anything FG dont hesitate to ask [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I think for now, Hawk, I'm all set, cheers. Since Pocket D can be reached through Kings Row, it'll be easy for newer players to get there. I'm thinking about holding a contest or two, since I've heard some things about how amazing the old Dance Contests used to be. I have a few million spare inf on various characters I'll be giving away as prizes. I have sent an e-mail off to Bridger, asking if NC Soft is willing to give Forum Titles to the winners of the contests (probably dance and best costume) but since he's on holiday until later on in the week, I won't hear anything about it for a good long while, so, for the time being, the forum title thing will not be happening. I only mention it now as a possibility, not as a guarantee. Whilst I'd like to see it happen, Bridger might not get around to reading the e-mail for a while (since he's probably going to get back and see his inbox bogged down) and may not actually read it, or reply to it, until after the party - in which case, it might have to be put off until the next one (assuming there's enough interest in the first one).
One thing which you can do for me...one thing which everyone who's coming can do for me, as well as yourselves, is to tell people about it. I don't just mean leaving a PuG at 7:55 on the 19th, and saying "I'm off to a sweet party with live music and Inf to give away"...I mean real, word of mouth, "Hey, guess what's happening next Saturday?" type of stuff. Naturally, I'd hate to see people sending Broadcasts about it, but, Durin gave me the perfect example a few posts up. He asked if it was okay to bring some friends.
Bring everyone on your Friends List! Tell them to bring everyone on their Friend Lists! And tell your friends to tell them to bring everyone on their Friends List.
I'm holding this for a couple of reasons:
1) I haven't hosted a party in ages, and I love to do it. Seriously, when someone comes up to me and says "Hey, man, great party", I love that stuff. It makes it all worthwhile.
2) It's a chance for people to, as I've said, meet other people from the forums in-game.
3) This is the type of thing that Pocket D is there for. People complain that it's under-utilised...do something about it! We're a community. It's time we acted like one.
4) I've noticed a few things recently. A new Forum poster made a thread about how cool it was to see me in-game. That was really touching, and it's something I feel whenever someone comes up to me in-game and says "Hey, you're the Ask A Ben guy!" or "I loved Paragon City, it was great, it's on my MP3 player". However, and I'm sure Weasel, Stasis, Duckdee, and anyone else would agree with me on this part...we're people. We're not celebrities, we just happen to post on the forums a lot. I want to demystify the "Cult" of the Forumites. I also (and this is an important part) want more people, who don't use the forums, to turn around and say, "Wow, this was organised on the forums? Damn, I better register myself on there and read every day to see what else I'm missing out on!"
This is a party by a Forumite, for all people who use the forums, and, especially, those who don't. But the people who don't know about the forums, or don't read them, won't find out unless everyone spreads the word. Even if you only tell one person who isn't on the forums, that's one more person we can bring into the community, and that makes it all worthwhile.
I'll be there throwing some shapes, monopolising the rum, and trying to avoid blindfaith catching me trying me luck with the fair ladies of Paragon [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I'll also join as many PuGs as possible between now and hype it up. I may even treat you all to a RPS costumed Cap [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I have posted on the MoX forum and have told a few peeps already you have my support 100%. this will be something to remember I thinks!!!
We will bring the peanuts
DD
What? Huh? I like to think of myself as some sorta Celeb? Naawww I joke...now to bed

Dunno about you guys but I'm mildly concerned. [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
It all sounds good FG... although I'm sure the real reason you are holding it is because you thought my party was so cool [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Great idea - I'll be there with bows on (actual bows may not apply) - now to get Myopic Aardvark up to at least cape level so I don't just look like I've had my arm chewed off by a mutant aardvark..... (if you're curious read the back story on the day of the party... and get some help please [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

8PM may be kind of early for me but if the party is still swinging later I'll try to come by. I've told my SG buddies about it though so hopefully some of them will drop in.
Now all I need to decide is - cossie of tux? [img]/uk/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Great idea FG, i'll try to swing by quite early if i get chance.
Even if i can't, i PuG quite a lot so i'll spread the word.

Will there be jelly and ice-cream?
Hey guys. After laughing at the Defiant party tonight, I decided to hold my own.
And, also, have a party.
So, come to Pocket D on Saturday the 19th, 8pm BST, and meet your fellow forumites. I know a lot of people in-game haven't seen the in-game creations of thier Forumite friends, so this is a chance to say hello and gab the night away!
