The Winter Gala hosted by the American Legion and the Cape

We just did lvl 1's, I didn't have any other toons othe than on virtue

<announcment> We are going to hold on waiting for the servers to come back up. If they don't we will make a decision about when we will pick things back up tomorrow. We will get to all the lovely things we had planned.

it says the server is up, but is anyone else having trouble logging back on anyways? i was in for like 2 seconds and got map served.

I get kicked back to the log in whenever I try. That help or just make you not feel alone?

well, it helps to know that someone is probably as frustrated as me. hahahha.

WTH IS GOING ON?!?!?!? :[

The server crashed. DUH!

Protip: Server Status Page can keep you updated

well i had a lot of fun but its nearin midnight here and i'm constantly yawning. i'm kind of hoping the servers stay down so that it's continued tomorrow haha. but if not, i hope you all have fun and i give all my thanks to the people who did this. had to be a lot of work, so gratz on a job well done!

Alright this is what we are going to do. Tomorrow Sunday Dec. 20th, we will open the AE challenge back up from 5-10pm est for prizes. At 7pm EST we will restart the Winter Gala and run until we finish. We will start back up with the Team Concept CC and continuing through our planned schedule. Thank you all for your patience and support! Thanks to the Cape and all the great members of the Legion and our Coalition!

Glad to hear that the Gala will return again tomorrow. I'll try to make it, but since it's on a Sunday there might not be that big of a chance.

The Winter Gala is slated to start at 7pm, ET, provided the server is up and running. The Cape will be broadcasting its regular shows. Feel free to tune in and travel to some other servers! With the free character transfers, go make something you like and bring it to Virtue when it's back up!

*gives everyone big squishy boobie hugz™!!!*

Ha, the above thing made me laugh.

First off. The first part of the party was indeed AWESOME!!! Thank you SO much to the American Legion for putting on this shindig.

Second off. Hats off to the staff and crew of The Cape. Despite technical difficulties beyond their control they kept the show rolling *insert "the show must go on" music here*

Once again The Cape proves its professionalism and dedication to not only the game and listeners, but to their station. You mite think, "so what? its what there supposed to do!" Not really. Since its a player based & run station, there is really no obligation for them to do anything really. Bottom line meaning, they don't get paid for what they do. They just do it, and again in face of the uncertainty of the server status they kept broadcasting. Just as professional site would do. In my opinion, this says a lot.

Before anyone thinks I need to get the brown stuff off my nose. Pfft.. w/e. I am a Detra.

In some ways, I think its kinda a good thing this happen, so now we get 2 days of the event, and for some reason. I have no magic power to look into the future, but I don't think this is going to be last of the 2 day events. Indeed this mite be the prologue of things to come.
I did find at some points during the evening before the crash a little hard to keep up with all that was going. Even being on 2 accounts, and 2 different Pockets D's seems like there was sooo much going, events running over events. IDK, seem like more time would be nice. I wanna DO IT ALL!!!

Events like this & the cape is what keeps me coming back day after day, hours after countless hours. I really don't play the game much anymore. Oh sure I occasionally run the mission here and there, work the market some. But its event like this the keep me here. I appreciate everything that everyone does to make these things go. Having participated in a small event back in the summer, I know there is a lot of work that goes into it. I couldn't imagine rigging something like this. Hats off to you all!!

Again great job all around!!!

Sorry I couldn't join you guys for the Sunday succession of the Gala.
I had real life stuff to do, but I'm sure it was fun.

Hello everyone,

My name is American Legion, leader of the American Legion family of supergroups on the Virtue server. I am sure I have crossed paths with many of you ingame. You do not find me often on these forums because, frankly, the textual jousting that is common place on forums in general is not my usual idea of a good time.

I want to take this opportunity to send out some public thank you's for everyone who attended and assisted with this event. We had some curve balls thrown at us with the Virtue server crash of 2009 but all in all the event was well attended and I would like to think everyone that did attend had a great time. We were able to give out billions in prizes, have multiple contests and challenges, some great socializing, and a lot of other fun things. Any time you can pull that off I think its well worth the work and effort that goes into these type of events.

Never ending thanks and praise goes to The Cape Radio; DJ Angel, Agent Crypto, Shecky, Pheonyx, One Hit Wonder, Sultry Siren, and all the other DJ's who donated time, energy and their talents as auctionable items. The Cape Radio staff consists of quality individuals who everyday bring a little music and entertainment into our gaming lives and ask for nothing in return. Every player on Virtue benefits from their talents and presence; and we do not thank them enough.

To my Legionnaires: Every time I ask you guys to do something crazy you consistently pull it off. I know I will forget someone as I begin this list but you all know you have my undying gratitude and respect. Big thanks goes to Mecha-Stripe, American Wonder, American Allstar, Shadow Kyo, Shadowstryke, Justice Maiden, Exemplar of Justice, Maxsun, and everyone else who contributed. I know I am leaving some of you out but its 0130 here and I ain't as good as I once was. Little country music humor there for Allstar.

And of course thanks to everyone who attended. A party cannot be successful if it does not have party goers there to participate in the contests, trivia, and auctions as well as the general atmosphere of making it a party! Big thanks to my coalition partners who showed up in a big way as usual; especially Hero Dawn and The Justice Girls.

Lastly, a word to those of you who may not have appreciated the Winter Gala. I will not repeat the sentiments of the messages that made their way to me this weekend because that is beneath me. This event was open to all: Roleplayers, Non-roleplayers, catgirls and catboys, demons, heroes, villains, even Detra. For those of you that expressed a disdain for the event without even having the courtesy of showing up and giving us a chance; you have only hurt yourself. You have deprived yourself the opportunity of getting together with your fellow players, socializing and enjoying yourselves on this our last weekend before Christmas. You may have met someone new, or re-connected with someone you used to know, and you might just maybe have had a nice time. That having been said, neither I or my Legion hold grudges. I hope we can work together in the future and I will see you at the next event.

Good night Virtue, till we meet again.

American Legion

Great event glad I attended .
