Festivus 2011!

The Winter Lord may be roaming our streets, obsessing over snow and ice,

Lady Winter may be up to plots not so nice,

The Freedom Phalanx may be hanging seven stockings with care,

Lord Recluse again will be giving Ghost Widow that egg-noggy stare,

The heroes continue to pound Rikti and Praetorians to criminal dust,

But we villains will have a party: A grand Festivus!



Come join Quantum Evil and his cohort as we celebrate this year's Festivus for the rest of us! Even if your main is not able to journey to the scenic Rogue Isles, make a wee lackey of Arachnos and join the nonsense! Here's the scoop:


What

Festivus 2011, in case you haven't been paying attention. Everybody's welcome, even (*sigh....*) Stalkers! Come bask in that brand of cheer only a spiteful particle of loathing can give you.

When

Friday, December 23rd at 9 PM EST. It's OK to be a few minutes late because you were making a new character, but you might want to wear a jester's cap to blend in.

Where

Mercy Island, at the Festivus Pole at the top of the building just northwest of Arbiter Richard. If for some unfortunate reason you cannot fly or jump up there, I am sure someone will TP you and then gripe about it later.

Why

Stop asking so many questions.


Events

* First, we will have our annual Festivus dinner. Break out your favorite /em eat or /em drink and get cozy.


* As we enjoy our meal of donuts, hot dogs and Enriche, we shall have the Airing of Grievances. Register your complaint about any and all present, and make public the ways they have let you down this year. Topics can include:

- That VG mate of yours and his petless MMs!
- You-know-who filming everything in sight, even when you're TRYING to have alone time on the throne with Angry Birds.
- Scheming people.
- Jerk hackers
- The person sitting to your right
- Redside players bringing up 15 year old Seinfeld jokes and beating them back into the dark ground the jokes came from.


* After we've gotten all THAT off our chests, off we go to Fort Darwin for this year's Feat of Strength: Longbow Olympics!

- Challenge someone to Longbow Punting: See who can knock a red and white feeb the farthest off of the wall!
- Bowling for Longbow: Got an AOE knockback? Then lets see if you can get a spare or even a strike on one of those little squads polluting the walls of our former noob area.
- It's Raining Do-gooders: Are you one of the few, the proud, the Gravity Dominators? Then fire up that Wormhole and let the Longbow fall from the sky for our amusement!


* Festivus Miracles! Surely a special day like this must be LITTERED with examples of the supernatural specialness of our special day. Why, a Festivus miracle could happen at any moment. Don't be shy - point out the miracle that you have just performed or witnessed (Rangle owning up to a plot counts triple if he shows up).




Come have some fun, and join the Festivusities! (I like new words, OK??) See you all Friday evening.
