Zalashji's Cave's Shindig (thanks to all who attended)

[Mortica]

The May/June shindig will be held at Zalashji's Cave off the eastern shore of Tanaris on Sunday, June 4th at 7pm server time.

This location should be relatively easy to get to for characters 40+. If your character is lower level, we will (hopefully) have a few Horde and Alliance warlocks around to summon you. I cannot stress enough that we really really do want you to come. Once you are at the spot, you will be safe from any mobs.

This is a trial run at having it someplace other than Booty Bay. A lot of people asked for a new locale so this is it for this month. Next month it'll be somewhere else (maybe collossus, who knows ;) ).

[Brakogar]

Too bad I wont be able to attend, Sunday for you is Monday for me.

I wish you all have a good time at the shindig.

Just remember this time to keep all the 'love' away from children's eyes (aka Zusteakai) :P

[Nadea]

Hmmm, Tanaris is kind of a pain to get to >.> At least for the lowbies
But it sounds kinda fun to go somewhere other than Booty Bay...

And Sunday night, YAY a better night than usual-- Ker and I are at Anime Boston until Sunday....eveningish? I hopefully can make it!


Edit: I got my weekends mixed up!! Sooooo, unless Im working on the 4t, count me in!! =D

[Caelyn]

well I will most certainly try to be there this time *fingers crossed work doesn't call again* and just for fun, I will run Anna down to Steemwheelde to help summon any who want to come.

[Lupa]

I'm in Toronto from Wed the 31st until the evening of Sun 4th for a wedding, but will try to make it for the tail end of the bash.

Either location is good for me, so really it will depend on the lower level folk and what they think would be easier to get to for them.

[Mortica]

yes, hopefully we can have some warlocks on both sides help out the lower levels get to the spot.

I will gladly help farm for shards.

[Vilmah]

Now, all I need to find is an outfit... *seeks out Grisch*

[Xeran]

Yay! Shindig! W0000000!

Anyone know where I can get swimming trunks and sandals? OoOoOo!! And sunglasses? Actually, as an engineer, I think I have the sunglasses covered.

[Lovely]

Well, Lovely won't be able to come, seeing as how she's in pretty bad shape right now and doesn't need to be around people, but if I can make it, I will bring in Teelia, my rogue alt. Might be fun!!!

/hugs

[Xeran]

Well, Lovely won't be able to come, seeing as how she's in pretty bad shape right now and doesn't need to be around people, but if I can make it, I will bring in Teelia, my rogue alt. Might be fun!!!

/hugs

O.o Xeran met Teelia the other night! I thought that was either you or your hubby.

[Castor]

Doh! That's an hour before the last Sopranos! :cry: Maybe I'll log out at the Shindig so I can try to get back to it right after the show ends. :idea:

It was me.....Not to hijack the thread, but after watching Barke be such a killing macheen a few weeks ago in a Scarlet Monestary run, I had to roll a rogue....Plus, Teelia isn't all crazy like Lovely, so I can mingle with my TNG friends in characer without all the baggage (like the fact that Kurohane and most Alliance people hate Lovely...hehe).

[Grisch]

Eh? What happend to the top of the colosal in Feralas?

[Jazmina]

Would love to come, but Tanaris would be difficult for me to manage. I'm old to the server, but this character is only level 12. :(

[Mortica]

well..since Fhenrir's wedding was there, I didn't want to spoil his location just yet.

It'll probably be the next spot..I think greater than a month in between is ok to re-use a location :)

[Mortica]

well..the lower level character can be summoned by warlocks, if we can get a few to volunteer on both sides.

[Grisch]

The twin collosals are pretty close to the Alliance flight dock from Feathermoon Stronghold. I'd be willing to run escorts for anyone who wants to come, horde or Alliance.

Also, maybe we could organise a few warlocks to get people there? There are also no mobs on top of the collosal either. Not to shoot your idea down Mortica, just want to get across that it's doable.

But the beach is so more sexy.....

hehe.

[Mortica]

there are no aggressive mobs at the cave area of the beach..only big yellow turtles.

the island does have slow moving giants, and it is farther from the graveyard, so we could just stick with the cave area if we want to insure the lower levels are safe from mobs.

I'm not saying we can't do it at the colossus, but from what I remember Tanaris and Colossus were about equal in votes, and, as I said, since Fhenrir just had is wedding there I thought a different venue so soon afterwards would be more appropriate.

[Grisch]

Oh, just something I thought might be cool. For all you alliance that went greener that Grisch in a green dress because horde have water-walking. How about we have a high level priest around who can mind-control people and I'll pop water-walk on them. Maybe we could have a party ON the actual water itself around the island?

[Laron]

Would love to come, but Tanaris would be difficult for me to manage. I'm old to the server, but this character is only level 12. :(

I will escourt you if need be M'lady. Though I am only 34. So not sure how well I can protect you.

[Mynikens]

Laron, you will have to represent the Tears of the Phoenix at this event, I expect you to behave... :wink:

I can't make it on a Sunday. :(

[Laron]

But of course, My Inferno. :)

If I can't be good, I will be good at being bad... :P

[Vilmah]

But of course, My Inferno. :)

If I can't be good, I will be good at being bad... :P

You'd better not! I'm around your level now, and I might just have to tell Najme if you don't behave. ;)

[Shadowspeak]

I could let the tip of my new Anathema meet the head of a little Elf.. :D

(the points are very very sharp for a staff, no kiddin!)

[Caelyn]

Would love to come, but Tanaris would be difficult for me to manage. I'm old to the server, but this character is only level 12. :(

Which is why Anna will be there, she is my soon to be 30 'lock alt. Although I do not promise an easy ride, err... not sure if I can even promise you will make it in one piece... hmm...

Note to self, keep Anna away from the booze until everyone who needs a summon is summoned.

I will however need a rough est. on how many summons I will need so I can go out and farm shards. /sigh

[Laron]

Oh Vilmah, you wil be there? You owe me a dance... :wink:

I will try to be good , no promises though...

[Fallacy]

I'll try to be there, altough I'll probably be late. Fallacy needs a little cheering up.

[Vilmah]

Oh Vilmah, you wil be there? You owe me a dance... :wink:

I will try to be good , no promises though...

Of course I'll be there! =D

[Xeran]

I think the person that teleports to the top of the colossals has a level limit as to whom she will teleport. So warlocks will be needed.

Any warlock needing shards Alliance-side, send me a tell in game and I'll help out.

Anyone Alliance-side needing a hand getting from Theramore to the beach let me know. That's how I got to Tanaris on two characters: swimming.

Anyone needing an escort, Horde or Alliance, from Gadgetzan ... umm ... you'll have to /wave at me or something, I think. I'd be happy to help out fellow party goers regardless of faction. If your lock is in the 30s, farming shards will be a piece of cake. We'll go to Darkshire where I can one-shot the mobs and we'll get a full bag and then some in no time.

And Grisch, that sounds like an awesome idea about the mind-control / water-walking. I didn't realize it was possible to MC / buff the opposing faction until last night, playing my tauren hunter on ED, I was nice to a priest trying to get out of 1k Needles. He /smiled and then MC'd me (and I thought "ok, here we go") but then he gave me a stamina buff. It was hilarious.

you TOTALLY confused me, cause Anna is my name IRL :O

But anywho....Im a warlock who is willing to help out with some summoning so long as I know how to get to the place we're going! :3

[Gloomberry]

A druid will not be summoned by your foul magick, witch. I will walk. **shifts into cat-form and lifts his nose to the air in an uppity fashion, tail held high as he struts away ...**

Heh, I'll be there! Monday mornings is play-time for me, perfect timing Mortica. ^_^

[NorthFace]

sunday SUNday SUNDAY!

Erm... I have a lowbie lock alt that I could probably flop out (see: corpse hop) to the location w/30-40 shards on him. We likely won't be raiding sunday, but I don't know at this point if I'm going to have other commitments. I'll certainly try to make it... as long as I'm not like, the ONLY other alliance there.

[Rhowen-Prea]

While Rhowen won't be attending, if I'm back from my little brother's graduation party by then, I can always escort people to it.

And perhaps I'll drag one of my alts to it.....

But yeah, I can help a group along.

[Karkarov]

I prefer the cave as it doesnt have a big smellt naga sitting at it slithering around. Also I among some others who should be there can likely handle the giants in the water one on one so it shouldnt be an issue protecting people in route.

I will of course also gladly assist with any horde shard farming.

[Huffy]

I don't mind where it's at. If it's at the beach, we need several campfires! I'll take care of the naked drunken dwarf part.

[Kurohane]

!!! You're lock's gonna be coming, Northy? I might just have to bring my druid then~ <3 <3 <3 They just HAVE to meet. ^_~

[Vilmah]

I don't mind where it's at. If it's at the beach, we need several campfires! I'll take care of the naked drunken dwarf part.

It wouldn't be a party without a naked drunken dwarf!

Heh, I'll be there! Monday mornings is play-time for me, perfect timing Mortica. ^_^

Well..the Shindig will be alternating weekend nights from now on. The first 2 were on Friday nights because that's what's best for me. This one is a Sunday, and the next will be Saturday (which I won't be able to make, but has been indicated as the overall preferred time for most people).

[Nadea]

Yes, but where is it going to beeee? we havent decided yet! D:

[Fhenrir]

Speaking as the entire Taurahe population of the TNG, I can promise I will do all in my power to show up!

You have four posts... you're hardly a regular, hon. *cackles*

[Abric]

... always figured this was us players shooting the shit in a raid, with some sort of RP happening for... whatever?

Dunno - too public for the character with too many peasants and people who'd need some killin'.

...

Then again, you get Cosby, and I'm there.

*clink*

[Karkarov]

The party will be on a small island south of steamwheedle. There is a stunty on it in a bikini. It is so horrendous and ugly it cant possibly not be noticed. Also a giant wearing clam and seaweed underpants walks by sometimes soon. I normally kill him just on principle.

[Garbhan]

Your speech develops a Scottish brough (uh, whatever Scottish is…)

Scottish Brogue

And yes, all symptoms are correct.

[Hifazat]

I will be showing up completely OOC so nobody has to worry :p

[Mortica]

updated the first post with a map.

[Abric]

... I'm just glad Kaliera finally showed up.

DOOM!

[Fhenrir]

well..since Fhenrir's wedding was there, I didn't want to spoil his location just yet.

It'll probably be the next spot..I think greater than a month in between is ok to re-use a location :)

P.S: Nobody showed up, so nobody gets why you're not using that spot already.

...*sniffle*

[Annabelle]

That is going to be one fun... long ass swim. Oh well I have a few days to make it. See you all there :D

[Mortica]

Nobody showed up, so nobody gets why you're not using that spot already.

I was there! It was a beautiful, wonderful ceremony. I especially liked how the bride stayed in beast form until the last minute and then *poof* appeared in her pretty white dress.

Which reminds me, I keep forgetting to have Mort thank you for the beers you sent her.

[Karkarov]

I was also there, I thought the ceremony went fine indeed. You two made a very nice looking couple yeap.

[Akkemi]

Grrr... after running through a sandstorm, dodging hostile Alliance, sneaking past pirates, avoiding sea giants, and 15 mins of swimming I finally arrived at the island. Then a turtle popped out of the water and ate me. :roll:

Anyway, I'm lookin' forward to the party!

[Mortica]

that's odd..all the turtles are non aggressive. Was it a rare spawn or something?

[Leyujin]

Tanaris turtles, at least the elite ones, are apparently ravenous, and distinguish little between plant or troll.

[Akkemi]

They're called Surf Gliders. One of the few hostile turtles in the game I'm guessing.

[Laron]

Yep confirmed cannot stand on the island w/o being attacked and killed...
<--- lvl 34

[Mynikens]

Well how much fun will that be for the little ones, if they die?

[Gloomberry]

I die running between Stormwind and Goldshire, so have your resurrection spells ready ...

[EnheilRas]

I die running between Stormwind and Goldshire, so have your resurrection spells ready ...

Why would you be on foot in enemy territory?

That's silly.

[Fhenrir]

I die running between Stormwind and Goldshire, so have your resurrection spells ready ...

Why would you be on foot in enemy territory?

That's silly.

He's an elf...

[Mortica]

Alright. I ran a 38th level character out there today and confirmed that the turtles are vicious near the island.

We will still be having it off the Tanaris beach, but instead we will be basing at Zelashji's Cave. There is absolutely zero aggressive mobs here or at the sandy beach just south of the cave, so younger characters will have nothing to worry about.

I was able to run my 38th level character here without dieing with a bit of patience wating for mob roaming patterns.

[Karkarov]

Also please remember that it is easy to get from gadgetzan to steamwheedle and never aquire aggro and once there it is an easy and safe swim around the coast. Also there will be at least "some" high level people at the shindig like myself that can easily handle anything in the zone so if you have issues just make it known and we can clear any problem areas with little effort.

[Hifazat]

Oh yeah if anybody ganks you on the way let me know, i will help out to make sure you get there safely. This is open to both horde and alliance.

[Tillna]

hioff being the hand of justice?
haha
If I am there, I Will help out too
need to earn my title of the Read Death

[Szaylis]

Can I come?

[Mortica]

everyone is invited.

While my preference is for peaceful dancing and what not, I have always stated that this event IS freeform. You wanna get your evil groove on for RP reasons, this will be your chance. This is the first one we'll be doing outside of the watchful eyes of Booty Bay guards, so consider this a trial run on that.

However. I know most people share my desire for this one night out of the month peace. Disrupting said event will probably bring RP repercussions from not only the other faction, but your own faction as well.

[clys]

I'm not sure I can come, but if I do I'll leave my weapons sheathed. We need a fun, friendly time right about now. Thanks, Mortica, for putting this on!

[Shadowspeak]

I will be there if I can, but a warning for Alliance:

If I come, STAY AWAY FROM ME.

If a single one of you wander off, i will execute you with the only reason of you being an Alliance. Do not wander off alone. (I am only not slaughtering everything there merely because the other Alliance might turn. Shadowspeak's only fear is defeat.)

Likely I will be ambushing escorts, or anything of the like if I happen to see them, but that case is unlikely. (no, i wont camp, I HATE campers, it's the most dishonorable way to fight.)

[Mynikens]

So you would kill me? :cry: But I'm so cute... why would you kill me? :cry:

[EnheilRas]

need to earn my title of the Read Death

I coulda sworn that the unabridged version of "Moby Dick Or the Whale" was the Read Death.

[Shadowspeak]

I can translate one way Zustekai. (mind control speech) But unfortuantly unless there is a high-level alliance priest, they cannot talk back. I would be glad to translate, but that does not mean I am kind in any other way, eh heh.

[Shadowspeak]

Edit: From one of my last posts... I will not attack unless provoked either by just a "oh, just going to hit him one time" or /spit /fart or anything else offensive. I will not attack anyone else unless provoked, I cannot push this far enough because I want everyone to have a good time but my charcter does not. Just steer clear of Shadowspeak if you are Alliance and don't give me an excuse to kill you.

[Karkarov]

That's a bit harsh specialy for people like me who can't make it due to the timezone difference making Server Sunday Evening actualy been Monday midday (work).

[Chavie]

Sundays are when I play on my alt with a RL friend, on another server. Sorry!

[Mortica]

If you can't make it, don't feel bad.

That's why we're alternating which weekend night the shindig is held so hopefully everyone can make at least 1 and hopefully 2 out of every 3 months.

Next month it'll be on a Saturday which means *I* won't be able to make it. But I suspect it'll be one of our largest ones because that's a good time for most people.

[Abric]

Ba-b... blarg!

I just threw up in my mouth.

[Aendra]

So I vote that everybody uses IRC for cross-faction shindig chattin'. But that's just me.

[Mortica]

I wish I understood half your posts, Abric :P

[Karkarov]

Yes the IRC is supposed to be what we use for cross faction communication. That being said I hope you are really hard to chew Brakogar.

[Caelyn]

:cry: Well I hope you all have a great time at the party. I won't be able to come. Work calls. But take lots of pictures and I'll look for them while I'm stuck working on computer systems.

~Caelyn/Annabelle

[Lovely]

Bad thunderstorms here. I've only been on for like 20 minutes all afternoon. Grrrr.

[Danyxandra]

Great party, Mortica! Clys will be posting pictures soon. *hugs*

[Fallacy]

Sorry for being all angsty. Fallacy hasn't been too happy, lately.

[Vilmah]

Well, I wanted to go... but thanks to Blizzards timing with the new hardware, I couldn't even log in. *sigh*

[Niethan]

Curses. I looked at the clock, then pulled up something to read and thought, "I'll read until 7ish."

It is now 9:30. A new record, really. Usually I don't notice I've passed my time limit for at least a day.

[Daala]

Completely forgot about it. :(

Perhaps the next can be scheduled soon?

[Shadowspeak]

This is why I made another alt, the rest of my characters are evil and going to such a gathering is nearly 100% out of their nature mainly because Alliance are there, and well, 3/4 of my characters are evil, and one is paranoid about dwarven plans to assassinate her. I made this new alt, a troll shaman, because Iv'e allways wanted a witch doctor, :).

Edit: actually it was not a complete waste even though I was inside the cave half the time conversing with my god.

THose of you who I spoke to via mindcontrol know what I mean :wink:

[Brakogar]

I am sorry that I could not make it to the shindig. I look forward to the pictures.

King Mosh still has not finished eating me because I am very hard to chew.

[Xeran]

Alliance turn out at these things seems to be diminishing. Poor Barke - alone for forty minutes surrounded by Horde. I thought it was an hour later than it actually was, hence my lateness.

Do the Horde have high-turn out at their RP events, usually?

[Rhowen-Prea]

Hey guys, sorry I couldn't make it. ;_; I got home right as it was winding down. I have to make the next one!

Can't wait to see pictures!

[Danyxandra]

Alliance turn out at these things seems to be diminishing. Poor Barke - alone for forty minutes surrounded by Horde. I thought it was an hour later than it actually was, hence my lateness.

Do the Horde have high-turn out at their RP events, usually?

Yes, actually, horde do usually have good turn-out. They also have a couple of organizations that promote cooperation and unity and RP, the THETA and the Nether Council. Guilds tend to really support each other's events on the Horde side. I don't know how that compares to Alliance. And Horde generally turn up on the dot and are rarely late. Me, personally, that was something that I loved to pieces about The Grim when I was in that guild way back in the day...they really pushed that people arrive on time and they'd start their events on time, with or without the stragglers. They'd strongly encourage people to get their flight paths and/or park their toons at the location prior to the event so everyone would be ready to log on.

Lack of punctuality is half the reason why I don't raid. I can't stand the waiting around.

Again, great event Mortica!

[Laron]

Well I showed up about 2 hours late. Yet earlier enough to be killed by Chum :)

[Kurohane]

I had some RL stuff come up and by the time I logged on, all my buds were leaving to get ready for an event we were having. Sorry I wasn't able to make it.

[Shadowspeak]

Danlily- I remmember why some of the Grim broke up... but I still enjoy them. RP-ing with Lilly is one of my favorites, hehe. I will never forget the day maledictus lead us on that attack in Dustwallow where we met about 300+ alliance and broke the server... good times!

Laron- :wink:

[Shadowspeak]

((Can't wait to randomly encounter you, Kurohane. ;) ))

Me to... eh hehehe.... :twisted:

[Danyxandra]

Yup yup, those were great events!

[Xeran]

Neat! You know it's a great event when it leads to a server crash.

Damn, I so wish I could roll both sides here. Are second accounts against the WoW ToS that anyone knows of?

[Chavie]

A lot of people have second accounts...

[Fhenrir]

Second accounts are only against your wallet. Blizzard loves your money, roll Horde!

[Xeran]

Second accounts are only against your wallet. Blizzard loves your money, roll Horde!

haha ... cool

*You have purchased a second account*

*Your wallet faction decreases greatly: 200 rep lost*

[clys]

Great party, it was good to see everyone, in such a peaceful setting. The big news of course, was the (first?) kiss of Mortica by Karkarov. And their plans to rent an inn room after the party, to "converse." Inquiring minds want to know how the talks went!

Herewith, some images from the event:

Yea... thats me...

:oops:

[Gloomberry]

Nice pics Clys! :D

Um ... why was I saying "Ealdor"?

Wish I could've stayed longer than I did. Next time.

PS What happened in the Inn? :roll:

[Mortica]

yay! awesome pics Clys!


Thanks to everyone who showed up...I know all the Horde had a good time. Apologies to the Alliance who didn't..hopefully we'll either get it straightened out or just keep it in Booty so there won't be any griefing next month.

((and no...you don't get to know what happened in the Inn!!! ^^))

[Fhenrir]

Also, Karkarov has now been given admin status and the ability to do whatever he wants within the forums.

This will so happen. Just wait and see.

[Xeran]

What griefing happened?

I know some people took exception to Pythre charging people, but she's a level 27 warrior. What was the lowest Horde there, 40? I thought it was hilarious! I told her she should have /hugged afterward. Kind of like a charging tackle-hug. Too funny!

And sorry to Barke and Pythre for bonking them with HoJ while they were MC'd. It's not every day I get to bonk a nelf or a gnome. :)

<3

[Rhowen-Prea]

Looks like it was a blast. Sorry I missed it! ;_;

[Mortica]

Are you trying to imply my knight in shiny armor is just *cough*talking*cough* with me to gain power, money, and status?

[Fhenrir]

Oh no no, not at all!

I simply meant that with certain relationships come certain benefits... *nods sagely*


P.S.
I could totally school your knight in shiny armor. *grins*

[Zasein]

There was no greifing, everyone was pretty well behaved, a few sheep running around, and a once in a while hostile totem, a few warriors charging around, but otherwise it was very non-existant. I think it was better there than it would've been in BB. Gaurds there are hyperactive, one time someone nearby healed a Horde that had been dueling (not fighting, dueling) with an alliance, and the gaurds mauled him. I accedently dropped a flametounge totem without realizing the effects, and if I had done that in BB I would have been very dead. And there wouldn't have been any party sheep.

No, I talked with several of the alliance afterwards. They said that they wouldn't be attending in a non-safe environment again because they didn't feel comfortable with being subjected to totems and other harrassment without being able to retaliate.

[Rhowen-Prea]

Responding to this and the Location thread,


Yeah, the Horde being stupid and "annoying" the Alliance isn't really condusive to getting them to attend. I mean, seriously, why would I want to go if the Horde are just going to screw with me the whole time? I want that, I'll go hang out in STV.

[Shadowspeak]

Which is why I say use the three strikes your out method... and if someone dies at this location the walk back is long... very long.

edit: And if my character was sheeped, I would trinket out of it and destroy the one responsible. I would consider that breaking the rules even if it doesn't kill someone.

[Barke]

While I didn't have any real problem with anyone at the party. Only hostile action against me was people stunning me while i was Mced for giggles. But the point is for everyone to enjoy themselves yes?

Well if we are to be subjected to totems and being sheeped and other such things in an environment where the other side vastly outnumbers us (Was at a horde party for most the time until Xer showed up.) And at least in BB their are already guards. That way -everyone- can enjoy themselves.

Just no reason to have it out in an unsafe zone. I wouldn't have been overly shocked if we had gotten jumped and killed by you all for the hell of it. Honestly I'll keep going but the turnout for this one had me disappointed. I might not even make it past an hour at the next one if I go at all.

*Edit* I say either do it in a neutral city so some of us can enjoy the party without getting hit, totemed, frozen, sheeped, stunned, sapped, etc, etc. Or everyone needs to make sure they are being better behaved. Otherwise these parties might as well be announced in the horde only forum.

[Zasein]

Thats fair to say, considering how badly outnumbered the allaince were.

[Shadowspeak]

But sad to say that if we keep using BB, that would get boring to say the least. This is merely a suggestion as I thought the location would be good.

Edit: Don't knock it till you try it eh?

[Barke]

I have no problem with other locations. As long as we are not gonna be harrassed the entire time. I know for one that some people showed up only to get bombarded with horde heckling them. And it shouldn't be needed to have guards for a "peaceful" event like the TNG shindigs. Then the people doing guard duty cannot enjoy themselves because they have to keep an eye out for people misbehaving.

Just my thoughts. Since there were maybe 8 alliance at the party total and I don't recall anyone telling the people doing the troublemaking to stop.

I mean...I don't mind getting stunned or whatever once and a while. And Xeran and Pyth stunning me while I was MCed was just funny. But the people I was talking about. Was one thing right after another from the time they showed up to the time they left. And Barke left the party earlie than intended because he did not enjoy being hit with the random totems. Its hard to stay happy at an event your already gonna be depressed at when people are causing your character pain.

[Shadowspeak]

I propose we use a one strike method then. Sheep someone? Dead. Totem someone? Dead.

Just make sure if you MUST duel soemone, stay away from our guests.

I can tell the other faction that it's ok to kill someone via mindcontrol, and I would be OH so happy to kill an Alliance if they were dumb enough to break the rules.

[Xeran]

Someone stunned you? Who would do such a thing?!

<.<

>.>

*hides mace behind back*

Seriously, I only did it twice (once to Barke and once to the gnome) and the stun itself is non-damaging: it's just a stun.

Personally, I consider all of these Shindig events semi-OOC anyway. Xer is something of a peacenik, which is why I bring him, but it's a party with Clys there, which Xer probably would not attend IC, so I just ignore that part of it (and besides, Clys is the bomb :) ). It's like a semi-formal: everyone is more dressed up than usual, but no one cares if you drape your jacket over a chair and go without it. So by all means act somewhat in-character, but let's leave the angst at the door.

I was thinking of the dueling thing at the event. I thought it might be neat for Horde to duel a pally in a relatively friendly environment (or for Alliance to duel a Shammy). Either way, it could be fun.

Having security for events out "in the world" may be a good idea.

[clys]

(( I'd prefer a neutral place also. I was frankly annoyed by the 'stupid horde tricks' going on, even though they weren't directed at me. A friendly gathering is the aim, right? Apologies to those who were annoyed or felt uncomfortable. Wasn't me! ))

[Fhenrir]

(( I'd happily play security for any other events being held outside of goblin towns and such. I don't mind standing around in full plate, I can always get drunk and stay on duty.

Besides, there's always plenty of time to ditch the outfit in private after everyone leaves. *cackles* ))

[Aendra]

I just wanted to say that I gave my permission to Skyze to sheep me all those times. I made that clear to the Alliance peoples too, hehe.

[Danyxandra]

(( I'd prefer a neutral place also. I was frankly annoyed by the 'stupid horde tricks' going on, even though they weren't directed at me. A friendly gathering is the aim, right? Apologies to those who were annoyed or felt uncomfortable. Wasn't me! ))

Yea, this was really annoying me as well and I asked Clys to relay my apologies to the Alliance in the IRC for the idiots hordeside that kept slapping totems down and such. If they wanted to duel, they should have taken it down the beach a ways. Wasn't me either. The most forward thing I did to any of the Alliance was hug and tickle few. I have such a hard time resisting gnomes expecially and Pythre was just too adorable.

[Danyxandra]

The aoe's were not entertaining. Fireworks are entertaining and don't keep thumping people. If you were a level 20ish alliance and you kept getting "tapped" with some level 40ish+ horde's AOE at what was supposed to be a friendly party...it's kinda like having the obnoxious neighbor show up at the barbeque and he keeps thumping you in the chest when he's talking to you. It's harmless but it's rude, in my opinion anyway.

I think a "safe" location is for the best. I want our alliance friends to feel comfortable.

[Barke]

Ok good. I thought I was being uptight about it. I would like to thank Clys and Lily for trying and making it enjoyable for us.

[Rhowen-Prea]

I made a final response over in the Location thread, and officially bow out of both topics for sake of my TN-neutrality.

As I said, it's a shame these are going to wind up being Horde-only events due to the behavior of a few.

[Barke]

Aye but damage done for me. I put up with a lot of crap yesterday so my patience is gone. Lest we put it in a city and everyone can prove they will behave I will no longer be attending.

If I have to put up with being heckled from horde while in SW I can't see why I would place myself in a situation just to get annoyed like that. Get pissy about it if you want but I'm not backing down.

I've already explained some of this to Mort but its a peaceful event. Which means just that. Like Rho said. the actions of the few have ruined it for the majority.

So next time....neutral city or less alliance. Up to horde side.

Also again I want to thank everyone that tried to put a stop to the shinanagans and to Fhen for pretty much keeping me occupied for the entire time I was there by myself.

Agreed. Except the horde side part. It was zusteakai and his "guild" being stupid. I think we all agree on this. Perhaps zusteakai and his guild should be banned from the next shindig as punishment for their behavior, and allowed to attend the 5th shindig as long as they don't do anything like they did last time.

Ratchet, Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, Cenarion Hold, Moonglade...They have guards that will keep the peace, but I think I'm forgetting somewhere.

Oh, zusteakai, if you dislike what I said, use pms on here so we don't flood the boards with useless stuff.

[Noury]

Everlook. But alas! That might be a wee bit out of the league for young inexperienced partiers like myself ( the life of a hermit doesn't lend itself to a rich social life..).

We could always go hang out with the Zandalarians....

[Kaliera]

...Cenarion Hold...

Trust me, once you spend enough time in Silithus for or during others' AQ raids, you tend to disregard Cenarion Hold as a "peaceful" place. I'd be willing to bet anything that there would be swarms of people, Horde and Alliance, that would be more than willing to upset the peace, and stick around for a few burs and keks. :/

I know, I have. The asses that get on top of the pillar bridge (the one going up the ramp to the alliance fp) really piss me off. Oh, and the caster that get on the side of the hill out of guard range, or around behind broken walls are fucktards too. Forgive the language.

[Xelthan]

Yeah, I got hit with totems, nailed once by a pet - and didn't do a thing against the purpetrators. Let's face it, a lot of us are going out of our way to come OOC-ly both Horde and Alliance side to make these shindigs possible. Regardless of apologies, the parties really are horde-centric as far as attendance, and considering what happened with Kuro at one and now this, well...

I'm not pointing fingers, not assigning blame. But it's too little too late for me. I'd love to come to another someday, but until some basic lines of respect and/or rules can be agreed upon with locations and behaviour, I'll have to bow out. Yeah - boo hoo Alliance can't take it. Honestly though, if the situations were reveresed, I know some others would feel the exact same way for being attacked and not being able to do a damn thing about it because you're outnumbered and NOT 60 ;)

If I wanted PvP, I'd come fully armed. I'd die...a lot... but I'd still come armed ;)

[Mortica]

well..the party's over, and mistakes were made. I'll apologise one last time. It's really a shame, because the location was much prettier than Booty.

I'm going to lock this thread, and in a couple weeks I'll post a poll to see how we want to proceed with the next shindig.

If you want to talk about it more, feel free to start a thread in the Inferno forum.
