All right so we a conversation on TS and theres been a few about the lack of any type of social events on this server. So we've been thinking that another zion party like we did in beta would be great but this time we could do it in Club Hell. All we would need is at least one person to get a mission to spawn but there might be a way to do that. Next we'd just invite people to the mission team and then once they enter kick them from the group. We could control to a certain degree who enters the party. We would still need a good securtiy force to boot out any mervs or machines that also get a spawn mission in there but I think by holding them at the choke point of the entry into the mission area. Also a few of our rezers and healers on hand wouldn't hurt.
Why do this?
Well social reason for one. We could defenelty use our time at the party to get to know some of the newer zionist as well as get up to date with a few older ones that we've known. Second point is that we havn't done anything real big recently to get our names out there and if we could hold the party at merv central and help the zionist cause it would kick some ass.
We've tested booting people from the mission team and letting them stay in the area and it seems to work. It does need to be test for a longer time period but that shouldn't be to hard. Next myself or another need to test about getting into club hell but I believe it won't be to bad.
If it all works we should defently get an invite list going and activities up and ready. I'd also like to plan the event around a time one of our DJ's is playing on RFZ. I don't realy want to include them in it but seeing as it is a central point for a few people it wouldn't hurt for the pr. Of course the last part would be great if our fear less leader could make a speech and such because it had a realy great effect last time.
I know this would be a repeat of our big party during beta but alot of the new players wern't there. Plus we could use this to strength bonds with some of the other zionist out there. I also remember the party (roughtly around the time I joined FA) as being a big hit not just for the community but for us. I for one felt a bit closer (not close enough to let nemi hug me but still you know what I mean)
So post your thoughts and opinions and shoot it down if you see any big holes in there. Please leave the spelling and grammer out of it (well damn thats going to garentee a post on it but any ways that won't bother me to much :P)
-
I think this would be a cool idea. I'm not sure how well I'd do as security at lvl 39.5, but by the time we actually do this, I'll probably be around lvl 41-43, so I should be available in that capacity if needed.

BAH!!
tivod, you dirty whore! *cries* (it's ok, i still love you)
actually, truth be told, for the past few weeks, the members of the Carpe Diem have been planning on hosting an FA-only party
i was planning on releasing it to the faction TODAY
um .... guess it's time for me to release that information, huh?
**scrambles to find post in Carpe Diem forums specifying the event**
AHA!!
The member of the Carpe Diem cordially invite you to the First Annual FA Bash!! (okay, the name sucks, it was thought up in approximately 2.5 seconds)
Times and dates are subject to discussion.
We plan on making this an all-day event.
Current activities include:
Combat Tournament (Two tournaments, one solely Operative, one solely Hacker)
FA Best Dressed (Several categories and live judges)
Kareoke (Break out the Champaigne and tune in to TeamSpeak!)
Scavanger Hunt (Actually has an in-game purpose that will be revealed after the event is done hehe, including help from non-Carpe Diem member MasterYoda)
Our current plan for location is Club Masamune in International. Reasons for this choice: the area is secluded and International tends to be less laggy than other areas. Plus, the place is BITCHIN. We have escorts to get access keys and the access node, as well as a bouncer to keep out reds and keep lower-levels from being attacked by the surrounding mobs. The only bad thing is that the club was mentioned in the article about Ookami, and there is a mission contact in there. Hopefully, however, the traffic will be minimal.
HA!! One step ahead! ... or ... one behind .... depending on how you look at it. So ... yeah ... if you'd like to be involved, sign up, help out, whatnot, please send me a PM. w00t! :p

i think you both have some good strong points that cud be merged into one solid idea. as for the idea about hosting it at club hell, as much as i WOULD like to see it happen. dont missions have timers? even if we set the mission to Long the mission will eventually despawn and we may have a hard time getting a mission to spawn in there again. it could become a problem. i dont know. but if we can get it to happen that wud be SO awesome. EFF YOU FRENCHIE!
-
Masamune is cool! It's named after Masamune Shirow, the man behind Ghost In The Shell and some of the best cyber-punk Anime/Manga... and one of the greatest influences on the technologies of the Matrix.
-
The mission that I think I can get to spawn there will be canceled yes when the timer runs out but it should be able to be recalled. This of course needs to be tested befor I can state either way.
Good to see you/ve got all that in order Grim. I do suggest that you considering it in club hell. I"m going to try and test it out and post what I find. The reason for club hell is we can control to a degree who comes in and nuke those who would cause problems. All thought the club you chose is great we would run into a constant battle just trying to hold the place as we've got a few enemys that would love to spoil the fun.
Either way what every you need that I can help with just let me know.
-
sounds like an excellent idea tivod, if it is possible... however you realize that as soon as the first asshat with a enum character gets word of this they're going to scream exploit.... it's inevitable, still a great idea and i say fuckem and lets do it :P it's not like our character's are gaining levels or info by doing so
-
well, the reason we had said masamune was mainly because of the level barrier. the mobs around club hell are i believe 31, and we still have a considerable amout of members below that level, or even right around that level. there are mobs inside the parking garage where the club is, too, and the respawn is pretty fast. plus, getting members the access key and then the access node for that area will be much more difficult as well. it's a great idea, and the club is the shit, but we have to make it as easy as possible for all members. when we did the mixer at deus, most everyone was 50 and the node didn't require an access key. and being as those aren't sellable or tradable ... perhaps we can start doing parties more often, and use club hell later when more of us are higher level and have had the chance to get those nodes?
p.s. i thought the club was named after masamune, a kind of samurai, which definately came before an anime creator, being as supposedly the sword is dated back to something like 600BC ....
EDIT: no matter where we go, we will have company. it's just a matter of how discreet can we be about it and how well we handle it no matter what club it is in.
-
Sounds like fun to me =)
-
I, too, have secretly been planning an event for quite some time now.
Unfortunately, it was before I knew we were going to end up on a hostile server.
So now one of the old-school dancefoor style parties doesn't seem so practical anymore, as it could very quickly turn into a complete and total gankfest.
But I like your ideas. One thing is: Can we still spawn missions in club Hel via recycling? I remember sitting for a couple of hours only to hear later that they had taken it out.
-
Awesome idea! :)
The guy calling/maintaining the mission should be out of sight and should have a patcher near by.
I think agents spawn if you don't compelete the mission after a certain time. If you have to recall the mission (because of agents), then I think it's impossible for another mission to spawn in the exact same area until everyone gets out of the area. But like you said, we gotta test it out and see what works.
-
yay more events. *does a happy dance* grim your event sound like a great idea to get FA back working together and just getting to hang out with fellow angels. something that hasn't really been done in a while. the community event also is a great idea, as we've begun to bring our name back up in the ranks :) oh i'm so excited. if you need help with anything. let me know.
-
For the Club Hel idea: Level is of no concearn. We were testing the Recall Mission Team abilities and you can pull members straight into the mission area. So as long as you clear out any mobs inside (I don't think there are any though, as it is a "meeting" mission) there is no worry at all for the lower levels.
For the Masamune idea: Sign me up for a bouncer shift, and if I have farmed MA by then I may do a few duels. I'll also be sure to display my reds and win the best dressed. If that don't work, just remember: I have a shirt with Pizazz.
I think they are both fine as seperate ideas. The Club Hel one was gonna be a Zion party anyway, or so was orignally stated in TS. It was, If I am not mistaken, going to be a big Zionist slap in the face to the big bad Merovingian and his cronies.
-
p.s. I thought the club was named after masamune, a kind of samurai, which definately came before an anime creator, being as supposedly the sword is dated back to something like 600BC .....
are you sure you're not thinking of the sword of kusanagi? or the samurai mushashi? =X nevermind, you're not talkin about either...oops..guess you meant the sword of masamune the swordsmith..
I think that's the one you're talking about...even his swords or one of them was in the first highlander film(or talked about)...but it could work out both ways....masamune the swordsmith and his swords, and masamune shirow the cyberpunk master of japan.. (google: masamune)..he's all over the place

I DJ mondays at 7pm-9pm FAT.
-
yeah boom, i was refering to the highlander one, mostly, but there have been several (or mocks of the original) so who knows. send in a ccr :p
anyway, vinzeru, concerning club hell, yes, we can transport people there, but it still doesn't solve the problem of access nodes and access keys. i don't think transporting someone makes them immune to being restricted in that area. =/
i think that doing this as an all-day even on maybe a satuday would be best. i'm thinking all-day mainly so that the overseas people can get in and take part in something, if not as much as possible. i know nartak used to have his own DJ deal on a separate channel not on RFZ, which if we could do something like that, host a temporary radio channel, that might be best. mainly because if someone is on air and mentions it on RFZ, everyone not in FA who hears will be like "wtf i wanna go!" :p
-
If you don't use specials then the meter doesn't go up. I've gotten a total of two access nods and only jumped once by an agent when I was spamming specials like no other. I doubt it will be an issue but having rezers on hand makes that a non issue. Its easy to get a few of us the access keys if its a conern for those in FA. After that we can just keep them coming on in. Biggest problem is the mission time out deal its going to have to be tested. Also as someone pointed out the party that was suggested at club hell was a gathering for all of zion to take a stab at the mervs which would be fun and if we have it just a short time while fuse is on the air we can tell them to kiss our hiney.
-
perhaps it would be best to split the current event into two? perhaps hold an FA-only thing at masamune, just for us. then, later, when it's not so much trouble to get around some of the things we've talked about, and when we can talk to other factions and plan more, have another party at club hell that's zionists, not just FA?
for the FA-only, we can stream a radio channel that only FA will be connected to. for the zionist mixer ii, we can do it over RFZ. for the RFZ DJs here, if we schedule something like that later, are you guys allowed to request to host that day? or is it strictly so-and-so DJs at this time and there is little or no changing that? cuz that would be cool. i know we have multiple RFZ DJs here, so it would be kinda neat to have them take over the entire day of the mixer :)
i think the best option is to make this two separate events. perhaps make the FA-only one a mock, even, of the zion party at club hell. we can do all the activities that my shipmates have come up with at the FA-only party, and then we can find the things we need to iron out, and put those events back into the zionist party.
-
Agreed, there still needs to be testing but most of the problems I don't think are going to be a problem. Some prep work would be good but I don't think it will take long to get it up and running. I figure will aim for a week after yours and see if its duable by then of course pillaging any fun games along the way :).
-
he was a samurai before he was made...into...a sword...if that makes any sense, famous for his bravy and skill. then all the anime rip off and whatnot. party sounds like a good idea, prob wont be able to make it, but if its past may 20th im all game.
-
yeah masamune was a sword smith. possibly the greatest sword smith in all history. but there is no way in hell theyd use masamune steel to do a movie. that would be like blowing up the mona lisa in a stunt scene. masamune steel is easily recognizable on first glance over conventional swords. it cant be imitated by human hands. the V shaped grooves along the edge of a sword are formed when the steel is hot enough to be bended. the metal is folded diagonally and wrapped around, then folded again in the opposite direction wrapping around again. masamune is the only human alive in history that could fold the steel a third time creating a distinct pattern of grooves along the edge of the blade. machines can do it nowadays... but even still there is no comparison in quality. masamune steel goes for at least 6 figures and there arent many around nowadays.
-
and that is why the japanese katana is the best sword known to man, strong, light and agile
-
Can we test this tomorrow May 4th. I need something new to do.
-
Well looks like the Les Enfants Terribles are beating us to it. They are going to be holding a Merovingian party at club hel on May 8th...

DAMMNIT!!! Well we should still do it anyway since they have their Exile only we will have a ZIon only in their own dojo just to smite em and to have fun i might add.
-
actually, they beat us to it a while ago. not sure if it was LET, but a merv faction hosted a party there during beta, and RFZ was all over it. so yeah, we actually borrowed the idea to begin with ....
-
Need I even say that I am all over this like white on rice? :)
