Curse

Hi all

Like a great majority of you I collected up enough booze for a drunkard title during Wintersday.

My plan all along was to save up all of the alcohol I've gained from Wintersday and Halloween for Saint Patrick's Day.

I'm thinking Lions Arch or the Greater Temple of Balthazar would be a good place to throw a Saint Patrick's Day celebration in. Since there is no official Guild Wars event for Saint Patrick’s Day, I though we as a community should throw one.

What will the goal be? To just hang out playing games, dancing, and sit around getting drunk and earn the Drunkard title or Booze hound title on Saint Patrick’s Day.

Saint Patrick's Day Event News:

Location:

Greater Temple of Balthazar, International District

Objective:

Gain points toward Drunken or Booze Hound Titles

Drunken Random Arena or GvG
Drunken Mosh Pit Dance Party
The Drunken Generals
Lucky's Charms
AA Meetings

Red Rover
Hide and Speak
(other suggestions welcome)

So come one come all.

If I had the booze to drink till I was dead, I would join you. But I dont, so I cant.

Guinness NPC FTW

There is not an official GW event for St. P day yet, but there could be.

Factions was released after the last Sait Patricks day. They could add a celebration to Cantha. I doubt they will though...but it would be something to push for.

leprekan · Jan 02, 2007, 04:34 PM // 16:34

Never happen from Anet. St. Patrick's day is actually a religous holiday outside the united states. It is only the drunken orgy here in the usa. If they can't mention Christmas due to religion they sure can't celebrate the bringing of Christianity to the pagans of Ireland.

Njaiguni Blaze · Jan 02, 2007, 04:44 PM // 16:44

Saint Patricks day? Isn't that an Irish holiday only? I never knew what it is. Still don't. Something with elves and four-leaf-clovers (spelling?). Meh, let's add Sinterklaas too! And Bevrijdingsdag, and Prinsjesdag and, and... See what I mean?

Chieftain Heavyhand · Jan 02, 2007, 04:49 PM // 16:49

That's exactly why I posted it as a player event.

For players by players. If A-net will not throw a Saint Patrick's Day Event why cant we as a community throw one?

All I'm saying is that on Saint Patrick's Day we all meet up at the Greater Temple of Balthazar and have a online Saint Patrick’s Day party.

Saint Patrick's Day is on a Saturday so the party can start at Midnight Eastern time and run to Midnight Western Time, for those of you on the west coast.

I know it is kind of early to start planning this but the more time to get the word out the better.

Just something to do for fun, I mean how boring will it be to set around getting a drunk title without some people to yuck it up with. Wear your green and drink to your hearts content. I'm thinking a town full of drunken elves / leprechauns would look pretty cool.

Njaiguni Blaze · Jan 02, 2007, 04:55 PM // 16:55

Sorry, I read the post too fast -_o
Go celebrate it

Esprit · Jan 02, 2007, 05:14 PM // 17:14

Can we also have a monthly GW AA meeting too?

Sli Ander · Jan 02, 2007, 07:18 PM // 19:18

Lol, I actually had a discussion while waiting for the Avatars about who was better: the scottish or the irish. It involved many jokes about why God invented beer and whiskey(to stop them both from taking over the world). In the end we decided Scotch-irish people were most to be feared.

If you really do want to make this happen, may I suggest designating a number of districts in LA to the task?

wetsparks · Jan 02, 2007, 08:18 PM // 20:18

This has got to be the coolest idea i've heard in a long time. I can see it now, 150 people gathered around in each district yelling at passerby that they are talking to lowd and that the world is spinning.

SlippyJack · Jan 02, 2007, 09:16 PM // 21:16

You'll need to come up with some games... Standing around for hours on end while drunk is not really fun.

Like 1v1 contests on who says "I'm the king of the world" first. Maybe bet each other an ale.

QFT.

They won't do religious events. They could make up something else in its place like they did with Christmas though.

Game Ideas:

Conga Lines: A district chooses one person to take the lead. That person gobbles down some sweets to gain a sugar rush and then prances around LA while drunk. Others follow suit.

Red Rover: Everyone in selected district attempts to body-block NPCs. The goal is to inhibit their movement completely. After success, dancing ensues.

Existential Quandaries: Why are we here? In Lion's Arch? Why did you make that worthless Monk/Necromancer that does 1 damage to the gargoyles outside Ascalon City, even though you're level 20? Why is Gaile Gray a Ranger/Monk? The community responds...

Mosh Parties: Community in selected district click on Lionguard Figo. Once everyone is cramped together on the dock, dancing and random emotes ensue. Warning: make sure your White Mantle Health Insurance and/or Sunspear Medica Insurance covers Mosh Parties before partaking of events.

Hide and Speak: Everyone gathers around the Canthan Ambassador [Guild Halls] and chills. When a new person enters the district and asks where everyone is, community Private Messages victim informing them that they have gone crazy and are hearing voices.

St. Patrick Day pwns all. Count me in.

Mother_Goose · Jan 02, 2007, 09:48 PM // 21:48

Up The South!

Northern Irelanders aren't real Irish!

I love my Irish heritage, but the drunkard title isn't for me... I'd still probably come and join though.

What if someone was to *lend* their TeamSpeak or Vent server for the event, so that players could communicate even better? I personally don't have one at the ready, but I"m sure someone out there does ^_^

dsnesnintendo · Jan 02, 2007, 10:07 PM // 22:07

my idea Call it Drunk Fest

for that day there will be DRUNKER AREANA and all booze will last twice as long

Skills include:

Arena affected by- Beer Googles-You health becomes 500 and your energy becomes 40 with 4 regen

Drunken Punch-Target foe takes 50 damage

Bottle over head-(3 adren) target foe takes 100 danage and is knocked down

Vomit-For 10 seconds adjacent suffer from poison

Blackout-for 15 seconds you become blind but your next drunken punch knocks down target foe

I, love you man(shout)- all nearby allys are healed for 300 health

Everyone Stop Shouting(shout)-all foes in the area can't use shouts

Its' spinning(shout)- all nearby foes suffers from dazed for 10 seconds

O, no not again- you are healed for 400 health but all skills are disabled for 10 seconds

Vandal2k6 · Jan 02, 2007, 10:32 PM // 22:32

It would never happen through A-Net. I can't see them setting up an event that advocated getting rat-arsed. Coz of the kids that play etc. Community one would be good tho.

Servant of Kali · Jan 02, 2007, 11:04 PM // 23:04

/notsigned, because getting drunk is mildly said nothing to be proud of. I hear tons of people glorifying drunkedness; i dont care if you get drunk ingame or IRL but i as hell am not going to join the parade. Nor want the game i play to celebrate drunkedness.

Dude, Halloween is pagan holiday. And even if you say it's not, it's christian holiday with pagan origin and symbols. Which means religious.

It's only xmas which is discriminate. Im not even christian and i think that's really lame, and ANet is kissing **** to sell more accounts.

Chieftain Heavyhand · Jan 02, 2007, 11:19 PM // 23:19

No offense but your talking about the guys that give away booze for every event.

My intent was not to get A-net involved, but to have a player event. If A-net will not celebrate a holiday why not get as many people together as you can and celebrate it your selves. Or in this case ourselves.

This is a celebration were the object is not to get drunk but to work toward a Drunk title.

Just my way to give a shout out to all of those who have been working toward the Drunk or Booze hound titles that on Saint Patrick's Day at the Greater Temple of Balthazar there is a party going on, so bring your friends, wear some thing green and BYOB.

Note to A-net if at all possible could you dye all the water in game green for Saint Patrick's Day?

broodijzer · Jan 02, 2007, 11:31 PM // 23:31

sure, but organise it in an international district.
