Also I am going all over the Continent of Tyria spreading the news about this thing in the towns. I'd like to form a publicity group and have people cover the different regions (ie: one person cover all of maguma jungle, someone else cover all the districts of lions arch, another person cover the northern shiverpeaks, ect.) If you would like to be a part of the group message me in game(Master Halbarad) or send me a private message right here in guilwars guru. First come first served as far as what you get to cover on the map. But like I said pm me and ill send you a list of the regions I need covered.

Hate to double post, but really just noticed this. I am actually SAD that Gaile has yet to notice/recognize this event. The mursaat event was wonderful, and having Gaile there really made it all that much more fun. I honestly hope that Gaile will be involved in some manner, directly or indirectly. I did email her in hopes that she can pass on some words to the dev team for me... I asked for a response from both ANET and Gaile regarding issues, whether their ruling was in favor of the event or against it, I just wanted a response. I have yet to receive one. I know they are busy, so I will continue to wait for their response, until the day before the event. If they respond ON May 5th, it will be too late and unfortunately the event will already be in full motion. You can only stop a slow rolling car, not a 600HP sports car with the petal to the metal.

I have renewed hope. Notice gaile mentions a small event, not a major one. It is my honest hope she is referring to this event!

Wouldn't that be wonderful?!?! I certainly think so!

MidnightsFury · Apr 23, 2007, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Do you still need people for the event? Cateres and checkers and such? I'd love to help out,this looks like a lot of fun!

Are you serious? That's Gaile Gray, a FEMALE Public Relations person for GW.

kungfukid · Apr 23, 2007, 02:38 AM // 02:38

Says a bit down in there "Yes, I have a note to send about the Masquerade. I very much plan to attend

"

I think she might be coming, lol.

ume kurosaki · Apr 23, 2007, 02:52 AM // 02:52

=) That's good news to hear about Gaile.

Rahja, any idea when you'll be holding the staff meeting?

Most likely thursday of this week. I hopefully can have Inde make an announcement about it, but if not, I will make a thread or a post about it here, depends on what Inde wants me to do. Anywho... just keep your eyes peeled for thursday, evening time (around 5PM EST, 9PM GMT)

Cheyenne Jouett · Apr 23, 2007, 06:38 AM // 06:38

Wow, this thing is getting huge. And it certainly does look like Gaile may be making a stop, woot! I posted the link to this thread on my guild's forum to make the guild aware of it, hopefully I will be seeing some of them around. If not, I may have to drag a couple in..=p

Qual · Apr 23, 2007, 09:09 AM // 09:09

This looks kinda geeky, yet so funny. I will be there

BenjZee · Apr 23, 2007, 09:21 AM // 09:21

i may be there...if someone reminds me...got a very bad memory for things like this

think we will need a bigger district

nova-exarch · Apr 23, 2007, 05:36 PM // 17:36

I'll run people too.

I can make it from LA to the Temple (with no set fee of course) and any other stops you might like to make (I would expect some sort of tipping if I'm running someone all over Tyria though LOL)

IGN: Indra Shego

Leave a message if I don't answer you (most likely DL'n or AFK) because I will make a point to scroll back.

Sounds like it's gonna be a great event!

Eroth · Apr 23, 2007, 09:48 PM // 21:48

alright thursday at 5pm est. I'll c if I can make it. if not it's because of homework.

Soja Aurion · Apr 23, 2007, 10:05 PM // 22:05

I notice that the slot for runner #1 isn't filled. If this is an oversight or mistake, I would like to apply for the position. Soja Aurion is a Ranger and a naturally made runner. XD

Well, needless to say... I haven't filled it because I have gotten so many responses about filling it, I don't know who to place. If all interested runners for the positions could email or PM me please, I will fill that spot.

Also, as of this moment, I am changing the policy on the backup/alternate district positions. These will only require ONE reference, but it will need to be a reference from THIS or GWO forum ONLY, and must be a member in GOOD COMMUNITY STANDING! No more emails, sorry. For those of you interested, convince a MOD or well known member to vouch for you, and consider yourself hired. We have 18+ slots to fill, so get to it guys! Thanks!

Wouldn't that be wonderful?!?! I certainly think so!

I saw Gaile's entire showing on the 20th of April. After Gaile mentioned the "mini event", I shamelessly plugged the event saying: "Yes! The Ascalon Royal Family Masquerade Ball on May 5th at Serenity Temple!" I was hoping to inform more people with saying that and hoping she would respond as to if she was attending. Then you see her respose in the link. From her response it would sound like she has somehow contacted you already.

I've informed my guild of The Ball and hope that many of them will attend. I am very much looking forward to this event. Great idea and I hope to plug events like this in the future.

I'm sure you have all checked the official GW site to see that this event has been posted for all to see in the community section and even mentions your name, Rahja. What more could you want? The Official GW Wiki's summary of Gaile's visit shows her having intentions to attend The Ball also. I think we under estimate how many people will show. I believe this to become a success!

I did want to interject this though. I believe Gaile will come incognito as this is a masquerade party. After seeing the chaos that occurs when Gaile appears I think she will enjoy being in disguise, so she can enjoy the ball and not upstage the event or its schedule. Though a short appearance of some kind should be in order for the handing out of prizes to get people's attention.

Personally I would love to see the ArenaNet team decorate Serenity Temple with lights and perhaps a sky change similar to Shing Jea's changes for events to accent to the atmosphere. That would truly cause more large community events to occur I believe. This could be great! Or it may cause hurt feelings when player's events aren't recognized or ArenaNet doesn't have the time or resources to help as often as players may like. I seem to remember reading some sort of an update around the time of the introduction to guild hall amenites or perhaps after the success of a holiday event, that ArenaNet would try to help with guild events if they could. My memory leads me to believe it was towards the very end of an interview or update of somekind.

MidnightsFury · Apr 24, 2007, 03:49 PM // 15:49

How exactly is this costume contest going to work? Regular armor will be dull and drab,and certianly there will be a hundred candy cane people around...just wondering.

BenjZee · Apr 24, 2007, 03:59 PM // 15:59

im guessing its a mix of different armor combos + the different colours u use.

Correcto. Details on that will be in the post here on Guru and GWO around the 30th of the April, aka in 6 days. That will be the thread where you sign up to participate. It will be first dibs kind of thing, so first people to post they are coming are enrolled, no more after the spots are filled. More on that in the post though.

Right, and I certainly hope she will be attending. Alex Weekes of PLAYNC should be coming incognito. I will be making my staff aware of his presence so he gets free drinks and sweets etc, and the same will apply if Gaile contacts me. Gaile I would hope would come incognito, because as you mentioned, her presence tends to create chaos at times, and would most likely cause the event's 4 hour schedule to become skewed and more like 6-7 hours... but I do hope she pops in for a quick hi while not incognito, to show awareness. I haven't noticed her on the forums much lately, so I assume she is busy and will eventually respond here, Patience is a virtue.

But yes, this event is huge. The feedback and community has truly come together for this one. The amount of donations, support, and kindness so far has been great, and I truly hope that continues up until and through the event, and far after it as well (at least the support and kindness).

As an update, I am going to log in to the game now, so if you want to donate some shards, ectos, jewels, RARE skinned golds and VERY RARE greens, as well as stackable party items. I am running so low on space guys, I am needing to be picky. If you had thoughts of donation but do not meet the above criteria, please don't be upset. I really appreciate your kind thoughts of donating, and remember, it is the thought that counts and makes you an outstanding community member and a truly great person. If you had a genuine intent to donate but don't have the items above, so what? Just come to the ball, your presence is donation enough for me. <3

Thanks!
