My ex-girlfriend took all of those ones >.<

Oh, and to those who wish to donate items for the event, feel free to contact me in game: Hugo The Horrible. Or you can PM me.

I'd give the names of my other guildies, but I don't have their permission to post their IGNs :-D

I might join, getting back from the bar around that time so don't know if it's such a good idea. Need to work the next day too.

Alright, so the event is a little over 24 hours away. To anyone that wanted to donate any items as little or big they may be, I have decided to just get them in-game before the event starts. Some of you may not feel comfortable giving them away during the event and whatnot, so I'll just offload some of my extra stuff on my poor defenseless guildies :-D

I will be on most of the night tonight from about 10:00 PM PST to 2 AM PST and then once again about an hour and a half before the event starts tomorrow. (so around 4:30 PM PST) You can contact me in-game under the name Hugo The Horrible, and I will try to meet up with you and get your items that you wish to donate.

For those who decide to donate some items, I will make sure to keep a list and post it up on here along with the event results post, so you will be recognized in the post.

Oh, I'd also like to make sure everyone turns every chat channel on so that you can see what will be said in trade channel as well as the all channel. I figured it would be a lot easier if everyone keeps the trade channel clear for just BRA members to use, that way it will be easier to spot what we say.

See you all in about 24 hours! I will be making a keynote speech at the beginning of the event, so don't miss it :-D

Wow, ok...so much to sa about the event!

First of all, it started out with me having my items in the wrong inventories right before the event, so I spent a good half hour reorganizing my inventory. I turned out to be a little late for the start of the event (like 2 minutes or something!) meanwhile my guildies were in the district, getting all the crowd ready. While this was happening, my lovely guildie decided to do a "PST spike" on me >.< I didn't know that he did that, and at ocne I got about 40-50 whispers. My little new whisper bell thing was going insane. Even when I was switching characters I was getting that little bell, lol.

So, I finally arrive at the district, and we kickoff the event with a keynote speech from me. I introduce all of the guildies that were hosting the event and we went into some Guild Wars trivia. After a few questions we decided to play a couple rounds of tag, where people had to catch some BRA members running around and open a trade window with them to get a prize.

Once we gave away a few items that way, we decided to try out an entirely new activity called Tin Soldier Race. This involved moving around by clicking at your character's feet so they move but don't move their legs. You just keep clicking over and over and you will move like a tin soldier. Anyways, we set everyone up to form the walls of the race track, and had people line up in groups at the starting line. We would count down from 3 to start the race, and anyone that was actually doing it without moving their legs got a prize.

After a few rounds of that, we wanted to get everyone to try a huge activity of replicating "The Wave" that you see at sports games. So everyone would /jump as the bunch of BRA members ran past them all in a line. Well, halfways through getting the line setup, Gaile Gray showed up in the district. Needless to say, everything kind of fell apart. As Gaile was doing her thing, people seemed to migrate over to her, and we lost about half our people.

We then decided to conclude the event a bit early and do some syched emotes and give away the rest of our items.

Then when I switched characters for more items, I couldn't get back into ID1, so we brought some of the giveaway to ID2, and gave away the rest of our items. Oh, and that whole new build of Guild Wars that was released during the end too...

So, other than the technical difficulties and whatnot, we still had a great time. Pretty much everyone that came had a blast, and everyone got along. We gave away a whole bunch of items, and now we feel so much lighter!

I hope everyone that attended this event had as much fun as we did, and those who couldn't make it: I hope you can make the next one!

Please let us know of any ideas you had that could help make the events go smoother. As we hold more of these, they seem to get bigger and bigger, and I think a lot of our games are catered towards the smaller groups that we used to have at these events (30 or so people) so any ideas of what could make them better as they get more and more people would be much appreciated!
