Order of the Phoenix Alliance Presents: An Evening Under the Stars

Yes, I'm sorry Kathrine. I voted for you as most creative but he who shall not be pointed at (A certain snowman we both know) completely disregarded it!

I had a great time, I think it's just as fun to host the celebration as it is to attend, thank you all for coming. I know my alliance certainly had a great time, and it sounds like everyone else did as well!

**** A Few Closing issues!****

I want to apologize for the difficult of the final Hide and seek event, I know a lot of people had a hard and frustrating time with it. I was hiding in Kaineng Center Japanese 1. For those of you that weren't there for the after party when I explained it, here's the clue and how it was supposed to lead you to me!

"Events of old rattle through the ages:" This was a reminder for anyone that was there for the Boardwalk Bar B Que, we held it in Kaineng Center Japanese 1 earlier this year. More of an Easter egg than anything else.

"Wooden Planks": Boardwalk! few places in Guild wars have wooden planks, and to me what stands out most is the Kaineng Center Boardwalk.

"Canes...Center": This was a direct allusion to Kaineng Center. Both of them were capitalized to add emphasis.

"The setting sun (or is it rising?)": The rising sun was supposed to make you think of Japan (and by extension the Japanese Districts!).


**** PHOTOS! *****

Here are some lovely pictures taken by Gnr Rules, who hence forth shall be the official event photographer!

Thank you all for coming, I don't think anyone had more fun than I did. The crowd was amazing and very understanding, and it does me proud that so many great people turned out for this event. Thank you very much, and I look forward to seeing you all, and more, at the next Order of the Phoenix Alliance event!

haha, so those were the ones you chose ^^. my favorite one is the first one up there, i forgot about that one...really captured the essence and fun i think everyone had at the party . and i wish i coulda doe a *bit* better job with the shots of the winners, but when i asked them to come they wouldnt, so i couldnt get them isolated and had to get people in there :P.
great event guys, i had a blast!!ill check here every now and then for events you guys slot up for so i can know.

also, i just made this thig called an "animoto video". its basically the BEST freaking thing around for presenting pictures and all and turning it in to something cool. i guarentee all of you guys who watch this will love it, and you can make all the other alliances jealous ^^. and im just this awesome and i know alot about animoto videos.

im going to be doig one to summarize what happened and for you guys/alliance, and the other one ill be doing for now is the one with all the self portraits of people, who DIDNT win stuff and just wanted to be see themselves!I told them they'd be in here, and a promise is a promise, so yah...they'll be in an animoto video .


heres the one for you guys:http://animoto.com/play/nikPWkX506FK9UPU0zLjuA
used calming nice music, since i didnt want to use my usual hard/metal stuff

also, please give me feedback on the video, since im trying to perfect my skills at it!

and i put goodbye to symbol it was the end of the video, dont worry im not leaving you .

Wow that was fun. I couldnt join you that long, but it was great throughout im sure. Well done again OOP.

Thank you Mr. Freebies, I saw you there but I wasn't able to give you a proper hello before you dissapperated into the crowd.

And Rules, that animoto was absolutely spectacular! Thank you so much for recording the event for posterity, it means a lot to all of us.

welllll, no problem!and forgot about this, so ill get to work on creating the one for all the self portraits now.ill edit in the video later . hope all the guys and girls who wanted to see themselves will here!

all the awesome screenshots people requested ^^. have fun looking!

I got second place in the Least Dressed category and never got to see the winner until now, he definitely deserved it XD

very fun event =]

And Gnr, your animoto was awsome =]

Wow, i had never seen an animoto before, but that sure was great.

thanks for the feedback/compliments, i tried to make it good . i sadly might not be able to make anymore for guild wars, since its my dads account and although im the oly one who uses it since im working for him, he still gets notices that i make them. When he found the animotos, he seemed kind of aprehensive about it and it was as if he didnt want me to do it again. ill have to get permission to do them for GW, to even have a possibility to do it and find out if i can . So that might turn out to be a one timed thing.
and GWfan#1, thats one of the main reasons why i did the animotos...you get to see all the winners and what not and what you missed, and get to see yourself .Also, what was your username online for GW???

And no one could have beat prodigy in the least dressed. i would have actually been kinda mad if he did, because it was the best one there .

IGN: Ako Fresh

I pmed u in game earlier but you were afk

hheeyyy!lol i was farming jade bracelets with my guild..was being tank with this special build i used so i would draw most damage. it was fast paced, so i couldnt respond to you and soon forgot about the message in-game :P.

*ahem*

The honorable Laeral Sunstaff, illustrious leader of the Order of the Phoenix Alliance and Guild (who is currently lacking a GWGuru account) would also like to extend her thanks to everyone who attended and made this party so special.

thanks a load smilin ^^. Exactly what i was aiming for.

and who/what was with character you attended the party with?

and operative, tell her it was my pleasure to be there, and thanks back .

met 2 people while selling jade bracelets that knew of my photos ad animotos, and got feedback from them...

so thanks to you ^^. be sure to tell all your friends, ill do any event for guilds (although i will always have top priority to OoP, since they treated me well and i had a blast at their events and i cant believe the generousity and amount of thank yous to me).

so, yah. awesome possum, thanks guys!

Thats a great offer. I'm sure people like the dj's at Blade Radio would love you to cover their Halloween/Wintersday gatherings.

yah,and i would love too. but i remember i tried to make an account once for their events and it wouldnt let me, so i wouldnt have that much fun at the party and communication to blade would be a little hard.does any one know some of the people who work for that IGNS???that would be a load of help so i can ask ^^.

and freebies, you seem like the kinda person whos in a big guild. i could do events for yours :P.cmoon... please?

Freebies is actually one of the REALLY big event hosts in the community.

then i would gladly follow him around and take photos for him :P.

eventually i might charge for my services (i dont know, 10-50g a photo??)but i dont know, i plan to keep it at 0 :P. so yah...what would you guys think if i did that?
