Very well done even if I never did find those freakin' mushrooms. Hopefully we can do something like this again sometime.

Victory is mine bwhahahahaha,

Oh right im supposed to be gracious in victory arent i, well that is no fun now is it :D

In all seriousness it was a really imaginative event and i thoroughly enjoyed it even if i did spent 5 precious minutes stressfully running around quarks when i misunderstood a clue :D

Congratulations Res you had a brilliant idea and executed it really really well.

Thank you, Res! It was a blast!

Thank you to everyone who attended! We had an amazing amount of people show up, and my only regret is that not everyone could participate due to bugs with the foundry. For the few who the foundry crapped out on, you have my apologies, and to the rest, I hope you enjoyed the event!

I learned a lot from running this event, not only in doing the first Scavenger Hunt event to utilize the Foundry, but in when and how to conduct a proper event. It was truly an honor to run this for the fleet, and I look forward to running an even better event in the future!

The winners are as followed for the event;
1st place: Milmar
2nd Place: Andrew
3rd Place: Eurrsk
4th Place: Severus Ran
5th Place: Melia

With much love,
Res

Good job on your event, Res :)

I know that you put a lot of effort into preparing for it. It was a good turn-out and I know that everyone had a good time!

Good job, and I look forward to the next one :)

Cheers,
Dave.

is anyone doing a european one?

Oh that sounds fun. However come to the US one, it will be warmer...that equals less clothing on guys!

Thank you so very much Halish for your response, it was what I'd hoped it would be. Every part of it was very respectful and informative but above all....it was pure honesty. Your willingness to be openly honest with your members is what spurred my/our loyalty in the first place/beginning. I, like you, struggle with some of the more important aspects of this game and what it is truly missing.

Though I can't literally shake your hand. Please know that if I could I would. It takes a real person/man to go to the depths you took to explain things and admit the behind-the-scene mechanics of what happened. Thank you. :)

I can say this much without hesitation and with pure conviction. You have a true gem with Elquin, he loves this game with an unmatched passion. He has been there for everyone time and time again and he may very well be the glue for the moment that holds what's left of this guild together. We'll see what this new content improves for all of us...or not. But in the mean time, if Elquin requests something so that he can keep applying that glue...then my advice would be to give it to him. This is the only game I play (outside of checkers with my mother) and it is made very enjoyable when I'm able to team up with Elquin...and his enthusiasm! :woohoo:

Hope to see you in game more Halish...but in the event I/we don't...at least we know why now.

Have a blessed day. :)

a European and longer cruise would the next goals once we've completed the first one

I agree that we should commemorate all four of those days you mentioned, Nick. Too many people don't know enough about LGBT history or just shrug it off and take it for granted, but the majority of the world still oppresses homosexuality.

Though this isn't really an "official" holiday, something like it might also be worth noting on our calendar? It's called Anti-Bullying Day.

wish i could make it but it's midnight for me and work on MOn :( boo

have fun anyways!

Today is the event! I have added to the event a grand prize of 1000 zen, so here is to hoping the event runs well!

If we feel we have the time, would it be allowable to play more than one character? Maybe one on the base and one on a starship?

Yes, definitely. :) The way the system is set up you can have a main character, alt characters and NPC characters that are all linked to your user account. We might decide to place a limit how many alts and NPCs someone can have (so as not to clog up the system), but I'd encourage people to play in more than one division/department if they want to and have the time.

Quote by DragonWarrior23

hey Bren i'd liek to be either Starbase personall or a Department Head because my main character that i use knows how to run a science department

Sure. I'm going to make the final decision about the department head positions just before the RP goes live, because it will depend mainly on how much interest we have in a specific department.

Thanks, Keioel.

I wanted to thank everyone who participated. I hope you had as much fun tonight as I most certainly did, even with the occasional map-durp. :dry:

With any luck, we'll be working on making this a for-reals fleet event in the near future, so keep your eyes on the boards for schedules and times!

Though I'm not participating in the Beta Weekends, I've been keeping my eye on it for a while and would like to give it a whirl when it's released. I mainly played the first NwN release (never really got into NwN2), so I'm curious about the MMO. I'm also in the mood for something fantasy-ish.

I can't wait! Since I already write as Aiden for the Literary Challenges on the Official Forum, I think Malco (my TAC Trill alt) will be my character for this. It'll be fun writing about Aiden's other half!! (Just spent the past 3.5 hours writing a fairly detailed bio.)

:laugh:

This event was fucking awesome. Highly recommend, would do again. :)

Thought I'd also chime in on the status of the RP site as my role in the endeavour is as the project's designer. Basically, I'm in the process of taking the features of nova, but radically changing how they are presented on the site. This involves alot of creative coding, patience and time. I'm building up an entirely new template from scratch, using the same LCARS design I used in the STF Compendium[\url]. but unlike the compendium, The RP site will have immersive music, LCARS effects and sounds, to provide a truly involving experience on Starbase Diversity.



The above image is only some preliminary work, but it goes to show that a great deal of progress has been made so far. Even if much of that is actually "behind the php scenes" :)

Stay tuned!

Starbase Diversity out!

I think Starship Operations is going to give me the greatest flexibility, which I have to take into account with the semester getting heavier. This is going to be fun. :)

Quote by Halish

I have been jumping from game to game from free-to-play MMORPG to free-to-play MMORPG

To be fair, I think the free-to-play and freemium business models are a double-edged sword for MMO communities. On one hand, these models support a greater number and variety of games with both broad and niche appeal, many of which benefit from larger and more diverse pools of players. On the other hand, these game communities seem less stable as players race to max level and burn out, then hop from game to game to game to rinse and repeat, and generally consume content faster than it can be created, particularly so for "theme park" games like GW2 as opposed to "sandbox" games.
