There are several people I'd like to thank for making the Ball a success.

First off, I wanted to let every one know that I wanted this to be as DM free as possible: a totaly player driven event...or as close to it as I could get.

Second, I'd like to thank the following DM's for their offer to help/support/script/arrange things with me:

Howland For running the event when Thrawn was unavailable and adding the placeables (tables, chairs, rugs)

Thrawn For championing this idea when I first came up with it. he helped me hammer out the early details

Arkov For scripting the 'special needs items' like the donation bowl, bartender and special effects decorations.

NC For making sure that the server was reset in time for the event to kick off on time Song of Orpheus For offering to help run the event should Howland, Thrawn or Arkov be unavailable to do so.

I mean how many servers of ANY online game or server have we played on that have had such a great back up plan for the player community in the way of DM's, Moderators, or Tech support.

*claps loudly for the DMs*

For those of you who don't know, I've never played PnP D&D. My first D&D experience was through NWN. So this time I got a chance to feel like a DM in a way, so it was very exciting for me.

And it couldn't have been a success without the players also being behind the idea. Right before it started, I remember runing to the bank and shouting that it would start in 15 minutes. When I came back from the bank, people I said it to, were like "perhaps we should buy some nice clothes". That was cool because the responded positively.

So thanks to all those who came, good, evil, and even our mysterious guest who slimed us all and flooded the entire townhal wiith oozes and floating sewage.

Special in-game thanks go to the people who play the following characters:

Gloinar Linda Frubo Herod Hennrick

They helped out IG set things up and get the word out.

But over all I would like the server community to know that I appreciate having a successful event and hopefully more DM-free things like this can happen again.

*all smiles, claps for the EFU player-base*

Sorry I missed it (fiancee's birthday), But right on to all involved!!! I would be floored to find out anything like this happens on any other server. Big props to djspectre and all the DMs...wish I coulda seen it!

Yes, a big thank you to all who helped with that event, it seems like it was pretty awesome.

*slams head repeatedly into the nearest blunt instrument for not being able to make it*

I will make the next one! I will I tell you!

I was up, and i saw the Zau-thing, but otherwise missed it, due to committments elsewhere on the server. The turnout was pretty incredible, though.

Yeah that one of the most exciting things i've attended on this server, I've got screenys i'll try to put up if i find the files :?

I would like to extend my thanks as well. It was a fun event especially the attack of the slimes although they did seem to whip Kyle's ass a little.

Daemonic Daz .... I've got screenys i'll try to put up if i find the files :?

YES! If anyone took any screenshots and can post them that would be great!

on a side note, where are images from the 'print screen' button located? and what, if anything, do I have to do to convert them to a web friendly format?

They go into the main NwN folder and are .tga format which you should change to .jpg or something similar.

Pics can be hosted at www.photobucket.com and numerous other places.

Happy posting.

I took a few screenies of the ball I can post a little later on. :wink:

Np dj it was a lot of fun =) Hopefully we can do more events in the future like it sometime
