After prompting by multiple players, I'm going to put together a proper Caldari/I-RED RP event. This is the OOC thread for discussion of it, and to help clear up any misconceptions and such of the rules and spirit of the event.
Attractions:
Public Speech by I-RED Executor John Revenent "Winds of my Ancestors"
This will be John standing up in front of the crowd and reading a short speech. It will include some personal moments, his hardships and dreams, and will aim to be quite moving. It will bring a human perspective to the bulky entity that is I-RED.
Q&A with I-RED Office of Public Relations and Vice Executor
Modeled after fanfest, this will be a very formal Q&A press conference session. Each person will be allowed to ask a single question when selected by panel members, and each question will probably be answered. Loaded questions and troll questions may not be answered.
Awards and Recognition Ceremony - Members and Allies
Members of I-RED will recieve awards either in person or in absentia. Certain blues (maybe even rival 'reds') may be also granted recognition for exemplary thingamajigs they may have done.
Unveiling of I-RED's Newest Product - To be revealed only during the event!
Not going to spoil this one, but I-RED will be unveiling a new product developed and produced by I-RED. This will not be reflected in game mechanics, and will not be marketed to Capsuleers. It will be a direct reference and tip of the hat to an older fiction that has greatly influenced Science Fiction as a whole for many many years.
Round Table Discussion with I-RED - Moderation Enforced
Again taken from fanfest, this will be a much more informal discussion table with people selected after the Q&A. If you ask good questions and show a civilized and mature tone during the Q&A, you may be invited to the Round Table to ask as many questions as you'd like, within reason - pretty much all of which will be answered. If you troll here, you get hauled off and away.
Features:
Tea, Full Bar & Kitchen, Tobacco, No Contraband
The I-RED lounge's kitchen staff and bartenders will be on duty to give your characters all they need! We won't have many Gallente/Matari/amarr items available, but everything Caldari made is. Even Protein Delicacies.
Civilized Relaxation Lounge - Moderated Attendance Enforced
For those higher class characters who don't want to be seen in a 'club' or whatever, they are welcome to sit in a smoking room and discuss things with monocles and brandy.
Live Entertainment
We're taking offers for live entertainment such as Morwen's music. Anyone who has something nice to provide is welcome to offer, but due to time restrictions, we can only fill so many slots.
Gambling & Sports - Real ISK!
There will be gambling tables and betting booths for typical Caldari sports, in typical Caldari fashion. This may or may not be actually hosted by us in anything more than a vague IC way. We have plenty to host already. there will be a lottery hosted, the idea stolen from Silas. We'll give away some faction ships - but you'll be required to buy a ticket.
Dancing & Martial Competitions
Again, this may not be actually 'hosted' by actors, but will be there from an IC perspective. If two players would like to box each other or wrestle or something, they are welcome to post here so we can arrange it as live entertainment.
Attendance Details
Capsuleers Only - Please don't expect to bring non-capsuleer characters. If they can't use a capsule, they cannot attend.
No Slaves or Armed Escort Allowed - Simple enough. Holders leave your slaves at home. Slave characters must also stay at home. No armed bodyguards.
No Weapons
No Contraband - No you may not snort a line of Crash and huff some Mindflood.
Age Restricted - 21 or Older - Sorry, no kids.
'Reds' Welcome - We Encourage Your Thoughtful Participation at the Round Table and Q&A
This is important. Even if your toon doesn't like I-RED, you are encouraged to attend just so you can call us out on our actions or goals IC at the press conference. While this is essentially an I-RED circlejerk event, we do welcome hard questions as long as they're actually questions.
Ishukone Watch & I-RED Enforcer Security Provided
They WILL shoot you and kill your character if you cause trouble.
This will all be a proper Caldari themed RP, staged in a pleasant but minimalist setting. There will be dancers and there will be gambling and drinks - but it will be done in ways that more aptly fit Caldari sensibilities. Everything will be legal, and everything will be rigidly controlled. It's not a wild all out orgy of hedonism, but it will be fun.
There will also be plenty of serious looking men and women about, talking about srs bznz stuff. The object is for everyone to learn something about I-RED and have SAFE and LEGAL fun.
So... thoughts? :D

Sounds awesome, looking forward to it!

Cheerio. Quite nice.

:cube: for the shout-out.♥ If this ends up being scheduled on a day I can make it, Morwen'll try to attend. If you'd like her to perform something, Kat and/or Simca can poke her with any requests. Long as I have enough time in advance to do the write-ups!
SAFE and LEGAL fun.
:lol: I ♥ oxymorons.

I am so there.

I'm not sure how many people are interested in listening to a non-professional male singer, but it's my only real artistic talent. I sing. I could always try write/record something EVE related - not sure how successful I'd be though, never tried writing a game piece before.

I promise I won't burst into flames at this party.

Sounds like a lame party, then.
If you can get Doctor Banjo there, I'm in.

He can be a magician. A butt magician. (He makes ****s disappear.)

Aldy is always flaming c/d?
EDIT: Also, enjoy this! Seems like a lot of fun!
-
Did someone say TEA? Sadly, Makkal has no reason to come, but this still sounds neat. It's very cool of you to put this together.
-
Thanks Kat.
-
Date/Time added: 12th August at 16:00 EvE Standard.
-
Why is it so goddam early? That is four in the morning.

Because a half-awake Val is more likely to flirt with people at random than one fully in control of his wits.
-
That is true. He'll probably forget who is off limits and start getting grabby at random.
-
What do people have to do to be invited ?
-
There will be another batch of invites going out soon.
-
What do people have to do to be invited ?
Just ask. If we think you'll actually contribute and not just be derpy(there are many levels of this) then we'll send you an invite.
PS - I don't actually think you would be just stating that for the record. So if you want to come just ask in the thread. :D
-
I did send a mail and replied in the thread a while ago.
-
Then you're probably already on the list. We're working that out now and getting ready to send out the normal invitations.
-
Ok ^^
-
Actually, I miscalculated. That's not four in the morning, it's two. That means no Valdezi.

Would try to attend, but it doesn't make RP relative sense at the moment!
Good luck anyway!
-
Could I just ask how long the shebang will last?
I can make it its just that I also have work on the same day so it would be nice to know.

Few hours would be my guess. Not really sure though tbh. We packed a bit of stuff in there but no longer than most other events so few hours maybe a smidge over that.
-
I know a couple of the TS-F guys would like to come. Can I get them added to my invitation? I promise we wont cause any problems :)
-
Yes but like I told you IC and OOC, you need to provide an actual list!
-
Wasnt able to attend, sorry. :|
Edit : oh lol, apparently I was confused about the date. Nvm
-
I dont know who the list would be! Degen at least, maybe Ghost, Zanzibar...
-

Ghost should be allowed there. Where there is tea served, by definition theyre also serving water.
And the man loves his water....

So the event finished!
We had some hard questions asked by allies and foes alike, and answered them as best we could. an unexpected protest by WHG against the presence of Nation elements at the conference was noted. (Great job there, Ken!)
John and Simca duked it out downstairs in a brawling ring. John was heavy and powerful, but was choked out by the smaller faster Simca. Morwen gave us a great performance.
Finally, the lottery winners were:
Jev North with two hookbills
wurblewind with a Navy Osprey and a Navy Caracal
Shaalira D'arc with a Navy Scorpion
and hilariously unexpected, Istvaan Shogaatsu with a Navy Raven. That was not planned.
-
I could tell it was a very well put together event (even though I didn't stay the duration for obvious reasons), and it was lots of fun! Well done.
-
Agreed, well done.

Grumbles about writing speeches -_-

You had a fight to RP!
-
Awesome event was indeed awesome.
-
Rather enjoyed that indeed, especially winning the CNR - quite unexpected :D
-
I had a great time telling Kat to engage his calm, and at the event. Big thanks to everyone that came and made it fun. :cube:
-
I bet the event was crap. It was crap, right? :cry:
-
That's what I heard.
-
I bet the event was crap. It was crap, right? :cry:
As someone who wasn't there, I am sure it was a horrible event of horribleness as opposed to the awesome event of awesomeness that everyone says it was.
-
I bet the event was crap. It was crap, right? :cry:
The only part that was crap was that Val wasn't there flirting with all the womenfolk.
And what John left in the loo after having his ass handed to him by Simca, apparently. >.>
-
Someone attempted flirting with me during this event, but it was about as subtle as pointing to her crotch and yelling "GIT IN MAH BABY CAVE!" - let it be known, ladies, that Istvaan Shogaatsu is a man of discerning taste, and will not join you in your bedchambers unless seduced with a big bag of space cocaine.
-
I love how much your character is like you... ;)

*takes notes*
Step 1) Procure big bag of space cocaine.
Step 2) Arrange for it to be dropped on Istvaan's head in grand Roadrunner-and-Coyote style.
...
Step 9) Negotiate all legal fees into the eventual payoff.
Step 10) Profit.
-
I greatly enjoyed the event. I enjoyed taking Jev's money via a bet on Simca in the fight as well :bear:
But seriously, much fun was had. Will I-Red be doing the next Malkalen memorial as well? (I forget when it is, so if it already happened and I forgot that too, don't worry about it)
-
Yes we will be doing the Malkalen memorial next year, this year we were pretty busy on that date.
-
I'm very saddened that I missed it, though I've been graciously provided logs. RL stabbed me in the back that day. :(
