Well, after months of waffling on this event, we're finally getting it off the ground. The party will start friday the 29th, and will proceed through Sunday the 1st. Channels, and other information will be provided as the event approaches, to those who RSVP. Please RSVP in the thread or by evemail if you intend to go, as we'll be distributing information by evemail.

Mmm.. I need a wormhole fit :)

Okay, here's some clarification, as we had some confusion on the IGS thread:
This will be an entirely in-channel event, save for a few trusted friends we might invite in ship-form. For everyone else, there will be a procedure very much like the ones you've seen for other large scale RP channel events (thank you Silas for the format, I will happily nab it), essentially, everyone on the RSVP list will be given a channel via evemail, this channel will represent an area on our known space HQ station in Suroken, it'll be public. We will process the party-goers there, check them for weapons and the like, and provided they are cleared, they will be invited to the actual festival grounds channels. The festival grounds channels will be in blocked mode, and only those invited there will be able to get in. ICly, at this point, the party-goers will board corporate shuttles heading for Origin, our system. The event will last three days, friday, saturday, and sunday, there will be one channel for the 'event grounds' one channel for the 'trails/camping area' and possibly one other for the tours of the research facility. Its well understood that OOCly, no one will be able to actually RP for three days straight, so when you have to leave, your character can just 'go back to their campsite'.

And here I thought I actually have to get my character into that wormhole in a Shuttle.

I am embarassed to say, so did I! And I was trying to ponder the risks and mechanics of that! Blonde moment, I know....

I just thought that in a game where your actions have consequences, I should actually go physically if I say I am going.

Well, we wanted to have an RP event that lots of people could participate in, but letting a bunch of random people into Origin would be terrible for security, and would basically be an open invitation for anyone who thought it would be fun to try and evict us to send a fleet in. So as much as it would be cool, its just not viable. We will probably let a few trusted people in, but it would have to be people we know are safe not just IC but OOC as well.
Otherwise yeah, it'll be just another channel RP event, but we hope we can at least make it a fun and memorable one for everyone who attends, while helping to progress the storyline of our faction, and deepen our internal roleplay. I expect it to be a lot of fun, and I hope lots of you decide to attend.

*laughs* you know Luna's first podding when was when she tried to go to the Broken Piano or The Last Gate (I forget which) in person since I try to be physically present where the rp is! Goonswarm warp bubble/gate camp is not a rp'ers friend :(
Still I understand Saede's point and I may see if I can send an Alt to the party, especially since I don't need to probe down the place! :D
-
That was my first podding too! I tried a run to the Last Gate and got within about three jumps before a gate camp got me. It was my first day playing Eve, so they got a pod worth absolutely nothing and no ship. Not even metal scrap!
-
I almost always travel to the on-site RP locations.
But I have gotten very good at moving around cloaky or no, sixty to two hundred jumps a day will make you never sweat a gatecamp =)
THE RP WILL NOT BE STOPPED BY YOUR INFERIOR BUBBLE PLACEMENT.

Well, you can try to find us. :twisted:
-
lol, see, and "terribly for security" was translated by a compatroit of mine as "they'll roll the hole, and you'll all be trapped" >:)
-
WTB static entrance location :yar:
Sounds like a great event!
-
While I definitely understand people's desires to really immerse and be in the system mechanically, I will (obviously) second Saede's position. It might not be "hardcore" roleplay, but living in wspace is a pretty intense experience as it is.
And yes Arista, we like to manipulate our wormholes to mislead, confuse, trap, or deter unwanted visitors.

I'll admit it. I'd been hoping to slip a scanny ship into the system. :bear:

Yeah, you and everyone else. We saw that coming and that's why we went "nuh uh" :P

Tsk tsk tsk.

By the way, nicely done event. It would be nicer with more people, but it was one of the best RP events I've been involved in.
I really loved the dynamic MOTD updates, in fact I wish they would have been done more consistently in all the three areas.
Thanks to everyone involved I can truly say:
