Welcome to Gaia! ::

You can cross out fundraising. I will voluntarily sponser this room financially without any premise on creative limitations or any strings attached whatsoever. It just happens to be that I am rich, and I never spend the money, so I got it covered!

::EDIT::

Oh, and I have also found a artist/roleplayer combo and another roleplayer.

Really? eek Are you sure Moo? I don't want too much of a financial burden to fall on any one person. I was planning on donating some to the room, and Ink has already said that she was going to. I'm sure that others would be willing to donate as well.

You found more potential co-hosts? If they're sure that they're up for the commitment, send them our way! blaugh If we have enough people, we might even end up with a couple NPC's. It would be nice to have some that aren't controlled on mule accounts while we're controlling our main characters on another account. (I did that last time, and it was HARD!)

If we won't have to worry too much about fundraising, I guess we can think about what kinds of games to do. Most rooms have a tektek contest of some sort. I did a game last year that was a big hit. It had a few hundred pages of gameplay, and I ended up giving out about 225k and a letter as prizes for that game. (I was given 100k for prizes, and I donated the difference.) It was a random number game with five different sets of numbers to use, each with increasing difficulty, and the first person to clear all five levels got a letter. The room I was in last year also had a riddle game. It was fun, but riddle duty can be a huge challenge when you log on after having been offline for an hour, only to find that you have about 80 PMs in your inbox all for the riddle game. xp It was hard some I actually got some sort of sick and twisted satisfaction from it. confused I'll be honest. I didn't really look too carefully at the other games since I wasn't directly involved with those. Does anyone have any good game ideas that went over really well? We can always examine the games from last year to see which ones were hits.

@Crystal - I didn't PM her yet. I've been so busy with this and that, I guess I forgot. I was hosting a guild event almost single handedly for the past 12 or 13 days, and it is finally coming to a close. I do guild events every few months to keep activity high in a guild I inherited 2 1/2 years ago. I don't know if you care anything about it or not, but you can look at the event subforum in that guild by clicking on the link I have in my sig.

I also didn't realize that you were a last minute addition to the co-host list! I mean, playing Zeus and all, I thought that you had been a key part of the plot from early on! I see now why you might be a bit confused on what to do. But, I'll do my best to help out! We have this thing in the bag!

@Moo. Now that you mention it, I haven't been involved in a serious roleplay in months! I was planning on joining in with one of the rooms in the Crystal Ball that broken made, but I haven't done that yet. I hope it's not too late. sweatdrop

@Ink - The game that I was talking about was so successful because it had a high level of interest and gameplay without breaking the bank. While it's tempting to give out lots of great prizes, it gets kind of hard to fund. The trick is figuring out the minimum prize that you can give while still keeping a high level of interest. To be honest, I was surprised that I ended up giving away so much gold having the odds as low as I had them.

@Crystal again - As far as the ball funds go, it almost seems like a relief to just have everyone donate. I would rather go to CVS, but a $10 cash card, invest it a little in the marketplace, and then donate a million gold than have to man a donation shop/raffle thread for weeks on end, only to get about 50-100k in the end. I mean, sure, we still need to do some stuff like that to get word about the ball out, but it's a relief having in mind that our room gold isn't soley based upon on things. I'm not sure how everyone else feels about it though. Those are just my feelings.

We now have 200k in the room mule! Ink made a donation last night. I'm going to put some in too whenever I get around to buy some cash and playing the market. I always end up breaking the bank whenever I make enough to buy what I want. If I were more patient, I would keep investing until I made a good chunk to work with before buying my prize item, but that rarely happens. sweatdrop

being unemployed = loads of free time blaugh

Hey! Btw, I just saw in the plot committee thread that the plot is ready! As far as I know, it hasn't been posted anywhere, but I have a good feeling that we're going to be able to get this show on the road soon! xd

There's a wombat but erm last I knew they were nothing like sloths...What about a cow? Cows are lazy until you cheese them off or milk them ( which I would be too I s'pose). I see not a sloth nor sloth-like animal to be quipped. Howver once Sloth is made/created I will gladly draw he/she with a sloth...even if it is for my own enjoyment.
Are we doing a zombie sleepover? lol
Jammie time!

Thanks for the update even though I just noticed it...snort.
Yeah I've changed my username a few times and people think my account got hacked...it did once but on an old one...NOT this one. lmao...
So whats the update Chief(s)?!!
