Summerfaire 2012! (planning and schedule thread)

Postby AKA Azure » Wed Jun 20, 2012 10:23 pm

Several years back Alfin Slowhand 'invented' Summerfaire by asking several individuals to get together and help organize events, ceremonies and ways for folks to just have a fun time. Each year since it's been held in one form or another. It is a player-run holiday with people holding all kinds of gatherings. It does not belong to one guild or group as anyone can host events or contests, but some organization is needed. Since I didn’t touch my nose fast enough, it seems I’m doing the typing for this playerbased event.

Let's get to planning Summerfaire again!

While specific dates will need to be set for individual events, I'd like to set the day framework and send out a call for interested individuals to contact me if they'd like help planning or hosting an event, contest etc.


We can set an event listing here so folks don't have events overlapping timewise. (Basic rule of thumb - ingame events should be at least 2 hours apart from each other.)

Now to the meat of the matter:

Summerfaire will run between July 14 and July 29. That way, even if you can't make some events due to work, vacations, etc. you might be able to make others.

The opening ceremony can be held on the 14th (Saturday) As always all are welcome to attend.

The closing ceremony can be held on Sunday, July 29.

Specific times will be announced within the Summerfaire thread for events, and I'll come back here to provide updates. A few days before Summerfaire begins a specific detailed list will be posted.

If you have an event of contest you want to hold with this time frame, me know. If you have a general interest in holding an event (alone, with friends, or with your entire guild) as part of Summerfaire, post your intent here and we can work out dates, times and an overall calendar.

Feel free to message me here or in game. Let's have a gathering of fellowship and fun as we have with past Summerfaires.


I include this thread so you can see how things have been organized in the past viewtopic.php?f=29&t=10566

People post here their event time/date and then I do a post showing the start and stop times. If you are running a contest, feel free to announce it here, but start your own contest thread for the questions and answers. If you forget to post it here, I’ll still try to include its concluding date.

I will try to post the start times in both EST (or whatever it’s called this part of the year) and BST.

Bonfire is cancelled. I will hand out prizes at a later date. So sorry.

HONOR will be having a Riddle Race. I have made a thread for it http://forums.darkgrimoire.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=10883 and will announce times/dates probably later this week. Of course there will be prizes!

The bonfire will be July 21 from 8-10pm EST at the Honor house. To get to the Honor house, go one north of the life monument in Dundee. From there go west till you can't go west any further. Then go north as far as you can. Then west until you hit the HONOR courtyard. You're there! I'm supposing the party will be mostly in the courtyard but please feel free to explore the house. *smiles* There is nothing you can break as it is meant to be a home and to be lived in! Please, make yourself at home!

Calamon Bluestone wrote:One and all are invited to participate in GoRE’s Summerfaire event, Valorn Footwear Frenzy, being held in the fair grounds at GoRE halls. Directions can be found below. The event will take place on July 15th at 7pm EST and will last up to 12 marcs. Refreshments will be available before the games and in between rounds.

Valorn Footwear Frenzy
1. Each participant will use the Item number of the item they are currently wearing on their feet.
(How to get item number explained below.)
2. The caller will randomly call out numbers from 0 to 9 till a player matches 6 numbers. If an item number has multiples of the same number only 1 of these numbers may be marked off at a time.
Example: Item number is 38636806. Since there are three 6's in the number when a 6 is called it will match up the first 6. Later, if a 6 is called again now two 6s are matched.
3. The first player to correctly match six numbers and call out Valorn wins the round.
4. The winner will randomly pick a prize from the prize box by picking a number and getting the corresponding prize.

The list of prizes so far (Will be in random order before the start)
100 plat
200 plat
300 plat
Doorway Crystal
Blank Amulet of the Order
Lesser Glowing Amulet of the Order
Treasure box
Golden age Teleport scroll to Dundee

You are encouraged to contact me with more prize suggestions http://www.darkgrimoire.com/cshow105290.html

How to get the item number:
(This is found by left clicking on the item and in the address bar looking for the number. /ishow38636806.Stygian+Boots.html. The item number is 38636806.)

Directions to GoRE’s Fair Grounds
From the southern Life Monument of Dundee head west along the swamp path until you reach Duberry’s swamp. Take the north swamp path until you see a western fork. Walk west and follow the path south to a broken life monument. GoRE halls are west of you at this point.
From the Demon Boneyard, go north to GoRE’s library then through the north door to our magnificent garden. Enjoy our garden for a time before taking the walking trail north to the fair grounds.

This event may be ran at other times as well

Shieldwall's Garden Party

Postby Topaz » Fri Jul 20, 2012 3:20 pm

Summerfaire is here, and Shieldwall invites you to a garden party. There will be food, good company, and possibly music.

We invite our guests to arrive dressed to emphasize a particular color. (Think of Azure as an example.) Prizes will be given for the best, most beautiful, and most amusing outfit.

The party will be held on Friday, July 27, at 12:00 noon EST in the garden of the Shieldwall estate. To find it, go north from Milltown, west at the mountain pass, north at the Mountain Retreat path, and east at the cracked Life Monument.
