Now that i have your attention i would like to announce,as some of you already know, that this month marks WOD's 5th year in operation. Several of us have gotten together to make arrangements for a party marking WOD's anniversary.

Ciara and Rod have graciously offered the Haunt as the place. The party is to be on next Wednesday, August 25th. (ill get back to you on exact time)

OK....other than that what i need from you is suggestions on how this party could be something special. I have already had some good suggestions but i know some of you are very creative in this area. Post your WOD 5th Anniversary party suggestions here or PM me.

I think this is cause for a celebration. A lot of people spend great amounts of their time here (including me) and we should celebrate its birthday.
Yes, i have 400 bottles of wine left over from Scott's Birthday party and this is a good excuse to get rid of it ....

So post your suggestions here so we can make this anniversary party something to remember.

Pin the tail on the GM/Seer/Admin

An Orion pinata?

How about Azzo in the Dunk Tank?

Anyway I was halfway serious. You could do something like have an admin show up, cast nox on everyone, run around and whoever is the closest to them when the spell is lifted wins.

I figured that the admins might want to participate since it is 5 years, a pretty big milestone.

I'll sit in the dunk tank if ye fill it with Royal Reserve.

Maybe there could be a birthday Quest? Don't know if Admin will break 'tradition' of failing to "exist"..

Here's a few things I could think of. Feel free to suggest/improve/ignore completely/etc as usual.

But, we could have (any or all):

Buffless hunts
Nudie runs through a dungeon
Alcohol drinking contests
Sheep shearing contest (Hey, I'm Australian, mate ) PvP tourney
Boat races
Big group treasure hunts
Something like the tournament on Buc's Den ages back
Player-piece chess competition on the big board
Squeeze-everyone-into-the-smallest-deeded-house game
Horse racing contests
Hands Across Britannia (probably not enough people..)
Poetry readings and story telling

Some of them are quite complex, while others are simple. I figured that I'd brainstorm everything I could think of, because maybe there's something there the players can do, or the Admin, or anyone! 5 years is pretty big, so it doesn't hurt to be creative.

The one in bold is what I'd go for. It was very fun, and all the players enjoyed it. Though, unless people are willing to donate their tokens and such, I doubt it would be doable. So maybe some sort of variant?

Anyway, there's my suggestions, which I don't think ar half bad at all! I'd love to see a sheep shearing contest!

I'm really hoping there is some kind of quest planned for that day but its not really my forte.
There was a running joke for a while that we would put on a player auction.
Im not sure how tasteless people would find this but i think it would be extremely fun.
By player auction i mean we auction off people to the highest bidder for a kinda slave for a day.
The proceeds all go to a raffle everyone at the party will participate in.
If we can get enough people who are willing to be auctioned the grand prize would be pretty substantial.
And just think what kind of stir this will cause for weeks to come.
Also i have already had some pretty exceptional prizes donated for a few raffles.

Marius, how come im not surprised you would suggest the nudie dungeon run?....I am disappointed i didnt think of it first.

I would be happy to offer Keelarr or Gramps for auction, me myself though, I doubt anyone would bid. (mainly cause I would ummm be so expensive)

Thanks Azzo

I have had to come up with some ground rules for the auction:

I can only have 10 people....5 ladies and 5 gentlemen. If you win a slave then you cant bid anymore..1 slave per person.

These are the people who are willing to put themselves on the auction block so far:

Aislin Darknwald
Belle Remming
Bronwyn
Henna


Scott Myr
Azzo Ranar or Gramps
ShadowStone
Twilight Silvermoon
Kappa Illusion


I know there are a few of you who want to do this.
I can only pick 10 but all might be used if time allows and/or someone doesnt show up...so come on this is gonna be a lot of fun. Sign up now.

There are gonna be large cash prizes, Memorablia, good eats, good drinks and lots of friendly faces.

Lets celebrate 5 years of WOD together!
