This is JSA's first Xmas in PE ... and thought we would celebrate it by giving away gifts to new players to bringing a bit more holiday spirit into the game.
Two-thirds of the "Orange Crush" team (Jetboy, MS9, Blood Moon ... aka "Moonie") showed up at Port Atlantis last night (ok, the wee hourrs of the morning for us) and did a "Xmas Gift Giveaway" to the new players. Instead of dropping items in various places this go round, we decided to openly announce that we were giving out free Xmas gifts to new players. This way we had better control of who was getting what.
We decided ... to get a total of 15 Opalo rifles and 15 M2100 pistols from the TT and give them out to those new players who needed a weapon. They had their choice until we ran out. Jetboy and I were on Skype so that we were able to ask each other if so-and-so got a gift already. That way we didn't have anyone trying to take advantage ... although it happened to me, and it was someone I had already given a weapon to.
When we arrived at Port Atlantis ... we were decked out in our Xmas Orange (didn't have anything red and white ... will have to work on that for next year) ...

We made an announcement ... that we were giving away Xmas gifts to Freelancers. Since there's so much trade going on at PA, the announcement moved rather quickly, and no one was coming to the monument where we stood to do the giveaway. Jetboy suggested that I take some of my armor off and look a little more sexy, since that seems to work as a draw in game most of the time (male thinking of course) ... and so I did.

It didn't work at first ... so I suggested to Jetboy that maybe I should "Git Jiggy Wit It" to cause a little stir. He said it can't hurt ... and so I did.

The combination of ... "Gittin' Jiggy Wit It" and making another announcement in the chat window seemed to work this time, since Jetboy realized a crowd was coming our way.

I got excited about giving away Xmas gifts ... but Jetboy said it looked like a stampede and tried to hold them back a bit with some hand waving.
