WOW ... what a NIGHT ... it was non-stop activity for 5-1/2 hours ... what a crazy-ass time we all had. Oh ya, I have proof and will be posting a video as soon as I can for sure. We started off dancing on the pier as usual for a bit, while we waited for everyone to show up, but then there are people who show up all night.
Anyway ... once we had the bigger crowd going, I held a dance contest and ended up picking 2 male and 2 female dancers (Male = Kruts and Salix ... Female = Kiri and Calli) ... they were just that good. After a bit, we took the gang to the MSR party island where we danced more, but then had a couple of swim contests.
First swim contest ... the 1st place winner of 100 ped was Dirk Rand, but he donated his winnings back into the contest pool (thank you DR) ... so I had an additional swim contest to determine a male and female winner. Then 2nd place was Adam Heineken who won 50 ped, but he's going to purchase "Glow Sticks" (TT swords) for those who don't have them during our Athena Spaceport TP Run at 21:00 on Saturday (thank you Adam) ... and the 3rd place winner of 25 ped was Kruts, who is a relative newbie himself, so I insisted he keep the ped.
Second swim contest ... there was a male and female winner, each winning 50 ped, and they were ... Male = Kruts ... and Female = CyberTrash. So congratulations to all the swim contest winners.
Then ... we went back to the pier at Corinth Beach from the MSR party island and I held 4 TT fist boxing rounds, each worth 50 ped for the last person standing. We had quite a crew still and it made for some really crazy fun. I took footage of it and it will appear in my video when I can get to it, hopefully sometime on Saturday. If I recall correctly ... CyberTrash (Irken Invaders) won the first round, Wildman (Alpha Wild D3amons) won the second round, Daniel (NBK Miners) won the third round, and Wildman again won the 4th round. Congratulations to the boxing winners as well.
I have to say ... the whole night was non-stop crazy fun, and we always have a wild group out at MidNite Moods. Come on down to the pier at Corinth Beach and join us some Friday night at midnight in-world time for the fun ... that's where we start at the beginning, but we don't stay there long, because we are a very active group, and we like to keep it moving.
Here are some photos ... I'll post the video as soon as I can ...

Back at Corinth Beach ... getting ready for me to give the word about the contest that Adam Heineken sponsored by hiding an SGA knife with a markup of about 65 ped ... thank you Adam, that was a nice spontaneous surprise, and generous prize donation ...

And speaking of spontaneous surprises ... there were quite a few people who donated Pixie armor and a few weapons and other things for the newbies that we will gather up on Saturday and Sunday to run to Swamp Camp and TP's ... like Shew, tamlin ... oh, I know I'm going to forget somebody ... I HAVE to write this stuff down, but there's always so MUCH activity going on, so if I don't mention you, PLEASE post here.
Also ... TOAST from Chicago Hardcore Gamers stopped by just to donate an item worth 105 ped TT, and I will be using that as a prize during my Flashback Oldies show on Sunday, so thank you VERY much TOAST, that is generous of you my dear and long-time friend (and favorite pyromaniac).
There's no 2 ways about it ... MSR (and me too
) have the most amazing friends and supporters ever, and soon, I will be launching the official
MSR Ambassadors roster, along with the privileges and perks that come along with being an MSR Ambassador. I'm putting together the details and will reveal this special project soon, so stay tuned to the MSR sub-forum for the announcement.
Ok, that's it for me ... my tired purple ass needs to go get some REST. Thank you to ALL of you for your continued and dedicated support. I'm just overwhelmed at times ... but that's when I'm not going at ...
MachStar9 with my hair on fire.
Be back later ... see ya at the Athena Spaceport TP Run at 21:00!
