Final Update
Thanks for the global screenies Omega and T79X, any and all screenshots are welcome since of course the few I took did not seem to come out
As I said last night, the party seemed to be a success. We had a very nice turnout, we had excellent music and crazy commentary (and the occasional ear piercing feedback) on JamHot Radio (he even played the Romanian national anthem for the winning team), and we generally had silliness and fun all around.
We had no items or services donated for party competitions, so Chopper and I covered them the best we could and folks seemed happy. We had some party competitions (myself,
Jamira and RJ judged the first two, thanks you two
) that all had prizes of 100ped and 5000 EFD (from all of that donated on this thread) and the winners were:
Best Dressed: Omega
Best Dancer: Jane Daggerthuggert
Find the Hidden Umbra: Amara Taroon
(Ace Skywalker dressed up in his Umbra suit and hid in the area around Chug's, the first person to find him and pm him 'WoF Rocks' was the winner. Some found him, pmed him but hadn't noticed in all chat what they had to say in the pm
)
Gratz to those winners and thank you so much Ace for agreeing to be my hide and seek guy
Next up we had
Chopper's Entropia Pub Quiz, which to me personally was the best part of the whole darn party, it was hilarious. Chopper asked a set of 10 questions on Entropia life, and gave away 10 prizes to the first ones to answer each question correctly. The ensuing all chat was insane and as Chopper gave away his 'things' 'crap' 'stuff' and 'whatyamacallits' JamHot had tears of laughter streaming down my face for sure in his announcements of this event. Deathifier is to blame of course for starting off the all chat comments after the first 'thing' was won, and it just got sillier from there
(thanks Deathifier for taking the trouble to be there with us for the Aussie contingent, even though you were so sleepy no doubt ). I was laughing too hard to note all of the winners, so
Chopper if you have a full list please post hon, I do remember that some (like Oleg) kept winning more than once and the shout outs of 'no fair' 'now he has two things' etc just made it all the funnier.
Then to cap it all off, we had the 'WoF Farewell' team hunt led by Ace. First we went off to try some Chomper Stalkers, we did get a few globals but they seemed to be somewhat greedy buggers who didn't want to give up too much for us. It was a blast though, thanks to all who came along. The team later finished off in smaller numbers on some Hoggs.
All in all it went very well, and I think Hurrikane enjoyed himself very much too There were loads of thank yous all around, and the 'appreciation gift' was given thanks to all of you who donated to the collection pot. I had intended to buy a nice 'item' for Hurrikane with the funds, but in his own generosity he had said to me that he did not want to be given more than some others who help him out so much in WoF, yet a split of the available funds meant I couldn't really buy him the sort of gift I had in mind, so after some consultation with my party 'assistant' Chopper, it was decided to simply pass the whole collection to Hurrikane, so that he could get himself something nice and share with the others as he saw fit. It is hoped that some of that may allow him to join in on the Glory Hounds Daspletor hunt coming up next weekend (He also received a gift from the heart from Mark Chopper Read that was passed to me earlier, which was his last remaining firecracker, thanks Mark!)
So, WoF is over for this year.
I updated the original post with all the names who helped to make the party and the appreciation gift happen, but once again a giant thank you to all of you who hopefully I mentioned on that op, I know times were hard for many of us lately, so it means a lot that you were willing and able to help out as much as you could, including all the EFD
Special thank you to JamHot, who has a new radio station on Entropia Radio, that was not yet ready to be announced, but he needed to use the stream to keep his promise to provide the party music as requested some months back. Thank you for that Jam, and best of luck with the new venture, it's sounding very promising.
Hurrikane has said that this was the final beta test of WoF, so I look forward to seeing you all next year for the bigger, better, new and improved WoF version 1.0
WoF On!!
