GuildWiki talk:Wintersday/Party

I want this party to be held. I'm going to found a guild and buy a guild hall if there is no other way. And it's a bad idea to delete the preparations page just because someone decides they don't want to host it any longer. So what date should it be? The time is likely to be from 9 pm GMT (4 pm eastern) to whenever. --◄mendel► 19:23, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

x means you can probably come if the party is on that date.

I'm not coming, neither is Salad or Felix as far as I know. (T/C) 20:13, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * We never said we wouldn't come; just that he is out of town from 19-24, and I'm gone from 26-3. --Shadowcrest 20:15, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not a party if I'm not there. Blah, fine. I'll go mark the 25th. >.> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:56, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't go any day from the 24th onward.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Fear.]]îğá†ħŕášħ 04:19, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You guys start this right when Hanukah starts... Too bad. That means I can't come. Probably gonna be off the computer for a week or so because of Hanukah (Gonna go up to my cousins house, to celebrate). LostShadow 04:25, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't like the choice of day either but it really ends up as whichever day the most people can come...I don't think we'd have enough party stuff for more than one party, and people are running on tight schedules. >.> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry, but that's how it is - 2 out of 3 years you'll be fine as Hanukkah is earlier then. The problem plagues everybody else as well as the Christmas holidays are family time for some, so we're not free on all of these days either. But on the other hand choosing days outside the Christmas / Wintersday time means it's not really a Wintersday party. (I have no objections to having parties outside of Wintersday, but this one shouldn't be). --◄mendel► 20:09, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hum, Christmas is looking like the day, I guess. Unfortunately then I can't make it as my family is in charge of Christmas this year, AGAIN. Which also means availability is limited before and we'll probably be cleaning up on Boxing Day. Say, Wintersday also encompasses New Years, dunnit? I don't suppose that setting the party around then is doable, is it? That'd be great, for me at least, and it might be good for people who need to set up for/are going away for Christmas/Hanukkah/whatever. Qing Guang 01:06, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I've got some fireworks left over from... whenever the event was that we got them. Not sure which day i'll be there, though.--Darksyde  08:16, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion
How about announcing this in the Riverside Inn or Community News, Contests, and Events forum of GuildWarsGuru? You would get more people and more fireworks/alcohol/consumables/etc. Unless this was supposed to be a small party for Guildwikians. ♥ Mis fate ♥ 15:59, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thats actually quite a good idea &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 16:01, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well this was supposed to be for GWiki people...it's not that I would mind more people, but having a suitable amount of party stuff becomes a problem, plus the fact that "we" wouldn't know "them" so the party may get kind of segregated. Also, because of the limit (see below section), we'd be holding it in an outpost...that means that we'd need to stay together and kinda have the place to ourselves, and the more people there are the harder that would get. I dunno. I guess it depends how many people can actually come - there's <10 right now so a few more wouldn't hurt. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:33, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Guild Guest Limit
iirc, you can only have up to 10 people guested at a time. Which might pose problems if you want more than 10 people not in your alliance to show up.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 21:24, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe you can host it in an empty district somewhere instead of Entropy's guild hall. How hard can it be to find an empty district in a dying game? ♥ Mis fate ♥ 21:27, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Shoot, I didn't realize there was a limit. The problem with using an outpost is that people don't necessarily have it, or even have the appropriate campaign. I would suggest Ice Tooth Cave, since it's deserted, snow/icy, and close enough to Lion's Arch so that a few of us could set up group runs there. The problem is that people without Prophecies would be excluded, and I really don't like that idea. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:38, 30 November 2008 (UTC)


 * So we do the big mule alliance? --◄mendel► 22:54, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Edit ConflictQQ:Wish we could crash Wona's estate in the Togo BMP mission. It's big and winter-y. Lol. Maybe we could have it in the back-area of Zaishen Challenge? It's a Core area and has a nice waterfall, although it's not snow/icy. The big mule alliance thing sounds good, although people might have to leave their guilds or leave their alliance. ♥ Mis fate ♥ 22:58, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't have a problem with my mule leaving my guild, and everybody's mains would get guest invites from the mules. --◄mendel► 23:35, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Maybe if they introduce something new this year (haha that's a good one) there will be some interesting new place to hang out.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  00:52, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If a new place was introduced it would be totally full, and thus no good for a party. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:59, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Blah. Some place on the PvP islands would be the only option for Core, then. >.> I don't have access to foreign language districs, though... (T/C) 04:33, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Some outposts in the shiverpeaks are deserted even in American Districts, and that area is "wintery" enough.--<font color="Blue">TheHunger <font color="ForestGreen">talk  <font color="ForestGreen">''My contributions  19:00, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Prophecies != core [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Ever since the incident with the blind monkey, the midget sailor and the one-legged whore she's forbidden to leave her district. Or was that the one-legged monkey, the blind sailor and the midget whore? I forget these things. --◄mendel► 12:01, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Proph isn't core, but it's snowy. But EotN is even more snowy. So if we can't find a decent core place, go for Proph EotN. But Hero Battles looks soooooo much more party-like than Zaishen Elite. But w/o the ability to use foreign districts...--<font face = "comic sans ms" color = "#200040">Darksyde  14:00, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like my international ban has been lifted as of last night. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:51, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I feel that fewer people would have no EotN than those who would have no Proph... especially since Prophecies is now $10. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 01:57, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That doesn't even make sense: Proph is cheaper than EotN so less people will have it? --◄mendel► 02:41, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Mistake with double negatives i guess, fewer ppl have eotn than prof. also eotn needs another game to get so, blah, just more stuff supporting more ppl with profAkbaroth 18:26, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, fortunately this year I have all games but not everyone does (and EotN is probably a lot of people's last priority, I would think). I vote GToB - lots of open space and it isn't all that bad really. Pity we can't use fireworks there, na? Oh, and Traditional Chinese is one of the best districts - my guildies and I go to China when we're having lag or playing hide and seek (haha), and I've seen about 2 other people there, total. Qing Guang 01:00, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * (had an idea) Hey, maybe we could set up a chart on the page for who would be able to go where, kind of like the availability chart? Qing Guang 14:42, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Or We could just make it simple. Have it Ice tooth cave and i'll run anyone that doesnt have it there. Ideally in groups of more than 1 but whatever. Its a nice cosy, quiet town with lots of snow, alternativly we could do marhans grotto and i could run people from Droknars to marhans, if you want something a bit "lighter". Happy to help Wild...   This is Cake Townz!  16:24, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem then lies with people who don't have the prophecies campaign. You can't run someone to somewhere in a campaign they don't have.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 16:49, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * But surely its the one the most people own? Ah well either way let knoe if you need me to be designated driver for the party. Wild...   This is Cake Townz!  18:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

event list
May I tell puns? I have some really good ones! (Guild Wars related, of course.) AnOriginalConcept 05:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * ...that's no plague creature, that's my wife! I think that if you stick to punes, or plays on words, then you should be OK. We don't really have any sort of "event list" for teh party other than 1) Show Up and 2) Have fun, so I am sure we could use a court jester.
