Party time
Party time
Hi everyone.
We're planning a Solstice party in Shadgard - nothing as fancy and elaborate as the Mistral balls of former winters, of course, but just something to get together and play together and have fun, we hope. You know, food, drink, intrigue, dancing, a chance to dress up a little bit, a chance to RP and be as silly/dramatic/romantic/mysterious/whatever as seems good to the individuals taking part.
The question I have is one of timing - what would be a good time to allow people in other parts of the world and in much different time zones to have a half-decent chance to join in if they are so inclined? We're looking at this coming Sunday - Lightsday the 17th in game - and were thinking of starting about 4 game time, but really don't know if that would be helpful to people who don't always have the opportunity to take part in frivolous stuff like this. Before we post about it in game I was hoping some of you might be able to assist.
So.....help us out here with suggestions for the most generally inclusive starting time please! And thank you.

Re: Party time
I think it's wonderful that you're being considerate and making sure as many people can participate.
I work from home so I'm a bit more flexible than most, but I think four game time is pretty decent. Not so late for the east coast players in the USofA to also join.
I suspect this thing will go on for ages, so even if people aren't there from the start, they will still be able to throw in their madness.
Can't wait!

Re: Party time
I suppose 4 si close enough to my wake time so either I'll be able to join around that time or a bit before or after. I'm going to help however I can before the time, in case I'm late that day.
Re: Party time
I think that is a decent time for USA people!
Re: Party time
I'd like to request a more neutral venue if that seems feasible and IC. I know with recent game events, most people can go between towns freely now, but some are still restricted from one or the other.
Re: Party time
Unless it's held outside, I'm not sure where we could hold it. The Hanged Man isn't exactly ... well, I don't know. Maybe it'd work? Maybe it'd give it somewhat of a better reputation? But that's still near Shadgard. I really wish we had someplace in Emberlight where we could meet. It'd be a nice place.
Thoughts? Also, Lamia, that's so kind of you, thinking of people not from the U.S. Very sweet.

We want to keep out as many of those filthy sorcerers as we can, without directly saying it. Oops, I said it.

Re: Party time
Some venue suggestions, Morhollow's Roasting pit, the Laughing Salamander, more fond of the former idea myself as the latter seems a bit anti-winter.
It's about 1 AM my time, but I have a terrible sleep schedule and can be convinced to stay up for anything!

Stop putting watermellons into the first thing you see that looks like it can hold a watermellon. It is most rude, because you'll only make them feel like they don't belong.
Re: Party time
Haha, yep. That's why I said if it's IC. If the party is meant to be exclusive then it's definitely in the right place As for location, I didn't have anywhere specific in mind.
Re: Party time
Well, there's planned to be dancing and such merrymaking. I don't know if these places would support such things without prior reservation. But at this point, it should probably be taken in character.
