DW 250 Membership Party

[Basil Dreadflint]

We hit 250 members early in July. I waited to make sure the membership was stable above that point before planning a party.

NEXT Wednesday, August 5, Guild Night, a blowout extravaganza!


I haven't finalized all the arrangements yet, but plans are in the works for a few different events. Check back here for updates.

Yay!!! Sounds great Boss! I will be there with bells on BTW We do have the greatest Guild in the Game!!!! I really feel at home here with my DW Family.

[Richard Ironskull]

Alright I'm ready to do this thing!!!

[Sarah]

I think I see the gears turning...Can't wait to see what you're cookin up

[Basil Dreadflint]

YOU WILL NEVER GUESS!!!!

Not in a million years will any of you figure out my newest DW guild game creation! Hint: It is presented by the Dueces Wild no rep players!

[Richard Ironskull]

I bet we are...

You are right, I have no idea.

[lostmymarbles]

lol.. the no rep players.... what have you got planned for us lvl 40's?

I love this guild.

[Amelia Heartburn]

Will have to make sure I hit the sack as soon as I get home from work that morning.
Can't miss this one!!!

[Richard Ironskull]

I know last night I said I couldn't make it to the party but turns out I should be able to. Yay!

...or maybe not. Grrr silly girlfriend! I'll keep you all posted.

[Basil Dreadflint]

You go with the girfriend, send Pants ingame. (We all know that Pants does all the work and levelling and such, anyways.)

OK, since I already posted this for the officers. Can't have anyone say I played favorites. Here is 2 of the 3 new games for next weeks Guild night/ 250 Member Party.

Ocean TAG!

Draw an imaginary circle from PR, Devil's Anvil, Tort, Driftwood, and back to PR.
ALL SHIPS MUST STAY INSIDE THIS CIRCLE.
One person is "IT", all the rest are runners.
The runners sail in Galls and Frigates. The "IT" sails a sloop.
The goal is for the "IT" to tag a runner by ramming into them.
As each runner is tagged, they switch to an “IT”, but the original “IT” remains. The new “IT” HELPS the original one to chase the remaining ships. (Preferably, the new “ITs” change to Sloop class vessels in order to help.) This continues until there is only one runner remaining, who is then declared the winner.
If a runner is sunk by an enemy ship, they immediately become "IT".

Variation:
Once a runner is tagged, the person who was tagged becomes “IT”. They switch to a sloop and have to tag someone else.
The person who did the tag, changes to a runner and has to sail a gall or frigate.
The runners cannot port, they must always sail.
The "IT" can port at any time, and set sail from either of the 2 islands.



Little Pirates!

This game involves the little pirates doing big things!
2 pirates to a team. Any level pirates up to level 20 are fine, but the smaller, probably the better, to an extent.
Each team will have to defeat enemies much bigger than they are. The biggest difference wins.

Let's say a level 12 and a level 14 team up. Their average level is 12 + 14 = 26 / 2 = 13. They take on a level 24, and win.
24 enemy - 13 average pirate level = 11 difference points.

Next example, a level 6 and a level 9 take on a level 20 enemy and win. Their average level is 6 + 9 = 15 / 2 = 7.5
20 enemy - 7.5 average pirate level = 12.5 difference points.

The contest will run for 15 minutes. You get credit for every enemy you defeat.
Call out each enemy as you defeat them.
If either teammate goes to jail, that enemy doesn't count, even if the other teammate beats the enemy.
No screenies are required, but we do expect everyone to be honest.

No pirates above level 20 will be allowed to enter. (Level 20 is acceptable.) This prevents a level 40 and a level 2 from teaming up, averaging 21 and the level 40 goes and defeats all level 40's all by themself.

[Richard Ironskull]

Haha, these sound great.

I'm excited to do this. Hopefully I'll be able to make it.

I have a fast sloop, so maybe I'll volunteer to be the first IT.

Also, I think I might create another map for people to use as reference for the tag circle and publish it in this thread tonight. I'll let you look at it Basil to see if I have the circle about right.

[JM Ohara]

Oh this sounds great!! I have 2 pirates at 12 and 11. By that time my 30 days will be up. (Four weeks to the day today in fact.) and I can bring in my really new baby, Doc Hardy, who is as yet only a 5. Can't wait to do the ships tag. Oh man I love being a DW!

[Basil Dreadflint]

As we get closer to the party, I would like to try to put some oragnization into it. (Just a little. Gotta be OCD, guild requirement.) This will be one of our biggest events since Scavenger Hunt 3, so it does need a little bit of timing.

First, we will try to start around 8 Eastern. Ya, I know, That's even early for me.

We can run one or two times through the Little Pirates game, since it is timed at 15 minutes. Start planning out your teams, 2 per team. (This is the only game of the evening where anyone will earn any rep!)

Then, I have a another new game, presented by the No Rep Players. Not telling anyone just yet, other than Sarah and Kelly, since they are judges. Trust me on this one, it will either be a total blast, or else a total bomb. We will start this one at 9PM, and it should be over about 9:45.

Then we can play Ocean Tag. (Another No Rep Players presentation.) Richard is making a map of the play zone, and should have it posted soon. (Thanks Richard!)

More info will be posted as we get nearer to Guild Night.

This sounds so fun! Hey even if the secret game bombs it will still be fun with a bunch of crazy rum soaked pirates playing!! Nothing but fun with my guildies!!

[Insolent Mine Guild]

Have fun and Grats Deuces!
