Don't know why you guys are getting all up in arms about this.

Perhaps because any time anyone in Kingship says anything, a road block gets thrown up.

"We're doing this!  We're purposely doing it after your standing event"
"Wow, we're doing it 2 hours earlier in place of our usual thing! We'd invite you but the place is too small."
"Oh okay.  Well, we're behind the Cath."
"That works well.  We're in the Blue Recluse.  Wait, no, we're behind the Cath.  Still too small a location though."

etc etc.

It's kind of wearing thin when we intentionally tried to work around their schedule and the like, but every time we make a concession there's something extra in the way.

((I just want to say, that when Tesra went to talk to ya'll about where we were going to have it, she obviously didn't realize we were having it at the gazebo, which was where we had planned on having it the whole time. So, when she went to talk to you, she went there with that mistaken notion. I had absolutely zero idea you were planning this, nor have we 'purposely' done anything. So saying otherwise is really being very presumptuous. Needless to say, I was astonished when I saw Colleena's post about this event, and had the thought in the back of my mind that perhaps KOE had heard about what -we- had planned and intended on duplicating -our- event, but I dismissed it as purely coincidental. Just throwing that out there.))

Don't get me wrong, and apologies if it came off as such, I don't think you're intentionally trying to stifle us.  It's just that every time we make an accommodation it seems there's some other problem caused that we have to try and bend over backwards to fix.

((As I previously explained, I didn't -want- this to be a huge event, because when it is, it's very hard to keep track of what's going on with the amount of people that are helping with the organization process. So, keeping that in mind, I went to the -smaller- RP guilds and did not post the event here for that very reason, and  I invited the smaller guilds, because I didn't want this to become a 5-6 hour affair by inviting the larger guilds. And if you've lead one of these before, then you would understand how difficult it is to keep up with chat, even with a medium sized group.

When I found out about this one by reading the forums, I was entirely shocked. I'd already planned it, and it's been in the planning stages for months. I was actually going to have it near Sweetest Day, but I decided it would be better to have it during the Valentine's Day event. We're not intentionally doing anything to stifle you guys. It was bad (perfect, however you view it) timing for both our guilds to have this event two days after Valentine's Day during the festival. It's unfortunate that it worked out that way. I guess "great minds think alike" (or as some would probably think, I'm giving myself too much credit, and I would probably concur with that.)

I really do hope that you have a nice event. I hope that it's successful, and I hope that many people attend your event. I hope that the people that were invited and said they were participating, -do indeed- participate in the HB event.

It's crappy it worked out this way, but we can make the best of it. Just go with it as planned. Hopefully ours is over by the time you want to start yours. That's my only concern at this point.))

(( I think that any anomosity surrounding such things is not very condoning to our community. Hinik attempted to fix issues and those issues should be fixed, imo. 

Also, Sunsworn was in the process of planning something very similiar but cancelled those plans when we saw this announced --- precisely because of silly "omg they be copying us man" stuff that's bound to happen.


Let's all just be big kids and get over it, yea? These types of things are very silly. 

Sometimes, one play is scheduled at the same time as another play... I have to figure out which one I'm going to show up to and no one gets all "OMG YOUR PLAY IS SCHEDULED THE SAME AND OMG YOU'RE DOING ALMOST THE SAME PLAY WE ARE!". 

It is all just very silly.

No reason you can't host a date auction for the other faction. You should get Ravenhul to participate so Flo can come and bid to screw with him.

It's an IC event, and one would logically assume that IC most characters would have some attraction to the opposite sex of their own race, excluding Forsaken. Plus everybody wants blood elves.

So are you a bad RPer or someone that doesn't RP at all?

It should be if your character is keen, not if you are personally.

That is a bold-faced lie, sir.

Anyway, I really don't think it's strange to have events pop up one after another that are similar or exactly the same.  For example, Earthspear Clan hosts a story night, as other guilds probably did before them.  They've hosted this story night, once a month, since their creation (barring a few months in the summer when they quieted down, I believe).  Just recently, someone from Sentinels said they had plans in the works to make a similar event on the Alliance side.  Shortly after THAT Colleena announces her intentions to make one as well.

There are only so many ways to host a party in the world of warcraft.  Guilds having similar ideas for holiday events should not be a surprise by any means.

^ This. There's no originality in events you can hold anymore. Across several MMOs the two most popular events are stories and date auctions. If you can think of it, chances are it's been done somewhere else, and someone else had a similar idea. The fact that it's Valentine's Day, I'm surprised no one else has had another public date auction sooner.

I'm still not sure if I'll sign Florena up. OOC I want to, but OOC...that's another matter. Last time they got all the other house lords in KOTE to do it, so Flo went along with it, but not sure it'll happen this time. Didn't help that last time Flo's arch nemesis bought her auction just to fuck her with too. (And not the fun kind either. )

OOC:

I had some meaningful, properly guild masteryish responses that both displayed my penchant for articulation and profound understanding of the confluence we're observing. In rare moment of brevity I will instead compose my summation with the following.

sorry but from my point of view you all ugly beings, and yes I guess all you monsters have the right to preserve your kind and mate. However, I wouldn't think you will pay for a date. I though you trolls were like "oh fuck I am an ugly troll, finding an ugly partner is gonna suck."
