On Thursday Oct 13, both my glitch and I leveled up to 26. All Contests now have their winners posted!

The party was at 3176 Buckward Vale Quarter and was taken to the street. The party ran from 6:00-10:00 PM Pacific Daylight (California) time, A countdown was provided by Tazuras. Ten winners got a prize bag worth 28k! There was also over 20k worth of food, drinks, herbs, crops, favors, but the 140+ attendees finished it off quickly! Glitchen eat FAST.

Here is a sample of one of the Prize Bags .
The Party Room had tons of food, all prepared by a master chef.
The Game Room had food, AND drinks.
The Patio served as an open bar with over 12 varieties of mixed drinks, plus beer.
Finally, the Garden had high yield crops, tons of herbs, and lots of purple.

There will be 10 competitions happened like this

Here is the time table for the party:
6:00PM: My house doors became open to the public. So many glitcheen requested entry I couldn't even keep up with requests.

6:00-6:30PM
: All food was eaten, much lag was had, and everyone was kicked out of the house, but partied on a buckward vale street!

6:30-10:00PM
: Six competitions were held.

RESULTS
Best Bean Guesser: I had a bean bag with 729 beans. Umi Won this contest by guessing 731.
Best Egg Guesser: I had a bag filled with 396 eggs. Limerence won by guessing 397 eggs.
Best Rookroller: Quarter Team candidate Tbr4 rolled rook before the other three candidate groups
Best Racer:  Sumi's Bureaucrat went 9.81 planks, winning this competition.
Best Detective: Makona won this by being the first person to discover I had leveled up to 26.
Best Musician: Glitchen agreed: Laurali played the best music in the whole party.
Best Dressed Lady- Glitchen agreed: Asha Greyjoy was stunning in her evening gown. 
Best Dressed Gent- Glitchen agreed: Artilect's use of leather and mouse ears was top notch.
Best Announcer: Violet Lapin trained gnomes, posted statuses, and made many notes about the party
Best Photographer: Varaeth won best picture when he snapped this rook crashing my party!

Credits:
My most treasured IRL friend, Cerulean, who not only introduced me to glitch, but gave me the confidence and inspiration to commit to an event of this magnitude. Unlimited nuzzlehugs for you!

All food and drinks were prepared by just one person: Aspasia, a master chef who is likely the hardest-working glitch you'll ever meet. She prepared everything you saw in just two days, in her spare time. I simply couldn't believe so many high-quality meals and drinks could be made so quickly.

My esteemed vote-taker, storage manager, operations assistant, and strategy helper Shakha, whom I've trusted with all the most valuable prizes at the party, and who also knows how to throw an awesome party! Shakha, you have been a monumental help.

Most of my money for this party was earned through gardening, but a good chunk of it was also through cubimal trading and transactions. Perhaps the most honest cubimal trader I've met is Larva Lover, who has an impressive collection of cubimals and loves to trade them as as much as I do. She's offered to help me out with special operations for the party.

Zoesera, my door prize Auctioneer, provided me with more than 20 sparkle powders when no one else was willing to make them for me. Thanks to Zoesera's hard work 32 glitchen will receive sparkle powder as door prizes, secondary prizes, and random prizes.

Of these wonderful individuals, Cerulean, Shakha, and Larva Lover have also agreed to serve as judges, bouncers, and pre-party planning agents. I couldn't have done it without their help and the help of multiple other glitchen who made donations or provided services.

  • wow you really did put a lot of work into this party Vermilion  well done to you.. I hope your party is a roaring success..as I am sure it will be.

    Vermilion  When you say you are both levelling up on Thursday the 13th...Does this mean it is your birthday as well?

  • This looks fabulous! I will definitely try to make it to celebrate with you.

    Keep an eye on your guests, though. Don't know if you were around for some of the beta parties where a few select individuals would just tear through the place picking up every single item of food, drink, purple, etc., stripping a party bare in a matter of seconds. Since the party is at your house, I think you can kick guests out if they behave badly, but you might want to have a friend in each room keeping an eye on things, ready to IM you at a moment's notice. 

    Sorry to be so gloomy and mistrustful, but I'd hate to see all your awesome work get wiped out by a few gross people.

  • @Cryztal: Yes! I turn 26 years of age on October 13th, and I've planned it so that my glitch will level up to 26 on the same day!

  • @Meridian, unfortunately I've experienced that twice already in my short time in Ur.  There will always be disrespectful, selfish people.  Whether in real life or in game world.  Your idea of having bouncers, though, is pretty creative and amusing.  :)  I took to splanking the offenders repeatedly when I saw it happen.

  • This party sounds incredible, Vermilion! It'll be somewhat late in my timezone when the party starts but I'll try to show up to take pictures and play some music :-)

  • Happy Birthday, Vermillion! What a fabulous event you have planned. It would be worth thinking about Meridan's and JooJoo's words of experience. You have gone through too much effort and expense to have it ruined.
    Posted 14 months ago by GreyGoose Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Wow, you've planned an awesome party! I've yet to attend a party as big as this in Ur, but I think I'll be able to make this one. See you all there! :)

  • Vermilion  awww bless.. brilliant idea..and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU  on Thursday ... :) xx  
    Posted 14 months ago by Cryztal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Meridian: Thank you for your caution. However, I'm well prepared! I invested in eyeballery and snapshottery skills so I can see whatever is going on, anywhere in my house, and kick out the offender with a click of the mouse. Plus, ALL prize bags are either carried by me (or special party VIPS) or locked away in my cupboard where only I can access them. If someone wants to be kicked out of a major party for hoarding, they lose all opportunity of winning the grand prizes, and will have just a few pick-ups to show for their bad behavior.

  • This is super-awesome, and the pictures of your party set-up are great. An early happy birthday, and I would love to come!

    I'll have to leave some nice advertising notes around for you. C:

  • Vermilion, this is a super idea!  I won't be able to make it, but please IM me if you would like any additional powders or other gifts -- I'm happy to mail you some.

  • Wow - what an incredibly well-planned party. I adore the idea of leveling up with your Glitch :-)

    Those prize bags are incredible! I'd assumed the sno cone was going to be the centre-piece but it's just one small part. Wow.

    Just sad I'm already double-booked for Thursday IRL & won't be able to make it, but best birthday wishes & have an awesome party.

  • @Laurali & Gloopy: You may certainly bring herbs, powders, or other favors to the party. All donations are welcome! Generous people like you help make Glitch the wonderful place I've come to love.

    PS: To all glitchen, please do not send me or anyone else currants for this party; if you want to donate to the party, please bring your donation in the form of food/drink/favors. Also, donations will not increase your chances of winning a prize, so please only donate out of charity.

  • Such an awesome idea! I will try to make it. :)
    Posted 14 months ago by machi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ahh I'm so excited! I hope I can make it.
    Posted 14 months ago by theodorenott Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Just to verify do you mean PST or PDT.  Currently most (if not all) of the pacific time zone in the US is operating on PDT (Pacific Daylight Time).  This could cause some confusion for international players if they are doing the conversion based on PST if you mean PDT.

    Also, sounds great, I'm definitely gonna be there.

  • Congrats Vermillion! Sounds like so much fun! I'm a chef so if I can make it I'll bring food or drinks!

  • @Tazuras: Thank you for bringing the time zone distinction to my attention. The time is 6:00-8:00PM California (Pacific Daylight) Time. I will make immediate corrections so that international players will know the correct time.
    Posted 14 months ago by zZzZzZzZ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • awesome!
    Posted 14 months ago by Treesa Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @ GiaToria: I'm glad you're excited about the costume contest! Just to clarify, the outfits can be classy, crazy, scary, humorous, or anything else! This isn't a formal party by any definition, so players don't have to be dressed 'lady-like' or 'gentlemanly' to win those first two prizes!

  • damn, i'll be djing a party irl then, so i can't make it, but this sounds like quite a celebration.  congrats to you and your glitch, and thanks for putting such a wonderful soiree together!
