Refugee Party: Roleplay server maintenance event

Thank you for coming to this emergency meeting. Our representative with Operation Gnomeregan has contacted me with the news that many new refugees are about to arrive at Coldridge Valley. They have requested that we accommodate them by incorporating the refugees into our guild and feeding them.
Hands Springsprocket has also contacted me. It seems that he needs to get a large number of supplies to Thunderbrew Distillery. So we are not only going to allow these refugees to join us, we are going to put them to work. And then we'll sit down and have a party, to relax and welcome our new members.
I know this is short notice, but we must mobilize! Meet at the Coldridge Pass in Coldridge Valley at 9 p.m. on Tuesday. I will give further instructions at that time.
((Full details in non-RP format are after the break.))

Note for non-RPers: double parentheses mean we are speaking out of character (or OOC).
You are all invited to join us for a roleplay event during the 24 hour downtime on Tuesday. We will be meeting at the gnome/dwarf starter zone and participating in some quests together. We won't be forming a raid, so that the quests can be completed; but all participants will be in guild. First, here's the schedule:
- When: 11 p.m. EDT (8 p.m. PDT, 9 p.m. realm time) on Tuesday, July 20
- Where: Coldridge Pass on Shadow Council (US-RP-A)
- Who: Any Alliance character of any level, though gnomes are preferred
- What: We will be completing quests and doing other activities in preparation for Operation Gnomeregan
- How: Ask Peenk or any <B L O G> member to join. Ranks of Soldier and above can invite.
- Don't be a funsucker!
- Keep all chat in guildchat, local chat and public channels in character.
- /join refugee to chat out of character.
- No spam, macros or shouting allowed in any channel except by Peenk.
- If you feel you need to chat OOC in guildchat, please use double parentheses (()) to do so.
I will be streaming the event on our Justin.tv channel and actually attempting to narrate in character. It could be good. It could be a trainwreck. You'll have to see/hear for yourself.
Updated with answers to frequently asked questions:
- The event is designed for level 1, but optimal level is 5. Any level is fine though for joining us.
- Please don't do Hands Springsprocket's delivery quest before the event (unless, of course, you've already done it).

I will answer your call Peenk! I shall bring my Sword! Or maybe my Wand... It all depends what character I happen to be!
For Gnomeregan!
FOR THE ALLIANCE!
WOOOO!

This sounded so interesting until I noticed it was US-only.
Bah.

Another day, another brush with death. And I thought tha' I would finally be safe down by the Grizzled Den... what a disaster.
Well, ol' Flint is hanging in there. Met up with some gnome friends o' mine and they offered me a job helpin' out some refugees over in Coldridge Valley; I don't know how I'm qualified to help anyone, but I need a place to stay, so I figure I'll lend them my hands.
I still 'aven't forgotten. I 'aven't forgiven either. I don' think I ever will.
((This is Flint, a new character I'll be using for tomorrow's event. He's a dwarf, but his friends are gnomes and he doesn't really do much in dwarven society. Except drink. He still drinks.))

Better hope none of you flag yourselfs, the horde on shadow council will show you no mercy!

Well, I've never tried RPing, but my server is down tomorrow and so I may have to give it a try. Please forgive any noob mistakes I make, but I'll do my best.

((Around what level would be optimal for this event?))
Robin Torres Jul 19th 2010 7:46PM
(( This event is designed for level 1s, but level 5 would be optimal. ))

((Thank you very much, my dear Robin.))

((Yes what would be the best level for this so I can level my mage Wiril Cogglesprogger.))

I don't actively RP, but I may swing by to check this out and watch/learn. I don't think I could ever have the energy to keep up a 'character', but the whole thing has always intrigued me.

It seems like this would be the perfect event for you to try out RPing. This is pretty much a one time thing and a good time to put yourself into another character. I may join in myself just to partake in a big event, I don't plan on getting very invested in the character I create.
trentevo Jul 20th 2010 6:53AM
I think I may come try it out too, RP has always intrigued me.

((this event has the potential for disaster of comedic levels. i'm in.))
Grond Jul 19th 2010 8:07PM
((I wanna play. Do people even roleplay here in Europe?))
Angidget Jul 19th 2010 8:40PM
yay! Adventures for Angidget! This should be fun!

Hi its Razzell! I can provide infinite snacks and food for all the refugees! And plus I can buy cheese! You can't have a party without cheese!
((Also, if you dont want you chat being spammed, just move the ooc chat to another window.))

(( Is this available to all races, or would you rather them be gnomes? It's not that I don't like gnomes, but I've been leveling one on my main server, would like to see something higher than 3 feet for an avatar for a while :P ))
Robin Torres Jul 19th 2010 9:20PM
(( It is available to all Alliance races, BUT it begins in the gnome/dwarf starter area, so you will need to get there. Summons are for sissies and don't make RP sense for the "refugee" storyline. ))
