Posts: 9148 (01/21/10 11:07 PM) High Sigil Defender of Love Sigil of the Silver Tongue Order of the Wayfarers Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None *Ales & Tales!* Who: Sigils, Candidates, and Friends! Open to the Public! What: An in-character evening of tavern fun--drinks, stories, and songs! When: Thursday, February 18, 2010, 8:00pm-10:00pm ET Where: The Tiger's Roar, Highhold Pass Why: We all need a break from adventuring once in a while... Details Third Thursday Ales & Tales continues! This is a simple in-character gathering at a tavern or inn (the venue will change monthly) for adventurers of appropriate faction to hang out, relax, and share "ales and tales" with one another. This is a "drop in" type of party; you may arrive and leave whenever you wish, and while it is called "Ales & Tales", it is not required that you perform if you attend. You may simply come to listen and enjoy; however, everyone is welcome and encouraged to share a story with the group. Since "Ales & Tales" will normally take place in a tavern, we do need to patronize our host establishment. Thus, you'll need to bring a few plat for your drinks as it'll be a cash bar primarily. (Please be aware that faction may be an issue for buying and selling due to the mindsets of the tavernkeepers.) However, some specialty foods and drinks will probably be offered by Sigils bakers and brewers, and a "potluck" would be great--anyone with culinary talents who wishes to whip up a batch of something to share is most welcome to bring it and dish it out! Please note that faction has been mentioned a couple of times already. If you are KoS in the Ales & Tales location, please bring a character who is not KoS or take peaceful measures (e.g.--invisibility, illusion, etc.) to insure that you will not be attacked that do NOT include slaughtering townsfolk, jeopardizing the faction of other attendees, or disrupting the event with combat; this is supposed to be a night of relaxation, song, and stories. If this means that you cannot attend this particular Ales & Tales, please accept our apologies and be assured that the next Ales & Tales will be held in a different location--hopefully one that your character is able to visit safely. Communication Performances are to be conducted in /say General conversation can be in /say if no one is performing If someone is performing, please lower your voices (i.e.-take conversations to /g or /t ) Openly /emoted reactions during the performance are welcome and encouraged! /join SigilsInfo for questions about the host guild Rules of Behavior This is a social, conversational event, not a free-for-all kegger to raise your AT. Spamming the group by chugging down huge quantities of alcohol at once is rude and disruptive, as is staggering around and spouting incomprehensibly slurred chatter. Feel free to eat, drink, and enjoy yourselves, but please be respectful of others while you do. Please remain in-character to the best of your ability. OOC discussions should be kept out of general /say channel. If you have never roleplayed before, just imagine yourself as your character rather than as someone sitting at a computer and playing a game; listen to fellow attendees to see examples of how it is done. Then jump right in! When performing a song or story, please be careful if you choose to hotkey your presentation. Set up the hotkeys well in advance and TEST them before you try them out publicly. Often it is simply a better choice to type in your text as normal. Supplies Needed Bakers and Brewers! Food/Drinks -- Erollisi's Day theme would be nice! (Wines, champagnes, chocolates, fruits, combinations of the aforementioned... ) Any props you might need to perform your tale/song Sign Up Please indicate: The time you expect to arrive, Whether you intend to perform something, And if you plan to bring any special snacks or drinks to hand out. Thanks! Special Note to the Sigils: At least three Sigils who sign up should prepare a piece to share, as our guests may be shy and/or desire examples of the kind of performances we're talking about. I emphasize "at least" three; if more than three Sigils are willing to perform, all the better, and of course everyone is encouraged to do so, Sigil or not!

And hey, Dore--Carsehl doesn't have to tell a story if he's too shy. It'd be great just to have one of your crew there, in any capacity, if you can.

Posts: 9265 (02/18/10 2:30 PM) High Sigil Defender of Love Sigil of the Silver Tongue Order of the Wayfarers Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Update...it's possible that Ales & Tales may start a tad late tonight; some things have come up that might shift the start time a little, though I'm still shooting for 8pm ET. Fortunately, this is a "drop in" kind of event rather than one that needs a solid group right up front, so it shouldn't be a big deal. If people want to start gathering and just hanging out at 8pm, that's fine, too--I don't have to be there to kick it off. Point is, Ales & Tales is still happening tonight, though it might be a slow start. Hope to see folks there!

Posts: 9270 (02/19/10 1:28 PM) High Sigil Defender of Love Sigil of the Silver Tongue Order of the Wayfarers Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well, our third Ales & Tales was successful, if a bit late on the start time (as warned). When I arrived, several people had already gathered in the Tiger's Roar and were hanging out and relaxing. We got started fairly quickly upon my arrival, though, around 8:50pm ET, and ran nearly two hours, finishing up completely in the vicinity of 10:45pm ET or so. It was a good turnout, with most Sigils in attendance who were online, including Reridore, Zandrame, Narin, Stelley, Laidin, Starlene, Enokhaon, and myself. Our candidate Ainadanae attended as well, and was kind enough to grace us with the recitation of a poem, and we also had our applicant Morgain and, of course, our dear friend Morpherios. Poetry was the order of the evening, it seemed, with most of the presentations being in verse, though a couple of prose pieces were shared. The culmination of the evening once again came from Morpherios, though in a sadder form than his remarkable tale at our first Ales & Tales in Shadowhaven: Morpherios honored the Sigils by giving his formal farewell to Norrath last night, among us. It was a beautiful and worthy tribute to the Fortress of Honor--one that I would not have missed. Morpherios is one of a infinitesimally small group of people that I've known over the last decade that I can truthfully and certainly say were Sigils at heart, if not in Name. Thank you for being there, Morph, and thank you for choosing to spend that time and give those words to us. Your presence will be deeply missed.
