I owe a lot of work on the Charity stuff! I've had the idea in my had for a long time, I just haven't taken the time to sit down and write it up! So, here it goes.
The basic idea is that there are 12 players who have volunteered, or been told to be apart of it who are the main focus for driving people to donate money.
Events Incude:
- A 2012 Calendar: (To come out in December) I'll put something together, but I want to make sure everyone is okay with the pictures I might choose for their characters. So if you are okay with me randomly finding some and using them let me know, if not please comment here with some pictures you're okay with me using!
- Charity Ball: (Before Christmas). A huge event where each player will be at a different table and people can buy to be at that those tables, or the player can pay for that table and invite whomever they'd like. Or half the seats… so on. Each table will had 10 seats. Think crescent round sort of thing with fancy center pieces and an insanely boring speech in the middle. there will also be dancing afterwards!
- Date Auction: (February). Around Valentine's Day, there will be a date auction for everyone to bid on the players and win a date with the player. There will be a party after the auction and a huge open thread. There will also be an OOC post to figure out who is bidding on whom to make life a little easier! Players get to pick which charity the money goes to in this one!
- Carnival: (March). First thank you to Nicole for the idea! In the middle of March when everyone is getting sick of the snow and all the cold, One of the pitches (they'll be bidding to win, and it'll be part of what's in the news) will host a carnival. To kick off the carnival there will be a friendly match between the 12 participating players. 2 chasers, 1 seeker, 2 betters and a keeper. They'll be picked at random that day and have only one hour to get ready for the match! After the match, which will have a 2 hour time limit everyone attending will receive a free drink will the pitch is changed into a carnival ground. There will be games, challenges, food and more!
Along with the four major events. The players will be divided into teams and be requested to go visit different organizations, the safe the animals, visit the homeless shelters and so on. As soon as I'm set on who the 12 are I'll randomly pair them together and occasionally e-mail the two players with somewhere their characters have been asked to go and post it in the news!!! It's an on going thing.
So far the players that I have signed up are (If there is a question mark next to your player that's because I'm not 100% sure, or we haven't actually talked about it and they're on the list of players in game):
1. Marcus Flint
2. Alicia Spinnet
3. Oliver Wood
4. Sebastian Urquhart
5. Malcolm Preece - Will be out if needed! :)
6. Roger Davies
7. Tamsin Applebee
8. Harry Potter?
9. Ginny Potter?
10. Angelina Johnson?
11. Callen Warrington?
12. Katie Bell?
13. Meghan McCormack?
Remember there is only room for 12! If your player isn't listed it's because from our understanding they don't want to be apart of it. We've got 13 here so if all the question marks are interesting I'll pull one of my two to make sure everyone can be apart of it! Keep in mind not being apart of it could be great plot! Or, actually we could use an extra just in case someone backs out! Lots of options here!
Let me know on the ?'s and pictures! Sorry for taking so long to write this stuff up. I'll make it pretty and have post to reference soonish! :)
