    Thank you Sally...

    I have a lot of people to thank but for the moment I feel like I've hosted a party for 100 and the last guest just left...I'll clean up in the morning...I'm wrecked and no doubt Lovefall is getting some well earned rest as well.

    will post more soon but as a typical male I barely took a picture :S

    This is what I wrote in the event thread.

    " Fun, fun, fun. I was a healer for Hideo and ended up 24th place for briefly punching a Bokol in the face! :biggrin2: "

    as posted in the birthday bash thread ;)......



    First things first ...So many people to thank!!

    Many many thanks to the following...
    Firstly Lovefall.
    I could not have done it without her help,its as simple as that.The day would have been a mess if I didn't have her to help me out.
    I had her jumping and tp'ing all over the place for hours and she did not complain or question once!
    She was an absolute trooper and an invaluable help!
    Thank you very much!!

    Next To Aia
    Life conspired against the wormhole guys I had set up-cant be helped,life is like that sometimes-So the first 2 events missed out but Aia came through at the final event (after jumping through 3 planets to get here with the chip!!)and made sure there were some wormholes for people to experience and also refused payment for all the ME used,and it uses a lot!
    Thank you Aia!
    The wormholes were important for the day so a sincere thanks for coming through for us!

    Ravenjade and Ultimate Spirit Chaser
    Thanks to you both and Entropia Fleet Alliance for helping out with flights and Ravenjade for jumping at the last minute to get Aia where she needed to go ;)

    Lizzy Storm,Sally Bridges and Oleg
    Thanks to you all for your advice and help.Thanks to Lizzy for the promo video at extremely short notice!
    May be more videos to come yet,gotta let people recover first.

    MeLoveYou LongTime FiveDolla
    Thanks for letting us use the LA and for the donation to the prize pool!
    It was a pretty good success with all 85 tickets sold for this event!!
    I think that's a testament to the LA and its set up,glad it went well and I'd be happy to work with you any time.

    Rute KILLER Marlene
    A soc mate of mine who came through with some extra prizes to keep the fun going a little longer.Thanks mate ;)

    Lars and the Ark Team
    You know why,Thanks again ;)

    and everyone else that did the little things all through the planning and execution.It was really a last minute thing but with your help it came together nicely.

    Now on to the winners!!
    Event 1 Winners

    1. Valdarian Markus RaevenHe
    2. oscar potterscar garcia
    3. Daniel SonofFiery Tang
    I appear to have had a couple nusuls run away from me,I will do my best over the next week to track them down and get them to you ;)

    Event 2 Winners
    1. LUCKY dpatc3 PATCHY
    2. the 9tailed fox
    3. pavel rozikp rozenbaum
    The second place winner is a soc mate of mine so Grats Fox!
    pavel still needs to get in touch with me for the remainder of his prizes.I will do everything I can to get the prizes to him but if anyone knows him or has him on FL please tell him to get in touch with me.

    Event 3 Winners
    1. adi Biliwen Wen
    2. Lazer lazz Nero
    3. Daggsy Daggs Drostillion
    The final event was a real battle.A record for the number of globals on Songkra Valley in an event was broken by about the half way mark.I think it ended up at about 130ish? Thats a global every 30 seconds.Adi finally took it with a nice little 4 digit loot.Lazz only got his ticket at the last minute from me after all had sold out so well done for that ;)

    Grats to the winners and all those that took away the on the spot prizes!
    There was a dozen vehicles,a couple dozen weapons,maybe a dozen Vault keys and various tools given away so I hope everybody got a little something out of the day.



    So a final big thank you to everyone that entered the events and joined in on the fun in your own way.
    It was a busy day but I had a great time and a lot of fun and really feel like I spent the day doing something!

    Thanks especially for all the well wishes!

    I feel like I was saying thanks for Happy Birthdays all day and its because I was !!
    I really felt the Arkadian/Entropian community today and it was special to be a part of ;)


    Thank you !!!!

    If anyone has any pictures vids or anything please post them,I'd love to see them as I was too busy to take a single screenshot myself.

    JOD, for me it was total fun to assist you with the event... not a single minute I seen it as a job (and that's also one of the main reasons I refused to keep the logistic gear as payment - hahaha), but just as a chance to have tons of fun, get to know new people, make new friends and generally participate to an absolute amazing event. It was, really, by far, the greatest experience I had in this game.

    So really... you thanked us all... but the only (or at least main) person we should thank for is YOU... because it was your money, time and originality that made all these possible...

    So, once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOD AND MAY ALL OF YOUR DREAMS (BOTH IRL AND GAME ONES) COME TRUE! :)

    *HUGS*

    It all looked awesome :D 2 bad I could only join in for like the last 10 minutes but I really enjoyed seeing how much fun everyone had
    in the chats. I doubt this day will be matched any time soon by anyone :D Well done Jod, Lovefall and everyone else involved in setting this epic day up :D

    Thanks for the pics and vid's Sally!!

    As I said I barely got a pic all day,my view for most of the day was through a dozen or more PM windows :eek:

    I wouldn't have changed a thing though!

    I've been asked why I did it...(That in it self is a little sad that it had to be asked but I do understand it.)
    Basically I see it like this....Dave and his team created the world but the community is up to us to create.
    It really doesnt take much to bring everyone together instead of constantly competing against each other for a pec here and there.
    I think its important to throw out the spreadsheet and forget all that for a day and just have some fun once in a while.

    And the reward is completely worth it.
    I absolutely got every pec worth out of it!

    I encourage everyone no matter how rich poor or otherwise to have a go,dont be shy :p



    I dont see why it can't be........

    I look forward to the next person stepping up and sharing the fun :biggrin2:
    I'll be there for sure!!
