DawL

How are you planning on notifying?

Condolences to Punchy's friends and family.

I am SOOOO grateful to Anyad for hosting this event! It was nice to see the base actually get used and the folks haunting it were awesome! I had an AFKer haunting in there, (well, two, on Halloween!) and saw quite a few visitors come through! 🙂

The Federation of Xzianthia supergroup and The DawL House discord are holding their THIRD ANNUAL Halloween Costume Contest! It will be held the Coliseum in the center of the DawL House base on Everlasting, starting at 8PM Eastern. There will be Trivia with prizes!

Among them, an asylum, a creepy carnival area, a haunted cemetery and of course... a fiery "final destination" (demons welcome!) I (DawL) already have a creepy bloody nurse, a scary clown and more costumes I can send to anyone interested, or you can make your own.

I thought most of the bases in the competition were pretty awesome. It was hard choosing just one. When I toured the bases, I was on an 8' tall demon with wings. I started all bases with 100 points. I knocked points off for everywhere I got "stuck" and either couldn't get out or took a lot of moving around to break loose. I also knocked points off for confusing ports with little direction on why I was sent there as well as a confusing layout and getting lost a lot. I know a lot of builders do put hidden "easter eggs" and some are awesome, but some of the bases were harder to tour than others for the feeling of running over the same areas again and again. I added points for overall appeal to my personal tastes. Bases that got those were Dryad, Crash Castle, the Pirate base, the Coven base, and of course, Vault Luxe. The Dryad base was beautiful, however, I got stuck. A lot. I did go back on a tiny character and had a much easier time. Sadly, I got hung up in the Pirate base in a few spots as well. Crash Castle had a more... personal quirk for me (seeing toilets from standing outside the bathroom aka lack of privacy in the privvy, lol). All of them had some great features and you could clearly tell everyone who built them put in a lot of work. In the end, I am just very glad I wasn't a judge, because picking between 70-something of them must have been intense! Congratz to everyone in the base community and a special thanks to all those builders who create then open their spaces up for RPers to experience things that we wouldn't otherwise see in the game. You all have a lot of talent and vision to take the items provided in the editor and turn them into such amazing creations! Every one of the builders should be proud.

YAYYYY!!!!! Congratulations, Dusk and crew!

First - there is no "friend" to support! I DO NOT EVEN KNOW THE OWNER of the base. I just like a well-made, immersive, realistic base. I was wowed by this base the first time I saw it, back when it first opened. I wasn't "bragging." I was commenting in reply to the post that was INSINUATING that ALL the votes being cast were "alts". That's what they seemed to be implying. Then a bunch of literacy-challenge folks come in and say I was admitting that the votes were all alts of me, (NOT TRUE nor did I say or even imply that) and then it just snowballs from there like a twisted game of 'telephone'. So oh no! Bad me for wanting to share the artistry with others. And as for my "fanbase" (WTH? I have as fanbase? Wow nice to know!) voting blindly, none of it was blindly. Everyone I talked to got to hear me froth about (and/or see) the merits of the base. Not everyone visited, but I do know several who did. Some WITH me. And everyone seems to be *ASS*uming that all this took place in the 11th hour, which IT DID NOT. I was talking to friends about the contest LONG BEFORE this 11th hour crap. WHY SO MUCH TWISTING WORDS AND MAKING UP OUTRIGHT LIES? Now I remember why I mostly avoid the forums. Personally don't think there is ANYTHING WRONG with convincing others of the merits of a DANG GOOD BASE that is 1. artistic, 2. immersive, 3. well-constructed, 4. working as intended so my 8' tall demon didn't get hung up in scenery and what have you like some other bases (sadly, the Dryad base which I really liked, a couple of places in the PIrate base (which I loved), and the Rampage base), 5. was intuitive OR directed as re: teleport points (i.e. you took a teleport point and it went somewhere that made sense and you could easily find your way back. A few bases lost rank with me because I became lost or confused as to the point of teleporting, after using a teleport point. As in, it was a one-way trip with no clear reason for the teleport in the first place (Rampage). Crash was amazing in it's theme, and was a hard competitor for my second choice against the Pirate one. I loved the stage and the post-apocolyptic feel. I just loved Vault Luxe. AGAIN, Not because the owner is someone I know -- BECAUSE I DON'T NOR DO THEY KNOW ME -- but because it's A GOOD BASE. I liked a LOT of bases, and the top five were REALLY hard to weed out to pick just one. In the end, the immersion won out, but I did love the Pirate one (except for getting stuck a few places), and the Dark Coven. The Dark Coven was SOOO awesome but finding my way around was a bit more difficult so I gave points to a base that was easier to navigate. There's no requirement to be an RPer to vote. If that's going to become a criteria, then the base everyone is whimpering about certainly wouldn't do well as it's not really even realistically a RP themed base.

Wow. More lies. Tell me where I said I was talking to friends about voting "at the last second"?

THANK YOU!

You're very focused on that quote. You emphasis the VISIT but you aren't even seeing the (ONCE) apparently.

How exactly is getting people to get out and vote "rigging" the vote? Just because I asked them to support the base I thought most worth? OMG if that's "rigging" then any election held in the US is RIGGED! Because that's what campaigns do. It's called "getting out the vote," not rigging. In the end, I have zero control over whether those people voted for my suggestion or not. Did they visit any other bases? Did they even visit the one I was hoping they'd vote for? (Okay, I know some did because I showed them around, but I did not show everyone around). Yes, it was suggested that folks see them all. I personally know two people who voted for other bases because they knew someone in the SG (or the SG leader aka base owner, not entirely sure which). Did THEY tour all the bases? Who knows? It took a LONG time to go through every base, but I did it. Even the ones on Excel where I rarely play. So again, how is asking LEGIT PEOPLE who have LEGIT accounts to vote "rigging"?

Everyone who has a forum account has the right to vote. If they choose to give that vote for whatever reason, then it's not "vote bombing". Again I ask, do you think EVERY PERSON WHO VOTED toured every single base? I did. I personally looked at every single one of them. Did everyone I contacted go to the bases? Nope. Many of them told me they weren't going to. Some believe bases are, aside from basic transport ones, "a RP thing" and they aren't RPers. But does this mean they shouldn't be allowed to vote? I don't believe so. I suspect a lot of alt-ing was happening but not on the side you are accusing it of being. Hence the comment about the "alt" accounts not touring all the bases (except probably their own?). If you were worried about who voted for whom, why weren't YOU out taking folks on tours of bases? Which base did YOU vote for? Are you 100% sure NO alt accounts voted for that one?
