finalfantasyland | Eventsquare Booth Signups!

Hello, guys! Mysti here. I am not your shiny events mod, as you very well know; that would be the lovely

etsplanations, who is currently overseas. I'm posting this on her behalf since she's asked me to hold the fort for her while she's away.

For those of you who aren't aware,

ff_eventsquare hosts a - well, the name says everything, doesn't it? - event once every game. Following Ets's grand (and very new) tradition, I'll copypaste the introduction

lightofeilia wrote for the festival, back in Game 2:

So what's the Garden Festival? It's basically an excuse to throw a party :D Well, in all seriousness, it's actually so that non-members get a chance to see what it's like in ff_land. Right now the only public communities are ff_land, ff_classchange, and moogle_workshop. But for 15 days, there'll be tons of activities and games running, and everyone is welcome to participate, especially non-members!

Even better; if you've participated and decided that hey, it's a pretty fun thing, maybe I wanna join; you'll get to keep all of the prizes that you've won (in the form of game points)!

And for our current members, the Garden Festival is also a chance for you to run activities!

True to carnival-style, the festival has different 'booths', run (ideally speaking) by different people. If you have an idea for a booth and would like to run one, there are forms below! (Yours truly will make sure it gets to Ets.)

Ideally we'd like about 5 to 10 booths for the event. Please leave a comment here if you'd like to open a booth or help to run one; people running booths, please feel free to ask for helpers if necessary! You do not need to run booths over a continuous span of days; one-off booths (like many of our current minigames) are acceptable, as well.

Booth Application Form

Helper Application Form

What do you get for running booths? I'm afraid we can't offer points for that, but we can and do reward booth-owners and helpers with 1000 gil each. It's also the chance to run your own minigame, if you've wanted to do that. Suggestions are welcome even if you don't want to run booths, and if you DO want to run one but don't know what you'd like to run, just offer to help out and maybe there'll be a few booths for you!

SCHEDULE

We're planning on running this event during the last two weeks of the game, with possibly a little overlap into extra time for wrapup. Which means this is a little late, so could I please have replies (if possible) by the 15th? I'm honestly very sorry the timespan is so short.

CURRENT BOOTH LIST

• Haven't I heard you somewhere before...? run by

toffeethesnob [HELPER SLOT OPEN]
• Toffee's Final Fantasy Character Cosplay Booth of Terror (mwahahaha!) run by... well,

toffeethesnob (mwahahaha.)

NOTE: The events in

ff_eventsquare will be public, so you do not need to join it in order to participate in the event. The only people that will be invited to it are those running a stand.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: I'll answer any questions you have as best as I can; however, if these are questions best referred to Ets, I'll forward them to her - which may mean a delay in replies.

Booth application
Name: arivess
Class: Kittyberry
Booth Name: Gloom (...unless I can come up with a catchier name like Torture Corner :D)
Booth Info: It's based largely off of the card game Gloom, where you torture your people and then kill them off! :DDD Except FF-based! With all your favourite characters getting eaten by dragons, stomped by chocobos, stabbitied by tonberries, etc. :D
Proposed Layout/Setup: You pick two characters each, and then do horrible things to them! :D There are three varieties of cards: good things, bad things, and DEATH. Good things will lose you points, bad things will win you points, and once a character's dead, nothing else can be played on them. You are given a limited amount of each (I think about 10-12 cards total, probably something like 5 "bad" cards, 3 "good" cards, and 2 death cards) when you sign up to play, and you can play any card on any character (even someone else's), though there will be limitations on how many cards of what type can be played on each character (ie, a maximum of two good cards and three bad cards, and obviously only one death). There will also be bonuses given for creative storytelling instead of just playing a card. :D

Prizes/Participation: The bad cards will give -10 and -15, so you'll stick about -60 altogether on your characters. The good cards will give +5 and +10, so you'll get about 20 or so knocked off altogether, ideally. I was thinking of giving half the points on the good cards to encourage people to use them, so that means you'll get about +10 or something, so uh... 50-ish points altogether for full participation, maybe 60-65 if you're reeeeaaaal lucky? I want to knock down the points a bit more though, maybe to about 50... Might limit the number of cards even more. Will also give a +5 bonus for telling stories instead of just playing cards for... say, at least 3 cards.

On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being easy and 5 being difficult), how much work do you think will go into maintaining this booth?: 3-4, depending on how many people play. I'll have cards prepared ahead of time, but if I run out, I'm going to have to make them up on the fly... >.>;
If you answered 4 or 5 to the above question, would you want a helper to help you out?: I don't think I'll necessarily need someone to help me run the booth, per se, although I guess maybe someone to keep an eye on things just to make sure people aren't over-using their cards or breaking other rules would be good. And, um. ;_; Card ideas are even better! Please?
