So Maylin and Co. are throwing a "Pimps And Hoes" themed party at the next game.

It will be mixed-company, so everyone keep your Masquerade faces on.

Oh, and anyone who wants to donate a spare table here, or you know... anything... feel free.

Party's scheduled to start at 11.

Who gets invites?

More to the point: How is this info being disseminated in character?

My dear boy, it's the old maxim...

"If you pimp it, they will come."

;D

At 11? Game will be starting normally at 10, and the party will happen later?

First floor? Fifth floor? Intending to be all of game, or just the people that decide to come?

For the leech in me, is there exp for setup/teardown? Does this count as an "event"?

Ooh ooh! Third floor! C'mon, people, nothin' but hoes on the third floor, I swear! Nothin' but hoes. Everyone should come down to the third floor, for a party, with the large number of hoes we have hired for this purpose, at great expense and at the last minute.

Come now, why would I lie?

;D

*ding!*

Third floor. Housewares, Automotive, Hos.

[Isabella Antimony Crane]

lol, we're probably just going to rope off part of the first floor... and I don't know if the ST's are counting this as an event or not. I would like it to be, cause that'd be spiffy.

The people actually getting invitations... are the entirety of the War and Masquerade Coteries, the heads of each clan, and all Ventrue.

Also, anyone who visited The Embrace Agency's website and signed up for a login (there have been ads in the newspapers that direct people to the Embrace Agency... tantalizing ones, too...) got an invitation e-mail.

One of the factors of the party which probably recieved a little press is the Benevolant Pimp Award.... cause some pimps know how to treat they hoes.

There will be a small ticket raffle, which will go directly to benefit a local charity of the choice of one of the guests who wins the honor of a free escort and "The Benevolant Pimp Award" which allows them to choose to take the money themselves, or donate it to a charity of their choice.... all IC, of course... unless you guys want to turn it into a genuine donation raffle, which would be kinda spiff.

And yes, the party will begin a little later than game... to give the partiers a chance to attend to some business beforehand, or RP the actual arriving of players.

Also, Giovanni players, give me a heads up. The last time I had the chance to talk to Jeff, Maylin had approached Luciano about coming to the party/providing security.

[David Price]

Ha! Arlo's not invited! I win.

... The ventrue corporations are The Embrace Agency and Preator Enterprises? WHY are Ventrue considered the people who are good at the Masquerade?

[Isabella Antimony Crane]

Oh, gate crashers are welcome... as long as you can keep the Undead Urination Tournaments to a minimum. May's a chill lady when it comes to throwing a party, but she takes no shit when it comes to people messing up her digs... or her vassals.

Also, Ventrue... remember what the Prince said Heh.

[Chilli]

Damn...

[Janet]

Don't ask me. Praetor Enterprises can actually be gotten away with.

But.....yeah.....don't ask me. I dunno.

[Layla]

I'll be there all Hoed out for ya!

It may be too late at this point, but have you delivered these invitations at game, or is this posting the "delivery mechanism"?

In general, invites are often a sticky thing because you have to know where to send them, and Kindred are picky about other kindred having their address. That said, many people often say, "My character is looking for these characters all week. If you want to agree that we met in a safe location long enough to exchange paper, that's good. If you want to be unfindable, that's fine too." The only drawback of that approach is that it makes it tricky to roleplay any response to people who have accepted your invitation and then didn't show (because it isn't clear who did accept your invite), but cest la vie.

I mention this mostly because these are the same issues that come up when something happens and a leader of somesort says, "Clan ReallyStuffy is meeting Saturday at ten, and if you don't show, you're DEAD!" That's obviously a problem because not everyone has board access, and since it starts at ten, you don't have time to roleplay the message delivery or allow it to spread by word of mouth.

Again, it's not a big deal for this party, I just want to be sure we talk about these issues around gatherings.

This has been a public service message.

Only you can prevent clusterfucks.

So just to clarify, this will not count as an event, and there will be no extra XP for helping setup/teardown.

However, this does seem to be a very good chance for some interesting Role-Play. So if you wanna get cool noms this might be the place to go.

Thanks for the info, guys....

And the invitations were put up to Roxy to distribute to some of the others... and of course, anyone who saw the ads for the Agency and got curious enough to go to the website was given an invite... and there should be an ad in the paper the night of the party... I know that won't cause a whole lot of people to attend, but that's what Maylin's shooting for... keeping attendance under 200 people. It'll be advertised as a coming out party (hold the puns) and a charity fundraiser all in one.

While it won't be an xp event, it will be one that will earn intense gratitude from me, and yes... should be an interesting time.

Again, anyone with a few ideas or offerings for the party including equipment, etc, please let me know... or hell, just bring it along.

And remember.... it'll be an interesting chance to see who shows up a-la pimp... and who dresses like a dirty ho.

See ya then.

Oh... and in case you guys are wondering how we're pulling off The Embrace Agency.... well...

Watch the IC boards for a post of the commercials

Actually Broney, Arlo is the main contact for Daddy. He's essentially unfindable (without going to STs) except by contacting one of his whips. Arlo or Catie would be getting the invite.

Curse you, elder concept! Foiled again!
