[H] The Ratchet Market

My mother is intent on dragging me off to clip the nails of my aunts dog. >.> I told her NOT THIS SUNDAY so she says to her I'LL BRING HER ON SUNDAY.

Not amused. I'll spend the day giving her a hard time until she apologises and tells her I can't make it.

If only the Lakeshire thing wasn't today as well. I'll come by Ratchet though it won't be the amount of time I'd have stayed there for :<

A big, big thank you to everyone who attended this. I had a lot of fun, and I hope others did too. If the interest in this is high enough, I might try to make it a monthly occurance, perhaps breathe new life into the Ratchet Tavern.

I'm STILL telling fortunes. :@ I've actually run out of cards. Must bring more next time!

Was good fun!

All the poor goblins getting stone walled by me, Grosh, and Koz. You were hillarious.

Fucking awesome event. I'd come any time again.

I was thoroughly disappointed at the lack of enthusiasm for SCIENCE at this event! Not one BElf or Troll couple allowed me to record their mating rituals for scientific study! Not one! What's a Goblin supposed to do with no materials?!

I didn't attend the event for very long due to focusing on the Spring Feast, but from what I saw it was - aside from the general spamminess that happens when you have lots of people RPing in /say - very nice, and I'd like to attend more like these in the future as long as they're not arranged on times I'm promised to other events!

I want pictures! I missed it due to work!

Morinth was all for them, as long as she got to watch!

Since this is very encouraging, I will look into setting the Market up again. Quite possibly with some bet-friendly underground fighting too, to spice things up. Just need to find willing gladiators/fighters.

Any input is obviously welcome. Since Cata has brought on a bit of a dip in RP, I reckon it's good to bring people together now and then, even though it might be counter-productive to spam market events every week.

Fighters? My crew would gladly help out! We're always fighting, usually each other.

I don't know if you were still there, but Flumiwick and Fizzlebik ended up in "Fisty cuffs" as Flumi put it, punching each other in the tavern, then started brawling outside until Morinth smashed their heads together. XD

They quickly made friends again. They even got out their goblin gadgetry and turned the tavern into Club Corsair >.> Topless male gobbos, dancing on the table tops, complete with lighting effects. (They used the Hellscreams Reach spotlights! XD)

I think it might be a good idea to spread out the vendors and events a bit, the next time.
It was a wee bit hectic around the inn, so perhaps have some vendors near the docks/bank, others at the inn, the fighting at the gallows in the western part of town etc etc.

Yar, I noticed that too x_x I was thinking about perhaps pre-arranging the stalls. Just didn't want people to feel it was too organised and complicated, but that they could just come and vendor their goods.

But for next time I could try that, perhaps make a bit of an area map over the activities, like you get in amusement parks o_o

Brilliant event! I'd say this should be done once a month!
It wouldn't need anyone to organize it, as people come set up their stands and then let's the RP begin!
Besides this is good business and good business is profit!

It was good to see such a magnitude of Horde-roleplayers. I'm glad Baboon Squad didn't buckle up and fill Ratchet with their dark vomit. They're like the Crawler, really. I agree with Razlow! Events like this should see a repeative return on a monthly basis. If no one wishes to host it, I can surely arrange something the like, not needed to be held in Ratchet!

I hope to see the same show of pirates, goblins, forsaken, orcs and trolls as last time! Obviously spiced with a bit of tareun and elves too! So don't be shy to show up and bring your wares!

I'll certainly be there! I think I'll bring a change of profession this time around though! Unless people want their fortunes told again, I actually ran out of cards last time, and we made about 100.

Might make use of Mori's Alchemy! Will give me a reason to level it and do a bit of IC studying, since the dear Captain's a lazy bugger of late.

This is tonight! Hope to see some people there!

Like last time, I'd like to give a huge thank you to all of you who showed up. I had a lot of fun during the event!

Next time, I'll up the reward for playing the grumpy chieftain, and make sure that the bugger laughs ;D

Hope people enjoyed it all!

The grumpy chieftain laughed. Too bad it was only after everyone had left and Truthteller was likely in a dark alley either getting stabbed or eaten by cannibal trolls.

I demand my 50 gold for making it happen! If I get it, I may even spare the Truthteller from my Retridin wrath.

Score! \o/ Love me some Market <3
