Party Planning!

[Carl]

Carl's second novel is undergoing the editing process and the printing presses will soon be warming up to produce the first edition. Time to start planning the Launch Party!

I'm shooting for the weekend of April 27th-28th, as it should be a weekend I don't have to work and there's no holidays or family things for me to contend with. Start time will likely be 7 PM EST. I'll be asking RFG to DJ the event, of course.

Only thing I haven't really nailed down is the location so I wouldn't mind some feeback on my candidates:

Hotel Wahid Rooftop (Said's Location, The Scorched Desert)
+Plenty of Space for people.
+Appropriate for the new novel taking place in Egypt.
+Great choice considering all the hoopla surrounding Egypt right now. (Could even RP that Said is a "special guest")
-Nearest Anima well is some ways away.
-Ghouls everywhere around the rooftop. Escorts for lowbies and guards around the party would probably be needed.

The Franklin Mansion (Eleanor Franklin's Location; Blue Mountains)
+Can RP that Franklin is renting the Mansion out for the party.
+The party shouldn't interfere with any quests at this location.
-The path to the Mansion has a few Wendigo and Ak'ab along the way that could cause headaches for lowbies.
-No one "main room" that can be designated a dance floor, could get cramped if there's huge turnout.

Kingsmouth City Hall (Kingsmouth Town)
+Nice big main room with a clear floor for dancing.
+Not a quest hub at all.
+Literally any level player can get to it.
-A "bouncer" would need to be posted at the door for any stray zombies trying to crash the party.
-A few investigation missions do pass through City Hall.

Any thoughts or other candidates? Do share!

I'd pick between the roof and the city hall. The mansion would as you said get crowded with no large space and a fair few people who'd I assume are doing the main quest line or the missions from the old lady. Also people would step on the cats D:
And getting a bouncer to stand at the door wouldn't be hard xD I mean Sera does that at parties anyway ^_^

there's some better roofs i think in al meryah that are a bit easier to get to i think. what about those?

[Ammie]

The roof of the hookah bar was pretty spacious as I remember, and there's no aggro or quests there either. And hookahs.

A hookah bar? People might start wondering where Carl gets the "inspirations" for his work! ;D I'll have to say, "Shay picked the location" or something like that.
