You Are Cordially Invited
WHAT: The Tirsfal Theatre Troupe’s 2nd Annual Big Hallow’s End Bash
WHERE: Caer Darrow
WHEN: Friday, October 23rd, starting at 7 PM WrA Server (9 MG Server)
WHO: YOU! THE HORDE! (or Alliance with Horde alts!)
WHY: Because we love you!
It’s that time again, everyone! The Tirisfal Theatre Troupe is celebrating its second year since we began performing for everyone!
People from all servers, all factions, all dimensions are welcome to attend our Annual Big Hallow’s End Bash, and celebrate two glorious years of acting and shenanigans! But if you come from another dimension, please check all Iron Horde armaments and Shadow Council membership cards at the door!
Come in costume! Order food from our exquisite menu! Dance the night away! Partake of the terrifying sights that grip this haunted locale! Attend any one of our many events going on through the evening! But don’t forget to sign the guest list, because no one can take you higher!
THE BOAT LEAKS, THE DOCK CREAKS
You step off the rickety old boat, and find yourself looking on at the harrowing isle of Caer Darrow. Walk the cobblestones of this isle steeped in tales of cabalist murder and eternal torment, where cadavers become monsters and spirits saw no rest!
The keep once overlooked the land from here, and forth from the doors of Scholomance which it became, the damnedable sins of Kel'thuzad came to fruition. The birth of the Scourge took place within these walls.
Though tranquil now, and evicted of the wickedness that long held it like a vice, the isle still taunts the living (or living impaired) with the haunting screams of those who once called it home.
What better place to blaze loud music, start uproars of laughter, and celebrate good times, am I right?
Just like last year, we plan to stuff a crazy amount of events throughout the night to take part, so if you don’t like one thing we’re doing, there’s always an alternative! Take a look at what we have planned so far, and know that more is to come!
I say, old chap, have you ever heard of naked boxing? Yes, seems to be quite the glorious sport among ruffians, indubitably.
We should make our own gentlemen’s version, where the goal is not to be completely naked, but to wear the classiest white or grey quality items and beat the monocles off one another in unarmed, hand to hand fisticuffs! Should you come in costume to the party, don’t forget to bring a tux or dress to get fiesty and fisty in. Mhm'yess, that last part was mild innuendo for all you lower society chaps, mmhmhmm.
No abilities, no special buffs, just a bunch of dukes and duchesses duking it out in the most dapper way possible! What’s that, you say? What shall the winner receive? That’s a surprise!
It pays to pet battle, and we’re gonna prove it! Special rules will apply in this particular tournament, and each round will have special rules, from only using specific types of pets, to using only pets you’ve not used throughout the night! Raise a nice balanced team, because the winner will walk out with some great prizes, as well as a chance to play against our Troupe Champion! With Hellsqueal having been booted off of Xeramas last year, who could this year’s champ be?
Prizes include several rare and ready to go battle pets, including…
Gooey Sha-ling (level 25)
Sen'jin Fetish (level 25)
COSTUME PARADE & CONTEST!
Let’s face it, even if this party weren’t happening near Hallow’s End, why the hell would we not make it a costume party anyway? We’re theater nerds!
Come dressed up as your favorite lore figure, or a creation of your own! Dress you and your friends in a large clunky horse costume, or try to take the prize alone! Following the costume parade, we will begin judging entries in the costume contest!*
There is a wonderful grand prize of 10,000g to the winning costume (or costumes!), with a 5,000g secondary prize, and 2,500g third prize!**
Of course, not everything need be a competition. Meet at the docks and take part in the costume parade, even if you aren’t in the costume contest! We’ll take it to the venue where we plan to judge the finalists, but be sure to wave at all the ghosts on your way there! They don’t like being ignored…
SIGN-UP EARLY FOR THE COSTUME CONTEST, OR WHEN THE PARTY BEGINS! ENTRIES CLOSE AT 9 (11 Moon Guard time)
* This year, to avoid confusion about how we do this, 10 finalists will be selected from among the best costumes, and the audience will vote for the 3 best among them. The addon “Poll” will be used to tally votes for ease.
** Please note that all gold prizes are WrA only. We are sorry for any inconveniences!
Last year, we sold raffle tickets at 150g a pop, with no limit on how many could be bought. Much to the dismay of many, we had someone win more than one prize due to this. This year, however, we’re changing the rules a bit. First, everyone who signs the guest list, be they from Wyrmrest or Moon Guard, or Proudmoore or what have you, is automatically entered in the drawing! Only one prize may be won by any single person.
And the best part? It’s all COMPLETELY FREE, just for signing our guestbook! Take a look at some of the prizes we’ve already acquired this year! Keep in mind, we’re still adding more prizes.
Void Shrouded Satchel (Heirloom/BoA)
Battered Hilt (YOU know the one!)
Tome of the Lost Legion (Quest item, gives Warlocks their green fire. A great cosmetic altering item, and quite rare!)
Get-Out-Of-Banishment-Free Amulet (AKA game-time!)
Transmog Helms (from the Blizz store!)
Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent (Alani)
AND MORE TO COME! We’re adding more prizes to this list all the time, so check back often to see what we’ve added! *
We love giving to the community, so we don’t mind giving any of these for nothing at all! No raffle tickets this year, you automatically have a chance of getting any of these great prizes just for being here with us! It’s our thanks to you!
PRE-SIGN UP BY SENDING A NOTE HERE ON TUMBLR, CONTAINING YOUR CHARACTER’S IC AND OOC NAME AND YOUR SERVER! (I promise I won’t miss the notes this time)
* In addition to prizes being added, some prizes MAY be distributed to other sub-events as well! Keep in mind, this list is subject to change, but each one of these mentioned will be up for grabs at the party!
Love those toybox items but hate not having anyone to play with? Come join us in the Toybox Arena, where we’ll coordinate several different matches based on the various fun and entertaining toys Blizzard has introduced throughout the years, now handily stored in the toybox tab and ripe for abuse! Don the spirit of a masked wrestler and take part in our Lucha Melee, or break out the old tonk controller and do your best to shoot the crap out of the competition! Like shiny things? Grab a wand and play some wand tag with us!
No prizes for this one (yet), but damned if it ain’t fun!
AT THE DOCKS, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM!
What would a Hallow’s End themed party be without scary stories? Come see our local lorekeeper down by the docks, and learn of the terrifying events that transpired on the very isle this party takes place on. WARNING, may be a little too much for those with weak stomachs…or the Alliance, mwahahahahaa!
THE TIRISFAL PLAYWRIGHT CONTEST
Take part in the festivities in the best way possible - write us a play! It can be about anything! An old tauren teaching a goblin the value of hard work, the meloncholy day in the life of the world’s most unlucky Forsaken, or perhaps an elf who deals with the horror of misplacing his hair care products!
The deadline for entries is October 16th! More details can be found here;
http://thetirisfaltheatretroupe.tumblr.com/post/127442691209/the-tirisfal-playwright-contest-now-until-oct
The winning play will be performed towards the end of the night, along with our own Hallow’s End tradition, “Wrap of the Lunch King”. The writer of the winning play will also be invited to take a bow with us at the end of the night!
FEATURE PRESENTATION: “WRAP OF THE LUNCH KING”
The Scourge War, truly a time of great loss and strife. Between the events that caused its tragedies to unfurl, and the eventual fall of the Lich King who sat at the helm of the conflict, very little humor can be found in these events.
That is PRECISELY why we look to change that! Laugh in the face of tragedies, and do not let them hold power over you! Bust your gut at the musical exploits of Kel’thuzad, as he woefully tries in vain to get a ‘happening’ party off the ground for his soldiers in Naxxramas, only to be interrupted constantly by that lumbering Fordring! Attend a side-splitting class under Instructor Razuvious, as his flawed teaching methods are picked apart one by one by none other than his own students! And laugh together in power over our vanquished enemy, the Lich King, as he is constantly interrupted at lunch time by the Twilight Cult going door to door to convert people.
The show will take place at the end of the night, with the prize raffle and fireworks show following it! We do hope you enjoy!
EXPLOSIONS, WE GOTTA HAVE MORE EXPLOSIONS!
Jaylith Duskholm has been cooking up one hell of a show for you all this year, and if our Silvermoon extravaganza or, hell, ANY of her beautifully coordinated shows are anything to go by, this will be one to remember, and a great closing ceremony as well! Those who stayed with us the whole evening will get a chance to marvel at the glorious work of Jaylith and the rest of the Tirisfal Theatre Troupe!
WANT TO HELP? WE WANT YOUR HELP!
Let’s face it, we’re a really small group! To make all this possible, we’re gonna need help from people like you! If you’d like to help us run the events, please get in contact with me! Care to donate gold or services? Get in touch with Atos-Wyrmrest Accord, Horde side if so! Workers for the evening will be paid by the hour in gold, and it’s gonna be a lot of fun no matter what, so why not join us?
We’re also in the market for a DJ, for live music streaming! If anyone has a stream they run regularly that they’d be willing to let us use as well, that too would be great!
Not every year can be a stellar success. While we always enjoy the time we spend performing for you, the RP community, I feel we’ve had a trialling year. We’ve failed to deliver on our ‘bigger and better’ motto that we took upon ourselves last year, and we’ve suffered a bit from it. However, we see the Big Bash as a new beginning, just as we did last year! We’re hoping to redifine ourselves, and to help everyone have as grand an evening as we can possibly bring!
So join in on this wonderful tradition, and be part of something grand!
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST AND REBLOG AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! WE WANT THE WHOLE WORLD OF WARCRAFT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS IF POSSIBLE!
