With Valentine’s Day coming up, we wanted to take this opportunity to host a different sort of RP event for you guys! If you’ve ever seen the Gilmore Girls episode A Tisket, A Tasket or the Hart of Dixie episode Sparks Fly, you’ll be familiar with the concept of a charity picnic auction, and this year, Auradon’s going to be hosting it’s very own.
The event (asuevent015) will officially take place in character on Saturday, February 13th, and characters will prepare anonymous picnic baskets to be sold off to the highest bidder! The prize isn’t just the contents of the basket, though -- whoever’s basket your character wins, they’ll get a chance to spend the day with that person, as well. This will be a fun chance to create new connections, or stir up drama between old ones.
However, there’s a lot of preparation for such an event, so we’ll have a few deadlines leading up to the event for you to follow OOC.
February 5, 2020: This will be the last day to submit baskets made by your characters. Please submit them to our new events blog with either a brief summary of what your muse would have in their picnic basket, or with pictures of what’s in it if you prefer. These will be posted on February 6th for everyone to bid on at random.
Note: If you have a pre-planned plot, please make sure you submit that by February 5th, as well. For instance, if Mun A and Mun B have decided ahead of time that Clay Clayton will be buying Maddy Mim’s basket, when Mad Maddy’s basket is submitted, please make a note that this basket is already sold to Clay. We will keep who bought the basket a secret until all winners are announced at a later date.
February 10, 2020: All bids must be submitted.
For instance, if Mun C decides that Derek Deppert likes the look of what’s in Basket 3, he’ll send a message to our new events blog that says ‘Derek bids on Basket 3.’
If there are no other bidders on this basket, then Derek will automatically win! However, if two or more people bid on the same basket, a randomizer will be used to determine who the winner is.
February 12, 2020: Basket winners will be posted on our new events blog ahead of the event on the 13th!
If you guys have any questions about the event, please let us know and we will be happy to clarify! Otherwise, we can’t wait to start seeing basket submissions come in to auradonstate-events very soon!
