ESTEEMED GUESTS, YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE MADDOX’S ANNUAL NEW YEAR’S EVE MASQUERADE BALL AT THE NEW YORK ROMANO HOTEL.
Ringing in the New Year for the residents of the Upper East Side always meant one thing: the Maddox’s incredibly luxurious, over-paid, private masquerade ball held in the rooftop lounge of The New York Romano Hotel. Endless champagne flutes, snacks flown in from every corner of the earth, and some of the finest jazz musicians in the city were only a few of the spectacles of the evening. Not only did the Maddox’s boast a plethora of wealth and luxuries at this party, but guests were ensured to be entertained by the most heart-stopping of surprises: and not just the good kind.
One year, it was the revelation of the adultery of Penelope Lauder, the next the storming out of Oscar Macy after realizing his partner wasn’t who he thought he was. When the alcohol flows and the air is tense and full of people wanting to turn over new leaves, there is bound to be some sort of secret revealed, especially for the lives of the oh-so-prim-and-proper Upper East Siders. Find a date, an outfit, and most importantly, a mask, and get ready to take on the night–it’s bount to be eventful.
OOC DETAILS
WHEN: OOC: January 2, 3PM EST – January 6, MIDNIGHT
IC: December 31st, 10 PM - January 1, 2 AM
WHERE: The New York Romano of ROMANO WORLDWIDE, Rooftop Lounge
INVITATIONS: Invitations are sent to most of the families residing in the Upper East Side and other acquaintances of the Maddox Family. Characters who are not directly in this group of people could either have also be sent a personal invitation (due to their relationship with Stella), or through a catering, art, or music service. Alternatively, you could have your muse choose to sneak into the party (no one would notice, as everyone is wearing masks anyway!), or come as the date of one of those invited.
INTERACTIONS: All interactions will be held on the dashboard, as we do not want to complicate the state of roleplay so early by using third-party sites or different outlets just yet. Please pause all current threads so that we can focus on the event threads.
GOSSIP GIRL / STELLA: Gossip Girl and Stella will have their eyes on you at all times, and may post updates about you or ask something of you during the event. Please message the main if you are uncomfortable with such tasks, and we will accommodate accordingly!
REMEMBER: to have fun and to keep our roleplaying environment as safe as possible! Of course, we’d love all the IC drama we can get, but please help us all out by communicating with your fellow members to make sure everyone is comfortable with the plotlines progressing during the event (arguments, revelations, etc.). If you have any concerns at all throughout the course of the event, please message the main and we will do our best to help resolve the situation.
TAG: Please tag anything related to the event (starters, outfits, self-paras, social media graphics, etc.) as reputable:event1.
Hi all! Because many of us are going back to school this week and settling back in, we will be lenient with activity and will not do any activity checks this week. We have also just posted a short task, which we hope you guys can complete in the meantime.
Hi all! To give you all some more time to celebrate the holidays and to give a chance for new members to be accepted before the event, we have decided to move back the start time of the event to JANUARY 2 at 3PM EST. Acceptances will occur this same day at 12 PM EST.
okay lovelies! we’re officially OPEN for interactions as of right now! thank you all again for applying, we’re seriously the most excited to write with you guys and see the way our little UES develops!!
Hi everyone! First off, thank you all for all the support and interest in our roleplay, us admins are absolutely thrilled with the reception we have received and are blown away by our applications thus far. In light of our recent additions to our app count, we have decided that once we reach 12 applications, we will set an official acceptance date. We aim to make this acceptance date only a few days after this mark, to give any last-minute applicants enough time to get their applications in. If you have any questions, please let us know! Thank you again for all your kind words and your interest, we can’t wait to begin roleplaying with you all soon!
