Hello lovely members! It’s time for the first NoLa event! For Valentine’s Day, we’ll be doing a picnic basket date auction! All proceeds will go to various charities around the city, and participation is not mandatory (for players or characters, but obviously the more the merrier!). Basically, anyone who wants to participate as an auctioned off date will put together a picnic basket with all the things they’d like to bring on a first date. Other people will then place their bids based on what’s in the basket, rather than who put it together! Obviously, for plotting purposes, we’re willing to let you guys choose who you would like to end up with. But- if you’re up for a random coupling, let us know! We’ll randomize anyone who wants it to end up with someone’s basket! The event will run from the 14th through the 21st of February. You are not required to set aside non-event threads during that time. Please send a message to the main or drop a note in the inbox by February 9th to let us know if you’ll be participating, whether or not you’ve spoken with another mun about pairing your characters or if you want a random pairing, and if your character is putting themselves on the block, what’s in their picnic basket?
