Well,
well… I hadn’t spent much time at the 6th Anniversary Party because there was
nothing new to get other than the Reveller’s Warsteed appearance (revellers-gilded-warsteed).
However, yesterday, the Anniversary Party was extended until May 6 and new
items were made available for bartering. The top billing on my radar was the Teal
Fireworks Laden Horse!
There
are also some new goodies that are modifications of similar goodies from last
year that match this teal horse, including a cloak (5 tokens), another
you-in-a-box outfit (10 tokens), a teal firework backpack (7 tokens), and a
cake hat (10 tokens). I will go snatch them up tonight and give them to the lildanas to
wear. To see previews of the cosmetics, go to CSTM (CSTM~new-anniversary-rewards) .
For
now, on to the Horse!
The
Teal Fireworks Laden Horse is a typical +62% speed horse with 200 morale, and
is very much like the Fireworks Laden Horse (All the Steeds (special-steeds-62)).
When bartering for him at the Games-Master, he is called the Teal Fireworks
Laden Steed. I have no idea why these name discrepancies happen, but there he
is. Here are a few pictures.
The
new fancy horse and I go to visit my friend Elrond in Rivendell.
Ok,
so Supergirl Red and Blue clashes a little with the horse’s green and purple.
What I noticed when I headed back to the Moors was that the standard moors
green outfit complements it really well!
We
watch the Blood Moon rise in the moors tonight… a confrontation is coming…
Launching Beer Patrons
Since
we had spent little time Partying this year, the lildanas were short on
anniversary tokens and couldn’t instantly get the horse so off they went to
Thorin’s Hall Beer Brawl. The beer brawl can be a lot of fun, especially when
played with people who are trying to have a good time and not bent on spoiling
the time of others. Thankfully, the lildanas found some like minded folks there
last night in Tilley, Merdo, Dropsey, and Degenerate.
Danadelion
got a few good launches, but I wonder if the big launches have been removed? Also, I notice that outside the arena, there are no
emotes allowed, because “it is serious business”.
In
previous years, emotes were allowed over near Gisli, the Games-Master. Tilley
pointed out that emotes are still allowed on the sides of the arena. Good to
know! I had to scroll back to the 4th Anniversary Party to find some dancing
pictures on Gisli’s platform. I knew I remembered it not being verboten before!
:)
Some Launch Shots remembered!
I mentioned
that big launches that were coordinated by a team were able to be executed in
previous festivals. I didn’t notice anyone ever really being hit high in the
brief time I was at this festival this year. I did promise pictures of previous festivals… because it did
happen, lol! This next set is a time when I was hanging out with Superfriends
at the 4th Anniversary party…
Up,
up, and away…
Up,
over the Dwarf statue…
Pressed
against the ceiling… I wonder how high I would have gone if the ceiling hadn’t
stopped me?
Over
the dwarf’s head, off the ceiling, flying out of the room…
From
ground launch…
See
the shadow rising as I approach the ceiling?
Over
the dwarf’s head…
I
also got to practice smacking others, I can’t have all the fun, hehe. Here is
Aerlinneth having just dodged the dwarf head…
Kalamari
exhibits a sonic boom effect as she rockets toward the sky…
And,
I always got a chuckle seeing this picture of Lynrieth. She launched so quickly
and so high that I nearly lost all visual on her; I caught this shot of her
foot just at the top of the image.
Good
times. Good times. May your Festival be high-flying fun!
