TorilMUD Gatherings
TorilMUD Gatherings
With the last gathering so successful and so much fun, I got to thinking how often I should host these. Indiana sucks, but it is rather centrally located and there are a lot of mudders in this area. Plus, I think you guys know I'm capable of doing this well.

I believe Duard and Oriana are wanting to host a gathering next spring in Washington State also.
It just seems everyone is jumping on the 'hosting a gathering' bandwagon. Been wondering of late if I should even bother making it a tradition like I wanted to. If somebody somewhere is hosting a gathering every few months, I feel the novelty will wear off quickly. I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly cannot afford to go anywhere to attend another gathering, whether it is driving or flying or train. So yeah, me wanting to host the only gathering in the country here in my home is horribly selfish, but I enjoy planning and putting it into action so much, I wish no one else would have their own, hehe.
Just thinking lately now that everyone isn't so shy about meeting the people they've played a game with for the past 10 years and gatherings start popping up everywhere, there is no point for me to host a big one in a crappy state like Indiana and I should just give it up.

Summer is always better.
But in terms of 'everyone wants to do this now', I think that's something you should be proud of Jenera. You have taken a group of stereotypically socially inept people and brought them together. Further, you did it so well that others now want to emulate it. While it may lose the luster of being the only one, those that came to see you will prolly still come to see you, and those that live too far away will still be too far away. I get the feeling from those who went that your/their get-together will always be memorable.
Just my 2 cents.

Jenera,
While I agree that all posers should be shot (just kidding!), yours can be the traditional "Big" gathering - I'll still come to yours, with no luster lost. I might go to others as well... Always in search of the perfect barslut!!! (j/k). Anyhow, tell me when and tell me where, and I'll do my best to be there. Wow, that kinda rhymed. I should try to be the next Eminem. Which would be really funny, I think, since I can't carry a beat, let alone a tune!
Anyhow, props to the Indiana peeps for throwing the last gathering, and word to those who are setting up the next.
Don't mess with Jenera!

the toril party
it's hard for me to vote personally... if i just think of me. however next year it would be easier for it to be in the summer for me (possibly, that could be wrong).
since everyone else seems to say summer. me too. ok i'm gonna vote that. oh yeah, and every year :D

Hrmm.. it's pretty close between summer and winter.. but looks like every year is the big winner.. so far ;) giggle ;)

Hehe, I think people are misunderstanding my original post. I, in no way, want the gatherings I host to be the only 'getting together' of mudders. I organize little dinners and activities with the mudders in this area, who because of work, wives, gfs, and kids, would probably never see each other otherwise, even though we all live very close to each other.
It was more of a wistful thought that I enjoy hosting these gatherings so much that I wished I could be the only one who would arrange the nationwide version. Once a year, bug mudders all over the US, Canada, and even in other continents to come to my home and eat good comfort food, meet each other, etc., even though Indiana doesn't have much too offer.
It just seemed to me that nobody even cared about going through the stress of hosting a gathering, and yes, it does take quite a bit of planning despite what most may think. And suddenly, word of mouth got out of how much fun the people had and everyone jumped the bandwagon of wanting to host their own 'big gathering' . Instead of word of mouth leading to more people coming to my next gathering, it backfired on me and everyone wants to host their own. As of now, no less then 6 people are wanting to host the next 'big gathering' in their own niche of the country, and I'm just saying that I sighed in a bit of sadness, that's all.

Hei, just trust us when we say your gathering will always be the first and foremost in our minds. Besides, you have all the people I'd be interested in seeing again already in your area. For any other gathering to even come close, somebody would have to hold one in Canada, and even then, all those Canucks are too strung out all over the place up there.

Maybe it is time to think about having a 2006 Mardi Gras slumber party ...
I did invited folks to Mardi Gras slumber parties a number of years ago - but then I took a break from this community.
Some of you (many of you no longer regulars on this Mud) have slept on my floor and took quick showers - so you could go partake of the Mardi Gras experience.
Something to consider

I'm curious to know who voted that my gathering was lame....
Well that settles it. If you guys ever want to come to Indiana to a gathering here, just let me know in advance. Not going to make it tradition, as there is no point. That would only keep people from throwing big gatherings in their own niche of the country. Whenever you guys feel like coming to Indiana in winter, spring, summer, or fall in large numbers, just let me know and I'll start planning. Not likely I'll ever be able to afford to attend one someplace else. :)

fayren, i was thinking about mardi gras for next year.
as much as i enjoy mudding w/ you guys, i can't image buying a plane ticket to see you, unless it's convience.
example: if i was going to visit new york, i would try to hook up w/ thanuk.
or if i was going to mardi gras i would contact fayren
if i will hitting up a bar and wanted to hook up w/ some shank, i ask rer to be my wing man.
NEways, i'm flying into seattle, June 10th. getting there a little after midnight. if u wanna come pick me up and hang out between midnight-6am, hit me up.
sok

I think you are taking it wrong Hei .. take it as a compliment that others want to try to accomplish what you already have ... let your place be the BIG one, that other people in other parts of the country cannot attend , just like you couldnt attend one at .. say Our house ... other people have the same monetary/time constraints as you do .. and sounds/looks like people had WAY too much fun not to make it a tradition ...
as far as the person who said it was lame .. hell it could have been some jackass who didnt even go!
love,

I just don't want to make it tradition because multiple big gatherings across the country is silly. Yeah, everyone can have small little get togethers whereever they are, especially since, like you said Ambar, that many people have the same money constraints as I do. But I love hosting these gatherings, I've hosted 3 thus far, two for Toril and one for Everquest that I invited some Toril people to. I believe Sok, Gordex, and Brog showed up to that one. I just don't want to set a tradition anymore in case someone who is able and really wants to come to one I host here, is hosting one themselves whereever they live. :)

Why couldn't it be tradition.. this last one the planning started what, 5 months ahead of time?? Seems to me that with the planning starting several months before hand there shouldn't be a conflict in schedules..
