Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011!

I wanted to wish everyone a happy, festive, and safe New Year's.  If your 2010 was a particularly tough one, there's always hope that with the turning of the calendar, better things are ahead.  Please be careful if you're celebrating away from home, don't drink and drive, and be on the alert for those that do...

I wanted to thank some people for a particularly great 2010...

Fiesta's Worst Quests

The names alone recall hours upon hours of torment and frustration... With each name, a shiver runs down your spine... Karasian's Hair, Bright Golden Bat Hair, Dark Crystal of Ratman Knight, Linous Horn, Phouch's Needlecoat, Gleaming Orb, Music Box, Ruby Guardian's Hair, Fragment of Memory, Luna's Breath..

Brings back painful memories doesn't it? And for those of you that yet to experience these quests, I wish you the best of luck.

So as I sit here waiting on a couple of Living Stones to respawn, it got me thinking... "What are your worst Fiesta quests?" Were they listed above? Maybe you just dread repeatables?

New Dance Previews!

Looks like we have a few new dances coming our way... the Heart Stomp, Salsa Strut, and hmm.. i dunno what the other one's called xD

But anyway, see for yourself!

Much Ado About Malephar...

If you're a frequent visitor to the forums, you may have noticed a hot-button topic that's been circulating the last several weeks and has generated a lot of positive and negative viewpoints.  That topic is Malephar.

If you're unaware, Malephar is the newest raid boss that arrived in Fiesta a couple months ago.  He has his own nifty little map accessible through Dark Land.  He's a bit different than Helga though..

Hey Everyone!

Welcome to my second Holiday Event, sponsored by OutSpark, another leg in the 'Christmas Spirit' set of events to celebrate this holiday season.  If you're at all unfamiliar with the Christmas Spirit Events, you can view the announcement here.  Also, if you wanted to see what you, and everyone else, has already collected, you can view that here.

(Edit 12/20/2010 - Event's long over so I minimized the posting to make navigating my blog easier.  You can still view the full posting by clicking the 'Read more' link just below.)

Under the Weather...... *sniff*

Hey guys, just giving you all an update, I stayed home from work sick yesterday and today.  What started out as some weird body aches turned into fever and even more body aches over the last couple of days.

The event will still go on as the posting was already completed back on Monday.  It will auto-post today in a little less than 5 hours from now.  I'm kinda heavily medicated so I may not be around to answer questions during the event and typically, at home, my internet is kinda unreliable around that time.

Looks like you guys have a pretty good idea of how to participate in the event, so that's good.  Gives me some peace of mind.

I'll try to check back in around 3pm Forum/OS time as the event should have its 10 winners by then.  Good luck everyone!

Holiday Scramble - GO!!!!!

Alrighty!  It's 2:30pm forum/OS time!  Images have been scattered now go find them!

Don't forget!
Once you have all of the words unscrambled, you need to send a forum PM to ‘PromosByFatal’ with your answers!  The first 10 winners will receive the White Santa Suit (7-day), while the first responder with the correct answers will receive the 30-day version of the White Santa Suit.  If you're unsure how to send a forum PM, take a look at this guide recently posted by GM_Kobal.

DO NOT SEND FORUM PMs to 'FatalLace'... entries will not be accepted there.

Details of the event are posted below if you're late getting this or if you just happened to stumble across it.

Good luck everyone!

Dice Game Tutorial

(reposting... old post disappeared :P)
Hey everyone!  By now many of you have either played, know someone who has played, or at least seen some of the system announcements regarding the Dice Game that the GMs have been hosting.  I've gone twice now on Bijou, and the first time I went and got a look at the board, it was pretty intimidating.  Hopefully, my little tutorial will at least familiarize you with what you're looking at when you get there.

Holiday Event #1: FatalLace's Holiday Scramble!

I will be hosting two different events so please stay tuned for more details!

I will give 48 hours notice before the start of my event(s).
