HAUNT's Imperial Bar Crawl, a Federation and Klingon Empire player run event...   (April 2010)

You might be familiar with this introduction:

"Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life forms and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before."

In five separate series, intrepid adventurers went off into the unknown.  Ever noticed how often they could still find a bar?  Now thanks to the wonder of the Ferengi, you can too.   

It's time to party.  HAUNT has a tradition of hosting online events in games to build the community.  It's time to do so again. 

For all the worries and negatives that MMORPGs may start with these days, as both players and a community, we have sailed through these troubled waters and kept course.  As both players and developers, we have come a long way and have a bright adventure ahead of us.

So, I would suggest, that it is time to take a break.  It's time to take a break and as many a beer commercial has suggested, it is time to hit your favorite poison.

This Saturday, April 3rd, from 1 - 5 pm EDT ( 6 pm to 11 pm BST {London} / 10 am to 2 pm PDT {Los Angles}), we'll be at the new bar saying hello to both fleets and individuals, both allies and adversaries.  We invite every friendly player and fleet to do the same.

First, as most people may not be aware, STO has its own privately dedicated radio station.  There should be no reason not be listening to the same soundtrack, so tune into  http://www.subspace-radio.net/   and listen to yourself become part of STO history.

Second, this is BYOB party.  Since it's of limited value to drink in game, we the players shall do it.  Everyone is invited to participate as if they are out at their own local watering hole.  People under their culture's drinking age are encouraged to massively caffeinate themselves silly.

Third, this is a mixer.  That means feel free to move not just between factions, but between the three different play styles of gamers: Pve, Pvp and Rp.

Are you a Rper?  This entire player made episode would be right up your alley.  Just come on by and be yourself.  

   We're currently looking for RP judges to do something truly special with the event, with ideas ranging from a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre style of RP game to something more.  If you have an RP fleet with an idea or wish to help judge some of the best performances out there, you can volunteer here or give me a buzz at @Laylyn.  The RP part of the event runs the whole way through.

Are you a Pver?  Your invited to meet new people to recruit for infected runs while swilling more alcohol or caffeine than you would on your average Superbowl Sunday.  Once thou art good and tanked try a booze run on your favorite piece of pve.  We'll also be hosting a timed event to see who can clear infected the quickest.  

  The race launches at 3 PM.  We'll be look for a host of judges to monitor and fairly judge the event, you can volunteer here or contact me at @Laylyn.

Are you a Pvper?  I invite you to join a series of fights that break out int he nuetral stations "Holosuites".   Tune into the organized pvp channel to jump into one of these pre arranged matches:    http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=124877

For those that would like to try ground PVP (themetacially suggesting the desserted facitily and shanty town maps):

You can try the Montgomery Scott "You might want to try rephrasing that laddey" division.  That's right, it's a pvp, player created bar brawl match with no weapons allowed.  It's just fists and kits.   

    This division runs from 2 to 3 PM EDT.

You can try the Jean-Luc Picard "A couple of surly naussicans", stabbed through the heart division.  That's right, it's a pvp, player created bar match with only melee, kits, and fists.   

   This division runs from 3 to 4 PM EDT.

You can also try the Benjamin Sisko "I can live with it" division.  That's right, it's full on ground pvp, rather than just friendly fists and blades.   

   This division runs from 4 to 5 EDT.

Would you like to try space:

We will be opening up the Zefram Cochrane division.   Did you ever want to use your beginner craft with you RA5 or BG5 skills?  Now is your chance.   Any ship in any division may be twinked out with top gear for some pvp against equally tiered ships.   

 
Tier 2 will run from 2 to 3 PM EDT.
Tier 3 will run from 3 to 4 PM EDT.
Tier 4 will run from 4 to 5 PM EDT.
Winners from each division will have their images immortalized on a HAUNT website page for the event.  If fleets would like to enhance any of these rewards or up the anti, let us know and post so here.
 
One last note, games often have directors that put together great videos.  If such directors are interested in immortalizing a positive community event in a truly talented way, HAUNT will post a 1,000,000 energy credit reward for the best online video made of the event. 
 
Better versions of these ideas are encouraged.  Like every creative event, it's something made better by the synergy of players and fleets working together rather than just one idea.
 
The event is set.   It's now up to us as the player base to make it happen.   We'll see you there.
