[Event] Skyview Suite Grand Opening

Discussion in 'Public Member Events' started by SteamingFire, Jun 8, 2021.

  1. It has been brought to my attention that multiple people have created multiple discord servers solely for the purpose of "dissing [my] hotels and crappy skins."
    ... the second part confuses me, since I never talk about my skins. I assume that they mean my head farming.
    Anyway, the party is cancelled. This is my last hotel and I was going to retire from EMC after this anyway, but this massive party will only serve to fuel the bad talk. In order to dispel the negativity, I'm going to lay low.
    Apologies to anyone who was looking forward to the party.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Want free promos? Want rupees?
    Want 10k just for showing up to a party?
    Then come to Skyview Suite's Grand Opening!
    Photo of some of the promos. The first one is a slightly used Ender Blade that will be given to the first person who arrives. All promos are unused *i think*, but I didn't stack them because I organized them into the order that they will be given out.

    This is to celebrate the completion of the 7th and last SF Hotel.

    No photos for now.
    You can visit at smp3 /v +skyview
    It will be in construction all the way up to the party date :p

    Location: smp3 /v +skyview
    Date: June 17, 2021
    Start Time: 7pm ET (EMC /time)
    End Time: 10pm ET, or 11pm ET with afterparty

    Rules and Notes:
    1. Follow all EMC rules.
    2. Bring only one account to the party.
    3. Please do not hoard any of the communal items such as the raw meat for the grill or the beach balls for the pool.
    4. You can keep anything that you get from the party, including the communal items.
    5. We will be using an optional discord server that is not EMC's official discord. This is a mature server. If you join, you acknowledge and agree to not have any qualms with using a mature discord server. If you want an invite to the server, please PM YellowWasTaken in-game or in forums. This will be used for voice chatting and music.
    6. During any time in the party, you may reserve a suite room. You may also pay if you wish, but you cannot officially move in until after the party. There will be a forum thread regarding Skyview Suite's rules and etc. later.

    Party Plan:
    First person to show up gets a slightly used Ender Blade.
    10k for everyone who shows up.

    First Hour: On the rooftop, "/v +skyview roof". Pool Trivia. Trivia questions based on anything pool/beach/summer-related. Win 5000r per first correct answer.
    In addition: Campfire grill, pool party, jacuzzi, free poolside drinks, yeeting off the roof
    Also: One round of hide 'n seek. A renamed animal will be hidden somewhere in the building. Find it and PM me the name first for a promo prize.
    To top it off: Every 10 minutes, a random person wins a promo.

    Second Hour: Secret event. To be announced on the hour.
    Also: Second round of hide 'n seek.

    Third Hour: In the bar, "/v +skyview bar". Guess My Song. I will "sing" song lyrics into res chat and you will guess what song I'm singing. Song title only, no artists needed. Win promos/special items.
    In addition: Free bar drinks
    Also: Third round of hide 'n seek.
    To top it off: Every 10 minutes, a random person wins a promo.

    Afterparty: Karaoke. Anyone can go up to the microphones and start "singing" into chat. This is just for fun. Free drinks will still be served.

    HIRING:
    Bartender. You do not have to brew any drinks; all drinks will be stocked beforehand. If we run out, we run out... and I really don't think that we'll run out. Your job is simply to stand behind the bars and give people the drinks that they ask for. You will be the only person with container perms for the bars, so please do not steal anything. There are recycling bins for empty bottles, but those won't fill up and you can't use them to restock (since you won't be brewing), so no need to touch the recycling bins. You must be available for the enter party and afterparty. Pay is 20,000r. You are allowed to participate in the party while bartending, but please put your bartending duties first.

    Let's have fun!
  2. I currently have it so that the discord server will be family-friendly for the EMC event, but it seems like that won't be possible in practice. Therefore, I will change it so that those who join the discord server must acknowledge and agree to using a mature discord server. I will later update the original post to reflect this.
    If you are under 18, join the discord at your own risk. The better option is to not join at all.

  3. Updated the discord note. Deleted the DJ hiring part and replaced it with a bartender hiring part.

    Edit: Added the promo photo.
  4. Quintupled the pool trivia prizes.

  6. I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope something positive happens between now and the 17th so this could be 'on' again. I'm sure not every player is into what you do. There are certainly players that are into it to be competitive, or to build amazing structures, or farms, great stores, etc. etc. But I thought there was room on EMC for all of these playing styles! In my case I have no interest in personally doing what you've been doing, but I still think it is a VERY valuable part of the community building and (mostly) fun attitude that I see on this server. Your work has certainly been one of the things that sets EMC apart. What a shame that a few people have poisoned the atmosphere. I've been greatly enjoying your builds, your help and knowledge of the game.

  7. From what the birdies are saying, it's more than just a few. So many servers, so many different server owners, I think it's more than half of the active players.
  8. Knowing the EMC playerbase, I can think of maybe a dozen people who might do this. It's most definitely not more than half of EMC players. I think it might be one bad actor making these statistics up to try and stop this event from happening. Why they would, I don't know, but that seems more likely to me personally than that actually being true.
    I dunno. Just my two cents. Your decision is your decision :)

  9. It will remain cancelled. Everyone was invited to my event, so all they're doing is denying themselves promos, rupees, free drinks, and a fun time. Yeah, I don't know why someone would do that, either.
    If what they wanted was for the event to be cancelled, then I guess we both benefited. They got their cancellation and so did I. In all honesty, I didn't want to go through with it for [redacted] reasons. Now I have an excuse not to.
    I have over a DC of promos now that need a home, though...
  10. I disagree... This is beyond sad and NOT what EMC is about!! You always hear from the bad, negatives. The silent, those who hold influence and attendance do care. I could fill this party. Some negativity has been spilled on this. It happens, so what.

    Remove that thread post and mine here just to show you what can be done with this!

    It is your event, do and advertise as you see fit but never respond to negatives with a neg.

    I'd say this...

    Hey , You all wish to dish this party? Let me serve you properly then... If you don't like what I have planned for this date show up and get free rotten flesh... Those that care, We are going to have a great time and hope you **Rotten's** decide to join when we all have a blast.

    Steam has put so much into this event. Are we really that Rotten EMC? Come on guys... What happened to community, friendship, forgiveness? Has covid gotten us this way?

    I think not! Let's Show Steam what this means as she only does this for EVERY SINGLE 1 OF YOU! Entire EMC players.

    Think before you react..... It can hurt others.....

    ~Merek~
  11. i say go with the party! who cares what others are saying! as long as your having fun and bringing positivity to the server then those people who are being ass-... rude can just not come and keep their thoughts and jokes to themselves!!

    this server is about positivity and friendship the fact that it is becoming a thing to discredit peoples idea and make fun of them is upsetting!

    I am 100% for keeping this party going! if it does I will try to be of attendance and see if I can also get a few others to come as well!

    if the party does continue, please let me know! I would love to donate some prizes and rupees for a giveaway for members who go to this party... don't let the negative people of this server tear down your ideas!!!!

  12. Hahaha!!!

    because of those fools Steam..... We, as a community will rise up and make this the best party EMC ever saw!

    Well said Gianluca99Star, I will gather all my friends to rally too!!

    Come on EMC peeps!! Who else can help us out!?!

  13. Well. I wasn't looking for anyone to rally or do anything about it. Was thinking that this event and the hotel would just kinda quietly fade away.
  14. I really don't understand the dissing.

    The minigames you organized are really fun for me and I enjoyed testing them (sadly timezones are a thing and I never managed to participate at an event, same reason I would not be able to join this event).

    I am new, so I don't feel the need/appeal of a hotel room, but you creating hotels and attractions makes the server more lively, I really don't understand what's the problem with these people.
    And it is not like a hotel takes away from other players in any way shape or form, everyone is still free to do their own thing.

    I understand you needing taking some time off, so do that if you feel that's helpful for you. I just hope you'll come back one day :)
    And remember, people dissing you and/or your creations, it's their problem, not yours.
  15. The 'heck' with the promos, I say all of us that want to and can, just show up on the 17th at 7pm est and lounge by the pool together! Errr, unless SteamingFire padlocks the building ;)

  16. The building will be open lol. Can't sell rooms if no one can visit :p
  17. Everybody gets bad-mouthed. Chickeneer, Aikar, Krysyy, and most surprisingly: Me. That's how you know you are well-known and making a decent impact on the community. If you let it get to you, the terrorists win.

    Now if I can just track down those people burning smooth stone...

  18. if true thats kinda sad lmao

    people are dumb, dont let them get to you
  19. Don't let the negative players effect your time on EMC. I'm all for a fun, positive time and that is what you have added to this server.

    I have zero interest in promos and rupees. What I have interest in is a lively chat and an active forum. Both will be much quieter without you.

    Live it up!!
