Player Event Support Goes Live! (07/28/2009)

[Tortalius]

those are probably alternate costumes. I'm sure the default is moogle if you dont change it.

The sign up page is glitched, at least in Firefox. The selection page for the items you want to use has problems scrolling and displaying the objects.

I saw the note about causing congestion = event cancellation, but it sounds like you get to cause chaos which lasts until a GM shows up. I predict some interesting obstacles appearing at the Colibri camp for no good reason!

Expand the height of your browser (are you keeping your window small to hide it at work?). The page is intentionally keeping you centered over the objects. You have to use the built-in scroll arrows at the bottom of the page to see more items. Your browser's scrollbars won't work (even in IE).

Edit: In other words, you didn't notice the yellow arrow buttons at the bottom of the list of objects, or your browser window was too small and they were hidden from your view.

Bubbling Bernie Lv1 'HNM' event comes to mind

lol

[Maxxthepenguin]

Honestly, this is not a bad thing. Probably not hard for them to do and, if people embrace it, could be a fun addition.

I can see social linkshells hosting their own Chocobo Races, Foot Races, or Scavenger Hunts.
But from the disclaimer at the bottom, it sounds like you're not allowed to have prizes for your events, what's the point?

My browser is at full size for a full size monitor. I did see the arrows but I was unable to click them because it kept repositioning the page.

Not allowed to have RL money as prizes, ingame shit seems ok

[Starless]

Naked run to Jeuno? Pssh, come on. That's too easy. Make it Throne Room and we'll have ourselves a party.

[Cutriss]

We held one last year from Windurst to the Cloister of Storms.

Our sadistic leader wanted to see how people would handle the crabs in the hallway up to it.

[Hanyoko]

Moogle : Monster #60 "My front right foot is on backwards"

Throw that in if you have spare moogle slots just to mess with them! And the participants!

Theory 1: You have NoScript or something else disallowing the page?

Theory 2: You are using your browser's artificial zoom feature? This is the feature where you hold CTRL and push + to zoom in or - to zoom out. Try hitting CTRL 0 to reset to the default zoom level and then see if the page works.

I have definitely seen script-heavy pages get messed up by zoom before.

So how has this event been panning out for people, who have tried it so far?

EDIT: btw, with the 106 bytes, I wonder if that is using one byte characters or two byte unicode characters...

I was going to try it out but after spending a while thinking about it I couldn't figure out anything tha
Pretty much every potential idea I came up with wouldn't work out with only 106 characters, that isn't ve
I don't know, maybe someone out there that's less cynical than me can come up with a way to use this feat
But I don't think so, it's pretty frustrating to me that they waste developer time on this garbage instea

[Khamsin]

I'll put mine in sea and make it say "Kupo! Attempting to tackle the mighty Absolute Virtue, are you? The secret to disabling him lies solely i"

And maybe sometime later, add a second moogle to finish the sentence with how you can reduce JoL's regen by killing more pets and how you should nuke according to the day.

Unless the 106 byte limit is using Unicode, and it's actually a 53 character limit.

In that case, I'll just add a moogle that says "I'm so scared, kupo! They say Candlejack's been lurki"

[Deimos]

"First they came for the moogles with messages longer than 106 characters, but I didn't speak up because m"

[Dimmauk]

So now Galkas can Marry Galkas?

Events are requested 7 to 14 days before the start date. The first events will begin popping up no sooner than August 4th.

Has anyone requested an event?
