Charity Event

[The Real Keith]

Greetings!

On Saturday the 20th of December, The Secret Society will be hosting a public event located at the Britain blacksmith on the northern end of Britain through out the day. The purpose of this event will be to help new and old players alike by providing them with crafting services from all types of professions. Members of the guild will be asked to prepare their crafters prior to the event and gather the necessary resources and skill requirements to supply the community with exceptionally crafted items and services. For members who do not wish to use their own materials, they may be provided to you. We encourage everyone who participates to join the public UO Forever IRC server so that we may meet your demands in an orderly fashion.

There will be different types of interests in this event and all are welcome. We encourage everyone to participate whether young or veteran, rich or poor.

For those of you wishing to receive materials, simply join the UO Forever IRC server if you are capable and request the items within reason and they will be crafted for you. Bulk orders will not be met for the purpose of fairness. You may request any crafting services or materials that fall under trade skills. Runebooks, Armor, Weapons, Potions, etc. We will also be including services such as Lockpicking, poisoning, etc.

For those of you wishing to assist in the charity, join the UO Forever IRC server or contact Keith by whatever means you find suitable prior to the event and list your resources and skill levels. The crafters in this charity do not need to be The Secret Society members, anyone may volunteer. This can be used as a good way to get your name out as a crafter, hand out runes to your vendors, or offer sampled items in order to gain bulk orders. Please contact me atleast 1 or 2 days before the event takes place so I may take the necessary preparations.

Finally, for those of you who do not have quite as much time but would still like to help, we will be accepting any types of donations for this event, big or small. If you have spare ingots, potions, kegs, leather, crafting materials in general, gold, you name it, we will use it to give back to the community.

If this event proves successful (Enough people request items and take interest), we will be hosting this event every Saturday from now on. This being said, The Secret Society does not usually openly recruit and is by invitation only but if you are a crafter and interested in joining, please reply with your interest and we will contact you if chosen.​

I have received a few pms on the forums and irc about this event and I will answer those questions now.

What time will the event start and end?

The event will begin at roughly 11am Standard Mountain Time and last all day until 8pm Standard Mountain Time. If the requests and demands continue after 8pm, we will continue until the needs are met.​

How will you decide who gets what?

There will be no particular guideline to who gets what, we are trusting that people will only ask for what they need. We will not be filling bulk orders like 20 sets of leather. A reasonable request would be a GM crafted set of armor, a weapon, a stack of bandages. Basically a typical "player load out". We will however give players with the Young status extra items. We'll give them a few load outs.​

How will you keep track of who gets what?

The Secret Society has a new guild website and we will have a public thread that will be updated consistently through out the event. Members and participants of the event can reply to the thread and the names of the players will be consolidated into a single list at the top of the thread.​

I'd like to donate some items, how do I do that?

Just contact me in IRC as "Keith", PM me here on the forums, or reply to this thread with what you can spare and I will send a Secret Society guild member to collect those items. All players who donate to this project will be mentioned and thanked at the end of the event.
​

I'd like to participate, how can I help?

A day or two before the event, send me a message with your crafting skills and just come to Brit on the day of the event with any appropriate supplies.​

Are you guys recruiting, how can I join?

We are recruiting by invite only. We take notice of those who take interest in us, as well as offer invitations to random players who have no idea who we are. We recruit based on player demeanor, not just player skill. Simply show your interest in a reply, forum pm or irc PM. We are specifically looking for crafters for this event.​

Do you plan on hosting other events?

We plan on hosting this same event every Saturday night if all goes well. We also plan on hosting many other events in the future, particularly things that are beneficial to the community and players as a whole.​

This sounds like a great event. I dont have any crafters but I do receive hundreds of donation items such as these to give away. If you get a list going pm me and i may be able to fill orders a head of time to keep the lines moving. Also, i personally need to trade out several kegs if you are not xonsidering these "bulk" either way is fine. Pm me if you need help with anything else, I have lits of contacts the enjoy helping new players. +1

I'm trying to coordinate with the people who would like to volunteer their services. If you can send me a PM with what you can help with, I'd appreciate it. I have skype and I'm also in IRC. We appreciate the feedback and thank you for offering your help ^_^

bump, for a deserving cause

Most of the people who wanted to offer their services haven't replied to me, all of the resources are coming from my guild and I at the moment so if anyone at all can help with ingots, boards, leather, etc, please let me know. I'm in IRC, send me a PM so I'll see it. This happens today!
