    "Bachelor Party"
    This is a bachelor party that was thrown for Jeff, the Grim Reaper. He didn't realize how many friends he had until everyone showed up!

    Jason won't quit talking about how much he hates his "battleship" grey robe, and how he needs new glasses. Luckily, there were others at the party.


    Paul swears he didn't touch the dancer. The entertainment didn't last long after this.


    Luckily, there were some fireworks to keep this party going. It was raining hard, but Jeff still a great time.


    There were a lot of party games that evening. Jeff's favorite was "the king is dead," which involves using a birthday cake as human bait and waiting around for a certain someone to show up.

    "Telethon Party"
    Me and some folks, or better, some drink drunk friends, organized a Telethon tribute party in honour of Lord British.
    [​IMG]


    After some drinks, people started to dance and the party became crazy, with strange or maybe weird dancing styles. Also a Spider and a Clockwork Angel join our party!
    [​IMG]

    Our "sweet lady" started to use tables as dancefloor jumping all around following the musician’s notes!
    [​IMG]

    Party members started to drop down their money on a magic pot, getting a rain of Telethon Reward.
    [​IMG]

    All that just to wish our Lord British a memorable “Happy birthday!”

    Located in Port Graff, The Tempestry Tap & Tavern features outdoor seating and piano to rejuvenate the spirits weary travelers. If you are looking for a more quiet and intimate atmosphere pull up a drink and a seat next to the fire.

    Board Game Night at the Point West Nordic Hall of Valor​
    The EVL guild participated in a Chess/Checkers Board game tournament at the Point West Nordic Hall of Valor located next to the Shrine of Valor in the Point West city center. The food and drinks were good, the games were great, and the music was intense!
    [​IMG]
    The finals were close and quite heated.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    The championship round took place in the stone arena basement with spectators cheering on the contenders.
    [​IMG]
    It was a great time and culminated with a birthday tribute to Lord British.

    Pity Party

    My house and my party is located in Ardoris. As you can see from the photos taken it was to be a grand event. I even went out of the way to have Novia largest cheese selection. Alas the fates had other plans. The plague struck in Ardoris and ever since nobody wanted to come there to party. So, I helped myself to and any and all food, then drank myself to sleep. Lord British I hope your birthday is better than the Ardoris plague!!

    Wake UP Party

    Welcome to the Wake Up Party - Located at the corner of Hutchinson Heights and the Royal Thoroughfare in Central Brittany.

    Now just like every Saturday morning, we were busily preparing our studio for the wonderful citizens of Novia. This Saturday however, was going to be extra special because we were celebrating Lord British's Birthday! Selene welcomed our guests as they arrived and we kicked of our regular show with
    Lost in Novia. This is where Listeners get to help us find 'Baldo' as we hide him every week in one of the many new scenes. This week we had him hidden in the Blood River Outskirts! The Party was certainly getting into full swing and at the top of the hour we played our favourite 4th of July Game - The King's Favour - This game was created with the assistance of Lord British himself and we asked listeners about 5 of the Kings favourite things. Correct guesses were rewarded with Golden Cotos and at the end of the game everyone wished Lord British a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    The fun and frivolity continued with Selene's Best Bets for the weekend and our Secret Sound which had jackpotted recently to 60 thousand gold. This was finally won making it an even more fantastic celebration!
    The party continued right up until the end of our show -

    What better way to start your Saturday, than a dance party in Shroud of the Avatar!!!

    Here I am sweeping the dance floor ahead of our show.
    [​IMG]

    Selene is seen here welcoming our guests.

    [​IMG]

    The party is in FULL SWING!
    [​IMG]

    Everyone wishing Lord British a Happy Birthday!

    If anyone wants to try the King's Favour for themselves. How well do you know the king???

    A PARTY OF ONE

    I don't host parties and I rarely go to one because I spend most of my time in New Britannia mining for ores or gathering resources but I do enjoy decorating. For this contest, I redecorated the fourth floor of my Ornate Greenhouse Row House in Bladewyke to have a party ambiance.

    Bladewyke is a player owned town governed by @Brass Knuckles and it's right next to Etceter. You will find my Ornate Greenhouse Row House right near the entrance.

    Here are some screenshots for your viewing!

    R43 Welcome Quest After Party in Festival

    By Royal Warrant to serve Lord British, we present to you a player ran quest where you find adventure and fun.“ – Lord Gréagóir Pendragon

    Each Release means a new Welcome Quest, a way for players (old and new) to visit new Player Owned Towns and learn from its Governor. After the R43 Welcome Quest, everyone was invited for an After Party! It’s the perfect time to celebrate Lord British’s Birthday as well! Actually, it’s Festival, so give us any excuse and it’s time for a P-A-R-T-Y!!!

    The location is “The Underground” on the first level of the basement of the Festival Chalet. The Underground is a Kobold-Techno Dance Club motif with break-out parlors, mixing drink laboratory, kitchen and many forms of music. The latest musical addition is the new and completely awesome crafted grand piano!

    The friendliest composer in Novia Aengus Piper is on the piano, Lord British Birthday Cake and his shield in center, and the people are rolling in to have fun!

    [​IMG]

    As the party heats up, people are grabbing their welcome torches and letting down their hair. Lots of "Welcome Torches" are being lit with their special glow!

    [​IMG]

    Now in full swing, it's anything goes time! Lots of dance music being belted out by Engineer!

    [​IMG]

    With a grand piano like this, it's time for playing "Great Balls of Fire"! (Couldn't resist) Cyin's light on his feet in many different ways. :)

    [​IMG]

    As the party winds down, people didn't want to leave. Even Greagoir is in on the dancing! No closing time in Festival, though -- the party isn't over until the last person leaves!

    [​IMG]

    Shout outs go to: Gréagóir Pendragon, Tila Tenderfoot, Cyin, Aengus Piper, Havoc, and everyone who attended!

    Calypso Beach, Celestial Gardens, Novia

    [​IMG]

    Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to the best way to spend a party: surrounded by friends, sun, and the ocean! While at the beach, party-goers enjoy relaxation in the sun, but don't worry sunblock is but an arms reach away!

    [​IMG]

    Some prefer to maintain that perfect tan, while others venture out to the docks! Back-flipping and dancing anything can happen! But nothing beats a quick dip in the ocean to combat the heat!

    [​IMG]

    But there is always time for CAKE! And to wish Lord British the Happiest of Birthdays! May he reign forever more!

    [​IMG]

    To finish off the perfect party: relax with the one you love in the hot tub or tent! Or join us Pyros on the beach to dance the night away! Anything can happen at the beach! I guess that's why they say...Life is a Beach!

    Adultima the community night club named by Lord British

    [​IMG]
    Adultima has been a party mecca for a year and a half. The location has been home to many birthday parties, and other celebrations, and was the inspiration for the @Shooter Jenning's Countach album release after party. On the opening night of the night club, Lord British came and gave it the name it carries. The Night Club celebrates the community and the amazing individual talents. This is a tribute to team effort and not an individual. The original base design came from @Athanil after we talked about my vision. The current design was built as team effort from people from multiple guilds, including Memento Mori, Paxlair, Port Phoenix, Avatar's Radio, of course Order of Chivalry, and many others. Also, I would like to add we currently welcome Avatar's Radio live DJ event each Friday night. (Thank you @Jakdaw Foxlauden) We have been pleased to be the location of @Stryker Sparhawk's Happy Hour more than once, and hope to again in the future. More than once someone has messaged me and wanted to show someone the club, and sure enough, a party starts. The venue just seems to want people to dance! On Thursday, July 6th, Adultima will go PVP for the Tournament for the King event.

    Last night we started on the surface, in the ruins, for the @Lord British's Birthday Bash and then moved to Adultima. We had at least 30 at a time and 50 +/- attend over the event.

    This is a City Arena Basement and every space is used, even the secret room, but for that you will have to visit the club. (Maybe Friday nights for @Jakdaw Foxlauden's set)

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Firework's are hard to catch in screen shots because we all get so into watching them :)


    [​IMG]


    Although this does not meet the sizing rules I have included it because it holds the spirit of the venue and it was from opening night:

    I'm not one for parties. I don't dance. I don't mingle well. I often end up falling over and making a fool of myself. Still, I decided to attend this one party. R43 was a big deal to me and I wanted to see what others liked about it, too. It was much more lively than I expected. Music was playing loudly, people were dancing, and overall I felt uncomfortable. After a while I realized everyone at the party was overall acting goofy and I figured, "What the hell? I'll give it a shot."

    The music playing was a rock song, so I decided to do the normal head bang tolerated by the rock group. Am I doing it right?
    [​IMG]

    After a while I noticed that a lot of the party stopped dancing and just started staring at me. Jarred, I looked for a seat and sat down until the heat wore off me. Still, people would occasionally glance my way in silent puzzlement. Even the sparkly man was perplexed!
    [​IMG]

    And that was the last straw! If I'm going to be frowned at by a goof, then I need to be the bigger goof! I'm not leaving this party with my head down in shame. I'm going to do a silly dance and I'm going to OWN IT! I thought of the silliest, absolutely strangest dance I could come up with. One so horribly awful that it *HAD* to be good. Then it came to me... The STARRLTON! I got up, lifted a leg and my arms in an awkward fashion. Then I did it again with the next leg, again lifting my arms up in a clearly unprofessional manner. Then again, and again, and again. It was a hit! No one was goofier than me and I am proud of it!
    [​IMG]




    ... Except that dude in the assassins garb doing the happy dance. What's up with that guy?

    4Brain Afterparty

    After 4Brain events, there is always option to hang out for an afterparty. Without any doubdt, the most popular place is the bar. Offering usual drinks, unusual coctails, tropical fruit, and variety of fresh fish from the surrounding ocean. There is also some room between tropical vegetation and on the bleachers for imprmptu dance.
    [​IMG]


    The second most popular place (not counting the outhouse) is the hottub where both the contestants and the spectators can find refuge from the heat.
    [​IMG]

    And when it gets really cold at night, people can warm up by the big hearth.

    Welcome to "The Beer Garden - Bar and Grill" Located In the POT of Crossroads. My name is Rudyard and I own this fine establishment and would like to welcome all to visit my beautiful location and our lovely town. The Beer Garden offers every food available in Novia and welcome events and party's.
    [​IMG]
    Here is a map to the Location of the bar. A short walk from the entrance of the zone.
    Area: Crossroads (POT_forest_metropolis_02_template/Crossroads) Loc: (144.1, 39.0, -336.1)
    [​IMG]
    Now lets step around back and check out the patio and grill area. We have a small deck with tables and chairs for the people that would like some privacy and quiet dinning. Next to the grill is the chess board "available during the day" and a large buffet open to all patrons. During the day The Beer Garden is a local hangout for adventures wary from their travels.

    The patio. Tables can be reserved anytime.

    The inside of the bar before the noise starts. Bartender Buhb just got in an order of Novian Dragon Mead. Tonight will be one to remember.
    [​IMG]
    As night falls the guests start to show up for a small celebration of Lord British's birthday.
    [​IMG]
    Many drink are had inside the bar area with our master mixologist Buhb. We have tons of mead, beers and wines on stock. Something for everyone's taste.
    [​IMG]
    As night falls we step out onto the converted dance stage to party hard.
    [​IMG]
    and the dancing, drinking and singing begins.
    [​IMG]
    And as midnight hits we give a salute to a great man :) We all love and appreciate you Mr Lord British!
    [​IMG]
    There are still many parts of The Beer Garden that I don't have time to show you unfortunately. It is also location of an after hours nightclub in the basement and a super secret fighting ring, but that will have to wait for another time.
    [​IMG]
    Thank you Portalarium for holding this amazing event for the community. And great job everyone else who participated, loved all the entry's. :) To end this post I present to you the aftermath of the party.
    [​IMG]
