Hello, New Eden!

Capitalizing off the massive success of last year's snowball fight, I'm hosting another one, for the sake of Live Events and the community!

In the spirit of the holidays, for the sake of events and gatherings, I'm hosting a player gathering during which pilots can strap Festival Launchers to their ships and launch snowballs and fireworks at each other.

Snowball Fight Details:
Luminaire VII - Moon 6 - Federation Navy Assembly Plant
21-DEC-14 *Note date adjustment*
2100 EVE Time


* DJ Tranze from New Eden Radio (http://www.newedenradio.com/) has been invited to play Christmas music, and is hosting another Christmas lottery!

* DJ Dagaroth from New Eden Radio has confirmed his availability!

* Lightshows will be held (similar to the manner in which EVE Radio does on occasion)
-prizes will be devised based on discussions about this event: prizes include PLEX, a T3 Strategic Cruiser (because the availability of T3 Destroyers is unknown), a fully fit incursion battleship (either a Machariel, Nightmare, or Vindicator), and other comical gifts
-to participate, bring devices that emanate light: lasers, remote-repairs, cap transfers, target spectrum breakers, and drones

* "Secret Santa" style of gift exchanges between participants will be held (provided that participants bring gifts to exchange with each other)
-items worth under $200 million ISK are encouraged, to be contracted to me at Luminaire VII during the event to make the exchange with other participants: everyone who gives a gift gets a gift

Note: Last time, CCP Falcon and CCP Logibro showed up in CONCORD Battleships...Everyone, including CCP, are invited to attend!

Thank you to those who have contributed thus far!:
* Johnathan Whisler: PLEX, fireworks, snowballs, 2 Festival Launchers
* Jacob Katruun: $400,000,000
* Warp To Me Incursion Group: $2,000,000,000 (yes, that's 2 BILLION from the Warp To Me community!), channel advertisement
* Code Otomeya: 10 Exotic Dancers, Female
* Virion Stoneshard: $250,000,000
* Coyote Laughing: Snowballs and Fireworks
* Aenethra hellbane: $100,000,000, Caldari Navy Hookbill, 2 Crows, Gnosis, Flycatcher, SPZ-"Torch" Laser Sight Combat Ocular Enhancer

* Kueyen: $100,000,000
* Helix Incursions: Channel advertisement
* space gator: $100,000,000

Looks like a party.

Maybe if WASD controls are in place by this time we can see who flies the best while completely tanked on egg nog.

I'll be there!

Spreading awareness on it through Aurora News! (Ready yourself! The second Luminaire Snowball Fight is coming!)

Last year was a blast & great fun with all the spectacular lightshows, fireworks and all out snowball pelting! Also, the chasing & bumping was hilarious.

For people who are curious what kind of event it'll be, reading last year's article on it (The Luminaire Holiday Festival was a great success!) will give you an idea what it's all about: having fun! And getting to know new people through it. Not to mention seeing what spectacular sights people can pull off with lasers and other light/effect emitting modules!
Be there & have fun, don't miss out on the kickoff of the holiday season! Oh and if you don't have snowballs or festival launchers? Still be there, and engulf yourself in some holidat cheer, Eve style!

If reading isn't your thing, this video made by Thufir Bezluden gives a good visual impression of it: Luminaire Snowballs & Fireworks

Well that's two weekends of events. I just might screw up and have a good time this month. Last time my face cramped up from using muscles long left dormant.

I want to extend my greatest thanks for the Warp To Me Incursion Community for their tremendous donation of $2,000,000,000 ISK (yes, 2 BILLION ISK) towards the event!

Your contribution will go towards purchasing prizes and other equipment for the event!

It is an honor to fly with you all!

Warp To Me is a shield-centric incursion-running community which processes Sansha's Nation incursions much like The Valhalla Project, ISN, and other major groups. Warp To Me is a good place for fun, effective execution, and all-around great combat pilots, especially logistical pilots. They come from all walks of life, united in the purpose of neutralizing Sansha's Nation's attacks on New Eden and making tons of ISK while doing it!

Come check them out today (and discover why my nickname in the incursion world is "Steak Sauce!")

Thank you everyone for your donations and for attending the event!

It was even better than last year!

We had 20 people participate in the Secret Santa drive, and the light shows were awesome!

And of course, music by DJ Tranze and DJ Daggaroth from NewEdenRadio was absolutely glorious!

Congratulations to all the winners and pilots!

Hopefully, CCP Falcon was off in the distance watching us. :P

A great time! Here are the screenshots I took: https://imgur.com/a/t1HMC . I think this shot featuring Jandice is my favorite https://i.imgur.com/SCfz1eo.jpg , there are some other diamonds in the rough, especially towards the end. Thanks to all those involved in setting it up, the sponsors/donors, and New Eden Radio.

I had a great time at the event! Tested out a new Rokh party-fit, involving rapid-firing lasers. Turns out it was a big hit! The drawback of being less visible on long distance then the standard Large beam fit was more then compensated by the discolaser-feel it emitted!

Also, I was amazed at some of the people who competed in the Lightshows, it improved vastly from last year! I did notice alot less lasers then usual, think I was the only dedicated party laser-ship present all evening.

A big thanks to Commander A9 for organizing it & all the donaters who made this event such a great place to be with amazing prizes to win!

I published a report on this year's festival here: 'Luminaire Snowball Festival turns out amazing!'
Hope you'll all enjoy the read! It's published from an ingame viewpoint.
I thank Charles Surge & Jaantrag for their image-galleries (used images form both, credited them as the source + links to their galleries!)
Anyone else who wants to share his videos & image galleries is welcome to contact me! I don't mind adding them!

Cheers for everyone who was at the Luminaire Snowball Fight! Was great fun!

I wanted to say that Jandice's article really ties everything together so well. I was even there and I half-missed things like people getting shot from taking from the cans, the full list of winners, and James Baboli having a party ship available for people to borrow. Now I can point interested parties to her article instead of relying on images and my own memory and wording.

I want to thank Commander A9 again for all the effort he puts in. I don't know if he had help judging the lightshows, but that responsibility alone would have been trying enough for me. Then, of course there is the logistical effort he and any collaborators put in to deal with the awesomely generous prizes given by the other capsuleers or sponsors.

So, another cheer again for all involved!
