I am fine thank you. Yes that would be lovely! I love tea, I have never had Earl Grey before though so it will be nice to try it. I'm glad that everyone is nice, I have noticed it from my exploration. Now I have a reasonable looking avi I am prepared to explore all the forums now. And now here I am!

Edit: just out of curiosity, what are the "song" "dance" "feast" things under peoples avi's?

Ooh points that sounds good!
This will also be my first proper event.
I have been here through the user-run Circus event but not one run by the staff.
I'm glad that we can use points to get items, because like I am in real life, I don't like using up my money.

@Elara: The "Song", "Dance" and "Feast" icons represent the goddesses of the event Celes Paradi, which is starting really soon.
If you go to the Announcements Forum you can go on the Celes Paradi Thread and read about the event, then if you wish you can pick one of the goddesses to be on their team. You don't need to be on a team, but it's fun to be part of it.

the song, dance and feast images show which goddess we've pledged our allegiance to for Celes Paradi

I hate to run out on everyone but I have to go grocery shopping :sweat:
I'll talk to you later ^^

Cool thank you. So can anyone join? That sounds fun.

Yes, Elara. Please visit the Announcements forum. You'll find all the information there.
Joining a team isn't necessary, but it does make it more fun.

Hello everyone ^_^

Hello there Granny, how are you doing?

Elara-- There are no requirements for joining a team. Just read the goddesses info and choose which one yoiu want to support :)

This will be my first event I am participating in too XD

Cool. I have chose feast! yum. First event, exciting stuff eh?

Hello, Cloud. I didn't realize that you weren't here for the Easter event.
They are a lot of fun.

Hey Granny'
I had just started getting on when the easter event was startign up. I was still trying to figure out how to post and what differnet threads and forums were and so I didn't even bother trying to figure out the easter event.
So, yes, I was here for the easter event but I didn't participate. I wasn't even sure how to :sweat:

Now you are an "old hand" here.

I started in January, I believe. Sometime after the Christmas event.

I'm doing well:) I won this fabulous fan in the auction so that really made my week!

I would never say anything less than positive things about our members ;) Some of them have been wonderful.

Congratulations, Daria!
What auction was that? May I ask how much it cost?

Granny-- I'm an ''old hand'' now XD Hmm, what would that make the people that have been here since the start on Mene? :P

Daria-- It's definitely fun to win something. And that fan is nice :)

Mimi Hi ::pounce::

Guess what? Today, for the very first time, I reached the 500 gold limit on the games XD I'm not sure if I should feel excited or pathetic :sweat: . . . right now I feel like I have nothiing to do :|

Aww, you're goign to be leaving me ::looks at clock:: Oh, it's bed time for you. Didn't think about that.
No one seemed to be chatting on any of the threads today so I had plenty of time to play the games. Usually I'm tryuing to keep up with reading and replying that I don't get to play the games.

Starting next week I'm going to be on night shift (still twelve hours) My sleep schedule is going to be so screwed up DX I don't know when I'll be getting on to chat with yoiu guys.

Oh my, Mimi. I didn't see your post there.

My internet connection is so slow that I find myself posting, and then going away for awhile to let it complete.

@Granny: It was the giving back auction. I got my bid in just before the thread closed! I got it for 20000 and the price guide puts it at about 80000...SO I think I got a steal!

Oh my, Daria. That is really good! I would think that others would bid higher since the item is worth so much!

Hello, Syiian. How are you? Please come in and have a seat.

I know! The bid below mine was something like 7000. I think I got a great steal;) It's the most expensive item I own now:)! Of course I would never and can't sell it...but it's just really neat to own!

I'm back! Hello Syiian, welcome to Granny's and Daria that fan looks gorgeous ^^

So have there been loads of events? What exactly do you do in them? Is it basically just posting in threads and that or do they have special event items in the shops too?
