Greetings from Brynhildr’s premier academic institution!

On behalf of the Administration, Faculty, Staff and Students of the Nymian Royal Academy I, Headmistress Kela, formally and cordially do invite you to our second-ever server-wide event: a very Valentione’s Glamour Contest!

The event will take place on Sunday the 17th of February in the year 2019 at 6:00 in the evening, Pacific time. The location is the Library of the Royal Academy Campus, located in Shirogane, ward 12, plot 7. We will be using our basement auditorium, restaurant and bar for this event. All participants, including contestants, judges and spectators, should show up promptly so that the event can start on time, but there is no need to register with us in advance. Just bring yourself on the day of and be ready to follow instructions to help the event run smoothly!

The event will feature a Glamour Fashion Walk off. There are two categories for Valentione’s day: singles and couples. Each category has it’s own theme: singles – The Bachelor(ette); couples – Yin and Yang. Contestants will line up to the side of our stage and take turns walking the stage for the spectators and judges. Screenshots will be taken and uploaded externally via Discord where a popular vote of those in attendance will take place. The winners of the popular vote (determined by most reactions of any kind), the one single and each member of the couple pair (three total) will receive 2 million gil each as a Grand Prize.

In addition, members of the Audience are invited to be guest “judges” and award prizes of their choosing to their personal favorites, even should they not win the popular vote. Judges cannot participate in the contest if they are giving out a choice prize for that category, so this is a special way for people not participating as contestants to still contribute. Judges will be invited to announce and award prizes to their choices after the fashion walk has concluded and while votes are being tallied. As with our Starlight Formal, we invite the Brynhildr community to be generous in the spirit of making the event a success.

While everyone has a chance to vote, we will be turning up the music and having another dance/rave. Bring a second glamour if you want to be comfortable while you party hard!

Any questions can be addressed to myself via Discord DM @Kela#8130, or comment on our social media postings and someone will address your concerns. Thank you so much for making our server the best in North America, and for making the Royal Academy such a positive and successful influence. We couldn’t do what we do without you.

Headmistress Kekela nym Kela

Hello Brynhildr, Headmistress Kela here on behalf of the Royal Academy. We would like to cordially extend an invitation to you to join us for our Starlight Formal Ball.

The event will take place at 6:30pm Pacific Time on Sunday, December 16th in game at Shirogane ward 12, plot 7 the Royal Academy Libratorium.

The first part of the event will be a White Elephant in-game gift exchange. There are NO RESTRICTIONS on gifts brought for exchange in terms of content or price and we ask only that it is trade-able.

This will be a small group event, exchanges happening between full parties or smaller in the interest of time and efficiency. The full party members will organize their lists alphabetically beginning with a randomly determined letter so that they are all listed the same, then your party position number will be the order of play.

The player in position one will select the number of the person who’s gift he wants to open, then the person in that position trades his gift, revealing to the group in party chat what the gift is. The second player can then steal it (allowing player 1 to choose again from the remaining gifts) or choose a new gift for themselves. Gifts can only be traded three total times before they’re locked in! This continues until all (up to) eight players have received a gift, ending the exchange.

We encourage people to bring joke gifts, but we also recommend that at least some people bring truly generous prizes that people will fight over! Be as thoughtful and creative as you can be in the interest of the season!

After the gift exchange we will start the ball. This part of the event will be in character and we request that people interact as much as they feel comfortable with, dancing, conversing, playing music/performing, we will have orchestrion and stage available, as well as eating and drinking as we have a formal dining area and a bar adjacent to our dance floor. Please do your best to put together a formal glamour, as it is school-style formal dance. And bring all your favorite persistent dance emotes!

There will be a half-hour of chamber music played on the orchestrion, followed by a second half hour of rave tunes for all your /cheerjump needs!

This is the Royal Academy’s first event open to the larger Brynhildr community! Please come be a part of the beginning of something amazing that we as a Free Company are offering to you, the residents of our wonderful server, Brynhildr!
