Donations for the Castle Siege

The upcoming castle siege is bound to be a big event, and as such, it needs some donations from anyone who can find time to make some. The following things are strongly desired for the upcoming event, and the more of them we can receive, the better the game will be!

- 10 dark green or brown tabards featuring the following mountain symbol (preferably sewn onto the tabards):
PLEASE NOTE: Situation has changed once again! We now have a person who has made the base tabards, but they do not have the Mountain Symbol upon them! If you are able to help add symbols to them (or create symbols that can be easily added to them on-site), please let me know as soon as possible! The mountain symbol must be sized to fit a 21 inch wide tabard.

- 3-5 large wall hangings of the same design
- 1 battering ram (not too heavy, and hopefully around 5 feet long, with a sufficiently padded head so as to not out-of-game destroy the object to be rammed). Please approve design with a staff member before building it. = Apparently in-progress! Yay!
- 6 (or more, for future use) longbow weapon reps = I believe these are in progress! Yay!
- 1000 blue colored packets
- 1000 spell packets (not blue or orange)
- 3 Pickable locks of varying difficulty
- Orc tusks or friendly plastic from which to make tusks = Probably Sufficient Supply Received! Yay!
- Durable "W"s (for Ward/Wizard Lock reps) Sufficient supply received! Yay!
- Any trap materials/supplies

If you are able to acquire/create any of the above, please send me an email at ast@sendmemail.net to let me know, so that we don't have too many people donating the same thing ("Check out these mountain tabards I made!" "Wait, you brought 10 mountain tabards? I thought I was the one who was supposed to make the mountain tabards..." "Hey, you two talkin' about mountain tabards? I made all ten that were requested!").

If you tell me you can donate something and then realize you can't do it for some reason or another, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can get another person working on it. If you complete a donation, let me know and I'll cross it off the list. As the event gets closer, I'll check up on people who said they were donating to see how things are coming along.

If you're an out of town player (or just want to ship in your donation), send any donations to 14201 Aspen Avenue, Prior Lake MN 55372.

As always, donations are rewarded with Goblin Stamps (roughly 5 gobbies: 1 dollar spent), so it's in your best interest to help out! :thumbsup:
 
Please note the above was posted by request, with so much going on with the Castle Siege, Alexander has agreed to take the head in keeping track of incoming donations.
 
I may or may not have time to make donations, I still have to find time to update my own stuff and with my current track of luck I may not even have time for ANYTHING.

I might be making lots of packets but I will officially inform if the task can be completed.
 
Hey again, folks!

The Castle Siege is a month away! Yay! With that being said, however, we're running out of time to make the donations above. As I said before, if there is anything you can do, please contact me at ast@sendmemail.net as soon as possible. Think of the gobbies and admiration from Dave (that means less rezzes at the castle for you ;) ) you can earn!

I'll see how much I can do for the spell packets as far as getting the materials first. Afterwards once I have enough sufficient material I'll contact you w/ how much I'll be able to donate. I'm making some for myself too, so that's why I'm buying first then contacting :P
 
I will definitely be making a significant amount of packets.
I am using a slightly abnormal fabric, so I am not registering this as a donation yet.
That way, if you reach as many as you need, or the fabric makes my work unacceptable for
donation, I will be giving them to players who need them.
these will be both arrow and spell packets.

I was planning on making some packets before this event. Which are you more in need of at this point? Let me know and I'll be happy to make some.

How are we doing on the donations? What do we still need or what has not yet been claimed?

The above is currently up to date (thanks gandian for keeping up with this!) You'll note most of the items are not yet tagged as sufficiently supplied yet, so there is still lots of room for those looking for sometime to donate!
 
What exactly do you want in the "W"'s? I mean I could go and pick up some of those wooden crafted W's at Wal-Mart if that's the kind you're looking for.
 
You should do that ICEY, then pick up some bright neon caution spray paint to paint them a color everybody notices!

If you do - totally snag one for our room if they're cheap!
 
Can you be a little more specific with "pick-able locks". Will players have a lock-picking kit?

It is to be assumed that a character intent on picking these locks would have legerdemain equipment which, probably, includes some form of lockpicks.
 
We were out of "W"s, so I bought some "M"'s instead :P

And if they're out of those, just buy sigmas. ;) I'm considering using the large "W" patch intended for the letter jackets of my high school (which is something I have no interest in buying) as a fancy Ward rep.

More seriously, did you actually purchase some (so I can cross them off the list), or are you merely making a letter joke?
 
I will pick some up next time I'm at Wal-Mart. Just give me a number and I'll get them for ya.
 
Has anyone done the patches yet? I could probably at least have patches made, tabards possibly.


Also can get a couple bows done.

I'm going to say somewhere around 5-8, though I may be wrong. Perhaps Dave will see this and clarify.

None of the Mountain symbol stuff has been created yet (I tried my hand at it once, but it kind of sucked). Creation of the Mountains would be absolutely wonderful, though I don't know if we could put them on tabards in time for the event unless someone else in the Chicago area did that as well.

Adam has said that he's working on 3-4 bows, so a few more bows would be wonderful!
 
A'ight. I'll be back in Wal-Mart on Friday, so I'll pick up a few.
