    Will there be a separate area designated where those of us who do not like bright lights and party music at memorials can gather, or is that something all attendees must be willing to accept?

    cool, usually when dental hosts a party, they have prizes. Can't wait!

    I just love the thinly veiled snide openly directed to other players, whose actions were themselves influenced by this group. And then the deliciously ironic use of very formal phrasing about each other to make them sound more important than they actually are.

    As for location, I will take suggestions: Starfleet Dental recognizes anyone and everyone's right to mourn/celebrate/express remembrance as they see fit and if someone can recommend a location appropriate for the occasion, I'll roll with it.

    If you don't like memorial spheres, then you can stand away from the main celebration. If you want to celebrate the life of a bright young actor, then you're definitely welcome to do so without judgment.

    If you can give absolute assurance that those who view disco balls as highly disrespectful during a memorial will not have their own area party bombed, at least by anyone in, or associated with, your armada, I'll attend. You like to claim the disco balls are not meant as trolling, this is your chance to prove it.

    no D4x or t'laru? if you're offering half the current kelvin ships available, might as well offer the other half too​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    the prizes being offered are being donated by fleet members.

    if someone donates those ships you mentioned they will be offered too.

    How many people can there be invited on the Kelvin Timeline Heavy Command Cruiser bridge? That is the closest thing to an appropriate location for Anton Yelchin. Although, the Spock Memorial on Vulcan could work.

    As far as no Disco Balls go, it is a visual representation of the celebration of a person's life. Wakes have always seemed to be a better way to celebrate someone who has passed on compared to the depressing nature of funerals. I assume there will be plenty of Romulan Ale and Bloodwine to honor his life.

    I will be there. Going to have to find a nice dress. Oh if only cryptic would allow the skant for male officers, it's canon after all

    I don't have anything to prove, honestly. Since SFD is hosting the event, nothing will be considered "highly disrespectful" by the organizers, but I will set a specific area of the zone as a "celebration-free zone".

    I appreciate your consideration, thank you.

    How do we register for entry into the prize draw ?

    Nice offerings from Dental as usual. I'll drop in for a little bit to celebrate a great life lived.

    Will there be any contests ? Or is this just purely a gathering and celebration ?

    Here are the current prizes being offered on Thursday. The number may grow as the week continues, but this is what's up for grabs:

    5x Plasmonic Leech

    1x Kelvin Timeline Federation Uniform

    1x Tholian Tarantula Dreadnought Cruiser

    1x Kelvin Timeline Intel Dreadnought Cruiser

    And, the grand prize of the night:

    1x Kelvin Timeline Heavy Command Cruiser

    Interesting prices, but to use a memorial as a lottery and promotional activity (in this case for Dental) rubs me the wrong way.
    No participation here.

    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Nabreeki agreed to designate as non-party ball area, so if all goes well this could be the first player event that allows both sides of the fence to gather together peacefully in remembrance of someone who was taken away too soon. For that, I support this event, and am considering making a donation myself.

    That's half 12 at night. That's a bit of a shame. But then again I'm not organising it am I?​​

    Yeah, I thought about that while planning, but I couldn't swing it at any other time during the day. I'll be out most of the weekend as well so can't do it then. Apologies for those across the pond.

    Well it's not really necessary to apologise. Due to time zones there's always going to be one side of the world that's fast asleep during community events.

    I'll probably just be watching 09 and ID as a tribute instead.

    Even though the Dental event won't be until later, there's no reason people can't gather at the established place throughout the day in remembrance.

    Your mailbox is full, just send them my way and I'll put them with the other prizes.
    The prizes are sent off but sadly I won't possibly be able to attend until 10:30 EDT due to work considerations. Therefore I will be celebrating his life as soon as I possibly can.

    The STARFLEET DENTAL Memorial Celebration/Giveaway Event is set for Thursday the 21st at 7:30 EDT on Bajor. I know the time doesn't work for everyone, but that's all I can swing this week.

    If anyone has any items they'd like to donate for the event, go ahead and send them my way and I'll add them to the pool. We have a few pubbies adding to the already generous prize pool, so it should be the most generous "funeral" in STO history.

    Additionally, I'm looking for any/all contest ideas for the event. If you have any ideas, send them to me in-game. No offense to my man Binks, who has graciously donated his money to Lowtax to keep an eye on this thread, but I think everyone benefits from a surprise or two. Life gets dull otherwise.

    oh boy

    Also, I don't know why you would post that chat log directly to the forums. It's obviously breaking TOS and will most likely result in mod action against you and not Bink.

    Deleted.

    Just tired of seeing his insufferable abuse towards others in the game.

    Yeah, Binkley is the OP of this thread. I guess his new method of avoiding another forums ban is pretending to be a Dental.

    That said: the memorial this Thursday is steaming ahead, and I'm very happy to report that the prize pool has grown significantly thanks to all the donated prizes I've received from Dentals and non-Dentals alike. While these prizes aren't ships, there a lot of cool little things that you can use or fetch for a few million EC.

    I will also be announcing a separate contest for the FORUMS/TWITTER ONLY for all of those people who can't make the event, but want to share in the celebration Stay tuned!

    Who in their right mind would actually want to pretend to be a member of Dental? ;)

    Your services are appreciated. I'll probably be sleeping during your event. (not like I deserve anything anyway) But I hope it goes well for you folks. :)
