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.

I wasn't going to advertise this so soon after the last thread was closed, but indeed -- there will be an event this Thursday, the 21st, at 7:30 pm EDT and there will be a ship giveaway accompanying said event.

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.

Tactical Rook's Endowment for Women (TREW) pledges to donate 5 leeches to the memorial celebration prize pool, in Anton Yelchin's name.

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.

spacebaronline · July 2016

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.

askray · July 2016

I'm hoping to be there just depends on work

shanksboy · July 2016

Your enthusian and generosity to the game and players alike need to be applauded SFD......I hope to be able to make the event and celebrate this actors short but wonderful life and career. Thank You Dental

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.

SFD memorial for Anton Yelchin!
