Mr. Khyber 2010!

[Nexx]

This is such an odd competition... I don't quite get it... er just appearances? or popularity?

Is there any sort of objectivity in this? Do they have to do a leather underwear parade (in lieu of swimsuits) and show how charitable they are (so, raise funds for newbies or something? In which case I will nominate whatever character Harncw would like to bring ) oh... and answer questions? (er, there's no marriage in this game fortunately...)

Moar rools xpanation pease.

To being telling you how this "competition" even worked is hard, but it was fun and it turned out to be a pretty big event. But the way I had it was by doing the following:

1. Fashion show - showing off their best looking armor, doing the "cat walk" in front of the people in the stormreach harbor.

2. Talent show - showing off their abilities. This one was a funny one...we had people bringing out their weapons and swinging them around cleaving, etc.. or even people who had high tumble that were able to do back flips, front flips.. it is silly to watch, but it just adds a little fun for people.

3. Interview - asking a series of questions. The contestants were able to give their own honest answers in a public chat in order for the people to judge them and choose their next Mr. Khyber. Now that there is a way to get your own channel in-game there will be a designated chat for everyone to enter so that they will not disturb the game play of others who are not attending this event.

If this does not sound like your cup of tea - you don't have to attend, it's just something fun to put together for the people of DDO. It gives them something different to do other than grind their daily dungeon. Plus, in 2007 we had +Sir Lawrence attend for the after party and might I say that was the best one we had! We had disco balls up and got to kill beefed up Minotaurs & Kobolds

I'm sure now that the game has changed a lot that the GM's will be too busy to attend, but here's having fingers crossed

Haha! There are plenty of girls who play this game, they're just hiding because they don't want desparate men hitting on them! That always gets annoying as hell when you've got some dude breathing into his mic just because he found out you're a chick...we have the right to game without being hit on! You just end up on squelch list

But anyway...


C'mon people enter in the **** contest, we need more people! Otherwise Arkat is going to win by default Lol!

Wait... who is "you"?
*Looks down*

lol. Actually that does sound like fun. I wasn't dissing it at all - I was just confuzzeled as to what happens. My only exposure to this sort of "beauty" pageant is TV/Movies/scandal rags.

1. Fashion show - showing off their best looking armor, doing the "cat walk" in front of the people in the stormreach harbor.

In 2008, Gwyar was decked out in the finest lime green gear out there. Helmet, shield, and armor were all the color of lime jello (I preferred Jade as the referenced color) and matched in style (scale armor with a "scaled" helmet)

2. Talent show - showing off their abilities. This one was a funny one...we had people bringing out their weapons and swinging them around cleaving, etc.. or even people who had high tumble that were able to do back flips, front flips.. it is silly to watch, but it just adds a little fun for people.

Gwyar had no talent. I did however have a little over a dozen potions of wonder that I quaffed as speedily as possible. It looked like I was having a colorful epileptic seizure, right up to the one that teleported me to the marketplace. Other people sang, did poetry, danced, etc. I recommend that route...

3. Interview - asking a series of questions. The contestants were able to give their own honest answers in a public chat in order for the people to judge them and choose their next Mr. Khyber.

IIRC, the question I won on was "What is the boiling point of alcohol?" (~149 degrees F, btw). I highly recommend knowing the answer right away, without having to look it up, as speed of reply was heavily influential in the judges decision.

It was lot of fun, and Gwyar was definitely the big underdog, so anyone does have a chance to win... it'll be a good time, and it can be fun for everyone. My guild spent a few weeks sending me the craziest gear they could find, in order to come up with a great outfit. Everyone got into the act.

Well, I am glad that it sounds fun to you. It definitely was something to be at, at the time. Those "beauty" pageants aren't fun anyway..haha Khyber's pageants are fun! Hope you will stop by and say hi or something when I figure out a date and time.

That's too cool that you got a matching outfit. Quaffing so many of those pots sounds like it would have been funny to watch. And you knowing the answer to the boiling point of alcohol is impressive, even I didn't even know that I'll have to be creative this year with my questions. Hm... I feel some questions coming from the players handbook though so I suggest you all should be brushing up on some reading! Haha! Then probably some random questions will be dropped as well.

It is nice to know that your guildies helped you out and got into the spirit of having fun with the event. My guildies were very excited to attend the event when I started it back in '07

This year I'm hoping it will be as successful as the last ones.

Nexx hows the kid doing? And please tell Kyo I sez hello.

Sure thing. The kiddo is doing great, he's already 14 months old and cute as ever! We've got #2 due in October (seeing why I can't hold the event in October like it has been before.) And you don't realize this, but you group with Kyo quite a bit for Shroud and stuff, he's just on an alt But yes, I will let him know you say hi.

[Kindoki]

What are you thinking for the date, Nexx?

[Arkat]

Looks like someone gutted the original post. What happened Nexx??

[Goolan]

You can count me in. I haven't missed one yet. Hopefully we have gotten past the "Warforge Prejudice" that used to run rampant.

[Nexx]

Don't ask me what happened to the original post because I don't have the slightest clue! I fixed it though and have come up with a date! Please check out the date and time, hopefully this will be ok with everyone. Updated list of contestants as well.

[Aussieee]

I think you missed to put in Eury.

[Hydro]

**** Hydro being female, lol I swear it was default!

[Eurytos]

I think you missed to put in Eury.

Aussie would vote for me.

edit: AUGUST 18th? Why so far away?

[Arkat]

August 18th? Really?

BTW...Kistilan is an Argonite. I think he was joking about entering.
