Spooky Spooky.... Spiders?

For some people its the eight legs. For others its the eight eyes. For me its the painful screeching noise they make while dyeing that haunts my dreams. Traditionally spiders have been a forbidden word in SWL and for good reason. They hold nothing but painful memories. “TAKE HIM TO THE LIGHT!” Oh please god no have I really joined one of THOSE kinds of groups!

This Halloween prepare to embark on some revenge while simultaneously developing PTSD. One could really ask for nothing greater for Halloween. Spiders are the candy that just keeps on giving.

On Saturday October 21st there will be spiders, and lots of them. Prepare to embark with me on this nightmare as I attempt to kill as many as possible. I have enough to cause even the simplest of minds to crumble. However, donations during the event will be appreciated. Please review the following for times and event details:

TIMES

I will aim for 3 times slots with a minimum of 100 spiders per slot based on my current spider currency calculations.
[Event Time Announcer - Spider One] Slot 1
[Event Time Announcer - Spider Two] Slot 2 - 50% brainpower /50% trauma
[Event Time Announcer - Spider Three] Slot 3 - I might only be using basics or a macro

**Current Spider Currency = 586
**

Current Donations

Nine Swords (Cabal) - 50 Spiders
League of Monster Slayers (Cabal) - 50 Spiders
Participant Donations - 226 Spiders

RULES
1.) This is mostly a first come first serve event. But priority will be given to those donating spiders. Also there will be some priority given to high DPS players but only to the extent that is necessary to allow for relatively smooth killing times. You may reply in this thread with Character Name and IP as well as preferred time slot to help reserve a spot.

2.) If anyone attempts to bring the spider to the light they will be removed from the raid and there names will be stricken from the book (Templar or not).

3.) A 13 player instance will be maintained at all times. Should someone leave they can notify the raid and there spot will be filled. Unfortunately, I will not spend too much time moderating who fills the empty spot, it will be whoever makes it in first. So if you know who’s in the raid currently try to arrange a swap with them to increase your chances.

4.) AFK players will be asked to leave. And assuming there are always 13 players available to join ALTs will not be permitted. AFKing for a fight or two to deal with some RL distractions is fine. However, if I see your character not moving for long enough I will assume your brain has turned to mush and are no longer a useful member of society.

5.) I will also be accepting Lumies and Dragons for this event due to the low population numbers in this game.

That’s about it! Ill update this as time goes on. Hopefully the date and times will remain set but in the event anything changes Ill notify anoyone who has requested a spot!

Also think someone should volunteer themselves to share some tanking duties for you so you don’t get committed to a mental institution, even if it is to give you a break for a bit on these very,
I-N-S-A-N-E-L-Y generous spoooOOOoooky spooooder runs and what a great idea which also involves the wider community, there could be more of these types of community involved things outside of any FC events

^^ I would be happy to help on those tanking duties for slot 2 should you need anyone to cover . .
My limit is 2 spiders, no more . . :rofl:
No tanky talis on Meta, but do have a hammer I could use :rofl:

Hi, per my in-game message, please move Hengist and Morag from Group 3 to Group 2. Thanks!

Sincerest apologies for some of the last minute time shuffling. There was a mixup in the links versus what was being posted in game. My computer was incorrectly set to the wrong timezone as I fly to a different part of Canada for work. So I didnt take that into account. Let me know if any of the changes effect you and any donations will be returned in the event you cannot attend. Thanks!

SPOOKY SPIDER TIME! I’d like to sign up for Time Slot 3 at its expected time of 7 PM EDT. As Drenneth is aware, my in-game Nickname is Vomher! My current IP is 1696 - so close to E17!

I can only attend for about an hour to an hour and a half at the expected 7 PM EDT start time, but I’ll do my best to attend for what I can!

Thank you @Drenneth for an awesome opportunity and thank you to the main stars!
A triplet set of companions to rival that of thy sisters ay. :smirk:
They were like beacons of wisdom and held firm throughout.
We must all thank them too.
In all honesty, we couldn’t have done it without them.

Thanks EVERYONE!

Grand Total of spiders eliminated was 500!

Time Slot 1 killed a total of 200

Time Slot 2 killed a total of 180

Time Slot 3 killed a total of 120

A little shy of the 600 planned but the walls were closing in and I believe those who made it out did so holding onto their last strand mental energy that connected them to reality.

The three ghosts on the wall. May they forever remember the horrors that unfolded today. The screams will echo in there minds for an eternity.

Note: I believe all who signed up were able to attend. But should I have somehow missed you due to the time zone errors please let me know and I will gladly return any donated spiders. Otherwise I have 100 left to start off saving for next year! May your nightmares subside before that day comes.
