WTF did I spend 300 gold to promote my event when someone can WITHIN 1 MINUTE boost theirs? THIS IS PURE BS AND I WILL NEVER AGAIN PAY TO BOOST A ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT LEAST PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THAT A BOOST IS GOOD FOR 5 MINUTES OR SOMETHING. BS.

I've done it the last 2 years and it has grown well. Last year we did a 48 hour marathon and not to brag because I am not a "bigger is better" believer, but we were the top room in people almost the whole time. That had NOTHING to do with me but was because we had great DJs donating their time, a tremendous room builder in AlanaCyber who donated a fanatastically beautiful build room and helped organize immensely and a support staff that wanted to bring awareness to a worthy cause. I did both with very little organization and planning and sadly, I know I stepped on another room's toes who had planned an event the same weekend and I had no idea (one major reason for me doing this discord channel now, so we have a schedule of rooms having Breast Cancer Awareness events. It's an awesome cause that I truly hope someday we will never need to have. IF we cannot use this for good then what is the point of having such a community?

it's not a "pan" thing this is a full group thing so any and all ideas are welcome and will be discussed in the committee rooms I'm setting up. each room will have a person in charge and then like room designs, poster will be voted on or all will be used. The more who contribute the more they will participate and the better the event will be.

AS WE GET CLOSER, I WANT TO GET DOWN A SCHEDULE AND IDEAS FOR THIS YEARS BREAST CANCER WEEKEND EVENT IN OCTOBER. THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T DJ, YOU MAY BEFORE THEN DECIDE TO LEARN AND WANT TO OR HAVE GRAND IDEAS FOR THE EVENT. I PLAN TO MAKE IT THE 3RD WEEKEND IN OCTOBER AND BASED ON LAST YEAR'S EVEN IT SHOULD BE A NICE 48 HOUR MARATHON. PLEASE INVITE ANYONE YOU THINK MAY BE INTERESTED IN i'LL START DIVIDING UP CHANNELS FOR DJ'S, DANCERS, DESIGNERS AND SO ON AS NEEDED. ANYONE WANTING TO PLAN AN EVENT YOU ARE WELCOME TO SHARE THE DISCORD CHANNEL WITH ME AND I WILL MAKE A CHANNEL INSIDE FOR YOU TO PLAN AS WELL. WE CAN COORDINATE SO NO ONE HAS AN EVENT AT THE SAME TIME... AFTER ALL THIS IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE. https://discord.gg/FQwYvGnW

Always a pleasure. Really liked your set and will try to be there Wednesday, especially since Redline moved to Thursdays.

True. for an "official event" one could not expect much less. As for who they are pulling in. I think it was still too early for the USA (5:30 -6PM when we got there) a lot of EU and names I didn't recognize because I know so few of the EU crowd due to time zones. Yeah bigger rooms it's hard to follow local (which is in a way good because people are talking, I have been to rooms where there wer 50+ and local was dead, it's like why are people here? Also, and this is NOT a bitch or complaint because I truly love to do it, but the more people the more roses and I know I always miss someone and it is never intentional, but I hate the feeling that someone didn't get one and expected it and is disappointed. (I let THAT bother me more than I have fun giving them.... but that's just me.)

I went and it wasn't bad. Caught the end of Felia's set but Fran's cheap PC kept freezing so we had to leave. I have never been a fan of crowded places whether in real life or here, that's just me. But overall a great crowd and well built room. I was impressed.

MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME.... RAY DAVIES SINGING, DAVE FUCKING DAVIES ON THE LEAD GUITAR, PETER QUAIFE ON BASS AND MICK AVORY ON DRUMS.... FUCK YES...... GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME.

LOVED LEXX, but Farscape was a little bit better.

True, but I would argue that a lot of what we players do is not "official" to the game, where as when other games (like the ones I listed) when they add something everyone is affected. If I build a room and have a party, the game is not affected. Like when I had my Breast Cancer awareness 48 hour marathon... I asked for 3DX to get involved, I asked if I could set up the "donate to room builder" to a breast cancer organization (because someone pointed out to me it was against the rules to) and I never heard back, so I just had a entrance banner that occassionally I would throw out. It didn't affect the game at all. There was someone, I found out that had planned an event the same weekend. I honestly didn't know about it until the Monday before and all of a sudden I had a group of people hating me (and I think still do) because I refused to change dates. The Davinas had an event that Friday, but came to me and we helped each other, promoted each other on Discord and here. The other person chose to just hate me. WHY? If the event was for breast cancer awareness, why not still have it? Same tomorrow (tonight), you have something planned great... but almost every night people bounce from room to room. I never got the whole "it's a competition" idea between rooms. We're all here to have fun. If numbers are why you build a room and have a party, then you will be disappointed because except for your core group people are going to room hop. This lovense event is not mandatory and if I don't like the music I won't stay (99% of the time I have the radio turned off anyway). Give me a reason to room hop to your room. We don't all have to like each other or get along, but not every one is going to like a room and/or the music... we don't need to be nasty about it. Hell, once you get passed the flowers, I'm one of the biggest, asshole, selfish pricks in the game.... and if I can host a room where for 2 hours it was just me, the dj and a friend and people every now and then popped in and left because it was dead and it didn't affect my over blown ego... someone having a party and 20 people show up... then have fun with those 20 people... don't take it personally. Next Friday it'll be just you again no big event. Somewhere in there I had a point but then my overinflated ego had me talking about myself and the point was lost. :(. I don't no about "no competition" 3DX is by far the best from what i have heard, BUT I have also seen people leave for other games for one reason or another. So there is competition out there and NOT just the games... Imagine if Adam and Eve had heard about this (or another company along those lines) and decided they were going to go to one of the others and partner and try to beat Lovense to the punch. So, who knows. Having owned my own business once upon a time and having worked for my dad's company (granted 2 totally different industries than this), I know first hand how cut throat business competition can be and how something you plan and worked on, can backfire because your competition (whether better or not) beats you to the punch. Not saying THAT IS what happened but it is one possibility as to why they chose the date they did. And yes, no matter how this had been done in choosing who made the room, who danced, who dj'd there was always going to be drama and people second guessing.

In business though you may not want to give your competition that much of a warning. Say they had come out with this a month ago and announced it. Do you not think that the other games would have made plans and tried to pull players from here over to them? I owned my own business in the 90's and you truly never want your competition to know what big plans you have until it gets to a point where you know that competitor won't be able to do anything to stop it or have something bigger. Not saying that is the reason, BUT it could be. Or it could be a date set by Lovense that was unknown until last week for the same reason.

Agreed, no matter how they selected who did what, there would have been someone with hurt feelings who felt they deserved to have been considered. I think it says something that they did trust and are trusting people to perform. This isn't just a 3DX event but it is the celebration of a company willing to do business with this type of adult game. It's a win win for all concerned and hopefully opens the doors to others willing to develop a partnership. All these people saying they will boycott, why? Why would you try to sabotage this place from doing business with someone that may bring in more players and add to the community? You have your events already planned? GOOD, I doubt this will affect your rooms population or fun. But I get it, it's an ego thing for some. It's really sad that they want to try to sabotage something that could very well benefit them and all of us.
