Sunday 2nd September
This Night is now remembered as "5 GM's, 3 ARK's, 2 Arrests, 1 murder and a BOMB!", because *that* just says so much about tonight. Everything happened.
And
here's the story....
The day had started off in
a much more different way than usual, mainly because of the mass weddings
at Newland. A good 50 or so couples made their way there to get married 
by
ARK's. Newland was packed more than its ever been before and all the soon-to-be
weds moved to the small hill to the north of the lake and taken away in
individual groups to be wed.
Verdeloth and Lev attended
and spoke to some RNN reporters while also being there for a reason. The
night before at the club was SpiritWolf and IrishMyst's bachelor/hen parties.
Lev and Verd were not only attending this wedding, but that of Baboons
most famous couple (for which they won an award later on). Anabelle and
Seiffer.
People cried, a leet sobbed,
and Lev ask the hot ARK female, Contarn out...but got no reply. And in
the sun of Newland across its lake view, our very own couple was wed by
a huge Atrox.
The
ceremony lasted for 5-10 minutes and was really well recieved.
Both said their "i
do's" and it was a fun experience to see.
After most of the ceremonies
had finished, it was time for the Baboons crew to leave to prepare for
a BIG night to come.
Tonight was a special night, the month anniversary organized by Purity to celebrate everything that has been achieved since the club opened.
This was helped when DJ Kegern
hacked the Omni-Tek citywide security system and announced the party over
all speakers throughout Omni-1. It was from here that tonight was beginning
to take a turn like no other.
PARTY!
Everywhere in the club was occupied by people. The dancefloor, the chillout
room, the party bar, the 2nd floor.....everywhere. Our bartenders for the
night, Yorp and Tsubo prepared well, filling the bar with drinks for all
to have and Purity and Baroness were giving away free drink to anyone that
wanted it.
The dancefloor was buzzing and SolarFlare was still backstage preparing
for another energy filled performance with new coloured flares...just waiting
to be shown off.
Before the party really began,
we saw 2 familiar faces, Forica, Enotsgarc, the Omni-Policemen that raided
the club the other night (see recent happenings) with their new officer
Lenord with them they asked how they could help out. And Omni-Pol bouncers
they became. They guarded the door searching people for stims and guns
as they came in and did a 
brilliant
job of it as well. 2 arrests were made over the course of the night, Beckie
was the most notable for stim selling and got transported to a prision
cell for a few hours before being released with a caution.
The guards also joined in dancing periodically throughout the night and had a really great time, this time having a very good relationship with club goers.
Jethos, another high ranking
Omni-Employee came in and from what i heard also enjoyed himself. It was
really great to see the establishment really getting to party and join
in with the people.
But, once again.....it was
time to get hot, time to get jiggy with it, and time to wear the dancefloor
down as far as it could go.....the DJ was here. And entering on stage with
his trademark...it was no surprise to hear the crowd go wild for SOLARFLARE!!!
It was only apt to have Baboons'
1st announced DJ here to take the decks tonight on its anniversary and
he put in yet another blistering performance.
Does this guy ever have
an off day?.....no...and *that's* why he's so popular.
After a good hour of dancing
on the floor and people socializing in other area's, it was time for the
event of the night. The awards.
The Top 10, that is usually
done for a memorable night, is today reserved for the top 10 of the month.
Something that wont be repeated for a long long time.
The
actual award was a flower of recognition for each person who has contributed
something special to the club over this time. The whole crowd was very
good natured and very well mannered as they all hushed as the awards were
announced and given out. And at the right moments, they cheered their hearts
out for the winners. They really made it a special night.
The first award was given
to Rattlehead, the "Contribution to Music" award given to him because
he supplied the 365live stream for all clubbers to listen to and enjoy.
DJ SolarFlare was
unbelievably cheered on for his award to recognize him as 1st announced
DJ at Baboons. An award that fitted the bill for the winner was Ambrosia
when he won his award for "Flare & Uniqueness"
since it fitted his
ego perfectly ;) lol (j/k)
Seiffer couldnt make
it, but Anabelle was on hand to pick up his two awards, one of which
was a joint award to both of them as "Most Famous Couple" of Baboons, a
real perfect ending to their wedding day. Seiffer also got the award
for biggest contribution award for his 100k prize to Maive in the "Battle
of the DJ's".
Throughout the award ceremony,
quips came fast n furious from Tappert, who thanked his scarecrow
in his speech to accept "Most Consistent Humour" award.
One that got the crowd going
was the beautiful Purity, picking up her award for being the first
person to dance on the tables, starting a craze.
As
every respectable award ceremony must have, we had to have one person who
couldnt be there on the night. No live satellite link up was available
from Tir, but HoneyFlash was honoured and cheered for her being
most prominent clanner.
The
penultimate award went to the lovely Baroness for being such a supportive
person towards Baboons. She'd given lots to the club over the month and
totally deserved this award.
But, the most prestigious
award of the night was the last, and was given to someone who had earned
everyone's respect. The "Most Original Roleplayer" award only goes to someone
who has brought something new, something different. This, went to the gracious
and well-liked by all Father Chagidiel. The roar went on for a good
2 minutes and applauses carried on into his speech because of his popularity.
The awards had really got
everyone going, and so it was no surprise that once the ceremony had finished...the
dancefloor was packed.
The award to Solar was the
beginning of the night for him... People were going mad for him. Fans flocked
to see him and get a glimpse of their idol. Several people came away happy.
Enotsgarc got his Armour signed by the man himself, Enchantress was besotted,
Beckie got back in time and everyone wanted their picture taken with him.
And *here* are just a few of them....
Signed Photo's of SolarFlare
can be purchased for 1k in creds at his official FanClub Store in Omni-Trade
Solar even signed some, like this one for Enotsgarc (to go along with his signed armour) :)
The night was still kicking
as well. Dancing carried on well into the night, and it was when a murder
occured that Omni-Pol took over. Remember "Death Isnt Fatal", but as one
of my hunting group says "...but it sure sux big time!"
A
search into the matter was conducted and no-one was allowed to leave the
club, not even Lev who had just announced he was about to leave for the
night. The cause of death was in the end only resulted in a "suspicious
unsolved crime", but it was this investigation which uncovered a bomber
within the building. Or at least it seemed that way at the time, as the
hoaxer explains in a letter he sent to the site......
"It all started during the Awards Party at baboons, I was drinking a beer or two, or three... well anyway somehow I got drunk. I noticed the Omni-Pol where there, so I figured I would do a Bomb Scare. It was funny at first.... Until they Detained me and took me to some volcano WAY north! I explored a lot and then I came to a bridge with a HUGE river bellow. I crossed it and I noticed MANY MANY Clans. They were all nice to me... at least until I passed over the bridge enough so that they could attack me. I ran to a lvl 167 omni who took 2 out but it wasn't enough! I was caught in the Cross fire! I was being hit for 200 and before I knew it, I laid dead in the center of a HUGE battlefield. Unfortunately I got no pictures of this battle I got stuck it, but boy was it an Adventure!!!"
As Omni-Pol still bouncered the club from inside and out, i had to leave.
The party carried on till morning and lots of people have said its the
most enjoable night they've had at the club yet. And *that's* saying something
considering the nights we've had in the past.
I'd like to thank everyone
who turned up, the ARK's, the GM's Kegern, Forica, Enotsgarc, Jethos and
Lenord (especially for announcing it and roleplaying so well with people,
it meant a lot to them), all the regulars, and most importantly....the
majority. You all added something unique and it really gave the club an
anniversary to remember.
Everyone who comes deserves
the accolade for making this club so popular.
