Our Imladris Family Photo

We are all saddened by the closure of our home for many years, Imladris. We've formed such a terrific community. To celebrate our time together, some people have suggested we have a farewell photo shoot with all of us together for one last time. What do you say?

This thread is intended to lock down the time and place for the photo.

Location: The suggested location is by the Last Homely House in Imladris (Rivendell), to go with our name. Is this okay or does anyone have other suggestions?

Datetime: This one's harder: what date and time works best for everyone? Please respond with your input and we'll try to find what works best for everyone. Are there days of the week that are better than others? What about Saturday evenings? Let's start there and we can change based on feedback. I would think we'd need to do this before the end of September. So some possible dates are:
* Saturday August 22
* Saturday August 29
* Saturday September 5
* Saturday September 12
* Saturday September 19
* Saturday September 26

Weebly-wobbly Timey-wimey stuff: How about 9pm Eastern (8 central, 7 Pacific)? Any other choices, jump in!


Any thoughts? Would love to see this happen, please jump in!! Thanks, and *hugs* to all my wonderful Imladrisian friends :)

You know what also would be nice even though slightly stupid? One last horse parade in Bree.

that's actually a pretty cool idea.



ning, i'm good for any of those dates. :)

What a great idea. Count me in.

The time is OK, just fix the date and I'm in :)

When I first considered this idea I thought the stairs at the entrance/exit of Moria (Lothlorien Side) would help to stagger everyone for the screenshot.
But there may well be people who simply cant get there yet, so I like the idea of Rivendell, the slight slope in front of The Last Homely House maybe sufficient.

Parade is a good idea as well, infact we could even tie in a chicken run. Maybe you could convince Iorviel to herd the cats that are Lagspike to show up?

Riddle competition?

May as well make a day of it.



Oh, and make sure everyone disables their titles for the photo.

Just pick the date. I'll try to be there no matter what. ;)

Count me in whichever date you decide.
Thanks Ning, for setting this up. Oh and don't forget your matches. ;)

Server wide picture - 3:00 pm server time, Saturday, 8/29 @ the Last Homely House. Everyone is invited! Contact Audriel for details.

Our picture in Imladris, of course!

Cats are herded, family events are moved, and Lag Spike is coming.

Is it too late (or selfish) to ask to move the time a to a couple hours later? As it is, it's almost certain I can't make it :( Have to attend a wedding merely 2 hours before the event...

I don't see why there can't be future 'family photos'. I'm considering today to be 'gathering #1' and that we still have time to gather a few more times for those who can't make this time or want to bring on an alt or something to that effect.

This was the best big group shot I was able to get. Maybe we should take smaller group photos?

That would be great! (Came home 6 hours after the event, couldn't have made it anyway.)

I'm not on Imladris but those are some great screenshots and they show a lot of community spirit.

So sorry I couldn't make it - had a family thing I couldn't miss; but it makes me so happy to see the pictures! :) I will definitely be there if a similar event is held again.

I am sure people will be willing to gather for more in the future.
