 Charity Date Auction

Sponsored by Ly from Four Seasons Trading Company and Elaine Vance from Stella Trading.

As many of you may have heard merchants, caravans, and guards all heading to Oniga in order to sell their wares have run into trouble as of late thanks to the Silverfangs -- a bandit group. While personal losses of our owns have been suffered, we have the means to move on from it. However, for the smaller merchants, caravan drivers, and guards that lost their lives, and in turn, their families that lost their livelihoods. All proceeds earned at this charity auction will go directly to helping those who have suffered at the hands of the Silverfangs.

To those that attend, Elaine Vance has offered up a raffle at the end of the night with two prizes both consisting of 500 asagos to thank you all ever-so-kindly for showing up and giving your support even if you did not make a single bid!

Other than the auction, there will also be other festivities to enjoy on your own or with another. There's places to sit and talk as well as carnival games to play. Certainly a great spot for a first date! 

Due to the time of year and location, you may find it fun to put on more summery attire or perhaps colorful Onigan clothing? It's not every day that you get to dress up!


So what is a "date auction"? 

It is where 10 lovely men and women go onto stage offering a single date to the bidder that wins. However, they do have the right to refuse to go on a date with someone -- no questions asked. In that case, the next lowest bidder will win. The date can either be a romantic first date or simply two people seeking friendship. All participants must be of legal age. (16) Exceptions made for mechanations.

((OOC Note on Murai won: Since it's mainly NPCs that suffered, funds earned during this auction will be used to sponsor people that want to make community projects such as event spaces, places to hang out... Anything that will benefit the SL2 RP scene can ask me for some funding via discord and I'll distribute it out.

ALSO, people tend to like to throw lots of murai at these events so please bring tons if you are really interested in winning someone!))

Follow up Post!

Sorry for the delay on a follow up, but I'd like to thank people OOCly for their donations. EVERYTHING went to eventmins in order to provide more funds to buy extra levels to expand their event spaces for the enjoyment of all players. More places should make it easier on them and prevent them from having to do last minute building due to limited space!

And thank you to all that showed up even if you didn't donate! Your turnout was appreciated.
