Thank you to all those who participated in last night's finale event of "Roses Are Red"! We had an awesome turn out at Club Succubus, Rose Industrial, the Church of the Disciples, and Bathory Wharf, and we were really pleased to see everyone! The event couldn't have been so awesome without everyone's support!
We hope everyone had a great time decoding the riddles, surfing the Kirin Blossoms website, and fighting the good fight against Blood Rose as they tried to off three more people last night.
We wish to give special thank yous to the following people (in order of appearance):
-Chemuel and Nicks from the Sirens. Chemuel for getting shot in Tabor Park by our snipers and Nicks for reporting it on the DN1 forums.
-Olbaid and Darminian from Pluribus Neo. Olbaid for getting shot by snipers in Tabor Park again, and Darminian for reporting on it on the DN1 forums.
-Sattakan, Yahweh, and Aquilae, all for being wonderful sports and being target practice last night for Blood Rose. Thank you for your time, and your willingness to get shot in the name of storyline, lol.
-Tsurai for being the only Cypherite online to "apprehend me" and attempt to send me back to the system. It was suppose to be a mass attack by Somnus Fraternitas, but our wires got crossed somehow in the planning. However, thank you to Somnus for planning with us and giving us their support.
And, of course, thank you to Stanislava, the writer of Roses Are Red. Without her efforts/support/organizational skills, this event wouldn't exist. I was simply the PR person, lol. Stani was the true writer and producer of this great event.
And, of course of course, lol, big thanks to everyone in Blood Rose. Blood Rose was actually formed 2 months ago via a union of crews who previously held an alliance with the Merovingian but couldn't find a faction to fit into. After many long chats, Skype chats, planning, writing, and design, the backstory and concept of Blood Rose came into being. With this in mind, we began work on Roses Are Red together as a way to introduce our faction in an appropriate RP manner without just springing into being with no rhyme or reason.
During the planning and creation of Roses Are Red, the members of Blood Rose stayed separate and kept their mouths shut about the faction we were creating. As I have said before, Blood Rose has technically existed for 2 months now, but our dedication to this event and introducing the faction properly kept us as separate crews in game for a good 2 months. It was only last night when we finally united under the Blood Rose banner in order to finish the event properly and "take off our masks" to reveal who the assassins really were. The dedication of this entire faction to the ideals of the faction, even while we didn't exist in-game with a tag or a formal faction chat channel, were amazing.
Before anyone else asks, yes, Blood Rose is a permanent Merovingian faction. Yes, we are accepting applications. Our recruitment post will be up soon with more details about the faction, who we are, what we stand for, and how to apply.
Also, yes, Kirin Blossoms.com isn't going anywhere. We plan on using this website for more Blood Rose events and more in-game trickery. This is not the last you'll hear of a Blood Rose RP event. We are working on storylines and more RP where people will finally have proper antagonists to work against - us. Keep your eye out in the future for both our publically announced... and unannounced... storylines.
