The only problem with that Beeficus is that which Meagon mentioned...were we even invited? We have debated that issue a bit on the Kami side and are still uncertain.

Now that things have cooled down a bit... This is actually a good point that I missed in the initial discussion. (And I hope I can respond to it without dragging up the rest of the thread.)

Note that initially the invitation was going to be only for Matis, as a Matis Royal wedding would logically be, but since so few people align to a civ, we (Noobles) requested it be extended to all Karavan so that less people would be excluded.

So, the invitation said "Matis and Karavan", but the invitation was in character. So what it means is that you show up to the event with a Kamist character, you'll be treated as an unwanted guest... but that's all part of the RP. The Royal family doesn't want Kamists at their wedding, but does that mean the Event Team doesn't want Kamists at the event?

As a Fryos I thought the protest was quite in line with the history. It was fun, and kept the feud alive. It is still just a game. :)

I have no problem with the Fyros protest. Those of us teamed for the fireworks show were entertained by it.My one comment was "Loryen needs more then one macro."(I see your apology and understand it was unintentional)I think many expected a different response from the Event Team.Considering that they were unaware of the level of negative RP they used the tools they had to handle it. In hindsight perhaps the Matisian guards should have attacked them but considering they are in character most likely dealing with multiple tells and toons they did the best they could to simulate removal or silencing. I was there at the wedding site 2 hours prior and it took a while to spawn all the guards and other staging for the wedding. Prolly not doable on the fly to spawn and have guards attack the interlopers. I'm not sure resetting a toons faction to -50 is possible with ingame tools.TPing and muting seem sensible RP alternatives. If muting lasted many hours then that was probably wrong. 30 minutes was probably sufficient. As for Karavan players tagging many probably were not prepared for PvP seeing they thought they were just going to a wedding.(I personally only carry a couple of smaller weapons but leave all my bigger weapons at home.) :).I thought overall the Event was a fun time and hopefully we can learn from these mistakes to provide better ones in the future.(Sorry I'm late to this discussion but a hurricane and no power for 133 hours can cramp your gaming.-Kilgoretrout

yes and no. No problem with them showing up and protesting it. But a major problem with them dragging it out until removed from the area despite repeated warnings from the event team to stop (which were given).
At first it felt good, part of the event. But after a while it began to beome a major annoyance.
