Very early rough draft for event idea - please chime in with ideas

Name of event: To be decided

Series of events with an Animal specialist.. and then an animal / pet show with competition at the end
People enter it like a Miss World.. but with their pets and say why their pets are special and things like that
A RP event of sorts but focused on pets
>> bring together Pen, and RP and MC/Estoc

How about using the knowledge out of our Bestiary ? Look up which mobs have a pet equivalent and give a "lecture" on that subject ?

Or, make a sort of a talkshow of the event and have people use a pet that is also a mob. They then have to explain/ tell a story (the RP part) of how they tamed the mob into a pet. If someone doesn't have a pet that is a mob, have them tell a story of how they rescued the pet from a certain type of mob.

Rewards to go the most funny story, most sad, etc... To be judgded by our Rapier division ?

Ok.. cheesy idea - cheesy it's going to be.

DRAFT

Paws on Parade
Nine Swords presents ...

A multicolour extravaganza, with you and your pets!

Do you have a Canine, Feline or perhaps a feathered best friend? Bring them along to the 9S event for your pets - Paws on Parade.

Owners of Pets are welcome to register themselves and their pet to enter our Paws on Parade event - there will be a sequence of events that you can sign up to, with your pet of course. And for those that do, our judges will be handing out some awesome 9S Prizepacks.

When will this fantastic event be?
DATE to be decided (but probably this year )
Location: Eldwic
Time: EU evening on a Saturday maybe?

Oswald says 'woof'!

My pet list is pretty empty, but I have a German Shephard that will blow all competition away! I hope....

I got in touch with GSP and Fred today. Will see if they want to get involved with the ideas I have and if they have time to do this around when its our anniversary.

Ok looking like I will be aiming for the 25th June 2016 at around 19:00 for this event - still to be confirmed though

Edit: Event request submitted to GSP

I should be able to help as a judge or a prize fund holder. JollySwagMan will sort out the prizes. Some ideas for events:

Famous pets in history/fiction - owner dresses up and people have to guess what the pet would be (Lassie, Flipper etc)
An obstacle course with the pet
One person and their creature (sheepdog) trials - timed course
Pet fiction - short story about your pet - entry before the day of the event
Most pet dragons in one area (Guiness Book of World records attempt)
Most imaginative name - entry before the day of the event

Does the dancing golems achievement work all the time or only when the event is on? We could run that for a while.

Thank you for the ideas!

I am not sure how the obstacle course / timed course will work - if we pull the number of people we usually do for events, this might prove a bit chaotic :p

But I really like the other ideas and think they are feasible

With the pet fiction perhaps the top 3 winning entries could also be read at the event? Maybe these would need a word limit to them in that case?

Dancing golems acheivement only works in Agartha - and after it being done once, the Agartha instance needs time before it can be done again unless I remember incorrectly.

I can also provide prizes as before.

Other ideas:
Pet photo contest (done in advance of course, with winner announced during event)
Dress like your pet

The golem dance idea is intriguing. Is the idea to help people that need the achievement? Could be time consuming, what with the difficulty of procuring fresh Agartha instances, but it would definitely be something unique.
