    Excellent! Oaky helped me extensively with the room skin and I'm putting the innards together now. Hop in when you have time. :D

    I swear I thought I replied to your mail message about the portals...Niboota's Dojo portals should be in both Niboota's Kromzek and Building's Kromzek. That entry has been decorated by Febrith on Thurgadin I just haven't recreated on AB yet. I thought you were moving the dojo portal to by part of your room? If not, I will try to recreate the entry asap.

    Wow! Awesome! I need to get crackin myself so I can give an update on item count left. I have to finish this project I am working on...I am getting close now.

    Hey! I'm...er...done...-ish...um...I came up with the idea in the first place! And I added...one item...to the room I was assigned to with my HoF Carpy and Katz... :oops: The rest of Katz's job was so perfect, I didn't want to add or subtract (or multiply or divide) anything major. :)

    I also did some "editing"! :) Tweaked some things here and there so they behaved better ("Manners maketh items. >PUNCH<"). :)

    Uwk
    who should never, ever agree to multiple projects at the same time...ever X-P

    Has a specific day(s)/time(s) been determined? A schedule?
    I can expect an amount of exhaustion at receiving soooooo many gifts in a single day,..
    not to mention the videography that will be conducted for each of the micro-tours by Niboota and yourself, Ocarinah,.... ;)

    There is no real schedule yet except that people need to finish up decorating by Saturday, July 1st 2017 at 11:59 p.m. PST so that her house(s) can be revealed to her on Friday, July 7th 2017 which is her birthday. I have been working on getting each of the areas recreated on AB but still have a ways to go before I can give exact item count that is available to those that need more count. It will take a bit for me to recreate all the signs and house actors too but will have a count before I finish that part up. Not exactly sure reveal will happen exactly on her birthday yet. When we get a bit closer to the end date I will see if she knows her schedule for around her birthday. I can ask her if she wants to tour by herself, with me or with others that decorated/assisted or any other way she wants to receive her gift. It is really up to her since she is extremely busy. Will keep you posted.

    I kind of figured the big reveal would be dependent upon Niboota's availability, due to her real life schedule. I really hope, however, that she will be able to receive her 'gifts' on her birthday, or at least on Saturday. :)

    The Niboota Dojo is finally COMPLETE! Yayyyyy! Can hardly wait until Niboota see's her newly decorated homes! :D

    This event ends Saturday, July 1st 2017 at 11:59 p.m. PST .

    Kromzek House
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    There are 80 regular and 285 building block item count that are extra.

    Area 1/Entry by Febrith is loaded into Niboota's Kromzek house
    Room 1 by Valzen is loaded into Niboota's Kromzek house (hopefully I got the 5 problem items correct)
    Room 5 by Alynaryne (Katz) and Vdova (Uwk) is loaded into Niboota's Kromzek house
    Room 6 by DVC Team is loaded into Niboota's Kromzek house

    I have heard from Boglily (Room 8) and Ennia (Room 3) that they will be finished before deadline.
    I haven't heard from Yamantanka about room 4 but has a major portion of room completed.
    I haven't heard from Guinvere about Room 7 / Breakout area.
    I haven't heard from Arynel & Melyshia about Room 2.
    I plan on loading what Yamantanka has done even if not completely finished by deadline. If I don't hear back about Rooms 2, 7 / Breakout area then I will try to put something together for those rooms myself.


    Dhalgar House
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Kianne was finished but needs to add a couple things since she got idea from touring someone's house. So she needs 12 extra slots over 200 regular items because of this new idea and 2 teleporter pads. She has extra 24 building block count extra for others to use. I have not transferred her work to Niboota's house yet. The beach was assigned to Guinvere as well but haven't heard from her so I can put something together if that area isn't finished in time. Xeeta will finish up work for eye room. Xeeta's told Zorrina about this event and so Zorrina has signed up the middle level room and middle level patio. This leaves just the lower level patio not decorated but it is okay since Kianne got permission to use the cave area outside the lower level round room instead of the round room and must teleport into her space. These areas can stay empty so that there is extra item count for others to use. The guild hall door was not used by Kianne so that needs to go somewhere either at door or by Xeeta or Zorrina.

    So as far as extra item count there is 188 regular and 224 building blocks available.

    Thanks everyone! Very excited to see both houses completed. Happy dances! Let me know if you have questions or need help.

    I really hope everyone comes through on their part. I know the project will get finished, but it is such a disappointment when people don't follow through on something they committed themselves to, without letting someone know in advance that they aren't going to be able to do so after all.

    Maybe in the future, for events like this, you have check-in periods throughout the event, where people need to let you know how things are coming along and whether they think they will be able to finish on time or not. That way, if they don't check in with you after say, two weeks (which is plenty of time to contact you), you can re-assign their section of the project to someone else. Then you wouldn't have to scramble around on the last day trying to put something together because they failed to do their part.

    As for the breakout area of the Kromzek, it is cool but being what it is, doesn't really have to be decorated. As long as the Kromzek itself is fully decorated, it should be fine. :)

    Yep, sorry for being scarce. As I'm transitioning from Title 1 math specialist to classroom teacher this year, my schedule wound up extremely busy the last couple of months. I'd kind of forgotten how much crud I've collected over the years until I had to clean out my lab. *blush*

    The good news is that I was actually in the Kromzek Keep back in March taking measurements with basic tiles and planning out what I was going to do (for a change), so it should only take me a couple of days to move everything in and load it up for you.

    I realize people have RL stuff unexpectedly pop up but thought there was plenty of time for this event for people to work around their todo lists. It would be nice if people updated me but maybe they have a really bad memory like me. I probably won't be able to run this sort of event again any time soon. My todo list is too long and will be taking a break after I finish the Niboota House Challenge and two projects for friends. As far as the breakout. I didn't include that as option but someone really wanted to decorate that space instead of room so had said they needed to include 2 teleporters in their item count and could block off room somehow and just have teleport there. I won't be decorating that space if they don't finish in time. I will probably just block one room and have it just a house portal to her dhalgar house. If both rooms are not finished I do have a little bit of a plan for the space.

    So today, Friday and Saturday are last days to decorate your room for Niboota.

    If people would like to leave a birthday message for Niboota, please send me message with what you want me to add to books. I plan on putting a book at each room entrance so Niboota knows who did what room and can include your messages in these. If you have already left Niboota a book in your area, thank you so much. Please get the birthday messages to me by noon July 6th pst. If you need help finishing up please let me know.

    Big Reveal:
    Niboota has Friday, July 7th off from work and wants to do the reveals of all 3 houses that day. She hasn't sent any times for when on Friday but will keep you updated. You are all welcome to be there for the reveal. If you cannot make it, don't worry cuz both Niboota and I will record the event.

    Update on Niboota's Kromzek House:
    Area 1/Entry by Febrith is loaded
    Room 1 by Valzen is loaded (problem items are correct)
    Room 3 by Ennia is loaded (have to fix small issue with roof that overlaps with Room 5)
    Room 4 by Yamantanka is being worked on and waiting to get okay to load into Niboota's house.
    Room 5 by Alynaryne (Katz) and Vdova (Uwk) is loaded
    Room 6 by DVC Team is loaded
    Room 8 by Boglily is loaded.

    Room 2 was decorated by Katz just in case I didn't hear back from Arynel & Melyshia, which I have not. Will be loading Katz' room 2 hopefully sometime today.

    I haven't heard from Guinvere about Room 7 / Breakout area. I will be just making Room 7 into a teleport room to Dhalgar house. Shouldn't take me long.

    Update on Niboota's Dhalgar House:
    Will be loading Kianne's room into house today.
    Zorrina sent message that middle room and middle patio are 95% done.
    Haven't had chance to log onto Halls of Fate yet to see if Xeeta sent me message if Eye's room was completed yet.
    As soon as I load Kianne's room I can start working on the beach since I haven't heard back from Guinvere. Shouldn't take too long so should finish in time for reveal.


    Thanks so much everyone!
