Felicity Day = Giftboxes!

[BriarFox]

Edit: Felicia, sorry.

Thanks to @feliciaday tweeting for GemStone IV last month, we've released +5 to Dexterity Vests via the GIFTBOX verb.

>giftbox confirm

Existence 34442662 created.
You glance down and notice a bird-shaped Nuadjha giftbox in your left hand.
>open my gift
You open a bird-shaped Nuadjha giftbox.
>l in my gift
>
In the Nuadjha giftbox:
clothing (1): gold-fluted blue velvet vest.
>get my ves
You need a free hand to pick that up.
>wear cloa
You drape an old gray hooded oilcloth wayfarer's cloak from your shoulders.
>ins my ves
You can't inspect that from its current position.
>get ves
You remove a gold-fluted blue velvet vest from in your Nuadjha giftbox.
>ins my ves
You carefully inspect your blue velvet vest.

You estimate that a gold-fluted blue velvet vest can store a very small amount with enough space for one item.

You determine that you could wear the vest anywhere on your body. The vest appears to serve some purpose.

It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of cloth.

Vest's show: A trio of crimson stripes down the front of the garment converge at the base of an inverted triangle, the fabric divided by lengths of shining golden samite. The dark red paneling is repeated on the vest's shoulders, bordering spans of dark blue velvet to either side of its chest.

From Auchand under official announcements:

The month of October saw a nice gain in public notice for GemStone IV thanks to a tweet from Felicia Day. For those of you unaware, Felicia Day is the star of The Guild, the actress behind Penny in Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, a patron saint of geekdom, and a gorgeous redheaded vixen.

In honor of the immense efforts made by players to get GemStone IV noticed by the world of twitter, we're releasing +5 to Dexterity Vests via the GIFTBOX verb. Please remember that if things move beyond someone touching your vest, you should head to a private, latched room.

And yes, we do want to date your avatars. Every single one of you. Thanks to everyone who donated to TwitChange on our behalf.

Except Shattered folk.

[RichardCranium]

Oh those dirty, dirty PCers.

[cookiemonster2]

Just imagine, if Levar Burton didn't hate haiti we might have perception visors too.

[Asha]

You are wearing a gold-fluted blue velvet vest

sigh.. That is on my emergency alter list.

Ditto. The show is terrible, too. WTF to that.

>giftbox
Giftboxes are no longer being distributed.

Shattered...no love.

I just posted to this end on the Officials under Promotions, if anyone wants to add to.

This is balls.

[Kitsun]

Haha


>l gift
Carved into the bottom corner of the box is a stylized whale wearing a big smile.

[Tgo01]

Is plat getting them? If not I'd say this is just an oversight and all realms will get them.

[Asha]

Yeah on Lnet someone said 'fail whale' which made me lol a bit

[Spooky]

plat didn't get them either..but apparently they posted on the plat boards the same thing. ...they didn't post on the shattered boards. Guess we aren't getting 'em.

[Drunken Durfin]

There is no "promotions" area on the Shattered boards.

Everyone invade the GSIV/Gemstone Promotions folder on the Officials NAOW!

[Fallen]

You're WELCOME ...bitches.

[Drevihyin]

If you move a character from one account to another can you claim a giftbox for that account?

[Swami71]

If you move a character from one acount to another can you claim a giftbox for that account (if one is still available).

Did this with the last giftbox. They eventually caught on and took away all but one of the giftbox enhancives leaving the accounts the character was transferred from giftboxless.

[awol0509]

Mine actually was sorta pretty :)


You put on a ruby-adorned red velvet vest.
>look vest
Glittering golden samite piping adorns the edges of the low-cut vest and separates the ribbed white cloth of its upper half from the incarnadine fabric below. Sparkling clusters of rubies adorn the front center of the garment, gleaming opposite red leather ties securing it in the back.

[Deathravin]

shattered has giftboxes now.

[AMUSED1]

I was hoping for Felicia Day's special gift box instead...

[Fallen]

One script I can see

touch
You run your fingers slowly over the surface of your blue velvet vest, but in a fit of self-consciousness, disguise the maneuver as a quick tug to straighten the garment over your chest.

Your character needs xanax.

[Tsk Tsk]

And it makes the ladies get all sorts of flirty.


s>touch vest
You run your nimble fingers over the surface of your red velvet vest, a flirtatious smile flitting over your lips.

[Stanley Burrell]

I want to say raunchy things about her, but I can't, because, my words are beneath her. I cannot even speak her name. But I will find out some way to techno-stalk her.

You're adorable in a really creepy way.

[Jace Solo]

How long do you think before they take them away? I'm not near my regular comp right now and still haven't decided which character I wantto claim it. Any ideas?

[Kitsun]

Probably a week or two. Maybe even through the Holidays.
