Halloween Masquerade Ball - Saturday 28-October-2000 10pm EDT


Part 1 - First five photos.


Here I am arriving at the gate. Notice I call myself by a different name, alphabetagamma. The idea is that each person comes in wearing a new or unfamiliar av, and with a new name. People will guess who others are. When you are guessed you change you name back to your normal one, and the game continues until everyone is guessed.


Here we are in the new Halloween room created by Iceman. It's very crowded. At this point I wasn't sure if Anita and Argo's Friend weren't playing, or were guessed early? I suspect Anita came in with her own name on. I also see Spear down there. A few people came in, realised what the rules were, and then left and came back with disguises on.


I had not attended this even last year, so I didn't know how it would work. What actually happaned was, everyone was calling out names right left and center. Someone would just look at an av and say, 'Are you Betsy?', and they would say 'no'. Notice that Argo's Friend was guessed almost immediately. Some people are unmistakable.


Good_Ash comes in with the name 'Doctor_Ash', and it still takes people some time to guess him. Haha.


I have a strategy. If I came in with one of my self-made avs, I'd be discovered immediately. So I went beforehand to the West Pole Palace (who also have a Halloween Masquerade Ball, except on the 31st), and took one of thier avatars.

I also decided if I said little, I would be hard to guess. This turned out to be true.

Notice however that Good_Ash is guessing Mysterious_Someone. Although the guess in this case is Alcatraz, a lot of people guessed that Mysterious_Someone was me (although Loranna pointed out that it was too well-made for one of my avs).
