Fleet Action Report Ep 55 Summer of Love TFOs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eof3N4t7IAE

Fleet Action Report is back this week covering one of the special summer events for the Alea Iacta Est gaming community. Nikodas and Grebog talk about the summer of love and as part of it bring some of the community with us as we head into some TFOs, Task Force Operations, in Star Trek Online.

Summer of Love

This year’s Summer of Love event week began with a guild Town Hall on Sunday, July 25th, continued with a week of events across all our games, and ends with our most important and solemn event, Remembrance Day, Monday, August 2nd 2021. Each game division will have its own ceremony/gathering place and it will also be broadcast on the https://www.twitch.tv/aieguild channel. Voice will be in AIE Discord – https://aie-guild.info/discord

For those not familiar, this marks over 10 years of special summer events we’ve held with the guild centered around Remembrance Day, a day when we take a moment to gather in voice and in game to remember those we have lost. Spread across the rest of the week are a series of special fun game events in almost every game division. These include player run events, special edition Mandatory Fun nights, and maybe even some contests and prizes.

Here’s the rundown of how each game celebrated the week.

NOMADS

The Nomads a special board game night Thursday night. They played two games of Downforce, which is a popular racing game, and a game of Love Letter.

WoW

Saturday’s Battle Pet Safari in WoW was lots of fun but with a small turnout, which is not too surprising given the current state of things. There were 5 players on Horde and 3 on Alliance and traveled Shadowlands collecting 11 different battle pets and 2 toys, including one that turns you into a red slime that runs around absorbing your friends. Best ever! There are rumors about doing more of these events, but in the meantime Gusty will keep giving pets away in Guild chat.

One of the stops for today’s Running of the Allied Races will be saying “Hi” to a certain new NPC in Stormwind. (Field Marshal Stonebridge)

They had a great time during Running of the Allied Races! Thank you Gusty for being our fearless and prepared guide and Fez for being coordinator extraordinaire!

Gusty posted some pictures from Running of the Beef that finished a little while ago. She conducted a tour of Stormwind, then led us out into the wilds to meet a Cat Lady. Then we went to Darnassus, rode through Darkshore and Ashenvale, and ended in The Barrens at the Shrine of the Fallen Warrior.

SWTOR

For SoL in swtor this week, the SWTOR crew had a special edition of MFN led and created by Corley called the Amazing Race. Guildies traveled the galaxy following clues and finding officers hidden at various spots. They ended up on Hoth where everyone jumped off an ice bridge, thus answering the age-old question. Lastly, prizes were had by all.

On Wednesday night Albus and Maellung led a special Operations night for SUP (Sith with unlimited Power) in honor of Jana, who started that team and kept it going through thick and thin. We miss you, Jana. Just so you know, there might have been a snowball or two just for you.

ESO

For ESO’s MFN, they grouped up and killed dragons as part of the event, did a quick stop at Sky’s in game house to check out the decor he did last year for SoL and discussed meeting up for Remembrance Day. They will be using Kini’s primary residence in game as a gathering spot while the processions are going on in other games.

FFXIV

They had a fantastic Map Night last night, with folks who couldn’t physically run maps yet, watching on Discord, and of course Remembrance Day coming up.

STO

The STO fleet did group FTOs (with instructions) last Monday during the Podcast. Tomorrow, Grebog is leading a flight from the fleet starbase to the Wolf 359 Memorial. Then, if there’s time, he will fly by the Romulus/Remus memorial, the Spock memorial, and the memorial plaque on ESD and Qo’nos.

GW2

For summer of love, the team ran Fractals with the guild during MFN.

LOTRO

Small group last night jumped in and played in-game music for a couple hours outside the Prancing Pony
