I know of one civilization, that creates their unique unit here.
(And where's my change?!)

But let's return to the topic at hand, shall we? Anyone bringing anything along in the ways of foodstuffs or drinks of his homecountry?

Well, that's quite a ...
(Change comes slowly - if at all.)

But yeah, indeed. I'm still thinking this through, but it can already safely assumed, that Shikonjimanese Seishu/"Sake" will be around (no responsibility will be taken for the effects of it, though), as well as Shikonjimanese candies. The one lassies who happens to have to represent the Sharulsi Khanate on her own is likely to contribute nibbles such as Buuz/Khuushuur (basically variants of dumplings filled with beef, mutton, or camel meat and spiced with garlic or onions) and beverages such as Airag (an alcoholic beverage consisting of fermented mare's milk) and Sharulsi vodka. These are the things I currently can think of.

I look forward to it - and the whiskey. Might be an interesting battle: Who can win more followers, the Selkie-Whiskey or the Chuckian Whiskey? ; )

Better then milling about.
(I mean what we usually refer to as Wechselgeld...)

Indeed, the CEO of BI tasked Christopher to get a cart-load of Lillo-Beer with him, he'll pay the bill - so we are covered on that front.
Sake sounds good as well, candies is always ensuring, that the kids love the candy-bringer (and by the looks of it, there'll be quite a few kiddos around! ; )), vodka and airag sound fun, too - the buuz... I have but a logistical concern. Will she bring them deep-frozen or can they survive for a time in a semi-tropical climate?

Just so everyone knows, no one will charge any insurance fees to anyone due to alcohol-induced damages or injuries. Or deaths.

Wonderful!
Of course, she will bring them deep-frozen, for they, indeed, have less of a chance remaining edible on a long-term in a semi-tropical climate than in a cold steppe climate (not to mention the time of travel from the latter place to the former). Of course, once unfrozen, it wouldn't be a good idea to leave them open forever - but I think, since these are snacks quite popular amongst people who need a solid base for their booze intake, or get hungry in later hours, I wouldn't exactly worry about too many of them being left over.

Good to know! I guess, in the moment of submitting one's visa application, one automatically signs this disclaimer, too?

It's funny because this party is mostly booze and my religion prohibits alcohol.

Can I submit multiple characters?

I wouldn't say mostly (even though it does play quite a bit of a role) - we were more like thinking of delicacies from our nations to bring there, some stuff that is a particular part of our nations' cuisines, and it's a bit hard to think of non-alcoholic beverages one cannot get anywhere else in the world but in one particular country of ours ... but no worries, I'm sure, there will be enough non-alcoholic beverages around as well so no one will die of thirst. ^^

Some of us did, so why shouldn't you? ^^

Expect either Prussia-Poland, Alenberg/Bayerland/Spanish Alenberg, or the Chess Empire.

I might make an app tomorrow if I have the time. This looks to be like a good RP.

by **The Selkie** » Tue Dec 10, 2019 2:40 am

Very nice - accepted!
A bottle of chilled peach rum might not be enough, though...

No need to be sorry about the image sizes, they are spoilered, after all!
Also, accepted and gladly so! There'll be enough foods and drinks present, which fall into that category, so don't worry on that front.

Shiko's right, there'll be enough non-alcoholic beverages around to circumvent that quite effectively - Selkie-Lemonade, for example. ; )
Though, just so that we are all along the same lines, the alcohol will be brought out after the kids went to bed... or departed for their own, little adventure, depending on what happens in the end. ; )

It's going to be an awful lot of fun!

Alright, looking forward to it!

by **Lillorainen** » Tue Dec 10, 2019 7:15 am

On the matter of drinks from our home countries, I almost forgot to mention, that my Lillorainian characters have one foreigner and one semi-foreigner aboard as well, so next to the beer, as I mentioned with my feudal-Japan-based Alter Ego, there will also be Shamsiyyan Raki (brought by Kira) and Wiedheimer Cider (brought by Leo) in the round - the latter, Äbbelwoi ('applewine') in Wiedheimer native dialect (Lillos call their version of it Viez), is available both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, so children and abstinent people may get the taste of it as well.
Just for the records. ^^

Yeah, what's keeping you from doing it?

Since I've mentioned the records, I'll just list everything we've mentioned so far for convenience, sorted by country of origin (not by player). Should anyone else mention further foodstuffs and drinks, the list can be extended/edited. (You guys have heard it? Go on! ^^)

Äbbelwoi

That is actually not a bad idea...

Äbbelwoi

I'll have to work that one out...

by **New Visayan Islands** » Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:25 am

Considering the time between now and the scheduled date of the event, I'm tempted to send something like a few kilos of liberica coffee (think "Visayan version of Kapeng Barako," known in-universe as Mindoro Liberica), among other things I have yet to think of.

Huh... if I survive my exams, I might need to "Irish" that coffee... :lol:

by **Ard al Islam** » Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:29 am

It might be worth mentioning that the male guest I have applied for is actually the eldest son of the President of my country, Abdul' Hakim Hashim. I guess you could call my guests royals.

Luckily for us, there'll be both industrial royalty and actual royalty present, so he should have conversation partners, befitting his social rank. ; )

Bicíní Industries[/align]

cordially invite all interested to the Pléaráca Beach on Sunday, the 22nd of December 2019 for a beach party, celebrating the successful conclusion of Bicíní Industries' 2019 Archipelago Photoshoot, the holiday of Cailleach's Feast as well as life and being on a holiday in a tropical paradise.

Beach Wardrobe is requested.[/box]

Hello and welcome to A Beach Feast!
This RP is my try at a beach party RP, where people from your nation meet people of my nation(s) in a relaxed atmosphere, have fun, share a few drinks, eat, dance, listen to music, such stuff. Aside from the fact, that the majority of people from my nation(s) are models of Bicíní Industries, a major clothes producer of my nation, and people of your nation are people with enough money to make a vacation on a tropical island resort.
However, while it could all be all fun and games, you could also opt to advance your own nation's, or its industry's, goals as Bicíní has a large pool of models, for example a Kyrenaian Khana, two Kyrenaian Princesses and one Prince, several company heirs (all of which are singles, by the way), the girlfriend of the Fürst of Teressien and several others. Truly, your options know no bounds!
By the way, the Tearmann Island Resort, andi the Oileánra-Archipelago in general, are a bit of a secret tip among tourists.
