Can you make it a long table with a party theme?

I am limited to graphics in the game currently.
Plus, the "easy mode" of adding tiles only has so many.... just a fraction of what is in the game.
For many graphics, I have to enter it by using the codes of the files/tiles etc.

Theoretically, I can add any "static" graphic; animated ones won't work.
Npcs fall into another category, so they don't work either.
There's just a few that are actually "graphic only".

You get into the realm of graphics vs. entities....
I can do entities, but they are heavily limited.
So far, all I really can do are teleporters and signs; I do know a one-time chest is possible (but I don't use it).

I made a little public guide to describe it... nothing secret in there (you could learn most of that simply by watching).

Alright!!! THAT'S IT!!! I am calling my internet company and uploading a virus to their servers I swear to it. The internet gods have smitten me down for the last time!

For the last 3.5 hours I have been arguing with the internet company about my service being finicky and unable to use internet or my home phone, but they say they do not see a problem on their end. I ask them if it could have anything to do with the work they did after the storms last night, and they said my area was unaffected by the storms. Get a call back 45 minutes ago after I dang near pulled apart every modem and router piece in my setup, disconnected and reconnected the majority of cables in my house, and had a spider web of inter woven replacement cables I was sorting through to replace the faulty one if I could find it. The internet company calls me and tells me, "We are sorry, the satellite tower in your area was damaged and a few of the satellite dishes were knocked from the tower during the storm yesterday. Service should be restored within the next 8 hours." ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!! An entire tower is damaged and you did not get a little red blip in your system notifying you of a problem?!

Well, spotty internet for the next 8 hours I suppose :(

And all this just when the party table got set up, I was about to start serving up the finest murkwood ale that I had in the reserves by the pint!! Oh well, there is always a next time.

OH MY! And I thought MY ISP was bad.

Party area still there, even has "port-a-potties", well, more the old fashioned wooden ones. You know the type you use to push over as a kid. That is, if you're old enough and lived in a semi-rural or rural area that is.

A whole tower... yuk...

The setup should last until the next map/server restart.
Barring any unforseen restarts, that won't be for another 14.5 hours.
(server restarts daily at 10:13 FT time).

You've got time, if all works out.
