Sadly, with real life taking over for most of the [DRGN] members, Pink Day in LA 2009 passed us by with no event, but don't give up hope, because there's always next year.

[[Image:Guild_Draconus_Reincarnatus_Pink_Dye.png|20px]] Introduction
Well, guys and gals, it's about that time of year again. Saji here and I'm going to give you a little information about this year's, Pink Day in LA.


 * ''We're going with the theme that, "Gamers Care Too." Why? Well, with all the recent news stories about how people who play video games, especially violent ones, are bad people, and when a crime is committed, such as a shooting, you will no doubt hear about how the person was playing the newest Grand Theft Auto game, or some other violent game. But, obviously, not everyone who plays games is violent or bad. We're doing this event this year to show others that an online community with players from around the world can get together and support a worthy cause. We want to show the world that GAMERS CARE TOO!


 * ''Now, remember last year, where I gave a little speech on the subject of Breast Cancer? Well, it was awkward, trying to get people's attention with others constantly spamming. So, this year, there won't be any big speech on the subject, but instead, DRGN is making a site dedicated to informing gamers about Breast Cancer risks, treatments, and more. Check it out over at the Pink Day in LA Website


 * "But what about in-game?" ''- I hear you ask. Well, to show support, like last year, we want everyone to get their armor decked out in brilliant pink. We want to see everyone in the district wearing pink, but, you'll have to supply your own dye! Sadly enough, last year we had many people take the free handouts of dye for granted, along with the fact we had rude players who interfered with other aspects of the event (such as the end photo-ops).

Message from Master Saji
Master Saji and DRGN (Draconus Reincarnatus) would like to give a big THANK YOU to all those who made it to this year's Pink Day event. Although some would have liked to see more districts full, we are humble in the thought that the event lasted far longer than we could have expected. This was due to a great and beneficial partnership with Blade Radio, along with the KISS and LaZy Alliances. Their determination to make Pink Day bigger than it could ever be proved to be an invaluable part in the Pink Day planning, and DRGN looks forward to working with them again. Again, a big THANK YOU to those who showed up to party and show their support in pink armor. We'll have some screenshots of the event up soon!

Last year, on June 16th, 2007, a great event took place in the Lions Arch International Districts, under the watchful eye of DRGN. Pink Day in LA was a shot at showing others that gamers care about real-life situations. To do this, we wanted to help bring awareness to gamers about the facts and truths of Breast Cancer. In the end, it was a huge success. DRGN handed out dyes to help those without pink armor get in the mood and we would like to thank all the players who donated dyes to help out with this event.

During the event, we attempted to get as many people possible to dye their armor pink, to show support and we were successful. we got a total of three districts full of pink-armor wearing support!

And our message even broke the language barrier as we had a Taiwan GM promote the event, as well as translate the speech into Taiwanese!

We thank everyone who showed up for the event and dyed their armor pink! Stay cool, and keep pink!
