Dueling for dances!

March 24, 2015 12:23 pm

Oh heavens - have you seen Boudewijn around? He's in a dreadful mood, and cutting in on everyone's dances! I've heard that if people refuse to let him cut in then he challenges them to a duel! What a sourpuss.

At least he's giving away bags of trinkets if he loses. Paying his shame away! You can't really expect to have a good time at the Masquerade Ball if you're nothing but rude and pushy, I say!

It certainly would put a smile on my face to see people beating him. It's certainly achievement worthy! To be quite honest, people deserve one for even trying. So watch out for Boudewijn!

Oh No! [NPC] Gossip Boudewijn hasn't asked you to dance!

March 25, 2015, 10:53 am by

I'm not quite sure how this works, is it like a random event?

March 25, 2015, 9:34 am by

This is still happening right? Been going to the ballroom on each invite and acceptance since yesterday, and still nothing...

March 25, 2015, 8:37 am by

I've only seen Boudewijn's avatar in the ballroom a couple of times xD C'mon...

March 25, 2015, 7:46 am by

You know I saw him BEFORE this news a few times... but he has been avoiding me AFTER this gossip...

gorsh darn damng nabit multi tabs strikes again :(

Oh No! [NPC] Gossip Boudewijn hasn't asked you to dance!

March 25, 2015, 6:22 am by

I still need him :(

March 25, 2015, 5:25 am by

"Because you always do the last dance." You're just great! ❤

March 25, 2015, 3:26 am by

I have yet to get him and I had a lot of dance requests and went to the dance floor.Nothing. :(

March 25, 2015, 1:54 am by

Danced all night, went to the ballroom, wore the enamored expression, NO Boudewijn! Is he prejudiced against small weasel-girls? Or is he just a coward, afraid I might bite him where it really hurts.

March 25, 2015, 1:03 am by

ARRGGGG!!!

Hello FexHex, my name is [NPC] Gossip Boudewijn. You ruined my dance prospects. Pick a weapon and prepare to duel!

Only there are no weapons showing. The only thing under this text is: Libertine Lounge | Steamworks Menagerie

I've tried to read thru all these comments, but don't see anyone posting about this problem. This is the first time I've gotten this event, after dancing literally all day. Suggestions anyone?

March 25, 2015, 12:54 am by

Yay! "Od's fish, m'dear, go ahead and take my trinkets and be off with you! I'll find somebody else to steal a dance from! Unlocked Dirty Dancer!" Finally. Good luck to everyone.

March 25, 2015, 12:36 am by

Finally got him a 2nd time and lost again right away. Grrr.

March 25, 2015, 12:30 am by

Sorry meant it for

March 25, 2015, 12:28 am by

Can relate! Hours spent dancing (and going to the ballroom) and zero RE! :(

March 25, 2015, 12:26 am by

Didn't mean to sound like I was calling you stupid, sorry! The news post isn't really clear and a lot of people have been confused by what they're supposed to do. :D (I was all excited for a battle challenger, but nope. Rock, paper, scissors with swords.) Hopefully the odds of getting the RE are reasonable, and the bugs are worked out soon!

March 25, 2015, 12:21 am by

I don't mean to sound rude, but I'm not totally daft. In fact after coming online to over 70 dance events this evening it took me forever to get through them because of the extra move to the dance floor lol. Either way, whether it's been an event for "Your dance request has been accepted" or one to accept a dance, I've been going to the dance floor afterwards. I even turned off my Ad Blocker just in case that was affecting it, and yes, I'm also wearing the Enamored expression :/

March 25, 2015, 12:16 am by

Are you going to the ballroom for every dance? The RE only appears on the ballroom page. (It only took me maybe 40 dances to get it, and I won first try. No idea what the chances to get the RE, and to win actually are, though.)

March 25, 2015, 12:13 am by

Literally 100 dances till I see him, and I win AGAIN. Can you guys maybe up the chances of seeing him? I need the losing title, but this asshole is too idiotic to win. -______________________________-

March 25, 2015, 12:09 am by

It would be really nice to actually SEE him crop up. I came online tonight to over 70 dance events and didn't get him once. I've since also done maybe another 50 or so dances over the past 3 hours or so and still haven't seen him and yet other people are getting multiple events from him. Not happy Jan! :(

March 24, 2015, 11:10 pm by

Managed to get him once-- and I lost. He needs to show up again so I can have my revenge and beat him. I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STEAL MY DANCE.

March 24, 2015, 11:03 pm by

I've already lost (not even sure how) but now I need to win and he won't show up again. Jerk. Hey B get your butt over here so I can kick it.

March 24, 2015, 10:57 pm by

Hopefully our luck will change for the better... or for the worse as it is in my case!

March 24, 2015, 10:55 pm by

haha....congrats!! :D I'm good at losing. 4 times now. haha

March 24, 2015, 10:54 pm by

Yup! I've actually won twice :P and I really want to lose so I can get that title. Never thought I'd say that.

March 24, 2015, 10:53 pm by

finally got him! Twice in a row too. But I lost both times...now I just have to manage to get him back and kick his butt lol

March 24, 2015, 10:50 pm by

Thanks! And congrats for beating him. :D

March 24, 2015, 10:49 pm by

I have and I know there are others around on the forums that have too.

March 24, 2015, 10:48 pm by

Has anyone actually beated Boudewijn in a duel? I've fought him a few times now and lose every time.

March 24, 2015, 10:47 pm by

Subeta keeps crashing on me so I can't duel. D: Stop timing out my connection!

March 24, 2015, 10:41 pm by

Unfortunately, it's bad luck.

I believe it's just random.

March 24, 2015, 10:31 pm by

I keep seeing him lurking around in the background whenever I go to the ballroom-- C'MON U WANNA START SOMETHIN. U WANNA GO.

March 24, 2015, 10:20 pm by

Unlocked Dance Mat!

Lose to Boudewijn in a duel. Then remember there is not a lot of money in revenge.

is it any particular weapon to use first or is it random

March 24, 2015, 10:04 pm by

Can someone help me out? Am I doing something wrong? I've been dancing continuously since this post was published (that's 9.5 hours of dancing now) and I haven't seen him once. I dance, accept, go to the ballroom, and nothing happens. Is this just bad luck? :(

March 24, 2015, 10:04 pm by

AHA! That's what you get for cutting into my dance. Now, to lose so I can get that forum title. (Never thought I'd say that.)

March 24, 2015, 10:00 pm by

Finally bumped into Boudewijn and beat him with a rapier. Gave him a good throttling before sending him scurrying off.

March 24, 2015, 9:44 pm by

I am glad to see people getting it more then once. I had it but I wasn't paying attention and left the floor without saying yes or no. SHAME on me!! sits and hopes for him to reappear

March 24, 2015, 9:33 pm by

Ah so it's like rock paper scissors. I was afraid of that. Hope I get him again. Hate random stuff because theoretically you could dance all week and not get him once. Hope they increase the chances. Thanks.

March 24, 2015, 9:29 pm by

Oh gawd, online since this news post popped up and only got him once. I'm wishung really bad to fight him again, so I can dance normally, with F5 to accept dances, without needing to visit everytime the dancefloor lol

March 24, 2015, 9:26 pm by

; Ties go to Boudewijn, Rapier < Flatsword, Flatsword < Dagger, Dagger < Rapier

March 24, 2015, 9:18 pm by

Haven't seen this yet.. random events suck make him a battle dome challenger :) battlers need fun things too

March 24, 2015, 9:18 pm by

Finally got the event but lost. I don't really understand, how do you win just picking which blade you want to use? Strange. Yes I agree should have been a battle challenger. That would be more interesting.

March 24, 2015, 9:07 pm by

Hopefully I'll run into this scoundrel before the event is over :)

March 24, 2015, 8:26 pm by

FIGHT MORE, YOU VAIN COWARD

FIGHT MORE

I'VE BEEN DRINKING IN THE LOUNGE ALL NIGHT AND I CAN TAKE YOU ANY TIME, ANY WHERE

March 24, 2015, 8:25 pm by

Dancing for hours and haven't seen him yet. :(

March 24, 2015, 8:20 pm by

Been dancing for a few hours and he hasn't challenged me. :(

After hours of dancing, I finally got the event and "Oh No! [NPC] Gossip Boudewijn hasn&;t asked you to dance!"

Yeeep I opened two tabs and had the misfortune of getting the RE on the first one, meaning the second tab caused it to expire. My interest in this achievement just waltzed its way into the negatives.
