The Grand Remilia Ball is a formal ball held in Miladycraft, the Minecraft server of the Milady Maker community. Guests attend in virtual formalwear in a custom-built ballroom, and each must bring a date to be let in. The first ball took place on July 6, 2023, and the second on July 3, 2024.
Format
The ball imitates the atmosphere of an in-person formal party. Every attendee must arrive with a date, and the organizers recommend that the date be a woman, although the ratio is not strictly enforced; owning a Milady NFT is not required. According to the organizers, the rule makes it less likely that the party ends up with no women and keeps trolls away. The Miladycraft co-founder Scorched Earth Policy said, "The purpose is, ultimately, because it's fun and funny," and that the structure was needed because of "online events having a natural entropy towards chaos." Onno said that pranksters "would either be unable to find a date" or would not want to embarrass the person they brought.[1]
Because Charlotte Fang has banned "edating" in the Milady community, guests are encouraged to find dates in real life rather than online.[1]
2023
The first Grand Remilia Ball was held on July 6, 2023. It drew more than 140 attendees, enough to crash the server several times during the evening. A doorman at the entrance checked that guests had dates, and the ball was livestreamed by Letty, a participant in the first season of Fish Tank.
2024
The Second Annual Grand Remilia Ball was held on July 3, 2024, and drew more than 180 guests from the Milady community and the wider crypto Twitter audience. A Twitter account was set up to match guests with dates, but it did not make a single match. One attendee, Jeffortless, sent their date flowers and a Kuromi plushie before the event, although the two had never met in person.[1]
The night ended with a staged finale in which a blimp flew over the ballroom mansion and bombed the guests.
