[Planning] Thanksgiving festival (formerly Halloween festival)
#21

Sounds good.
#22

To update things a little on this side, I quote myself from the Lazarene forums...

Benevolent Thomas Wrote:Event: Halloween festival between Lazarus and The South Pacific
Themed name: ? (decide now)
Dates: ? October - 2 November
Events:
  • Sacrifices RP (before Halloween, and progressing to first zombie sightings just before Z-Day)
  • Zombie Apocalypse RP
  • Forum Spam Games (with awards ceremony)
  • Bite (Rock), Cure (Paper), Shoot (Scissors) Gameside Poll Activity
  • Interviews - I nominate myslef and New Rogernomics for interviews. Others can volunteer themselves too so TSP can pick (a) favorite(s)
  • Costume Contest
  • Zombie Mafia
This is what I've gathered from this conversation thus far. First, we need to come up with a name of the Festival and then make a region with the same name. We need to start embassy construction instantly (like today). We can do the Sacrifices RP and then the Zombie Apocalypse RP on the shared RMB. During the Z-Days, we can do the polls. We can split the Spam Games between our forums (if tat makes it too complicated, let's send the spam to TSP). The Costume Contest can have its own dedicated threads on both forums. It may be a good idea to do the Mafia Game on the TSP forum. Costume Contest Judges should be Feirmont, Rogernomics and Bon. I guess I can host the Mafia game on TSP's forum if nobody there volunteers for it.

Thanks, Benevolent Thomas, for organising the ideas  ^_^

To leave some ideas to your (plural) opinion:
  • Is it possible to mix Lake Flotillas' idea of having a hunger games with the Zombie Apocalypse RP?

  • How about a Witch Hunt during the days of the black plague as theme for a mafia game not to abuse of the zombie idea?

As you are already well aware, the Ghost Month got completely overshadowed by Z-Day. Hence the festival's revamp being suggested by Kris Kringle not long afterwards, and quickly agreed by most of us.

Furthermore, some doubts have reappeared:
  • The schedule (from what day to what day?)... considering Thursday, November 26th as Thanksgiving day 2015
  • The festival's name
  • Which activities will be held:
    • Which ones only for Lazarus forum?
    • Which ones only for TSP forum?
    • Which ones for both forums?
    • Which one(s) is(are) carried out in-game?

Regarding the Redirecting Subforums, I've been told not long ago that to make things simpler we should link them to each other's full subforum instead of just each games... I think they were right.

A plain example of how'd that be for both forums:

[Image: arrow-57-256.png?1755]TOWN OF SALEM


Furthermore, we do need a list of forum activities; at least a general one, so we can distribute a few between the regions and keep some others, like spam, in both.  :surprised:

<Bon-mobile> Hallo
* Bon-mobile 's Skype account is still bugged D:
<Bon-mobile> Any news?
<BenevolentThomas> I was just thinking about our Turkey Day festivities. Even if no one else is :p
<BenevolentThomas> I think we can still do a Witch themed Mafia game, but it'd be more like the Salem Witch trials rather than spooky.
<BenevolentThomas> I also think we could make polls about pardoning regional "turkeys". We name a few turkey's after our more silly members of our communities and we vote to pardon one of them.
<Bon-mobile> I just asked Feirmont, Scylla, Sam and Kringle to keep tell me if there's anything I need to prepare for the festival during this week
<Bon-mobile> *to tell me
<Bon-mobile> Oh... I don't know about the 'turkeys' idea... As far as they have the members' approval, it could go well...
<BenevolentThomas> yeah. it may be too silly
* Bon-mobile is just afraid some might mistake it for bullying :O
<BenevolentThomas> yeah. Maybe people could volunteer to be a turkey. Or else we can just do rock paper scissors.
<Bon-mobile> By the way, the Salem Witch trials doesn't seem like a bad idea
<BenevolentThomas> I'm trying to copy paste these posts into skype, but Hexchat wont let me :p
<Bon-mobile> BenevolentThomas: yeah. Maybe people could volunteer to be a turkey.<<< This would be ideal
<Bon-mobile> Why?
<BenevolentThomas> anytime i right click highlighted text its all about operator actions involving you Happywide
<Bon-mobile> If anything, you can tell the others to PM me if they'd like me to prepare something like the dispatch or inform the planners from TSP
<Bon-mobile> By the way, what if that "Pardon a Turkey" is done like this:
<Bon-mobile> 1) (Up to 5 or so) Nations from each region volunteer to be turkeys ordered to the other region.
<Bon-mobile> 2) The polls are done in-game, each region polling to pardon some of the volunteers from the other region
<Bon-mobile> 3) Those who are not "pardoned" have to change their flags to one chosen by that region for about a week
<Bon-mobile> What do you think of that?
<BenevolentThomas> sounds fun Tounge
<Bon-mobile> Good, if possible, copy what I said to the Skype chatroom Happywide
<Bon-mobile> Well, I have to get going... Gotta get ready for an exam tomorrow Tounge
<BenevolentThomas> good luck
<Bon-mobile> Thanks... And, please, PM me in the Lazarene forum anything you might need for me to do for the festival ^_^
<Bon-mobile> See you

This conversation happened over two weeks ago and I've yet to get more than a response, maybe two, about it.
