Looking for Opinions

Post by Josiah »

I was thinking that there's a huge gap between the Forum Awards and the next big event, RP Week. We've currently got three big yearly events on the forums. The Forum Awards, RP Week, and the King of the Forums Contest. But there's a huge chunk of the year where we've got nothing and I don't like that.

I don't want to add a new event right now so that leaves moving the olds ones a little. The Forum Awards are an anniversary thing so they have to be at the same time every year (beginning of July). So, I was thinking of moving RP Week to somewhere around early November and then starting the KOTFC either at the very beginning of March or maybe in late February.

That ok with everyone? Any comments, suggestions, etc?

How about a contributions week, were we get forum members to help out, like making banners, link PV on other sites, typo checking and making guest comics ETC. The person/ people that contribute the most win...stuff.

Honestly I wouldn't be against a "Bow to Shauni and her Shauniness" day.
Or "Talk like a Silver" day.
Or "St-Swellow Baptiste" where we make a bonfire out of Swellows.

Oh! That would be fun! My Silver impression is really good!

Heh heh... it would be great if we had a whole week of different days, like one day where you HAVE to talk in 1337... Because then new members looking thought the archives would be completely freaked out! XD

...But seriously, I'm fine with the relocation of existing events to more convenient time-slots.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Hmm... A contributions week would be cool although a bit hard to track and judge. A week of random 'do special stuff days' would be pretty cool, I'll have to give that one some thought...

Relocation is fine.
A week of stuff like that? Sounds like spirit week... No one ever participates in that.

It was lonely... you promised you'd write to me, but you never did... the months passed by, and I still thought of you every day, but you never called. I never got any letters from you.

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

Shoot. It double posted... Might as well use the extra space. Would this just be random, like spirit week, or is it a competition to see who's the most spirited?

How about "Act Like Yourself More then Usual Day"?

We heavily exaggerate what we normally do. For example, every post I'm firing the lazer or praising Umbreon and/or Pepsi.

I think I could make it into a contest, and a pretty intersting one at that. I'll keep thinking about it and let you guys know when I've got things figured out. In the meantime, feel free to keep discussing it, could give me ideas.
