You know anyone with Vice status can do that right?

Which would be helpful if we had a vice.

I do agree that our frontpage is in need of an update, but that'll probably be handled once lurichan decides what to do with guild ownership, since I doubt she has time herself.

Christmas is coming up. Anyone who wants to suggest event ideas should get on that. *hints*

Ahhh didn't know the place lacked a vice, my bad.


Event ideas, well how about a few literary comps (t'was the night before christmas and all through the house, nothing was stirring not even the voltaire loving mouse.)
Maybe an art competition (The blood spattering effect really does look festive) and a few silly comps, like most festive goth look, best cross dresser et'al.

I would prefer the writing contest because their you can use your gothic attitude and creativity

I'd make a contest, I just need someone with a massive gold hoard to handle the prizes.  

[IY_and_MCR]

I was thinking about making a new year's contest (that may or may not actually have anything to do with new year's), so, er, more on that later?  

[Henneth Annun]

Let's make a couple contests, maybe a writing contest and an art or photo contest?  

[IY_and_MCR]

Sounds good, having a few things run through January.
Start the year off with a bang, or at least an easily audiable crackling noise.  

[Henneth Annun]

We really need a crew discussion subforum. Or at least a topic where we can discuss things without outside interuption.

Alright, a possible art contest theme could be "Awakening" or "New Begining" or something around that area, because it's going to be a new year, and that just epitomizes the word "new" doesn't it...

The writing contest could be a short story one. Each entry will be submitted and then posted (by us) in the contest thread. Maybe we'll do a prompt, like write a tiny paragraph setting up something, and then saying at the end something like "and then it was never the same again." Then they'll have to write a short story based on what happens to some charachter after that senario. Best voted story wins.  

[IY_and_MCR]

I was thinking the same thing.
Being all out in the open definitely isn't the best option, and two or three mods contacting in PM which leaves the rest out.
And who wants to be left out?

Holycrapit'salreadythe29th.
I like the prompt idea for a written story as opposed to just a general theme. We'd just need to get one written up in time that's clear, but still loose enough for people to take it in different directions.

I'd also like/plan on making up some kind of spam forum contest/game at the last minuite.
This keeps our bases covered, giving people who don't want to art at us something to do too.

As for the arrangement of all this, have one thread in the main forum with links to contest threads. Keeping the actual contest threads in their respective subforums, yeah?  

[Henneth Annun]

....and I'm guessing Luri is the only one who can make this much needed subforum? Let's talk to her about it, we have enough gold, right?

I'll write one up tonight if I can, maybe a couple of them.

Spam forum contest? Hmm...something interesting involving the word "spam" maybe. Get people workin' on their Photoshop chops and art skillz huh?

Sound good.

So this sounds like 3 contests. Art, Story, and Spam.  

[IY_and_MCR]

I believe the guild has quite enough in its hidden depths to create a subform, if luri proves to not be dead, slumped somewhere in the depths of a retail chain.
If she does prove to be dead, I bet we could just start a thread in archives and no one would notice. Like, ever.

It'd be pretty awesome if you can manage to do that.
I can't make good prompts, they always turn into mini stories about young girls in a cephalopodwonderland.
Not helpful to the task at hand.

It's too bad Spam, the cured meat product+new years isn't an easier concept to combine. There will be brainstorming on this.

'kay.

Three sounds right. Enough to hypothetically involve most everyone, without being maddening.  

[Henneth Annun]

I like your thinking. Archives, no one will notice. Unless someone's been following our posts on this thread and starts habitually checking the archives section to see what we've been plotting.

I made two prompts. My computer decided it would be amusing and not connect to Gaia last night, so I couldn't send them to you.

Nothing wrong with cephalopodwonderland, but I prefer arachnidwonderland.

Three is the suposed magic number. But I prefer 7, 42, and 109.  

[IY_and_MCR]

And if that happens, we could pretend this was an elaborate trick to get someone into the archives.

At least it came to its senses today.

That sounds like more of a forrestofhorrors.
Unless they're scorpions instead of spiders and ticks. Scorpions are adorable.

Well, we're definitely not making 109 contests, and I like this a whole lot more than I should. So, three is pretty perfect for the situation.
