Just a suggestion - perhaps include a quick recap of available games/contests in the advent calendar? Just some links at the bottom to highlight what else is going on that day/week.

I do just want to pop in and say I prefer the gift exchange not be called "secret santa" to be inclusive to all winter holidays. Maybe just Winter Gift Exchange? Unless someone else can come up with something cool, lol

I'd be happy to do another history-type thread about winter celebrations around the world! It might be cool to have members submit a paragraph or two about their holidays/traditions and then I could go more in-depth with the history aspect.

Thank you for volunteering~

ALSO BEST UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER CONTEST

Hmm, festive ugly sweaters could be entertaining!

Does it sound like a good idea if I do a game every week?

I think one game per week would be a nice way to keep it moving!

I really like this idea: a "guide to Festibration"! I'm sure I can make something like that happen.

I'd like to rename all of the things to avoid direct relations to a holiday/etc. The idea list is still a rough work in progress. (:

*sneaks in* Can I do a tarot card thing that I had proposed in the staff chat?

I might be going on LOA soon because grad school apps, but I could probably host a game of some sort since I can easily check into it and update things at work during breaks. XD

Did anybody suggest holiday-themed madlibs yet?

I'd like to differentiate between "ideas that someone (general) should do" and "ideas that I, the user posting, am willing to host and take care of". I've started a list in the first post.

i will be the host of Christmas tree decorating contest.

i can host the sweater one if its approved (Or something else if not)

I could host the Madlibs (and maybe the Snowflake contest unless the original suggester wants to)?

Just confirming that I will put together the history-type thread

I would also like to run the chain story game, if no one else has claimed it!

Let's call it the "Tree Trimming Contest", to avoid specifically mentioning "Christmas". (:

I think an ugly sweater contest sounds fun—but is there a game where people can decorate an ugly sweater, or are we encouraging people to share pictures of sweaters they actually own? This is something that needs to be decided on.

I'll put you in for both of these, unless the original snowflake contest suggestion-maker speaks up.

Thanks! I'll mark you for these.

I'll take care of the gift exchange set up Which I better get moving on XD

I see that the snowball fight is on the list! I really enjoyed that last year and it was a fun kind of passive activity where the staff didn't have to do anything. I will say I think the snowballs should be WAY bigger. They were hard to see/find and I think it took away from a lot of the fun/hype because people didn't notice them.

I found another two flash games! Snowball Pinball and First Snow!

And I plan on hosting all the flash game events I suggested, one per week. Let me know if any game wasn't fun enough, and I'll find another one to replace it!

I gave the dress-up games a try, and they're not bad, but they seem somewhat limited in options. (And one of them took a long time to load the "story" behind everything before even letting you start decorating a sweater.) Maybe we could ask members to find ugly sweaters online (PG-13 designs only) and PM pictures of the sweater to the host—and then we could have voting on them?

It would be a good idea to keep looking for games or generators, to see if something new pops up.

ill keep looking but i like your idea about finding them online

Aurae, when did you want us to have our threads completed by?

I don't want to guarantee that I'll be able to host a time-consuming game, so may I host an Otaku senshi contest if no one else has offered/confirmed?

Hey Cosmos-Hime...I can help you with the flash games hosting if you want?

Andalusite wrote:

Before the end of the month. The sooner, the better! I've just made this thread with approval information.

Is the Christmas Cake Decorating game (contest) taken? If not is it still possible for me to sign in to host it?

You have already signed in, and yes, you are welcome to take the cake decorating contest. (: If it doesn't have someone's name next to it in my first post within that first list, it could be claimed.

I don't have a "hard date" for claims—although obviously, any claims to host an event placed after November 29th, the last day for thread approval, will not be able to be fulfilled.

I know you originally suggested the snowflake contest—although Andi claimed it in a previous post, she mentioned that if the original suggester wanted that contest she'd be fine with it. Just so you know~

I see XD But I'm not gonna change that. I'm fine with Andi holding the Snowflake design contest if she wants to  Thank you <3

Great! (: You'll probably want to start collecting as soon as you can.

was the3 ugly sweater thing ok'ed i wasn't sure?

Is it still okay if I do the prompt challenge?

Dark Sportsnutd wrote:

Having a "find the best ugly sweater" contest, where people look for pictures online, send them to the host, and then the submitted ugly sweaters are voted on should be fine. (: I think it might add more variety than using a dress up game, since we're going to have other dress up games ongoing!

Yes, I'll add you to the list! Please try to make it holiday-neutral. (: "Twelve Days of Festibration"/etc.?
