Thanks Mi I think that we have a lot signature/ graphic makers on here so the contest could get quite many participants.

We could, we could. It could be The GC theme 2.0

*chuckles* That sounds great to me

I think tinychat could work well for the karaoke night. It would be good to be able to let members suggest songs and announce the next song by type chatting while we could use the same chat for the actual karaoke singing parts. I can try to lure some of our song group members to participate in the event since I am pretty sure that many of them would like the idea.

I will run the guess the song round and I am also ready to run the karaoke night (possibly associated with the GC song group) with Brit if that is okay with everyone.

Tinychat sounds like a great idea! I'm so silly for nothing thinking of that. I think we could have a moderator who controls whose turn it is (we could consider group songs too), but everyone supplies their own songs for the most part. Of course we have our SM music library, but it might be easier if the music is run from who ever turn it is cause there is a possibility of echos and stuff if two people are going at once.

As for the karaoke event, could two days/nights work? That way if someone cannot make it the first day they may be able to come the second day and vice versa. Two event nights would probably also be manageable to fit into the hosts' schedules as I am pretty much free every day but Brit, like many other members of our forum, has a busier schedule. (I am assuming that Brit wants to be a host of this event as she was the one who suggested it) When Brit is back from her LOA we shall probably get to know her answer.

Since the anniversary is two weeks this year we could do it one night each week? I do plan on doing livestreams so if we do it, we just gotta not conflict with that.

I am just throwing this idea here but I liked it when we had a Galaxy Cauldron themed artist contest last year. It was nice to have a signature and avatar creating contest so maybe we could run a contest similar to that in the anniversary week?

I don't remember having a themed artist contest? What did we do? lol

That sounds great to me . Group karaoke would probably be the best part for many participants since I feel like many of us would enjoy singing together with other members.

If that fits in your schedule, it will fit in mine, as well ^^.

Here Brit: http://www.thegalaxycauldronforums.com/t2907-september-monthly-art-contest-submissions-closed
It was the last September's artists contest with GC as the theme.

Oooh that last contest wasn't actually meant to be galaxy cauldron as in the forum, but the actual place in SM sorta. I don't remember my thought process. Thats like asking me to remember my anniversary with the bf...it just doesn't happen. xD I thought you were talking about an artist contest for the anniversary. My bad. ^^

Oh sorry for not specifying what I meant ^^''. But do you think that we could have a signature creating contest during the anniversary week?

Yeah! I like that idea a lot actually.

I can think of some trivia games. ^^  I would like to do a GC trivia game to test members knowledge of the site, but I'm not sure how to do it. Ideas?

sounds cool, what about hangman or cross word puzzles or mad libs? We could make new bingo cards using things around the site and run a bingo game.

Instead of trivia game. Can I do a puzzle game? I think it would be neat to have a GC puzzle game where I use the site's banner, members avis and siggies.

That'd be cute! I like that.

Glad you like the idea!

So, we are going to do a trial run of the Graphics Gladiators contest for the anniversary (since the anni is two weeks long) to see if we have any interest in such a contest.

Basically, it's a contest where people are paired off and everyone has to make like, a sig, for the theme. They'll have a time limit. The winner will progress on until we have a winner.

So a set of two people would make graphics together?

No. Basically what it is, is, we need an even number of people so everyone is matched up against someone and competing against each other until one is left. It'll be rounds.

Ohh. Okay I get it now. Sounds like fun!

me, me, MEEE!!!
I wanna host this contest!! I was thinking a signature/avatar contest related to anniversary

That's what this test-run of the graphics gladiators will be? ^^ and yes, of course we can do a themed art contest of the GC. Maybe somehow tweak it a little bit to make it different from last year's?

Hello my loves. It is July and the anniversary is later this month. We have to kick it into high gear and make sure everyone is on track, everyone is assigned, and that any ideas you may have to make this year awesome, thrown out here.

Hey what were the dates decided again? *wants to look at calendar to plan stream events* XD

If I go into labor, I'll let  you know XD I should be fine though. If my baby comes during the anniversary, on the way to the hospital I'll post here XD

About the graphic contest...can i still host it? @.@ and how should we do this contest

I am asking the same as Brit basically so we can also plan when to host the karaoke nights . About the special anniversary Guess the Song game, I am considering hosting multiple special rounds like was done for the Double Moon Birthday Bash event.

We are actually working on dates right now....

And yes, Haine.

If it's not a problem I was thinking of doing a puzzle game using members art. We could go as far as doing a guess the image game with their art too. I'm going to get permission or maybe start a topic where artist that don't mind their art being used to give permission for the games. I dont' want to upset anyone. We could also like Yami suggested use siggies or avies of our members too. So if that's not something someone else is doing I'd like to host that little event game.\


EDIT

I just had an idea were we could maybe have something like a Otaku contest were other members make Otaku senshi of a member, and then we vote like normal. I dunno just a thought.

That sounds good Ed!

Guys, if you all want to make seperate planning threads for your activities to further discuss them in detail please feel free to do so. We need to crack down and get this party rolling so its ready to go.

If we (the inner admin) go with the dates we're thinking of, the event is just only a week and a half away.

Is anyone doing the jigsaw puzzles?

I saw it was suggested by Ari-chan, but I don't think anyone has actually volunteered to do it yet.

Okay, I asked because I think Ed mention it at as well?

I would like to do my idea of using members avis and siggies. Of course it would be best that I make a thread where people can volunteer to have their avis and siggies used.
