Easter/St Pat Event Discussion!

[Pixilated Envy]

'Ello there. During last night's meeting we came to the realization that we have nothing in the works for March. Well, we're going to change that.

We'll be looking to start doing something festive some where within the middle of the month. Now, many of you had some incredible ideas on what you would like to do-- and that's wonderful! I'm hoping everyone will get a chance to place some input on ideas they would have.

We're primarily focusing on doing something for Easter-- seeing we will have a lil bit more time to plan for that.

Some of the prime ideas that stood out were Egg Coloring Contests, and setting up some form of scavenger hunt. Should we do a scavenger hunt it would be a great idea to also allow it to be a chance to educate people on what we do. Perhaps even some trivia or the like on the Ball of now and the past. At any rate.. I'm putting the Ball in your court for now-- at least a week or maybe two, for everyone to voice their ideas.

I'm not going to guarantee that everyone's ideas will be used-- however, I will take it into great consideration.

The event will likely take place in Chatterbox-- as it was determined that the Community Event Forum was not nearly as popular as we hoped.

ummmm...can we use my idea for the st patricks event thing...the hunt for the pot of gold?

I second the Scavenger Hunt. biggrin

If you want to use an Olympian theme for the Easter event, you could have a 'hunt for the golden apple(s)'.
Eris, goddess of chaos, used to use a golden apple. Wherever she threw it, people would fight over it. Lovers would fight, best friends would be torn apart, and countries would go to war over it.
Well, someone could have glimpses the extraordinary golden apple and now everyone's on a hunt for it.
Prizes or gold could be given out to the people who find them. We could have the 'golden apples' be people in towns, or certain pages in a thread. Whoever posts first finds it? Something like that.
Just an idea, if you want to use it.

Heyyy, Ace here. Sorry for not showing up in months.

For the savenger hunt, maybe we can have Easter looking mules in towns, and we can try finding them there...? Maybe we can give hints out too. And if there would be a prize, I would say it should be easter-themed. (no der)

Wouldn't that reveal the theme of the Ball? O.o And, does Greek Mythology have Golden Apples? Good idea though. *thumbs up*

@Shunatsu: I thought the theme was already known?

@Hytori: You're right about the disaster things too, but I was just focusing on relationships because people could cause some drama with that.
And we don't have to create items, we just hide people. A few mules with the names "Golden Apple Number 1" or something like that. If someone comes up to them and says "I found you!" Then they win. You could have them hide in the most remote places in towns.
But the thread idea is good too. Sometimes towns don't work well for users, and the thread idea would be fairer for them.
You could find some people willing to participate easily.

@Shunatsu: If the theme isn't known, then maybe it would be a good hint for it...?

Call me old fashion but-- if we do a scavenger hunt-- I'd like it to be more focused on bunnies/eggs and more Easterish. I will say this, though, that sounds like an intriguing contest to hold during the ball itself. If I had the means to fit it into our room I most certainly would.

I do also like the incorporating of towns/live action areas-- assuming we can keep our event goers safe from many of the issues I hear plaguing the virtual world areas. Perhaps a zOMG scavenger hunt/hide'n'go seek. in barton town or Village Green? Using riddles and other things?

Such a complex idea would, however, create the need for many helpers. Mainly due to layers and the like.

are we still going to try to throw something together?
