SPAM CHAT DOES HALLOWEEN '09 - Finished
15 years, 2 months & 5 days ago
19th Oct 2009 22:37 Ok since the event is over I am combining all the SCDH09 blogs together into one massive one =D
SPAM CHAT DOES HALLOWEEN '09
TL;DR:
What: a Halloween party in Spam Chat
When: Friday October 30th, approximately 21:00 MST
Who: Anyone, even if you've never been in Spam
(be willing to accept Spam Chat humour and sarcasm - and not have your feelings hurt if someone is 'mean' to you)
Why: For the lulz. Why else?
Need a costume: Sign up in the Banner sign-up blog
How do I participate? : Dress up and have either your team name or a banner showing which team in your signature
INFO:
The great and glorious, rainbow-filled nation of Spam Chat has decided to unify the divided troupes, come together, and celebrate a massive Halloween Orgy.
We're calling it Spam Chat Does Halloween '09, and we think it's a pretty good idea
(then again Ethyne is still amused by ponies, soooooo)
The general idea is to get together for a massive party near Halloween, involving dressing up, wearing siggies, role-playing as harry potter characters and zombies, and doing activities as much as possible in every forum /but/ our home base - spam chat.
Oh and there's prizes.
We're going to have two sub-sections - the Witches and Wizards (W&W) and the Zombie Underground Revolutionary Gangsters & Hipsters (ZURGH).
You /must/ pick one to be able to participate and somewhere in your forum signature you /must/ have your team name (or a banner clearly stating what team you're on)
Prizes will be awarded as follows:
Anyone with an event signature who does an activity: two UB costumes
Winning team (most wins from activities): your choice of a male, female, or pet nefarious costume
Individual awards: eleven individual awards will be assigned. The criteria are kept secret, and we will have a big award show at the end of the night.
Prizes are LE potions (Mordo to Robot Quell) and one person will win their choice of a character devil, witch, pumpkin, or dracula costume.
Keep reading the blogs for more info

CAN I MAKE MY OWN PERSONAL BANNER?
yes, please do!
WAIT, I NEED TO WEAR A COSTUME?
short answer: no.
long answer: the best part of Halloween (after the candy) is dressing up. ideally you'll wear the costume for your team, but spam chat celebrates non-lemmings and individuality.
you don't even have to wear the team colours - just have something in your signature clearly stating which team you're on and it's all good.
HOW DO I GET A COSTUME?
if you're unable to afford one, please use the banner sign-up blog to sign up to receive a free costume a little closer to Halloween itself.
The costumes in Ethyne's trades are not for sale - they're to give away to people who can't afford one so anyone who wants to can participate in the event.
HAIRCUT COUPONS ARE KINDA EXPENSIVE :/ :
we got your back.
montange have collected tons and tons of clothing, beauty supplies, and haircut coupons to give away.
montange is your Fairy of Undressing and Clothing Concerns, please drop her a mail. if she doesn't have what you need, mail LenaSaturn.
----------------------------------
SCDH09: ACTIVITIES
We've got a large number of activities planned. the activities will fall into team versus team, so you need to have chosen a team and declared it in your siggy.
each activity will have its own topic in Spam Chat with detailed information and signups
Role-play: two topics will be up in Role-playing forums and your team must have a coherent role-play. individual awards given to the best role-player
(spam chat's definition of 'best', not role-play's) and to the most 'advanced' role-player
Zombie and Harry Potter Trivia: Xaenthe (the Encyclopedic Dementor of Insignificant Trivia) and MelJel (Brilliant Reservoir of Academia and Intelligence of Zombies) will each be hosting a trivia contest. each team participates in their area and the team who gets the most correct wins
Simon Says - one person is 'it', describes a post everyone else has to do, others follow, 'it' switches
Mass Item Send - each team is given a target and told to item bomb them within a time limit, whichever teams gets the most alerts wins
Forum Tic-Tac-Toe - a topic will go up in another forum and each team will have to get three different people to post in a row without being blocked by the other team
Forum Battleship - each team will have 'it', who will be mailed privately, then on a signal 'it' and everyone else posts on the forums. first team to find the other team's 'it' wins (five rounds, new 'it' each time)
Forum Musical Chairs - a topic will go up with only room for ten people to post. once ten people post a new topic goes up with only room for nine people to post. continues until there is only one person posting, that person's team wins
Forum Image Chain: each team has their own topic and must start drawing/photoshopping a forum signature. second person to post takes the image, modifies it, then puts it as their siggy and posts the link. third person modifies second person's image, puts it as their siggy, then posts the link, ect.
Final Event: Mass Forum Tic-Tac-Toe: each team tries to have the most recent post on the front page on /all/most/ forums and screenshot it

SCDH09: Awards & Closing Ceremony
[posted by Ethyne & LenaSaturn]
this is it.
this is the topic concluding Spam Chat Does Halloween '09.
two months of participation, untold hours spent on MSN, countless people involved, and a three day saga i honestly thought would never end.
Lena and i have both been very proud to have brought you this event and we want to thank each of you (at fifty+ participants and counting) for joining and making this a spectacular success.
this is what happens when mara's best forum comes together and has a massive orgy. spam chat is the dearest part of my heart on mara and nearly all of my best memories are from here.
as a recap, everyone who dressed up/had a banner, joined a team, and participated in at least one activity will win two UB costumes.
the costumes will be a Punk and a Cotton Candy costume.
i only have 25 on my acc at this time and my friend who is holding the rest has some business going on, SO IT MIGHT TAKE ME A FEW DAYS TO SEND YOUR COSTUME.
/anyone/ who mails/posts/msns asking "where are my costumes" will be disqualified immediately.
okay then!
secondly, the winning team, won by which team won the most activities, will win their choice of a male, female, or pet nefarious costume.
we will have topics go up later detailing how you cash in for your prize - again, the person who is holding the prizes isn't on at this moment and i need to arrange to get the costumes.
lastly, we have twelve individual awards.
these have been my personal favorite part of the event and the winner receives their own custom graphic, made by Staccato, and an LE potion.
my second post on this topic will be the results of who won the overall contest, and then i will introduce each individual award as a seperate reply. so sit tight and scroll down.
