The Imladris Christmas Party: Discussion

[Elentari]

As you all know from the e-mail I sent, I plan to have a christmas party here on Imladris! Now, I need some help planning what we're going to have. Here's what I need help with:

Thinking up awards
Someone to present the awards
What games to have at the party
What sort of dances (remember the majority of us are female, but I'm sure we can persuade some people to paly male characters)
Er... and anything else you can think of...
Oh, and what we should call the awards (They're known as the Downie's on the 'downs, but 'Imladrisies sounds dumb)

The earlier we start planning, the more we can decide to add!

The christmas party will have its own board. Hopefully by then the RPG will be a catagory, not just a board.

[Lossentilien]

My it's weird being in the RPG section...

Well I feel that we should be allowed a visit from Santa and his...helpers.

And perhaps, I don't know if it's possible, but could add a Christmassy feel to the board nearer the time? I'm not sure how changing the colours works, but we could perhaps get a new image/icon thingie for the festive period.
And we may have to re-write some of our fave Christmas songs to relate to LotR...
And of course we have our chat room, and we will have a heck of a lot to talk about come December.

I'll get back to you whenever I think of anything good...

[Elentari]

Changing the colours and graphics is easy. I'll do that on dec first. Woo, we could have some kinda avent calender in Fun & Games.

Remember, some of us can't get onto chat. I'm not allowed to install anything on this computer, but I wouldn't work if i did.

WOO! SANTA! So... who wants to dress up as santa?

The song thing sounds cool!

[Niluial]

Oh!!! I want to help!!!! OOO maybe I could maybe be presenter?? And the color changing sounds cool… maybe we can even make a temporary Christmas banner. And why don’t we have secret Santa’s… we do something special for someone… I don’t know how we could do it but we can work it out!!

[Niluial]

Ok this may sound dumb but what about Imies instead of Imladrisies. And here are a list of awards we can award (lol sounds funny).

[Lossentilien]

Can you not get into the chat through the 'downs? That doesn't involve downloading anything...

Well we can do all the-
most informative post,
lenghtiest (erm...I don't even know if that's a word.)
...worst speller perhaps GaladrielOlden?
I would suggest most pointless post, but knowing us there'd be too many in the running for it...

We could have a Christmas feast. ;D
Secret santas sound fun too, and we're all up for a challenge.
Perhaps we could have a Christmas themed debate? And do something for the winning house.

[Niluial]

worst speller

We know who is winning that! Helky ... I could be runner up!!

Yea something to do with debating would be fun! Was Jesus born on Christmas day

I would suggest most pointless post, but knowing us there'd be too many in the running for it...

Aha we could all win the prize for that!

Nilly

[Niluial]

So how are you choosing the presenter? Because I really want to be the presenter… I’ll wear my finest clothing!!!

Nilly

[Mippin]

Dances? We could all rock around the christmas tree at the christmas party hop.

We could have more than one presenter for each award perhaps? That would solve the 'who gets to the be presenter' ordeal!

We could have a snowball fight! Mwahaha

[Dragoneyes]

If we're doing dances we're going to have at least one round of the chicken dance.

What about an award for randomness?

Hmm, bit like the pointless post one. What about one for the topic which is most off-topic. If that makes any sense.

I would rather like to be a presenter *completes a very complicated and well practised bow which includes lots of flourishes and nods and swirls and things*

[Niluial]

Nilly cries “but I want to be presenter” screems on the floor

Umm yea it is a good idea to have 3 presenters!!

You, me and Dragoneyes

[Dragoneyes]

Who's the other presenter?

Screams

[Ophelia]

Ok , I`m not going to ask to be the presenter . There are allready too many of those ;D
But there is another problem - I do not know will I be there for X-mas and New Year . I live in Europe , remember ? And I have got these thoughts I will happen to spend my time sorounded with my half insane family .

[Ophelia]

But I suggest we can give the "best mod" and let`s not forget the "most rarest visiting member" etc but right now I have to go so I might come up with more ideas.

-opHelia-

[Elentari]

Ok, ok... We'll work out the presenters later... Let's work out the awards first (i'll upate this on the first post after this post):
