Hallo and *HUGGLEZ* everyone. ^^;

I suppose most of you know me as the scenery screentographer, or my self-imposed name, Notorious Galka Couch Sitter!

Others know me from "The Gathering", and that's why I've posted anew today ^.^

We missed out on a gathering this past October (hectic for me, because of midterms), and I have greatly missed seeing old friends and new.

So, my proposal for this month, the month of Thanksgiving, is to set aside a day to gather once more and give thanks for good friends, good adventures, and good fun.

I was thinking along the lines of the 20th of November, to have all those who would like to join, gather in Purgonogo Isle, but then I realized, not all of my fondest friends have CoP, and I'd hate to leave out anyone. Instead, I figured, perhaps we could gather under the trees of La Theine Plateau. (It has the spiffiest fall looking trees, and with little campers and low agro, it'll be safer for any low level friends to come join us)

Each person attending, I would ask (but if you can't, it's understandable ^^) to bring one or two or more of their favorite meal or food item to share, pass around, and eat when we've all gathered. And then we'll talk, tell tales of our adventures, and whatnot, and give thanks for our spiffiest friends new and old.

If wanted or needed, we can have a temporary pearl for those who come so we won't needlessly blabber in the open air. ^^

So, that's my small proposal. I don't know if it will come to fruition, but I'd love to see it happen. Especially if not everyone has someone to spend with during these holidays of getting together (for those of us in the U.S... not sure if anything similar is happening in other countries ^^), at least we can get together as a Bismarckian family.

So, there you have it ^^ *wavies*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Games

Relay Race~(Volunteers needed - one for every running pt)
- One member from each five person pt will be given a different item to carry around. Remaining members will be positioned in different areas through out the map.

The first runner will have to find the second member to pass the item to, and the second the third member, and so on. As soon as the item is passed, the member that was passed the item must take lead, and the passer must /follow the new leader.

Volunteers in each party will follow to ensure that the runners find the relay party members in order and will help correct them if they aren't, as well as check the order of the /follow-ing runners ^^

Fetch This, Fetch That~(Volunteers needed - around two)
- Those who wish to participate will gather in one party. (I encourage you to party with people you've just befriended to make it more interesting ^^)

Each party will stand at a certain distance away from me. I will stand at an opposite area. I will then call out for a certain item, be it a pink pearl, or a meat-like item, or a two-handed weapon.

If you know you have such an item in the party, it is your job to run up to me and initiate a trade. If you can show me the item in trade, or if you tell me to check you after having started the trade (just in case you are wearing the item instead), you win a point for your team.

The team with the most points win ^^ Who knows what I may ask for? So having a team with varied items is a good thing ^^ (Yes, if I ask for something like an ore, you can run up to the nearest worm, and try to kill it for one ^^)

Hide N Go Seek~(Volunteers needed - Hiders, Protectors)
- Each Volunteer will have a different stack of items and be hidden through out all of La Theine (now I'm hoping these Hiders won't reveal their location through /tells... c'mon now ^^ no cheating).

The Seekers, of course, have to find the Hiders, fetch the item, and the person who fetches all or the most items, wins.

(In no way will the Seekers be inside Ordelles, or any other remote area that will force you to have to zone)

Protectors will be stationed throughout La Theine so that in case the NM Rams spawn, you will be informed to stay out of the area and moved to safety.

Mithra Says (Variation of Simon says)
~(Volunteers needed - 2-3 {to keep track of the text})
- I will /emote : Merodi says to /poke or /welcome someone, or yourself.

If I say "Merodi says", the last person to do the /emote or if they do the wrong /emote is out.

If I don't say "Merodi says" and you do the /emote, you're out too ^^

The last person standing, wins ^^

Macro Dance Contest~(Volunteers needed - Helpers)
- Time for the Macro Dance Contest! Put your best /emotes into one macro with a spiffy one liner to'm and see if you can impress the audience who will /clap for their favorite ones and put it to the vote.

Prizes will be awarded in each of these categories:
~Cutest Dance
~Funniest Dance
~Coolest Dance
~Spiffiest Dance

Guess the Trader~(Volunteers needed - 8)
- Participants will work in parties to try and figure out, who is the "Trader" and what was he/she traded.

I will have a certain item. No one but me and the "Trader" will know what it is.

It is up to the other volunteers to try to convince the participants that they are the trader and have the item I traded them. (Please, honesty is the best policy, so if you're the "Trader", don't /tell your friends you are ><)

The Participants will then send through /tell to me, who they think is the "Trader" after a given amount of time. The Participants who guess correctly, win ^^

Vana'Diel Trivia~(Volunteers needed - ?)
- Every so often, I'll offer trivia questions with prizes to each one ^^ If you know the answer, be the first to send me a /tell with it, and you win!

Scavenger Hunt~(Volunteers needed - one per party)
- I will have a list of items given out to each Volunteer. They will all be different lists. It's up to the party to find as many of the items on the list as possible. (I will not make it uber super rare expensive items, just a list of easy cheap-o-to-some-extent stuff)

Volunteers will read out the list for the party and help them figure out just how much they have done and hold the items for them. When the Party has completed the list, the first, second, and third parties to return will each claim a prize ^.^

Say Something Nice~(Volunteers needed - none)
- Yes, yes, this is like a kiddie game, but you know what? It's nice to hear someone say something nice about yourself. You never know what nice thing you'll hear.

So in this game, we'll sit in as best a line or circle as we can, and the first person will tell one nice thing about the person on their right.

>> Well, that's all I have for now ^^ I hope these will keep you all occupied in fun. If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer for a certain game, please let me know. I'll try to cycle as many of the games as possible, so if you volunteer for one, and would like to try to play it, you can. (I hope it works ^^) Thanks everyone! <<
