Post any and all suggestions for a June/July Event!!

By waiting until then it gives us all time to stock up on GOLD LOL

also I am a total idiot when it comes to setting up code for these things so we will need someone who is good at it to PLEASEEEEEEE set up a
Banner
Clickable signature links


We will also need to decide on what we will call ourselves
Firecrackers?
Fireworks?
umm im kinda drawing a blank LOL

Also we do not have access to the GGOA Mules but we do have access to Metals Mule so i think we should use that one set up the thread

We also have a Contest Junkie that Drako and I set up and i think we should use her to post any ongoing contest such as a Random Number or Dice contest or a TekTek contest for the whole event the winner of the event would get a big prize (All guild prize supported)

You may of course do your own games during the event if you want (your prize supported) like we usually do ( i could possible arrange for some small prizes(500-2k from the guild fund for if you contact me a day in advance one prize per person per day)


PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR DATES!!!

Suggested Ideas


Retro

The Big Summer Gift-Giving Meltdown --and we can say they have been splashed with a water balloon

The Sensational Summer Gifting Event----and....the message could be about getting some sunshine

don't know if Metal's Mule would be good for the thread mascot, though....ppl. might be weary of a gifting thread run by a mule. Lotsa ppl. are nervous enough about someone being "real"


Snorpy

Gaia's kinda already done water balloons, so why don't we do the sunshine idea? C:


What about a Barbecue Bash? (Food items, summer items, or items from a wishlist) and the message can simply be "You've been invited to a summer celebration barbecue." or something like that? Who doesn't like a barbecue?

Rosie

Sunshine summer idea Msg:

Hi! you have just been gifted by Ray F. Sunshine (get it ray of sunshine get it get it? lol ) spreading JOY and SMILES all over Gaia. Why not click the link , join us and spread a little SUNSHINE of you own.

(this would be the entire message)


Freksrus

What about a Pool Party!

Ummm....hi! *wavies* whee

Idears.....(*make note--I spelled that wrong intentionally) rofl

Okay...seriously. *ponders meaning of serious* Got it! Howz about rather than a "4th of July" type event, more of a "summer" event? There are many, many gaians that are not in America, so the event should possibly be more generic.
Like....The Big Summer Gift-Giving Meltdown --and we can say they have been splashed with a water balloon...or something, lol!

Or....The Sensational Summer Gifting Event----and....the message could be about getting some sunshine...blah blah blah..
Lol, dunno...all I could come up with right now! Duh.....

One thing --don't know if Metal's Mule would be good for the thread mascot, though....ppl. might be weary of a gifting thread run by a mule. Lotsa ppl. are nervous enough about someone being "real"--y'know what I mean? Could just do a random roll again.
But...that's just me thinkin' out loud.

Oh--and don't worry rosie, about gettin' the technical stuff set up--there are several folks here that would be more than willing to lend a hand.

Okay...I have sounded off long enough here! --toodles! heart

Yea, the fourth of July idea wouldn't really work I think because of the nationality thing, me included. >w<
A summer event would be really really fun. :3

And I'd totally be up to doing the coding and everything. ^^

Also, Gaia's kinda already done waterballoons, so why don't we do the sunshine idea? C:

I like the Sunshine idea. biggrin

I'm not crazy about a July 4 event for the reason mentioned above. biggrin

Other possibility:

What about a Barbecue Bash? (Food items, summer items, or items from a wishlist) and the message can simply be "You've been invited to a summer celebration barbecue." or something like that? Who doesn't like a barbecue?

Maybe mid-June for the event -- 10th-24th? (if we want to try to keep to Feb, Apr, June, Aug, Oct, Dec schedule for events)?


Other possibility -- although not everyone is graduating, this is the time of year for graduation. What about a graduation party? We'd have to do it a little quicker probably -- maybe June 6-20th? Not sure of a message though, but it's a suggestion. (I personally like the sunshine or barbecue better). biggrin

What about a Pool Party!

How about something summer vacation based? Maybe a message could include something like....

I went an vacation and brought you back this souvenir. If you want to take part in our summer vacation..or go on vacation with us...

or

I've been having fun in the sun!

or whatever

We could have themes from great vacation spots around the world. It could be incorporated with the fun in the sun theme.

Some vacation spots...

Paris & London

Walt Disney World

Yellowstone National Park

Jamaica

Hawaii

Italy: Rome, Venice



Maybe some game could be played involving naming ten well known beaches or a tourist outfit tek tek contest. If we do vacations and fun in the sun it is much less limited...the first person to post a souvenir from Disney or Paris or where ever, wins...could be pictures from photobucket or gaian items that are relevant. I went to Brazil on vacation and came back with this man eating plant, he he. I went to Jamaica and came back with these sandals...you get the idea.


Just brainstorming.

OHHH i really like CLaire's ideas ... you know those Tshirts they used to have ... My parents went to (whereever) and all i got was this lousy...t shirt LOL those were fun ... that could be a possible Message

Ooh!
I love the vacation spots idea!
Making the banners and stuff would be fun for this. xDD

I also think we should have a lot of contests and stuff in the thread.
We could all pitch in to get gold for prizes, or if Metals_mule has donations we could be able to use that for contest prizes. :3
PostPosted: Sun Jun 15, 2008 8:40 am


I definitely like the vacation idea!
Hmmmmm....*puts on thinking cap*
Message posibilities:

1) Lucky you--we brought you a souvenir!! You've been invited to join us on our super summer vacation! Just pick up a souvenir gift, and share the fun with another lucky vacationer! Confused? Check it out at........

2) It's vacation time!! Wheeee!! You have been invited to travel along with us on our incredible summer vacation! Make sure and share a souvenir with another lucky gaian and spread the fun! Want to know more? Just go to......

3) We're set for vacation--and YOU have been invited to come along with us on our travels! We got you a souvenir to get you started--just journey on over here...............and see what it's all about!

(short message) 4) Hey--we just got back from vacation and brought you a souvenir! You can gift souvenirs too--check it out!..............


Possible names:

Summer Sun Gifting Event!
GGOA Goes on Vacation Event!
Super Summer Vacation Event!
Travel the World Gifting Event!
Super Summer Souvenirs Event! (I love illiterations)


I REALLY love the "lousy t-shirt" idea too, but some might be confused at seeing the word "lousy" right off the bat (and think they are to gift worthless/trashy stuff), or....I don't know if they would be so familiar with that elsewhere in the world? Is that just an American kitchy thing...don't know...
Oh, I'm just voicing opinion here, so give yur input! whee

Wouldn't it be cute to dress our avis and put them in the pictures (i.e. a British rocker in front of Big Ben; Cinderella at Disney World; a hula girl in Hawaii, etc) for our banners. biggrin
