Seeking Volunteers from the Community!

Something in the Air...?

Hello, WindRose! We just wanted to let everyone know that besides Solstice, we have also been hard at work getting ready for the next moderator event! This event will take place in January and will be a celebration of the New Year, as well as a celebration of our lovely community. And because this event is community focused, we thought it would be fun to include some of you in the event preparation process by letting players host some of the games!


What is involved in hosting a game?

The gameplay, rules, and general layout for the event threads are already prewritten, so hosts will not have to set that up, nor will they have to tally the games or otherwise manage the thread during the event.

Instead, players will simply insert their own sators into the thread intro to "run" the games, and write a short in-universe "fluff" introduction to the thread -- this can be anything from describing the game booth or set up, the sator running the booth, villagers playing, etc.
Players will also be required to post the thread the game will be hosted in 1-3 days before the event begins on January 10th.

The following are some examples of previous event threads, to give you an idea of what is expected for game introductions.

Example #1 - Love Bug Plushie Knitting 
Example #2 - Peach Berry Jam Making   
Example #3 - Charming Chocolates        
Example #4 - Flowers of Friendship        




Important Info

If you are interested in being a game host, simply post in this thread!
You will be PMed a link where you can view the available game threads. To claim a game simply post in this thread or respond to the PM stating something like, "I'd like to host [name of game]"

Once you have claimed a game, you will be given a google doc with the game thread's formatting inside. You will be able to edit this doc so you may write the introduction and add your sator to the thread.

You may edit the introduction and if a game has bonus prizes you may slightly adjust the "prize won" description to fit your sator/intro. However, please do not edit the "Rules", "How To Play", or any other section. Suggestions are welcome to fix errors, make rules clearer, etc, however please either PM these to CacophonyCrowe (#1078) or post them in this thread.

Once you have completed your introduction, post in this thread or send a PM letting us know.

The event will begin on January 10th. A few days before the event begins, post an empty thread in the Special Events forum. Once the event begins at rollover, a moderator will copy-paste all the event info into the thread.

Your game introduction post must be completed by 11:50pm on January 4th.

Volunteers will be accepted until the end of this month, up to and including December 31st.

Players who host a game thread and write an introduction will be awarded one tick to their Mod Writing sticker.
