Oof, that sucks, Med.
Anyway, I was browsing the net today, and, well, I found this video. MM, you should totally give this a watch.

(I'm tired, it's morning and I have to do this over the phone.) I saw there were some questions about the event so I'll try to answer all of them informally over here.
>Is the event only on BMG? Yes. I'm trying to get you to post there so it'll seem more active. Consider it a Christmas present you can give to me. >Do you visit 2 places in one post or do you have to split. The idea was to have them in one post. I'll only be writing one short update with what your character(s) find in the area. So you can split your intro post in two of you want as long as they're both before the deadline and you don't visit more than two places in total. For those with more than one trainer character; you can choose if only one of them goes to two areas or if two of them go to one area each. Its your choice but there's only 2 areas per player, and you can only claim the $250 RP reward once, regardless of whether you split your post or not. >Every other question about what's allowed: I should have clarified this a bit more perhaps and I'll amend this extra rule. I'm giving you a lot more freedom to decide what's going on at the event. Practically allowing you to self-update even, like you would at the FB bar. I don't want an intro post to say "my character will attempt to decorate a tree" with an update of "you have successfully decorated a tree". Feel free to describe what ornaments there are, what you use, etc. Someone mentioned having Abomasnow instead of pine trees, which I thought was a brilliant oversight on my part, and is an example of the creativity your free to use. Go ahead and say that an Abomasnow is getting decorated by you instead. Go ahead and say if it gets angry at you for it. Someone else mentioned bringing a Delibird to the Sweet Stockings to entertain the children. That's fine by me, but as the updates are so short, you can describe how this happens yourself if you want something more elaborate. For the theaters you can write out what play you and your Pokémon play in, for the Snack Stalls you can describe the food that you see and try, for the caroling you can even say what songs you want to sing and such. Consider the place to be large enough that there are multiple instances of theaters, stalls, markets, etc. So whatever someone declares is going in one place doesn't necessarily have to affect anyone else in their posts. Feel free to bring as many Pokemon as you want. Feel free to even coordinate with another another and have your characters meet if you want to. In short: Consider the event to just be an RP prompt in which you describe what your character is doing or wants to do. A lot of the general restrictions are lifted because this is a short happening and not an actual adventure. The only rules here (so far) is that I ask you don't reward yourself with prizes and please don't hint at what you want. I'll be ignoring that any way.

Finally finished up my post for the Christmas event. Took a while, but I think it was well worth it. Ain't that right, Noxie?

Alright, I've finally managed to get a new computer, so now I should be quicker then I have been these past months.
Well not right now, but after the holidays. I'm kind of busy until then. (Just thought I should update anybody who cared to know.) |

I might as well take this opportunity to let you all know that yet another Ice-type has joined my team. Say hello to Ava! : Vuuuuul~ ^_^ *snow starts to fall* Heh, so cute. The adoption was actually confirmed some time ago, but I only just now had the time to add Ava to my member post. Not bad on the timing, though, as it's now Christmas Eve. Pretty fitting, IMO. And speaking of Christmas, this is generally the time of year I advertise a certain trio of Visionary Glade posts of mine, a series known as The Seviper Who Saved Christmas. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Oh, yes- congrats on Atalanta's evolution, TKF! (nicknames: Ava=Alolan Vulpix) |

Wb, ES!
And congrats, MM! I'm actually kinda anxiously awaiting confirmation of my Snowpix capture since I would like to use her in the Christmas event if possible, but I worry it might be cutting close to the deadline. ^^; Why did this whim have to happen now instead of a week earlier. OTL

I will try to get Snowdown updated as quickly as possible. XD It might be best to have a backup plan for the Christmas event though because I have a lot of stuff to write lol

No pressure, if the timing doesn't work I don't mind. XP
Personally I kinda miss the advent calendar/free giveaways without requiring RP sometimes though. ^^; Will they ever make a return?

I wouldn't rule them out. While we do enjoy shifting the focus of FB to a more RP-centric game, we know people don't always have time to type out replies all of the time

We just kind of see what we do for each holiday when we near them. I can't guarantee you what we'll we do for some of the other upcoming holidays but, like Sandaa said, I wouldn't rule them out either.
----- To all yet-to-post players in the Winter Market Event thread: While the due date is less than 24 hours away, I will in all likelihood not post the update to the event until the Americans have gone to bed on the 24th (or, to put it better, until I'm sure everyone will see the update on X-Mas and not earlier). So if you can get a post in before then, you're good. Hopefully that gives some of you a bit more time. If some of you feel too pressured to write out a post for the event, then don't. You can just quote the intro and mention which two areas you'll visit. There is no penalty for doing this. A written post simply allows you to pick up $250 from the Pokébank if you want. It's X-Mas, I'm not interested to stress anyone out if I can avoid it and you all deserve a claim to some of the rewards.

The FB 12 Days of Christmas always was a cool event. I remember one year I did all my pickup posts for that event entirely in rhyme.
But yeah- I personally do really like the RP-required events we've been having. I've never had any real trouble coming up with something for each one, and in more than one case they've proven to be a good opportunity for an evolution. That said, I've also had no problem RPing my posts in events where RP was not required. I once used a New Year's event to provide some further backstory abut Jack and Myrtle, and a Christmas event to continue the story of a Snover I used to own (well, two separate Christmas events now). (nicknames: Jack=Ditto; Myrtle=Banette) |

Yeah, RP events are definitely better for the whole character development thing, and you actually feel as though you earn your rewards. I also find them interesting in terms of storylines. For instance, the Halloween events served to propel some character development for Attila (Larvitar) and Alex, following the events of the Stewie line (which involved me implementing operation get a mega accessory by removing a limb (and has all replies for next stage when MM's ready)) and even the Xmas one, depending on outcome, could be the catalyst for purifying my Zangoose.

Not quite, there's still one reply I'm waiting on. I have the bulk of my next post written up already, so once all the replies are in, it won't take me long to post at all.

I don't mind a mix of both, but the FB 12 Days of Christmas was always a tradition I looked forward to at least (like UPN Secret Santa). Was sad when it didn't happen this year. =(
