Hey!

I'm making this thread to consolidate announcements for player-run holiday events!

We've just finished hammering out the details for our party, but if anyone else is doing an event, I'd be happy to put the info in the OP too!

With no further ado:

6QOGCSC.png

On Saturday, December 19th at 3pm PST (23:00GMT), Shutup Wesley will be hosting its annual holiday party and giveaway!

This year's prizes include 75 lobi/lockbox/promo ships, 25 plasmonic leeches, and 4,800 superior upgrade techs.

If you can't make the party, there are forum events that will be judged before/after the party starts, so you've got plenty of time to make an entry, and if you win, you'll have a chance to claim your prize from the pool before anyone else!

HOW TO JOIN?
  • To answer trivia questions and make friendly banter with party goers use: "/channel_join WesleyChristmas"
  • All events and trivia questions will be announced via the alternate channel: "/channel_join WesleyAnnounce"

If you're not familiar with managing channels on STO, please consult this helpful illustration!

Join them both now and make them different colors so you can easily pick out announcements!

  1. Forum Events
  2. Where's Wesley
  3. Shuttle PvP
  4. Trivia
  5. Costume Contests

    We need Forum emotes for threads and events like these. Guess I'll just have to use words instead:

    *Salutes repetitiveepic with respect*. You and your fleet are doing a wonderful thing.

    Ah, the good old Shutup Wesley Christmas party. The tactical races around DS9 last year were hilarious to watch and see how creative people could get with their powers.

    Nice logo work there :D

    That said, I don't really think you can ask other people/fleets who want to advertise their parties/events to only post in your thread, just because you said you wanted to "consolidate" announcements. You obviously thought you needed your own thread to advertise your event, so other people/fleets may feel the same.

    I believe the OP's intent was to offer other fleets/people to join in with festivities & their own giveaways; and if they do post their threads, they could get a link in the original post too. Cheer up, mr. Grinch. :*

    But you are the one poo poo a thread for no reason. Thank you Wesley for coming up with a better giveaway than the game publisher for the fourth year!

    Oh, I see the problem, you are confused. I'm not "poo pooing" anything. I think Dental's event is great. I also think each person/fleet should be able to advertise their own events if they want without needing to post in someone else's thread. No part of that is "poo pooing" anything :)

    I had a lot of fun helping to run this last year, and it'll be even better this year. I don't mind the negativity, I just hope people have fun attending!

    It's ok, we had a lunatic constantly ranting in the last event thread too, but we all still managed to have a good time.

    For the first timers out there, you can read last year's thread here. It's full of testimonials after the party.

    On a similar note, if you missed last year's party, an enterprising photographer took screenshots of the whole thing here.

    Lots of pictures of the costume contests. Although the categories aren't labeled, it might give you a good idea of what you'll be up against. Good luck to everybody!

    Did not get to participate as much or as long as I wanted to last year. Did not win a single prize last year. But I really enjoyed myself and had a great time.

    Which is the real Grand Prize of this Event anyways.
