Ok since the event is over I am combining all the SCDH09 blogs together into one massive one =D
SPAM CHAT DOES HALLOWEEN '09
TL;DR: What: a Halloween party in Spam Chat When: Friday October 30th, approximately 21:00 MST Who: Anyone, even if you've never been in Spam (be willing to accept Spam Chat humour and sarcasm - and not have your feelings hurt if someone is 'mean' to you) Why: For the lulz. Why else? Need a costume: Sign up in the Banner sign-up blog How do I participate? : Dress up and have either your team name or a banner showing which team in your signature
INFO: The great and glorious, rainbow-filled nation of Spam Chat has decided to unify the divided troupes, come together, and celebrate a massive Halloween Orgy.
We're calling it Spam Chat Does Halloween '09, and we think it's a pretty good idea (then again Ethyne is still amused by ponies, soooooo)
The general idea is to get together for a massive party near Halloween, involving dressing up, wearing siggies, role-playing as harry potter characters and zombies, and doing activities as much as possible in every forum /but/ our home base - spam chat. Oh and there's prizes.
We're going to have two sub-sections - the Witches and Wizards (W&W) and the Zombie Underground Revolutionary Gangsters & Hipsters (ZURGH). You /must/ pick one to be able to participate and somewhere in your forum signature you /must/ have your team name (or a banner clearly stating what team you're on)
Prizes will be awarded as follows: Anyone with an event signature who does an activity: two UB costumes Winning team (most wins from activities): your choice of a male, female, or pet nefarious costume Individual awards: eleven individual awards will be assigned. The criteria are kept secret, and we will have a big award show at the end of the night. Prizes are LE potions (Mordo to Robot Quell) and one person will win their choice of a character devil, witch, pumpkin, or dracula costume.
Keep reading the blogs for more info ----------------------------- SCDH09: TEAMS
W&W - Witches & Wizards: Colors: Purple and Green Leader: LenaSaturn Ideal Costume: Teenaged Witch Male and Female, Witch Female Costume Secondary Costume: Attempt to dress like a wizard, wear purple and green Need help: Mail LenaSaturn Sign up here: http://www.marapets.com/blogs.php?entry=268173
Siggies: Harry Potter themed, purple and green, wands, spells
Special: 'Claim' a Harry Potter character and wear a siggy with the person on it, role-play as this character on the forums with other Harry Potter characters
ZURGH - Zombie Underground Revolutionary Gangsters & Hipsters Colors: Red and Black Leader: FuzzieBear (Zombie Lady Counter-Revolution Leader) Second-in-Command: whywhywow Ideal Costume: Zombie Male and Female Secondary Costume: Devil Male and Female, Eleka Male and Female, wear red and black Need help: Mail LenaSaturn with anything about the event and whywhywow about sign ups. Sign up here: http://www.marapets.com/blogs.php?entry=268574
Siggies: Zombie-themed, with liberal amounts of blood
Special: 'Infect' non-spam people on the forums and declare they are now your zombie offspring, argue with Twilight people over zombies being far superior to vampires, insist that you're "getting bettah"
CAN I MAKE MY OWN PERSONAL BANNER? yes, please do!
WAIT, I NEED TO WEAR A COSTUME? short answer: no. long answer: the best part of Halloween (after the candy) is dressing up. ideally you'll wear the costume for your team, but spam chat celebrates non-lemmings and individuality. you don't even have to wear the team colours - just have something in your signature clearly stating which team you're on and it's all good.
HOW DO I GET A COSTUME? if you're unable to afford one, please use the banner sign-up blog to sign up to receive a free costume a little closer to Halloween itself. The costumes in Ethyne's trades are not for sale - they're to give away to people who can't afford one so anyone who wants to can participate in the event.
HAIRCUT COUPONS ARE KINDA EXPENSIVE :/ : we got your back. montange have collected tons and tons of clothing, beauty supplies, and haircut coupons to give away. montange is your Fairy of Undressing and Clothing Concerns, please drop her a mail. if she doesn't have what you need, mail LenaSaturn.
We've got a large number of activities planned. the activities will fall into team versus team, so you need to have chosen a team and declared it in your siggy.
each activity will have its own topic in Spam Chat with detailed information and signups
Role-play: two topics will be up in Role-playing forums and your team must have a coherent role-play. individual awards given to the best role-player (spam chat's definition of 'best', not role-play's) and to the most 'advanced' role-player
Zombie and Harry Potter Trivia: Xaenthe (the Encyclopedic Dementor of Insignificant Trivia) and MelJel (Brilliant Reservoir of Academia and Intelligence of Zombies) will each be hosting a trivia contest. each team participates in their area and the team who gets the most correct wins
Simon Says - one person is 'it', describes a post everyone else has to do, others follow, 'it' switches
Mass Item Send - each team is given a target and told to item bomb them within a time limit, whichever teams gets the most alerts wins
Forum Tic-Tac-Toe - a topic will go up in another forum and each team will have to get three different people to post in a row without being blocked by the other team
Forum Battleship - each team will have 'it', who will be mailed privately, then on a signal 'it' and everyone else posts on the forums. first team to find the other team's 'it' wins (five rounds, new 'it' each time)
Forum Musical Chairs - a topic will go up with only room for ten people to post. once ten people post a new topic goes up with only room for nine people to post. continues until there is only one person posting, that person's team wins
Forum Image Chain: each team has their own topic and must start drawing/photoshopping a forum signature. second person to post takes the image, modifies it, then puts it as their siggy and posts the link. third person modifies second person's image, puts it as their siggy, then posts the link, ect.
Final Event: Mass Forum Tic-Tac-Toe: each team tries to have the most recent post on the front page on /all/most/ forums and screenshot it

... prize? : yes, send it to LenaSaturn with an accompanying mail as my alerts are broken (please note unless you have 30+ of the same item, your prize will be added to someone's individual award) ... idea? : yes, mail it to LenaSaturn with a good title ("Idea for SCDH09" ) ... trivia question? : politely mail the trivia leader for the section. please note all trivia must have sources and it's a special project for the leaders, so if you don't get a reply/get a nasty mail, you're forewarned) ... activity idea: how much do you expect us to do in one night? if you think it's really awesome, mail LenaSaturn

... can i buy a costume from your trades? : no. i am reserving those costumes for people who can't afford them
SPECIAL THANKS TO: the Spam Chat Denizens who originally inspired the idea, Ethyne for organising the majority of the event, wildoaktree for activity ideas, hand-holding, and prize donation, Midnightsunrise for prize donation, Xaenthe for hand-holding and trivia compilation, Montange for collecting massive amounts of haircut coupons and clothing, MelJel for trivia compilation, Reindeary for team pixels
this is it. this is the topic concluding Spam Chat Does Halloween '09.
two months of participation, untold hours spent on MSN, countless people involved, and a three day saga i honestly thought would never end.
Lena and i have both been very proud to have brought you this event and we want to thank each of you (at fifty+ participants and counting) for joining and making this a spectacular success.
this is what happens when mara's best forum comes together and has a massive orgy. spam chat is the dearest part of my heart on mara and nearly all of my best memories are from here.
as a recap, everyone who dressed up/had a banner, joined a team, and participated in at least one activity will win two UB costumes. the costumes will be a Punk and a Cotton Candy costume. i only have 25 on my acc at this time and my friend who is holding the rest has some business going on, SO IT MIGHT TAKE ME A FEW DAYS TO SEND YOUR COSTUME. /anyone/ who mails/posts/msns asking "where are my costumes" will be disqualified immediately.
okay then!
secondly, the winning team, won by which team won the most activities, will win their choice of a male, female, or pet nefarious costume. we will have topics go up later detailing how you cash in for your prize - again, the person who is holding the prizes isn't on at this moment and i need to arrange to get the costumes.
lastly, we have twelve individual awards. these have been my personal favorite part of the event and the winner receives their own custom graphic, made by Staccato, and an LE potion.
my second post on this topic will be the results of who won the overall contest, and then i will introduce each individual award as a seperate reply. so sit tight and scroll down.

the forth individual award goes to the person who juuuuuuuust barely skirted getting the banhammer. if any staff had seen some of her posts on the W&W roleplay topic, there would have been hell. thus i present to you: The "Me: 1 System: 0" Award -You have been banned from the forums http://i34.tinypic.com/349av7c.jpg WINNER: Revitalise Prize: LE Potion, donated by wildoaktree
the fifth individual award goes to the person who's roleplaying had most of us going "wth is he on about"
with very enthusiastic and very long posts with very little sense, i present to you:
the "i r edvensed" award -"and they whispered softly with hushed voices" http://i37.tinypic.com/dvhb8h.jpg WINNER: Ilovemarapets444 Prize: LE Potion, donated by wildoaktree

alright, now, finally, after all that build-up, again, i introduce the last award.
this was the award that, upon being conceived a month ago, i have constantly watched spam for the person who could possibly win it.
upon moving half the event to Lena, i was pleasantly surprised that when we were discussing who would win the event, she had the exact same person in mind.
after twenty-two pages, lena and i are more than honored to present to you:
the "SPAM CHAT DOES HALLOWEEN '09 LEMMING LEADER" award - first off the cliff, most with style http://i36.tinypic.com/2s66l3o.png WINNER: Jesskerca
jess, you truly deserved this. i'll be in touch with you as soon as possible for you to claim your prize.
