Riddle Me This has come up with a brilliant plan for an event during the day. Last year as I recall, there was the pancake breakfast (I still have my pancakes and coke xD) and then not a whole lot to do until the Towns march.

So I certainly believe Riddle's idea can work throughout the entirity of the day. Simply put it's a forum invasion. Though not in the style of the 4chan/420chan/doc bot invasions, which will get people banned.

Instead it's more along the lines of people who know the rules of certain forums make threads which may or may not have to with the movie, comic, or Guy Fawkes day itself and post the link where all of us can follow it and post ON TOPIC in costume. So we're not taking over forums as much as taking over a thread.

She and I and others have been planning this for a month now, and we'd really like to see it reach full potential.

Rules:
In order for it to work, there are a few things which absolutely must be followed to protect the integrity of the event, as well as prevent warnings and bannings. (And trust me, the main discussion forum mods are super discipline happy. >_<)

- Before you create a thread or even post in a forum, take the time NOW to familiarize yourself with the rules of each forum. Generally, the rules of General Discussion and Gaia Community Discussion are the most strict and you might as well apply most of the rules to both forums.

- Unless you are in the Chatterbox, do not bump, post a simple emote reply or go off topic. Part of V's draw is the intelligence and we should maintain that we are intelligent people and do more than post lazily, which will reflect poorly on ALL of us.

- If you doubt your topic will work for a certain forum, run it by me, or a mod, or simply don't post it.

- Just because one person has already posted in a particular forum, does not mean you cannot make a thread there as well. As long as it fits the forum, go ahead and make it. The more we can reply to, the more people will see us. ;D

Riddle-Me-This
Rules I hope everyone will follow:

- No hate topics
- No "Gaia is a totalitarian state" threads gonk
- No Anti-2%.... Personally I request that because you can bet you'll only end up with me and others V fans that are Pro 2% upset (I'm neutral personally, but Anti-bashing2%). Spending the 5th arguing in the forums about it will not make anyone happy. It also breaks our unity as an event to have fans argue with each other. I request that if you do make such threads... that you do not link them here. I will heavily regret ever suggesting this idea if it turns into a "Bash the Admins" Event.
-Keep the event fun. Celebrate your freedom to do this. Don't cry murder if this ends with mods blocking all our threads.


We realize that the entire point of this story is bucking the system and toppling corrupt governments but as that will get our threads moved and deleted, and most assuredly result in disciplinary actions, we'll have to suck it up and be as good as possible, else we won't have a presence as is the point of this event.

On the day of the event, post your links in this thread and I'll add them to a list in the next post.

On a side note: Some of you may or may not be familiar with the GCD (Gaia Community Discussion.) Recently, a GCD guild I was in played a little prank which is similar to what we will be doing in the forums. We all went in and created threads with very similar thread titles (why,______ why) but made each thread absolutely relevant to the forum with a proper discussion. It worked. For nearly an hour, those were the only thread titles on the front page. Some people still have screencaps in their sigs. xD

Unfortunately, the mods scoured each thread looking for any excuse to move the threads, which is why we must make absolutely certain we're posting legimate threads.

However, the success of the majority of those threads does prove that what we want to do will work - as long as you follow the forum rules.

Riddle also made some post images that can help when advertising and running threads.

IMPORTANT: BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN YOU USE BLANK IMAGES IN ANY OF THE DISCUSSION FORUMS. THE CHATTERBOX IS THE ONLY FORUM THAT ALLOWS IN-POST ADVERTISING

I should make a few more images like this that are non-advertisements.
The Idea behind these images is that even if you can't afford a V for Vendetta costume... you can still put the image in your post and pretend you're talking through V. blaugh

My Plan:

On the day of the 5th... I'm going to make a thread in the Site Feedback requesting V for Vendetta items. Then I'll post to a link to that thread in the guild or in the Event Thread so that the rest of you can find it easy and post in it.

At the same time others will make threads in the same forum or in other forums about relevant topics (they don't have to be about V4V). The main point of this is to show off our cosplays and make an impact on the community that shall never be forgot.

By linking all our threads together from here we can easily support each other's threads. By all posting in the same threads, we will look like an invasion. By posting in several different forums, we ensure that many people and regulars get to see us.

In post advertising isn't allowed... but pictures like this one without a link and with no ad is acceptable. So in those forums it will be good to advertise in our sigs. The week before the 5th it might be a good idea to post a lot in this style as to gather attention to what we're doing.

Rules I hope everyone will follow:

- No hate topics
- No "Gaia is a totalitarian state" threads gonk
- No Anti-2%.... Personally I request that because you can bet you'll only end up with me and others V fans that are Pro 2% upset (I'm neutral personally, but Anti-bashing2%). Spending the 5th arguing in the forums about it will not make anyone happy. It also breaks our unity as an event to have fans argue with each other. I request that if you do make such threads... that you do not link them here. I will heavily regret ever suggesting this idea if it turns into a "Bash the Admins" Event.

One more tiiime! xd Okay, and yes, I totally agree, and I am totally up for linkaging on the first post and stuffzor!

Edit: I would like to commandeer a thread in the Movies forum, because hello, V for Vendetta, amazing movie! I also think I wouldn't have any problems staying on topic, and I doubt they're as rigorous as they are in, say, GD or ED.

Man, that would be epic, though you might want to check the rules about repeats. ^^

Oh that's true. Drat, why is Gaia so ridiculously organized? @_@ Maybe I'll start a V for Vendetta word game in the word games subforum under GD instead. 3nodding
