Welcome to Gaia! ::

Good evening everyone.

The fifth is fast approaching and there are many things that still need to be done. The most impending of all is that we need to get our V themed avatars submitted into the arena by this Sunday to have them viewable on the fifth. For those of you still uncostumed, see Lucca's costume charity thread. If you still have had no luck, contact me and I will see if I can help.

A special thank you to Strike Angel of the Wind for his kind donation for use as a prize, but I am still in need of prizes or gold to buy prizes for this years events. Also, it is time that we start collecting pancake, cola, and deserts for the pancake brunch.

The have been a few suggestions for ways to get our celebration noticed, the best of which was thought up by Riddle-Me-This, who suggested that many of us submit a Guy Fawkes Day VJ video.

Another great idea by Riddle-Me-This is as follows:

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.

This plan has my full approval and I would love to see it implemented, while still following the rules of the Gaia forums. Direct any questions to Riddle-Me-This.

As far as the events for this year's Guy Fawkes Day celebration, I am looking for volunteers to help with the events.

This years schedule of events is as follows:

The Bonfire (Held in the guild) 12 Midnight - 12 Midnight (All Day!)

Pancake Brunch (Held in my home) 9 AM

The March (Held in town, exact location still undecided) 8 PM

*All events will be held on the fifth of November. All times EST

There will be prizes, games, and a continuing storyline throughout the day.

Many people have been asking about the Mysterious Lady in Black. I assure you that she is a friend of the revolution and has been for some time. I owe a great debt of this revolution to her own rebellion. I can tell you no more at this time and maintain her safety.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in this these last two years. It has been a lot of fun for me, and many of you have told me that last year's celebration was the most fun that they have ever had on Gaia. I would love to take the credit for all of this, but so much of it depends on you. Again, thankyou.
