  • The 25 Days of PC, GT13 Event Volunteering
    Come one, come all... the 13th PokéCommunity Get-Together starts December 1st - 'tis the season!

    Foreword

    The holiday season is approaching fast and this year we're doing something a little different to celebrate the season with everyone! We'll be hosting this year's second Get-Together, a massive event in which the entire community comes together to participate in fun, interactive activities hosted by the community's members, for the community's members. This Get-Together's theme is...

    The 25 Days of PC!
    Come December, each day of the year leading up to December 25th will be host to events created for and by you! We'd love to have content each day of the event! We've already got some fantastic events including a raffle giveaway of prizes including supporter ranks, but for the Get-Together to be successful, we need a whole slew of people operating the activities so that everything runs efficiently - this is where you all come in!

    Volunteering

    This year we'd like for anyone interested in hosting an activity for the Get-Together to post up their suggestion and specify their interest in volunteering. For the purposes of this year's Get-Together, it is preferred that any and all activities end exactly on or before December 24th, but your event may start during any of the three weeks between December 3 - December 24th! We will be scheduling content to be released each day of the event, so even if your event just lasts one day, we'd love to see it included and it can even last up to three weeks!

    If you're interested in suggesting an activity and volunteering to host, please use the form below and post it in this thread.

    Name of Activity (give your activity a creative name to spice things up):
    Length of Activity (can last anywhere from one to three weeks; dates will be assigned to you based on the length of your event at times):
    Description of Activity (give us some insight as to how people can participate, what it will be like in practice, and whether or not there will be judges + winners, or if it's simply participation-based):
    Other Judges Involved (IF your activity involves judging, please specify other users interested in helping you as a judge/host):​

    Activities and events already suggested/slotted:
    Spoiler:


    Remember that just because you post here doesn't mean that your idea is approved - we will be breaking down each activity and deciding whether or not to include it in the Get-Together. If an activity is approved, both the host and co-judges will be notified as soon as we get the planning forum set up and then you can begin planning!

  • Name of Activity: Something something Fandom Quiztravaganza.
    Length of Activity: The whole 3 weeks I suppose.
    Description of Activity: Just like the fandom trivia stumper that me and megan held at the last gt. The only difference is it'll be bigger and even more stumpier. And maybe have some christmas based questions? Maybe? I don't yet know.
    Other Judges Involved: None really needed, but if someone else really wants to help out I guess maybe one other person to come up with questions?

    Name of Activity: Pokemon Hunt (two variants; Wild Hunt, Egg Hunt)
    Length of Activity: at least 7-10 days (depending if it's well received)
    Description of Activity:
    • The host requests daily 'Wanted Pokemon'.
    • The 'Wanted Pokemon' can be a hatched Pokemon or a wild Pokemon with added prerequisites, including but not limited to, Shiny, nearest-IV total, caught location, etc.. Please note that, Hunt isn't limited to the core games.
    • I'll be calculating the participants' points daily. They are rated under this simple method, the fastest hunter to complete a task on that day gets 30Pts, 1st runner-up gets 15Pts, 2nd runner-up gets 7Pts. The three participants with highest total points on the final day are automatically the winners.

    We're working through the ideas at the moment, so people are slowly being added to the Event Organisers subgroup.

    Name of Activity (give your activity a creative name to spice things up): Secret Santa Egg Swap
    Spoiler:

    Sorry, we already have one egg swap event! We might not have room for another, especially not one that lasts for the entire/most of the GT. :(

  • Love these submissions, everyone. We'll be finalizing events this week and if your event is accepted, you'll see the EO tab by your name and be able to begin planning! We've got a handful left to review, but should be done soon (so if you've got any last minute event ideas, pop 'em in now)!
