Egg Swap IX Planning

[Kip]

I can finally use an X in the name ~ (I'm happier about that than I really should be)
To-do:

• Make new banner - somewhere snowy, maybe. Any ideas?
• Make new signature banner
• Make new emblems
• Update Current Status with yellow sign-up box
• Relocate Imagshack images to Imgur
• [user]Forever[/user] and [user]ForeverKip[/user] need to be put in EO user group.
• Make desktop wallpaper for our five year anniversary :3

Aaaand unless Pokémon Z is announced unexpectedly over the next four weeks, that should be it ~

In December 2010, a small bunch of people got together and swapped
Pokémon eggs for a surprise Christmas present and celebrated a new year.
We never looked back.

Join us for our five year anniversary ~

Welcome, one and all, to PokéCommunity's ninth Great Egg Swap!

How Does it Work?​

1. Breed ONE egg. It can be absolutely anything you like - the more unusual the better!

2. Register your name here. Use the registration form below to register you name and friendcode. It will appear in the scoreboard and you will be assigned a number. You cannot begin swapping until you've got a number.

3. Get swapping! Swap your egg with someone using the standard trade system, then swap that egg with someone else. Keep swapping with as many people as you can.

4. Report it. Once you have completed your swap, post here using the report form detailing who you swapped with.
1 swap = 1 point each.​

Signup Period
Accepting registrations only.
Do not start swapping!

The swap will begin at midnight (EST) on Tuesday 22 December and end at 11:59PM (EST) on Christmas Eve.
Click here to convert to your local timezone.
A banner will be posted - after that, you may start.
The swap is open to all Generation VI games!

You can register all throughout the event, but bear in mind that the sooner you do it the sooner your name gets on the list!

And of course, after it has finished, be sure to post which Pokémon you got!

​

A Few Rules...​

1. Breed ONE egg for this event. Once you have traded that egg, you cannot breed another.

2. Do not switch the egg you receive with any other eggs you happen to have in your game.

3. You may only use one game for the event.

4. DO NOT LET THE EGG HATCH. Trade directly from a box to prevent this from happening.

5. Your swap points will only be counted when both users post to report the swap. If you're unsure on how it works, have a look through last time's thread.



6. Once you have swapped, you may not swap with the same person again until you have both swapped with another person. Try to swap with a variety of people.

7. Avoid trading in circles - it's just the same eggs going around and around. Try waiting for others to come online.

8. Do not deliberately exploit the system to boost your score - (through excluding players, trading pacts, etc.). Anyone caught doing this will be disqualified. If you suspect any player of being in a trading pact or are somehow cheating the system, you can PM the hosts anonymously.

9. NO HACKED EGGS. Do not create an egg that is not legitimately obtainable in the games (e.g. a Mew egg). Anyone caught doing so will be disqualified and referred to a moderator.​

Feel free to post chat along with the report, just make sure the report comes first so we can keep track of your points.

Remember:

Is Pokemon Z is suddenly announced time for a mass panic. Looks good! :)

Is Pokemon Z is suddenly announced time for a mass panic.

I know right - though I bet GameFreak will keep teasing Z and then just go "Psyche! Nothing's happening! Gen VII!" :P But maybe I'm being cynical. Still hyped for Pokémon Go though. :)

Looks good! :)

Thanks ^^b Could I ask a favour and get you to make Forever and our joint account ForeverKip EOs as well? It's so we can both update the scoreboard ~ ForeverKip would be the one actually posting the thread.

I'll pass on the request to an admin :).

How's this going?

How's this going?

As in usergroups or the event? Forever and ForeverKip have been EO'd. :) The event itself is chugging along - I'm designing the banner over the next few days. Am I right in thinking this doesn't have to be posted until the 18th December?
