Not sure how well-written this one is because I'm tired. Input appreciated.
It's that time again. Once more the annual PokéCommunity Get-Together is upon us - a little later this year, coinciding with our forum's anniversary. As always, we staff can't do this alone and are asking for you guys to help us out by signing up to be event organisers and host the various events that will make up this year's Get-Together.
This year's Get-Together will be running from October 9 until October 23.
If you're interested in being an Event Organiser, simply comment in this thread to register interest and let us know what event(s) you'd like to run and GT management will review it. You can also ask any questions you have here, or direct them to myself, Arcaneum or Fairy. We'll be accepting submissions until September 11.
Use the following format to submit your event.
So... what's the Get-Together?
The Get-Together is a long running and annual event we run on the forums. It's a purely online thing, named for people across the different parts of the community coming together and interacting in a bunch of fun events rather than for physical proximity. The Get-Together has taken many forms over the years, but the most recent incarnations have typically been competitions between two or more big teams with points being earned through participating in the different GT events. Typically, each Get-Together will have its own theme, story and lore to go along with it to add to the fun - more on that below.This year's Get-Together will be running from October 9 until October 23.
The Theme
This year's theming is diving into a few different sources - Halloween, the Day of the Dead, Anniversaries and the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. You can read more about it right here:There is a special time for the PokéCommunity. Every 19 years, on the anniversary of the PokéCommunity's formation, the barrier between the world of the spirits and the mortal realm is at its thinnest. It is only during this time that people can pass from one side to the other. It is only during this time that higher beings can reach beyond the veil and impart their blessings upon us.
Of course, such blessings are not free and these entities will not give such boons if enough spirits do not pass into their waiting grasp. Furthermore, not everyone wishes for the same blessings and only so much can pass through the barrier, even at this time. So it was that a festival was established - the Get-Together, where mortals can ask for blessings and give themselves to the world of spirits to obtain them.
Every 19 years, the clans of PokéCommunity compete for the honour of having some of their membership ascend to join the spirits and beseech their deity for its blessings. The Shackled Arqueros ask for the wrongs of the past to be righted, while the Shadowed Guerreros ask for good fortune in the future. Neither will concede to the other. So it is that the competition begins anew as a new Get-Together is upon us.
Where do you come in?
The Get-Together itself is composed of many small events and participating in those events earns points for the team you are placed in. But, those events need people to run them. What events are run changes every year, although there are certain things that have become staples. Really what it comes down to is what you guys want to run. We're looking for a good mix of longform events that last throughout the GT (Pokémon or gaming tournaments, writing or RP events etc) and shortform stuff that can run daily or every few days (Jackbox, Pictionary etc).If you're interested in being an Event Organiser, simply comment in this thread to register interest and let us know what event(s) you'd like to run and GT management will review it. You can also ask any questions you have here, or direct them to myself, Arcaneum or Fairy. We'll be accepting submissions until September 11.
