PC: Get-Together 2024

[Explorer of Time]

Hello! I am here for the challenges event of course ✨ the Olympics sound like a great occasion to try the save swap challenge again!

I can help co-host this challenge, if you want.

 

[Arcaneum]

I can probably do some Jackbox.

GP I can host some Pictionary if you want to lessen the burden on yourself (I almost got scared that no one remembered but good thing you did).

I'll also do the VGM Sharing (revamped) again if no one else minds. I checked and last year I had people try to identify 100 songs and rank 50 so yeah I've learned my lesson.

Can also do Jackbox if you guys want to share burden.

Yes please thank you both so much

I can co-host the glam event if you want to!

Yes that would be great, always love to have you!

I'm hoping to host a long term Archipelago event, in a team versus team format. Would run from the beginning to the end of GT (or whenever a team wins). I have made some specific implementations for archipelago to work with GT, that I have already tested.

[ Archipelago - Magma V Aqua ] would likely be the final name of the event.

Shouldn't matter how many people are on each team, it should be fair regardless.

Hi, this will be one hectic month for me, hopefully more time next month... I'd like to do something relatively easier to organize as my first.
An event I thought would be great to try things out is a Pokemon GO event:
- Longform event: Participants sign up with a screenshot of their profile page, points are calculated from the change of numbers between the start and end of the event: distance walked and pokemon caught
- Daily event: A Pokemon is chosen at random, participants can earn personal points by catching the biggest/smallest/heaviest/lightest of that species during that day.
- Achievements: Team points given for meeting thresholds: x km walked, x pokemon caught, x exp earned, x pokestops spun, taking part every day.

I've never done an event before so this'll be a test run.
I'm also willing to help with other events that require minimal attention during the GT but somehow noone else is willing to organize, I have a few of these on my list so may make another post later

I would say rather than keeping walking/catching Pokémon, it will be better if it done on Go battle League. Because walking is not possible for people who live in adverse weather, like here where weather is still over 40°C, and soon will be followed by monsoon. Hence going out will be luck-based.

Unfortunately PoGo does not allow players to challenge eachother to a battle, unless they're close to eachother or have been friends for a long time.

As for giving challenges like play x battles against random trainers, I personally find that to be less interesting. Besides, walking to catch Pokemon is more of what PoGo is supposed to be like.

I can add an extra achievement for battling, but it wont be the main focus of this event.

Where will this be axactly?

Where will this be axactly?

The events will be posted here on Pokecommunity, but its advised to also join the discord channel, as that is the best way to connect with your team members and receive notifications on what exactly has to be done on a specific day. Its easy to get lost on the forums and some events need cooperation.

You are senior here, so you can decide the things better than me.


I consider Pokémon games more for battles, hence thought to give that info. Although I do agree with you that most people who play Pokémon GO don't enjoy battles as it requires certain amount of planning, and naturally most are collectors.

Just to confirm I plan on hosting an E&M event again this year.

If no separate A&M event happens then I can add in questions from that as well as all the usual categories 😊

As a trivia thing?

Yeah e&m trivia as usual! I didn't notice anyone planning a separate a&m one this year but maybe I missed it

 

[gimmepie]

Spoiler:

I would like to run Pokemon Trivia, Video Game Trivia and the Writing Competition with similar rules to last year if possible.

Gonna host Gartic and possibly the FF14 glam event if no one else will do it.

(prolly no Jack in the Box this year for me, sorry!)

Plans to run the same events as last year.

1. Mind Read the Room. Answer some Pokemon-related questions. Earn points based on how you think others answered.

May not have as many questions as last year. Becomes harder and harder to think up questions every year. Should be able to pull together one round, at minimum.

2. PokeCommunity Stadium 2. Asks players to create a team of Pokemon Stadium 2 rental Pokemon. Pits these teams against trainers from Pokemon Stadium 2. Will not let players battle the trainers directly, however. Selects all the moves semi-randomly. Carries out the battles in Pokemon Showdown. Does not require the players to use Pokemon Showdown at all.
______

Should actually be available, barring any more unforeseen surprises.

I wouldn't mind helping with the art swap this year! And I'd also like to be a judge if we end up doing any art contests! Also, don't know if this should be put in this thread or not, but i plan on maybe doing some of the art streams in the discord if I have time for them.

Damn, has it been a year already? >_<

I would be up for taking Pokémon Movie Night and Egg Swap again.

I think the latter will be quiet based on last year, but if we run it as a slow burn through the whole GT we should get some participation. Plus, I'd actually be able to join this time!

I will host 1) Bingo again, and I am reworking Escape Room into a different form of game, but it'll retain the puzzles and riddles and stuff - calling it 2) The Hideout for now. I hope the changes somewhat alleviate the issue of teams needing me to be online for them to make progress :)

I'll get back to you about VGT in terms of co-hosting; Pokémon Trivia preparation is kinda already underway between myself and 5qwerty, so just confirming what is happening there!

I can co-host the glam event if you want to!

---

In terms of events I'm planning on hosting:

Video Games Trivia
Video Games Music Trivia
Pokémon Trivia (with 5qwerty)
Create-a-Pokémon (ideally want 2 people to help with this one, primarily as judges but also themes etc!)
Jackbox (a co-host would be nice to help cover timezones)
DJ Battles

I'll host the arcade event.

Hi, hope everyone is doing well.

Is it ok to add the speed art and pokemon unite events this year?

Hello! I am here for the challenges event of course ✨ the Olympics sound like a great occasion to try the save swap challenge again!

If nobody else is planning on hosting it I'd like to try hosting a Create a custom Pokemon TCG card event. I don't see it mentioned (yet).
Fairy hosted it a couple years ago and I quite liked doing it. Main difference(s) will be actual judge(s) instead of a public vote and I'm gonna emphasize the word 'custom'.
Could potentially do the judging by myself (as Serebii has a TCG dex for the sake of comparing move damage/hp etc.), but would like 1 or 2 co-hosts/co-judges if possible.

Was also contemplating an art based game where I provide a starting image and 5 or 7 empty areas and people would have 48 hours to draw a panel for a short Pokemon themed comic page. There seem to already be a bunch of art events though so if there's too many I'm leaving that out.

GP I can host some Pictionary if you want to lessen the burden on yourself (I almost got scared that no one remembered but good thing you did).

I'll also do the VGM Sharing (revamped) again if no one else minds. I checked and last year I had people try to identify 100 songs and rank 50 so yeah I've learned my lesson.

Can also do Jackbox if you guys want to share burden.

I'll host the Battle Bash again (battling tournament with team-building formats weighted a bit more than random battles). Could also split up the team-building and random formats into separate events, but I'd be concerned about the former being too inactive. I'm also open to co-hosts!

I can help co-host this challenge, if you want.

I'm hoping to host a long term Archipelago event, in a team versus team format. Would run from the beginning to the end of GT (or whenever a team wins). I have made some specific implementations for archipelago to work with GT, that I have already tested.

Okay, everyone hosting an event should now have access to the Event Organiser forum. Make sure you read the pinned threads before getting started!
