Valentine's Day 2019 Stuff
Yeah. I'll be there, but I was wondering if maybe we should prep for this at all. (It's coming up quick ...) Maybe create a humongous questionaire? (B/C QUESTIONS Y'ALL)
I know that a lot of old CBers will be returning, and not all of us will know each other, though there will be old friends of course. ^^
And then do you think that we should make it a week long celebration, or just the 14th. Not all of us are in the states (Moi, Coco, and maybe Killim? Anybody remember her? Is she still here?), or may be in vastly different time zones, so I feel that there should be enough time for everybody to say hi and read and whatnot. (Though we likely would stick around for a minute anyways, but why not make it officialish?)
Should someone be designated to make the post, so that we don't have multiple threads? Or should we just hang the consequences, and visit all the threads?
So yea.
If there's a lot of people in favor of a questionaire, then I could add them all to this post as people send in suggestibles and whatnot. :)
Please send in all your advice!
My list of ideas thus far for questions to answer, all would be as you want to fill out, none would be required other than names. :)
Introduction, freelance
Description of how you think you would look on the CB
AE descriptions
Captcha descriptions
How 2018 went
How life in general has been
Favorite stuff
Skills
NaNoWriMo brags
etc. Again, further ideas would be loved on. :3
Extra Idea:
Maybe some kind of game played across the site? Maybe a scavenger hunt of some sort?
Or am I getting too excited too soon? XP
@Admins, your ideas are appreciated too, I know you guys have got a busy schedule too, so your reccommendations on how far all of this should go would be wonderful.
I'm getting excited, too, Cho! The reunion date was so far away and now it's so close. I think allowing a week is good. February 14 is on a Thursday, so you all should probably stick to that for the start, then keep checking in for a week or more after that. One thread where people answer items from your suggested questionnaire as they wish sounds like a good idea to me. I'm eager to learn what CB alums are doing these days, what they're studying or how they spend their days. Are you still in Japan? Others may have good ideas for additional threads. Many of you are much more creative than I am. I do think it's a good idea to give it some advance thought.

But I said hi on my thread and tackled you back haha :)
Thanks for your concern, and yes, Hurricane Harvey was last August/early September, (over a year ago now) and Houston was pretty hard hit. They delayed school starting by like three weeks Fortunately my house didn’t get flooded, though our streets did so for a couple days during the storm we couldn’t leave. We had a little roof damage, but were okay. Some of my friends, and so many people in that part of Texas lost their homes...my pals are doing well now though. After we were able to leave our house, my neighbor and I made cookies and gave them to first responders (there were everyday people all the way from like Michigan that brought boats to help people!!!) policemen, and firemen, etc. Obviously with a disaster like that, there’s still people having problems because of it, but honestly everything feels normal now, and places that were repaired from flooding are up, etc it’s been good/normal since the beginning of 2018.

Hello again. Do you like my hat? ;)
I'm in Japan for my dad's job; and it's been awesome. The people are so accommodating, and the food and culture is wonderful. My mom will even make Japanese dishes at home! Last summer we did homemade sushi, and it was sooo good. The weather varies on the region, but most places are nice.
I'm glad to see you again, and can't wait until Valentine's Day! *hugs*

Hi everyone! It's good to see so many returning CBers reunite. Most of you won't know me since I joined early this year but I'm super excited about Valentine's Day 2019.
I made a list of all suggested threads.
- chat thread
- questionnaire (Cho may be running)
- scavenger hunt
- AE chat room
- RPG (maybe a remake of the Warriors RP?)
- Announcing next reunion
- get to know you thread - I added this because the chat thread will probably be more focused on catching up with old friends. The get to know you thread could include whippersnapper CBers more by meeting new people and introducing yourself. (This is just an idea but if you want to include it I can create it)
- Writing/art thread (updates on projects, excerpts and photos, tips, etc)
- SI
- Ski Lodge (catsclaw and Viola? have both volunteered. Maybe they could co-wright)
- CAPTCHA chat/hang out
- AE ball
- CB news/ catchup
- trivia game
- CB hearth
- book recommendation
If I missed anything, let me know.
If you would like to volunteer to "host" a thread (basically just create it) please do so. I'm guessing people who came up with the idea have first pick over of they want to make the thread, but if not anyone can.
Please note this is not a final list and all of these are just ideas.
Also, it's really nice to meet you Cho, Mirax, Owlgirl, Coco and everyone else. Welcome back! *throws confetti*

Thank you so much for making this post, Coroline (and hello!) That was super nice and helpful of you. ^^ I really appreciate it.

Ooh, this is so exciting! Hi, by the way, my name is Marigold!
Maybe we could do a variation on a picturings thread? Where instead of individual picturings it's one big group picture with all the CBers. Everyone could fill out a quick form, and it would be like a class photo!
(December 22, 2018 - 11:34 pm)
Hello, Marigold! (I love your name; it makes me think of Magic For Marigold.) And I aboslutely love the idea! It really got my attention and made me excited. ^^
(December 23, 2018 - 2:28 am)
Thank you so much! I would be happy to put it together and do the art, although it's totally fine if you'd rather put someone else in charge because I'm still a bit new.
(December 27, 2018 - 10:41 pm)
If nobody's volunteered, I'll host CB News.
(December 23, 2018 - 8:20 am)
I haven't seen anybody volunteer, so I think you're good, Gracia!

I don't know if anybody's said this already but probably we should have an Æ chat thread, which can be for everybody but especially for the older Æs who have been gone and will (hopefully) be visiting. And any Æs could chime in, but it would be great for the returning Æs to be able to chat with their friends. And be crazy.
That is, absolutely and completely, seconded by me. I can't help wondering if Zeon is going to visit. *Fingers choker necklace absentmindedly*
I think it's a great idea too.
Oh dear. I don't know.
Aaaand...gosh darn it, I had another idea like three days ago but I forgot what it was. Oh well.
Oh, and Cho, are you and Coco still homeschooled? You had said that you might have to go to public school when you moved to Japan, and I haven't heard anything about it. Just wondering. :)
(December 23, 2018 - 4:30 pm)
Public school has not happened yet (thank goodness, and wow you have a good memory), but I might attend a couple of classes next year but still be homeschooled. ^^

I haven’t been on this thread, but there are some things on this list I could do! Let’s see~
(Bold is my additions, italics is who could be running it) (also my AEs talking)
-chat thread
- questionnaire (Cho may be running)
- scavenger hunt
- AE chat room
- RPG (maybe a remake of the Warriors RP?)-I (Blue) could do this! I think it shouldn’t be in a particular fandom, though, that way it can be open to everyone. I have some ideas :)
- Announcing next reunion
- get to know you thread - I added this because the chat thread will probably be more focused on catching up with old friends. The get to know you thread could include whippersnapper CBers more by meeting new people and introducing yourself. (This is just an idea but if you want to include it I can create it) We could combine this with the questionnaire!
- Writing/art thread (updates on projects, excerpts and photos, tips, etc)
- SI
- Ski Lodge (Catsclaw and Viola? have both volunteered. Maybe they could co-write.)
- CAPTCHA chat/hang out
- AE ball/chat/hangout-Pzun and Cloud (my AEs) could do this! Wait, what? Oh, yeah, cool, cool. Oh, and I have an idea- all the old AEs people had should come back too! Like, better written. That means Drae could come back! Yeah!
- CB news/catchup
- trivia game
- CB hearth
- book recommendation

I know that a big reason why a remake of a Warriors roleplay is because it was the roleplay from my 'generation' of CBers. A lot of new people came in, and that was their first roleplay. I do agree with the idea of something more open to everyone, so that more people can be included. What did you have in mind? (I've got an idea or two ... I wouldn't be able to run one, though, due to all the pen and paper rpgs I'm running and playing in.)
(December 26, 2018 - 8:04 pm)
Could we possibly do two RPs? 'Cause I would definitely love a remake of the Warriors RP!
(December 27, 2018 - 2:35 pm)
Hello, Cho! *hugs* How've you been? Wow, I can't believe it's reunion time already!
Also, can I just say that I love this. I love how everyone is working together so wonderfully to make the reunion as amazing as possible. I love you all more than I can say and I'm just so grateful for us, ya know?
