Valentine's D

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.

Hey, Cockle! I've been doing pretty well, I shouldn't complain, anyways. ^^

I feel kinda like I keep acting clueless, but what's an RP? *cringes*

Ahh, sorry, I haven't checked this thread in a while. I can make the CB Hearth if nobody's volunteered yet!

Here is the current list, I believe. I got rid of a couple of duplicates (there was an AE chat thread and the AE ball/chat/hangout, which I thought were pretty much the same thing)

-chat thread

- questionnaire and get to know you(Cho may be running)

- scavenger hunt

- RPG (maybe a remake of the Warriors RP?) (Blue)

- Announcing next reunion

- Writing/art thread (updates on projects, excerpts and photos, tips, etc) 

- SI

- Ski Lodge (Catsclaw and Viola?) 

- CAPTCHA chat/hang out

- AE ball/chat/hangout (Pzun and Cloud) 

- CB news/catchup (Gracia)

- trivia game

- CB hearth (Micearenice)

- book recommendation

Looks good! If we are combining the questionarre and get to know you thread, Cho can host it if she wants.

I was thinking we could also include a CB time capsual so we can remember this day for a long time and it (being the first CB reunion) can go down in history! Here is the original thread:

http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/puddingsplace/node/301079 

The special thing about this is that it would have memories and snippets from generations of CBers, not just current ones. 

If you agree with this idea, I'm happy to host it.

And one last thing, I agree with Cockleburr when she says that we are all working together amazingly. I love you all! <3

Ooo, I like that idea! *has a couple of things she would like to throw in* Please do host it, Coroline!

OOH—I love the idea of a CB time capsule! That’s funny, actually, because several times I’ve thought of making one of those, but I never have. This would be a good time for it I think.

I'm just going to reply now, and clear away all fogginess and say I'm running the Questionaire. I think we should keep chatting and questionaires separate, though, for minimal mess. I do understand why combining them would be nice, and if more people prefer combining them, and do that.

I think we should keep them separate, though they’ll probably end up overlapping a bit anyway. It seems like it would be cleaner that way.

Ookz says ncko! Hey, Neko, looks like you have a fan :P

Oh, I just had a thought for the CB news--some of the CBers joined before Kyngdom even existed. I think we should definitely include a little about Kyngdom on the news!

Great idea, Mice! I totally never thought about that before!

I also think that we should title all of these threads something like "CB Reunion Thread" and then what specifically it is, or do those spread out through the title and the name of who's starting it if something. There are a lot of threads on the CB and we want it to be easy to recognize the ones we create specifically for this. What do you guys think?

Maybe the title could be the actual thread and the location box could say CB reunion (as seen below).

I like the location idea better, because otherwise finding a specific thread might take a while if lots of them are in the same place.

We could put it in our age boxes to make it even easier to see, since the CBer's age shows up on the outside of the thread they make.
