My, how time always flies...

 

It's nearing time once again for the annual Winter Revel! Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a bushy-tailed newcomer, our twice-yearly parties are open to all members of the community and we hope to see each and everyone of you there! Even-- and perhaps especially-- if you've never worked up the chutzpa to introduce yourself to us, this is a wonderful time to enter the fray, make some friends, and generally try to have a jolly good time.

you know, assuming you don't wake up the day of with a fever like someb--

 

This year's Winter Revel will take place on December 19th. The party runs for a full 12 hours to make sure people of all time zones have a chance to get in on the action, but you're welcome to stay for as little or as long as you like! 

And now for the schedule....

 

 

The run-down!

 

Main Events

• Members of the Year Awards
  • Find out who is the Hippest Himbo, who is most likely to take over the world, and who is the Smelliest Auth-- Azery retired y'all, he doesn't count no more. This is a contest. I'm also smelling a lot of competition for "Rookie of the Year".... Everyone is free to vote, and awards will be announced all throughout the party!
  • Categories will be announced on December 12th, and voting will open on December 18th
• Super Secret Swap
  • Secret Santa under a slightly less centralizing name-- this is a physical gift exchange for those in the community who wish to participate. To that end, you must be willing to spend real money, and you must be willing to share your real address. We'll ask participants to post wishlists so there is always an idea of what to get, even if you don't really know the person, and we will be running two rings-- one for the US and one for EU. More details will be announced in a sign-up thread soon. 
• Winter Wondertrade
  • All day, all night, it's the best time of life to put up those 5 IVs, put up those decent shinies, and spread the love! You might just get something spectacular in exchange!

 

Games Galore

• Curses
  • Look, every party I announce something like "we're gonna try to not run curses so much, why don't we try all these other games that aren't curses instead? And then we just end up running extra curses sessions anyway because people want to-- so heck it, this year you get three curses slots, maybe next year we'll just make the entire party curses, who knows! If you aren't familiar, this is the game in which up to eight players take turns asking and answering each other questions, all the while cursing other members with ever-stacking typing quirks, restrictions and oddities that they have to maintain! Drop a curse and you're  o u t! These games always get crazy by the end, so even if you don't play, grab you some of that popcorn, yannowhatimsayin'
• Queen's Game
  • A Reborn Classic! It's 'Truth or Dare', but 'Truth or Truth'! Late night when everyone's drunk off their egg nog, get ready to spill the beans! You don't have to drink to play, but it might be more fun, as this game gets best when it gets wild-- you've been warned. Remember, what happens in Queen's Game stays in Queen's Game
• Lie-Alive Snowdown
  • Two-truths-and-a-lie, the knock out tourney version! In this game of self-expression and discernment, can you lie your way through the competition and reach the top? Or can you sus out the untruths using what you know about the other community members? We'll go round by round and expose the truths from the lies!
• Jack Frost Party Pack
  • Jackbox froze over! The specific games are up in the air for the party's favor, but we're breaking the big guns into the main games this year! As with all Jackbox games, you don't even need the game on steam to play-- just slot the code into your browser or phone and you're in. Get wacky with it, y'all

 

And the Free For All

• We've got the music, we've got the moves, and we've got express interest in all of Cards Against Humanity, the classic Hunger Games, and the s p i c y Among Us coming up to fill out the downtime this year. These events are user-hosted, so they can happen whenever y'all want them to-- but you can bet they'll be happening.

 

 

Mark your advent calendars-- it all goes down on December 19th

Realizing we can no longer nominate Azery for smelliest auth was one of the most earth shattering turning points in my entire life and I'm not yet sure how to emotionally respond to it.

 

Might actually join in on the secret santa this year, though!
