You heard right ponies, we're planning a christmas even and want to know what you guys think we should do! All ideas will be taken into consideration, but please try to keep things like time and resources in mind! So everypony, what would y'all like to see?
I was thinking of a big live broadcast not only with the DJs but with some guys from the chat aswell. We could sing some christmas songs, chit chat and maybe have a big "2011 Pony Year Review". Maybe also have a quiz with small prizes or something like that. Only problem I see is, that it'd be radio exclusive. We'd also need something for the forums of course
Bobbing for apples! (If you get the joke, you rock) How about the 2011 Pony quiz? Questions ranging on topics from throughout the year, contestants must not do any pre-hand research nor are allowed to look up answers from google. Submit the question form, then ponies reply with their answers, top scorer gets........? [Maybe we could make one of those "forum awards" for the winner] Some sort of code cracking challenge? Codes lead to secret, otherwise inaccessible pages around the site (get there through URL's), the codebreaker gets to a congratulatory page to recieve...? [A different forum award?]
Here's an idea for the forum, But it would take a bunch of code to do. Hide 'easter eggs' (Only something Christmas themed instead) Around the forum, on various pages. Have the amount collected by users tracked Somewhere on their profile page. And then some sort of prize for the people Who collected the most. These should probably be randomly hidden Algorithmically, to prevent people from helping each other Find them, and probably shouldn't appear on the Same page more than once. Ever. There, Christmas event in a nut shell.
I think we should all have a mass session in Forum games. Would be awesome, and many would get NINJA'D!
Flash's idea is coolbeans. Also, fresh from the radio : Christmas readings on the stream. (AppleCore has good ideas too, see?)
Scootaloo: "I'm liking this idea!" Except, for the users being added to the Skype call; I would say hold a little drawing of names, sort of like the one we had for the Secret Santa thing. And the day before we do the broadcast, if it's done, however many names you guys want to pick will be selected and added to the call.
I've already talked to Foxy about tweaking that idea a little. We were thinking whoever solves the quiz first gets to be on air. Maybe the first 2-3 who can solve it. Edit for another idea: Maybe we could hold a christmas fanfiction contest. Let people write their best christmas fics and then put up a vote to decide which is the best, then read that one live on EPR.
Talent show. There I said it. There should be a prize too, so someone has to win the prize money so they can save the school dance. I SMELL A SITCOM
The pony nativity; Scyithe: May the blessings of the Radio Be always upon your life As you have been obedient to The call in being a pony And as you walk away from here Resurrected anew May you know the pony spirit Will always go with you. We pray that EPR will use you In whatever it has for you And your life will be a blessing Through everything you do We pray this day you'll sense Pony In a new, exciting way As you go through your baptism And on through each new day. Then Foxy chucks a glass of water over his head on his webcam.
