Big Tenth - Planning and Organization for SSSS' Tenth Anniversary
« on: August 10, 2023, 04:59:05 PM »
We have just under twelve weeks until the tenth anniversary of that first intriguing cover page, the beginning of our journey into the Silent World with a handful (or so) of lovable weirdos and the cat they picked up along the way; so, how do we intend to celebrate it?

This thread is where we can throw everything and anything against the wall to see what we want to do; anybody can make suggestions or comment on suggestions. Let's get cracking!

I am happy to report that the mods are discussing events, and I for one am very excited.

Suggestions that I've come up with include an extension of YoinkTober along themes of 10

Be careful what you wish for.
In other news, did you know that the Forum auto-censors certain words?  Why 'ducks' would be your reaction is a biff tad suspect, with that knowledge in hand...

In ages past, there were virtual hang-outs to watch movies together or just chat, as anniversary or New Year's events. 1 November is a Wednesday, though, so probably not a viable date to have such an event.  Just brainstorming a leetle bit.

There is a live-chat channel in the SSSS Discord, which these days has evolved even as we have.  There are some of us who are present in both media.  I can perhaps open a topic in the SSSS discussion channel there, see if there's any appetite for cross-pollination.

(I suspect not, as the visceral denigration of Minna is stronger there.)

I'm pretty sure that the verb you're thinking of is transitive and thus would require an object. Grammar-wise, at the very least. :P

But yes, I remember that feature, as well as my repeatedly making fun of how easy it is to circumvent. (Note that the censor patrols the previews of postings already, so you can see the final result before posting proper.) But I suppose I could "Bert(s)" instead to remove the ambiguity ...

 :sigrun:

It occurs to me that I can set up the Forum's polling feature to get a challenge going, in heats of 1-3 weeks or so (depending on number of nominations), leading to a final boss challenge on the day.
Spoiler: show
I admit I stole this idea off tumblr. Sue me.  Should I run this on tumblr as well?  Considering it.


I pledge that I will assemble and kick-off a favourite character challenge this weekend. I will be including a fairly comprehensive character set, but if there is a *minor* character that you really want to champion, drop me a direct message in the next day or two, don't post it here.

Some other topics that would work for this sort of thing:
Favourite page (specifically SSSS)
How should it have gone? (no abuse)
[open to suggestions...]

Nominations for additional challenges can be posted below, or via direct message to me.

Right-o! We have begun the SSSS Character Smackdown, the first of a series of challenge brackets to take us to the Big 10th Anniversary! 
First off the rank was the Gods & Monsters round, pitting various trolls and other supernatural beings against one another.  Still to come, brackets for the crew, their wider family members, and minor characters!
Bring on the game!

Are we allowed to comment on the smackdown pairs under the poll?

Absolutely! 

In fact, feel free to sling some propaganda for your own choices.

New set of polls has dropped over in the SSSS Character Smackdown child board - face-off of the minor characters!  A simple solution to a simple problem.
