Title: Elements annual reunion day
Post by: Blacksmith on March 08, 2018, 11:50:01 pm
Elements reunion day will happen 10# may every year. Same as Elements birtday.


I've been thinking about this for like a year and want to put it out there.

We really should have more special days. We do have elements annual birthday but that's pretty much it. There should be a pvp day where people that are interested in pvp 1 or 2 play. Like once every week/month/ or hour of day. To gather up the people that actually wants to pvp, because now it takes forever to find someone.

We also really should have a Annual reunion day when all active and none active members meet up in chat for a 24 hour period. Just for fun and chatting. A lot of none active or semi active people pops in in chat every now and then just to check things. But it's a lot more fun if there's actually some activity in chat and someone you know from way back also is there. It could be a fun way to meet up with people you otherwise would never see, maybe perhaps even never again.

My tip is to have this day the same day as Elements birthday or the same day as war applications are taken. It's a good way to lure some oldies to join. But it's really up to the council to choose something like this.

And the easiest way to market this is to send pm's like 2-3 times before it happens. 1 month before, 1 week before and the say day, or even 6 months before. Also post in newsletter and facebook. But really the most important thing is to talk to community members who aren't active anymore. I know a lot of people who talk with unactive members outside of this forum.

This should be mandatory. You either show up, or we send an assassin after you.

I agree, this could be neat. Though, it's getting everyone together...

I think she means contacting everyone about it might be tricky.

That's what the Social Network Manager position will be for... as soon as we get the hiring up for it ;)

It will. But if people talk with all the people they know about this, they might in turn talk to the people they know etc etc. So considering we can pick any date we want, we got all the time we need to spread the word to a lot of people.

I put a pool up so council can see how much we want this.

Very much so. Apparently he logged in on March 1st but afaik Council has heard anything from him and he hasn't done anything with the Social Networks in about a year. We're working on reworking the position a bit, adding additional responsibilities so it has a more integral role in the community.

This is a cool idea but umm how would you get the inactive members?

Ping @everyone.

Cool idea, have no idea how to perform it. Also, not all members have good synergy between each other. It might become just one of those family reunion parties, where everyone's dissing people who shouldn't be dissed and stuff, and then no one wants to do another one.

So how to get everyone together.

1: Send pm to everyone on forum a few months before. This will reach out to all active and semi active people.
2: Everyone talks to people that are inactive they know. They in turn talk to the people they know. That can reach to a lot of people.
3: Facebook.

Even if we don't get all the old members it would be cool to see more than 10 people in chat at the same time. We do have a 100 people visiting this site everyday, if we got all of those to join in chat it would be active again. If only just for a day.

And you're right some members disslikes each other, but those are a minority. I don't think that would be a huge problem and even if it would be, we can just decide not to have another one.

EtG was part of my life, in some varying degree, for about 7 years. That's kind of astonishing. I can stop playing, and I can very nearly stop posting, but I can't just let go.

I am a mod to the Subreddit. We have 200 subscribers. When we get this in motion i can pin it to get some more views. I know a few vets frequent it that are not seen in blab.

I have no record of this suggestion being presented directly to Council at any point. Please forum PM the entirety of Council for such suggestions whenever possible.

Discussion on this will be opened.

Fair point. I admit I was a bit harsh in my initial post. And will do.  :sillyspin:

Linked here from /r/elementsthegame, (https://www.reddit.com/r/ElementsTheGame/comments/bdlfxe/elements_annual_reunion_day_is_may_10th) could someone update the opening post to say May 10th has been designated such?

This is just a friendly reminder that tomorrow Friday May 10th is the Elements Reunion Day! Please come to the blab chat to see many friends and acquaintances.



Posting a bump in this topic should some people have not received the PM message that was sent to everyone on the forum.


Also a side note for those that did receive multiple PMs about it, out apologies on this. We are aware of the issue and will have our more tech friendly admins look into it so that it does not happen again next year when we send reminders for next years reunion.


Cheers to everyone, and we look forward to seeing you at the reunion!

The day has come and the reunion is today. A lot of people are in chat already, but not much is going on. People who only returned for the reunion might be disappointed if nothing interesting happens in chat.

To avoid them leaving in disappointment, I have thought of the following ongoing events:

PVP Corner

Challenge the returning giants! Have you ever wondered how good was Antagon in PVP? You might have a chance to find out yourself today. Even if some of them claim to be rusty, it can be a fun experience if they accept. :)

Forum Game Corner

A lot of people will be in chat, so this can be a prime time to try out Chat Mafia.

How about a crime scene investigation? If the right people return for it, we can create a single mystery, which players can attempt to solve in a simplified version of the Witch Game.

Interview Corner

Now is the time to ask the returning veterans or the lurking new players the questions you always wanted them to ask. For this, the people in the Interview Corner can choose one person, who should then be asked a bunch of questions. The answers arrive in real time, so you don't even have to wait.

Discord Corner

Chat is nice, but Elements also has a Discord account, where we can use voice chat to communicate. Have you ever wondered for example how SpikeSpiegel sounds in real life? Well, I have, but I doubt he'll be willing to join Discord. ^^" But if anyone else is up for it, it can be a fun experience.

Additionally, Discord voice chat is also a great place to play Elements-related Skribbl.io with the community.

So this elements reunion day has been pretty successful, even dragging a couple of golden oldies back.

I know it is supposed to go with birthday, but i wonder if having it during war signups is the way to go?
