Making A TEF Monument: Need YOUR help!

- It's been decided Sunday may not be such a good day to do this. For now the Date and Time is undecided and the Monument is on hold. I still want to do this but it just needs to be pushed back a bit.

- Updated: Where Will We Meet?
- Updated: How Will You Identify Me?
- It has been decided that you don’t have to come as a Nameless Deer. Instead just come with No Sets (meaning no pelts/antlers/masks). I can just turn Player Identification off. : )

What you can do to help:
(Before the event.)
- Spread the word if you like this idea. I’d like at least 5 - 10 Nameless Deer for the screenshots.
- Make suggestions! Where do /you/ think we should take screenshots? What poses should we have the Nameless Deer do?
- Have a really good computer that doesn’t lag /too/ much with big events? I will need a backup screenshot taker. I’m not on the best computer so if this really takes off there might be too many people around for me to even move. o-0; I’ll need to be able to keep in touch with you. Either here on the site where we can talk back and forth or on MSN. This is just a “back up plan” to make sure we get those screenies. :- ) Let me know if you're interested in being the "backup screenshot taker".
(After the event.)
- Let us know you were there! : )
- Using the screenshots we provide you can make your own “Thank You Monument” tribute! They will be added or linked to. They would be appreciated!

===============================

Hello, all!

I’ve been really enjoying the community site and as always I enjoy TEF game. : ) And I’ve been thinking about the first time I entered The Endless Forest as an Nameless Deer. I remember messing around with the buttons, just trying to figure things out, and ended up bellowing/mooing.
It was then some Named Deer came up to me and started interacting with me. They got me to prance around and lead me around the forest. I remember they got some flowers on their antlers before putting them on me. I was rather amazed by that, I remember. Lol Then they showed me about the mushrooms and pinecones. And I remember I was rather sad when they had to go. It was all very magical for me, especially because we communicated by body language and did not speak.
That first day in the forest had a big impact on me. It made me eager to get my own pictogram name. I always wanted to thank that nice deer but I could never remember who they were. Who knows, I might even be friends with them now. : ) YOU might even be friends with that person who taught you or that you taught and not even know it!
So I’ve decided that I would do a little monument for all those deer out there that helped out Nameless Deer and Fawns played by new would be TEF players.

But I need YOUR help. What I have in mind is to get a bunch of players to log in as Nameless Deer and I would like to get a screen shot of them all together to alter into a monument. Once I have it posted up I will also offer up the screenshots I take to all of you to make your own altered tribute and I will add them also to the post with who made it tagged beneath it.

When Will We Do This?: Next Sunday July 11, 2010. About 2:00PM Est.
I figure a week would be enough time to get the word out. : )
The time might change! I understand that not everyone is from America. So let me know what country or(if American) state you’re from and what the best time for YOU would be. I’ll /try/ to set a time that would get the most people on.

Where Will We Meet?:
We’ll meet at the Playground rocks but we might move other places after to get more scenes. : ) Places I’m thinking…
- Red Hill
- Lake
- Offer any suggestions you’d like!

How Will You Identify Me?:
I will be on my deer Atuutluk so you can easily see me and I can place deer where they need to be for the screenshots.
- If I bellow/moo and rear I’m trying to get EVERYONE’s attention to start getting screenshots. So please no one bellow/moo. But you’re welcome to play together until it’s time to take screenshots.
- To place you I will scratch/paw/stomp the ground in front of you and then to the place I want you to be.
- If I bow I'd like for all of you to bow.
- If I spin completely around then nod I’m asking you all to build a circle. If need be I’ll place deer myself. : )
- I’ll add more explaining my actions for this event if I find a reason to.

Other Deer:
I ask that if you want to help and be in the screenshots please only show up as a Nameless Deer. If you want to come and take your own screenshots I ask that you try not to get between Atuutluk(Me) and the Nameless Deer so I can get good screenshots. Also, if your not showing up as a Nameless Deer to please only come with NO SETs. This way if you /do/ wander in some shots you still match the other deer.
I understand some people do not log into the community site and wont know what’s going on. We’ll just have to work around them. : ) So please do not be unfriendly to them.

===

Do YOU have any questions or suggestions? Please let me know!

Also, if this has been done before please let me know! And show me a link, I’d like to see it. : ) I haven’t seen anything but if there is it’d be kinda silly to do it again. X- D
I’d really like to do this as a “Thank You Monument” if it hasn‘t been done yet. Thank you, everyone. <3

Bump for you. However, I

Bump for you.
However, I believe logging out may still be glitched; I heard once that people often see you with your picto still. That might be fixed, though. ^^
If I remember, I might be able to attend. :3

The world is quiet here.
Happy Spring!

Thank you. ^^

Thank you. ^^<3

Hmm... If that's true it might be best to just do it logged in but have everyone without a Set... They still have that God Picto glitch. I see them all the time. Hm.

If I'm not busy when it goes on I would love to participate. I'll keep checking to see what we decide.

If they have glitched pictos, just turn off player identification for the screenshots. xD Simple.
I will try to come! So epic.

I'll try to come, most likely

I'll try to come, most likely wont be there though (T-T)

Thank you, all. I hope to see

Thank you, all. I hope to see you there. :3

Ammy: I never thought of that! Great idea. If I do that people wont have to come on Nameless Deer. They'd just need to come without any Sets. Aka default pelts/antlers/faces. Thank you. :3 I'm so silly not to have thought of it. X- D

Edit:
If you all know what would be the best time for YOU let me know! I'll try to set the time around the majority of people that are interested in attending! Be sure to add your time zone so I can figure it out compared to my own.

Me comes! just... i think that a very, VERY big circle (and other circles in ^^) with one of them standing up and others bowing (like sad) must be REALLY A GOOD POSE! XD

Katara's just saying, but i think it's a bit good idea... ~katrah~
I have my spellcode saved for the event!

Just follow me!

I hope so too! There's a possibility I won't be able to make it tomorrow since I'm going on a day trip. ): But I wish you all good luck anyway.
PrairieWolf's picture

I hope too. But who knows?

I hope too. But who knows? I'd just be happy if at the very least 5 people show. : ) I just want some decent screenies to work with. X- D

I'm wondering if we should

I'm wondering if we should put this off until Monday if it's still raining In Game. Or if we should go ahead and take the screenies in the rain anyway. What is all your thoughts?

Maybe....I can't make it

Maybe....I can't make it Sunday... Maybe more people would be freed up on monday? i don't know...

PrairieWolf's picture

Hmm... Maybe. Though with it

Hmm... Maybe. Though with it being Monday people might work or have class. Maybe I should move it to later in the day if I do Monday. If, of course, the TEF Rain has stopped by then.

I think the rain might last

I think the rain might last the rest of the week and I have the itchy feeling that after rain we may get something else... Where's a universal free-day when you......OMG! I have an Idea!

Edit: Can you use the time prior to When Gatherings of Small animals Return? http://endlessforest.org/community/attention-all-deer-july-31-2010-3pm-est-when-gatherings-small-animals-return#new

it seems to be a good time period and maybe if the monument was done before or after....?

PrairieWolf's picture

That might be a good idea...

That might be a good idea...

After wouldn't be good, I think. Because people would still be all hyped up and having fun as little critters... And before people will probably be getting their small animal forms...

Maybe we could try that Thursday before the "When Gatherings of Small animals Return"?

I don't know... I'm starting to think trying to do this was a bad idea. I'm not too good at organizing events. :/

Edit:
Not that I've ever tried to do an event before. >.>; I just kinda wanted to get a few people together for some screenshots. Heh.

Yea you'd need to pusdh the

Yea you'd need to pusdh the date a bit farther back

Good causes fall softly T-T

Ok, I'm just going to editted to be the date and time as Undecided... I don't think tomorrows going to be a good day. Blah.
I'll try to figure something out.

Well okay then, I guess. Me

Well okay then, I guess. Me either...hey, you've got time 0_- go nuts

PrairieWolf's picture

Blah. I might have time but

Blah. I might have time but other people might get annoyed. I don't want to discourage people from attending for the screenshots because of my indecisions.

Good point. So no date

Good point. So no date change, right?

PrairieWolf's picture

I think it's best to just not

I think it's best to just not have it Sunday... Quite a few people did say they weren't sure they could make it...

Of course, anyone's welcome to suggest dates and times. Maybe I could put any/all suggestions into a poll? And people could vote on what they think would be the best time and day? That way the majorty would be able to attend...

Okay, it's just a bad day

Okay, it's just a bad day then, I guess
