!RIGHT NOW - New Year's Eve - Festival of Lights!

December 21, 2008 - 9:31pm — IoRez

Festival FAQ

Can I come?/ Who's invited? - Everyone! Be there!

What is this? - It's a Party! We'll commune around and about the Playground and give candle antlers (candtlers?) to every deer who passes by. Every hour, on the hour, we will all dance in celebration as midnight passes in each time zone. Don't forget to stop by the Twin Gods Hill to pay your respects and celebrate!

When is it?/ What time is that where I live?: The unofficial start will be 11:59PM GMT and will run until people stop showing up sometime in 2009.
Don't think you've missed out if you can't make the start time, as deer from every timezone should be popping in to ring in their respective New Years!

Your Friend,
Io Rez

UPDATE: 12/22 - OMG. I didn't want to say anything about this until I had some confirmation, but I contacted Michael & Auriea via email and they have given a tentative thumbs-up to making it be night time in the forest for the duration of the Festival. Cross your fingers/hooves!

UPDTAE 12/31 - WOW! Did M&A come through or what? Not only is it night in the Forest, but there are also GIANT candles everywhere - including a HUGE candle at the Playground and even a big fat candle inside the Great Oak!
This is Awesome beyond words. Thanks a million to M&A!!! I hope to see everyone having a good time tonight!

Zerg: Chicago start time

Zerg: Chicago start time will be 05:59:00 p.m. Wednesday December 31, 2008

Redkora: omg, I'm sorry. YES, this is the last title change.

Rowan: Yes yes! More than one Lightcreator is needed, bc there is no way I will be able to be seated at my keyboard the entire time. Your assistance in this will be more than appreciated. Thank You!!

Flyra: OH NOES! Why can't you attend? Is it too late or something, or will you not be near a computer? I'm so sorry, and this was all your idea. I will try to take lots of pics for you.

Rinta - the Lightbringers are a bunch of shameless do-gooders who welcome new deer to the Forest. Click the link in my signature for a better explanation.

I'm at my uncle's holiday

I'm at my uncle's holiday house in "Harz", a mountain range in germany, then. <.> And there's no internet. Absolutely not. Only with my dad's IPhone but you can't go online there I think. :< *cries*
otherwise, my parents would kill me when I go online so late when my whole family celebrates. It would be 1 AM for me - much too late, too.
<.>
BUT THANKS that you'd take many screenshots for me. =D That's very nice! *facehugs you*

I'm afraid so. <.> I love being at my uncle's holiday house, and we can go skying there and I haven't done it for years and I love that, but... it's too sad that I'll miss it. ;_;
But... my own gathering... Wowyes. I'd love to do that! I adore the LB "company" and I feel so honoured being part of it.

And I'll do another LB gathering next year, that's a great idea! <333
*glomps you* Have fun! And thanks in advance for the screenshots! 8D
