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 2010.
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 - Well, that was very successful if clumsily executed. Thanks a million to everyone who showed up, and apologies if Yorres was asleep when you arrived - we had unexpected New Year's guests and I had to play the friendly host for a little while.

Pics to be posted as soon as I get them cropped and edited! Thanks again and Happy New Year.

Great! Remember: if you can't make it for the start time, it's okay! This event should continue for quite some time. The more people who show up and hang out, the longer it will last!

Zelig and I will try to be in attendance for the after-party, because I'll most likely be at a friend's house at the toll of midnight. I'll get the forest running early that day, and have him idle until I'm able to play.

I have the feeling I really should come, because I epicly missed last year's Lightbringer New Year Festival ... but I won't be able to this year, again. D| I'm so sorry, but we're celebrating it with our dutch friends in The Netherlands and there will most certainly be no computer with TEF installed on.
Yet, I wish you a lot of fun, everyone! x3

Picto and I put our heads

Picto and I put our heads together and decided which of our deer will be attending:

Mini-deer version Dhina and Basil (who will be completely pacified with flowers/candles to not ruin the festivities) Smiling

Basil will probably show up early and then switch to Dhina as it gets closer to the new year.

Great, I should be back home at then. We are on a hill near here and shoot fire crackers. I have two hours to get back and warm myself. It's now -13C but luckily there's no wind. And a full moon is shining! Laughing out loud

Though I already have candlers. ^^'
