[The Red Christmas] Writing Contest - 24th

[Amargaard]

Got a question! Is the 24th considered the day before Christmas, or Christmas Eve itself. In my country we celebrate it the 24th, but you know England celebrates it the 25th :3

 

[Bernkastel]

Screw England.

 

[AIagremm]

Heck yea!

 

[Amargaard]

Then there's whole America who's also the 25th, and the Slavic countries celebrates in january x)

 

[Bernkastel]

If someone has a problem with it I can change it. Otherwise.. I don't care.

 

[Amargaard]

Oh, I'm fine with the 24th - just wanted to point it out ^^

Amargaard, I beg to differ my friend. Slavic countries celebrate on 24,25 and 26, I'm not sure who celebrates in january but I'm a Slav and I'm sure I know mah dates

 

[AIagremm]

You may know your dates, but you don't know how to check previous posts.

 

[Amargaard]

I remember VeljkoM telling me he celebrated the tenth of January, and he's from.... Serbia, I think? They're not really Slavic tho, and I might be confusing things together, as I usually do x)

 

[Deleted member 212788]

No, they are Slavic I believe. I dug into it and I guess some celebrate in december and others in January - that's why there's no more "Father frost" I think is the correct translation in some countries - It's been replaced by December's Santa. And, yeah I know It's already in the before-mentioned posts but I was tired and hyped last night, sue me

 

[Bernkastel]

One more post about that and this thread is gone.

 

[Amargaard]

I'm an atheist ?

 

[AIagremm]

We couldn't know, maybe you are, maybe you're not.

I thought about this contest, and although it's a nice idea, I wanted to ask if we could change the rules a bit?

First of all, I think it's important to state in the first post, that the story must be based on the roleplaying events that have played out all the many days before the release of the entry.
Secondly, I think the deadline should be changed to the 24th - because the 24th is very important to the roleplay we have going on - not letting the actual happenings in the RP thread on the 24th being counted as real lore, would be foolish. I actually believe that this contest should determine the real outcome of the RP, perhaps letting the winning entry be counted as the real story?
Anyways, another good reason for letting deadline being the 24th is that, unlike terraining and drawing, writing doesn't take that long. Of course that depends on the length of the story, but keep in mind that there are no limits on how short the entries must be.

I already forbid cookies and now I must do that? Fine!

 

[Amargaard]

After thinking about this for a while - I might want to change back that rule about the 24th, because if we need to base the story on the roleplaying events, then we can't start writing until the 24th - and that is one day 'till deadline by that time, plus it is also Christmas Eve, so few do actually have time to write here. I don't know what to change it to really - just throwing my thoughts out here
