    ... the mice go WILD!

    /random old proverb which totally doesn't fit the situation but is cute and cool and i'm rambling ain't i?

    Now that summer's gone, we need something else to spice things up, and since Black&White are a long way to come here and as usual just HATE the contest board, I'll do something else entirely.

    Soooo... Welcome to the first AIM Contest-related event hosted by me! No, it's not the first contest-related event, jsut the first I've done. Truth be told, I wasn't even supposed to do this meself, little Shock64 and Sec were tasked with this BUT! Since I haven't seen or heard anything from them- I'll just assume they're very busy- I'm gonna take this upon myself and look like a fat jolly out-of-season Santa Claus.

    What will happen:
    • Be online at the time of the event and in the chat I've yet to name
    • Stuff will be given away- good stuff, they tell me
    • Some other stuff will be auctioned
    • A QUIZ! Because I know you guys are looking for one
    • Possibly, also a Festival, if the time allows. The prizes for this are F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S
    • More random stuff if I feel like it.

    That's the gist of it.

    So! I'm not entirely clear on the timeframe yet, but I was thinking to do this next week, possibly around Saturday. What you people think?

    *thanks to Sec and Shock64 for the basics of this event. By reading this, you are agreeing not to misuse the possible rewards, while also negating any and every responsability for any property damage caused by clever appliance of said rewards

    I'd have gone for this week, but I held out maybe just a tiny bit too much for Shock to do it himself. That lazy bum

    Actually DG, me and Shock aren't too extremely busy, we were just trying to find a day when we're BOTH not busy xD It's mostly me that has the problem, since I work weekends, but if you and Shock want to run this without me so that we can get it done then that's ok with me (I know we planned it forever ago). We also have everything VERY specifically outlined already. I have it saved so lemme know if you guys are going to do this while I'm at work and I'll send you the quiz questions, rewards, and all that cool jazz (unless I already sent it to you, I cant remember xD) :3

    you don't know much of how this should work, and if you help you don't get any fancy stuff.

    Also, at your earlier query- there will be mostly Pokeblocks, with a few scarves given for free. Auctions will be for some Pokemon with pre-loaded stats and...

    And saying anymore would spoil the fun. :p

    I'm probably gonna do this around 4 pm GMT, so hope it's alright for you guys
