I.O's 5th Birthday Celebrations!

[PuNk! ™]

So what do you people think we should do for I.O's birthday this year? It's certainly a milestone (five years) and I feel we should celebrate the moment. I'm open to all ideas and whatever seems most popular, I'm sure we could try doing it.

If you have your own unique ideas, then please post below with your thoughts and we'll discuss it.

This is silly, but what about we all set a day, make an announcement, all that jazz, and do some kind of big Skype or VOIP-Chat session with everyone willing to take part. Not as the main event, but just for fun. That way we could all actually talk to each other instead of sporadic c-box conversations.

Everyone who participates gets 100cp.... Whaaaaaaaaa?

Giving everyone 100 cp sounds like a great idea. (But it'd just be used in a battle/series of battles.)

And perhaps we could have a movie night, where we pick a WWII movie and watch it together?

I like Mac's idea.

I would soooooo do that, and we could use skype to talk to each other instead of typing.

Well, everyone else has already said everything I would have said. Though just to add something, perhaps we could do a prize drawing?


P.S. I had to choose the second option in the poll.

...Let them eat cake.

There's some really interesting ideas floating about here, thanks for all the feedback everyone and keep it coming. I'm looking to do something real special in the lead-up and during Issuing Order's birthday, so hearing back from you guys with what you would like to happen is fantastic.

At the moment the general census I'm getting by looking at the poll and individual suggestions is to have something role play orientated and celebration on a forum wide scale. Rather than individual give-aways.

Only real criticism at this stage I have, is in reserve to the "watching a movie together" that a few members have adhered too. Understandably Issuing Orders is a global base at it's core and I don't think it would be smoothly negotiable to create a ground-zero activity point that would best suit everyone to be online at once. I know for one that my schedule is sporadic and the same applies for a majority of everyone else here...

Instead of a mass gathering at one time, perhaps members logging on during the birthday period (we could span this a couple or few days long) for the birthday celebrations, get an extra special reward for being here to celebrate? Feel free to suggest more ideas on what this extra special celebration could be, but I'm already loving some of the ideas floating around.
