Hello again, Minna no Anime!
Congrats on getting through Fall Quarter! We hope that everyone has been able to relax despite the current pandemic.
Due to the overwhelming success of our Halloween Party, the officers have decided to host another virtual party during Winter Break. Please see the schedule below for all of the events happening on this Discord server on Tuesday, December 29th. We have chosen this date to allow for sufficient time between Christmas and New Years, as we know that many people are currently with family.
At the beginning of the party, we will have some channels open for people to play Among Us. This is starting to get more popular on our server, so we definitely encourage everyone who is interested to think about participating.
*For the Gaming Tournament, we will be bringing back Skribblio, since it was well-received last time. To sign up for this event, please use this form. You will receive a notification for what round you have been assigned the Sunday before the party.
In order to adapt 20 Questions to a virtual setting, we have made certain alterations. This is an event where one person, which we will refer to as the contestant, is competing against a group. In order to make things fair, we will randomly select the contestants at the time of the event, and they will DM us their item of interest so that the officers in the call are on the same page as them. The guessers will be given the category before the round starts (the topic may be a show, character, or other anime-related thing). There will be a temporary text channel for the event for people to use, and the guessers must work together to find out the contestant’s pick. The singular contestant will win if the group cannot guess the item of interest within 20 questions, but the group wins if they can correctly identify it before then. Depending on people’s interests, the duration of this event may be adjusted.
AMQ, for those who are not aware, is short for Anime Music Quiz. This is a quiz game about anime OSTs hosted on this website. Playing rounds of AMQ is fairly standard within our club, especially during Hangout meetings (gone, but not forgotten). Since we didn’t get to officially reserve any time for it during the Halloween Party, we wanted to dedicate some time towards it during this one. The duration of this event may also be adjusted.
For the rules and Scavenger Hunt list, check out this document. Please DM your submissions to the officers by 6:00 PM on the day of the party so that we can assemble the voting form during dinner. If you have any questions, message an officer for clarification. Since we want this party to be more casual, we will not be offering prizes for events.
We will be taking a break from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM for dinner.
At 8:00 PM, we will begin streaming our movie for the night. We have selected Tokyo Godfathers, as it is a topical piece of media for the holiday season. It will last approximately one and a half hours, so take this into account.
That was a lot of information, but please read the whole announcement and fill out the gaming form if you are interested.
On that note, please make sure to fill out this End of Quarter survey to give us your feedback.
Also, please send appreciation over to Wesley, as he was a big part of organizing/coordinating this whole thing.
