So I saw this (http://www.isketchforum.net/isketch-parties-t1252.html) thread by gracie about an iSketch party.

Maybe we could do something similar for Christmas?

All ideas are welcome :)

I'll bring candy canes :P
I'm in.

I celebrate Christmas... but does anyone around here celebrate Hanukah? Or something else? Just wondering, so denominations would be represented if need be :).

Oh, of course. It can be a festive style party, not just for Christmas, but for other religious festivals such as Hannukah too :)

Shame there's no Hanukkah wordlist ;)

That sounds totally fun! So when we gonna do it?!!!

Shame there's no Hanukkah wordlist ;)

Hmm... well I have made two wordlists before. Then again, how easy is it to find about 1500 Hannukah words?

That sounds totally fun! So when we gonna do it?!!!

If there's enough interest I'll post a list of dates and times so we can choose which day or days to hold the party. I would need to check if I am free as I have upcoming exams :rolleyes:

coolbeans!

It sounds like a great idea :)

-count me in :D-

Yeah I like it!
Can we have eggnog? =)

Can we have eggnog? =)

Eggnog will be provided.
Although a small deposit will be required :razz:

but hmmmm. lol, didnt some isk regshttp://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo177/db1986/Yellow_Heart.jpg try to keep a uc room going for 24 hours? :P we could try that for thisss :D since technically, everyone's holidays (whichever one) starts and ends at diff times depending on where u live...

Sounds like a good idea Jen :)

I will bring the cookies and milk! I'll try not to eat them on the way:x

You can bring whatever you like. All donations are very much appreciated :)

Mmm, food. I might have to hijack an internet connection to get to this party.

I want to bring balloons.

I'll bring the snow cloud, santa, Rudolf, some presents, a tree, and the chimney! oh and,

/me steals eggnog so he can bring it to the party

hmm. so...whos gonna start the room? :P we have to have someone make the room in the first place..i would, if im on then..buttttttt christmas starts first somewhere on the other side of the world... i believe?

but hmmmm. lol, didnt some isk regs try to keep a uc room going for 24 hours? :P we could try that for thisss :D

Maybe we could start on the 16th December and see how long we can keep it open for? :razz:

o m g. so thats why u took so long posting that...freakyyy and phooey, 16th of december i still have school :( i wont be able to help much then.... *sighs* tsk, and why not christmas day? :P

What day do you finish school Jen?
I thought Christmas Day would be spent with family :)
Although having said that we could start early and try to keep it open :)

I'll chose option 3. 2:00 AM? Nobody here is awake at that time!

Anything but Option 2 (Time) is fine with me :)

I'm just going to come on and hope I catch one of those times...

(not likely at 3am... but whatever)

I'm just being fair for everyone and seeing where the majority lies. If that means I'm on iSk at 4am so be it :razz:
If we try to keep it open through us all having different log on times, then hopefully everyone will get a chance to join the party :)
Choose the day and time that you can make :)

Only possible one I can make is option 3. I'm Central. and where's option 5?

Oh sorry for the confusion. I will change the time options to letters to help explain. Choose the possible days from options 1 to 5 and the possible times from options A - D.

All of the dates fit me cos i'm having my holidays, however like Alessadri, I cant make it for option B, theres no way I'm going to get on at 4am....

Option B or C for me.

I like 2, 3, and 4. I don't know about times because it doesn't say Costa Rica, I guess it's one of the U.S.A ones equivalent but I don't know which, but I guess anything late atnight will be good :)

Not Christmas day for me thought, I do prefer to spend that with family lol, not that I don't appreciate you guys :P

I don't know about times because it doesn't say Costa Rica, I guess it's one of the U.S.A ones equivalent but I don't know which...

Costa Rican time is the same as the Central American timezone (UTC-6:00) :smile:

Update: Option 3C seems to fit everyone's liking so far but I'll wait for a few more responses.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo177/db1986/Green_Heart.jpg

Eep! I forgot that time is usually spread over two days :eek:
To clarify, option 3C is:

Wednesday 17 December 18:00 Western USA (UTC-8:00)
Wednesday 17 December 20:00 Central USA (UTC-6:00)
Wednesday 17 December 21:00 Eastern USA (UTC-5:00)
Thursday 18 December 02:00 UK and Ireland (UTC)
Thursday 18 December 07:00 India (UTC+5:00)
Thursday 18 December 11:00 Western Australia (UTC+9:00)
Thursday 18 December 13:00 Eastern Australia (UTC+11:00)

Remember we're just choosing the day that it opens. We can keep the room open for as long as we like :smile:

:( i actually have school probs to the day before christmas eve or on the day of christmas eve. which pretty much sux.
/me goes off to sulk :P

^_^ i'll help as much as i can though :D

3C sounds good to me
Late enough for me to get over my Graduation hangover :P
Bring it

Late enough for me to get over my Graduation hangover :P

Lol, nice. :razz: How did the exams go? I assume you passed them all to be able to graduate :biggrin:

I'll wait for a few more replies before I confirm things :)

Great idea db :)
I can do Option 5, maybe Option 4, but can't really give you a time (apart from saying not D :p). If the room is open and I'm on, I'll pop in :)

I think most people would agree with starting it on the Wednesday/Thursday as per my previous post (http://www.isketchforum.net/showpost.php?p=151206&postcount=31). It will make it 2am in the UK, but I'll make the room and only stay for a little while. We can take turns to keep it going due to different times around the world as long as we keep ops in the room :)

Yeah, I won't be able to make 2am. But if it's going to be open when I am on, I'd love to join in! Any of those dates suit me, I'll be back home after next weekend. (:D)

I can't promise anything... but if I am around I will drop in for a bit :biggrin:

I know it's awkward for the UKers but you can join whenever you like :)
I will start with the Christmas wordlist and I will post the password on my profile in the next few days, so only iSketchforumers can access it. All you have to do is PM the password to someone in the room so they can invite you :)

Thats possibly the worst timing Evuuurr for moi. Keep it opn til Friday evening plz

Thats possibly the worst timing Evuuurr for moi. Keep it opn til Friday evening plz

Aww sorry Lemons. The plan is to keep it open for as long as we can and have as many people as possible at one time so we can all enjoy it :)

Edit:
The confirmed time of this party will be:

Wednesday 17 December 18:00 Western USA (UTC-8:00)
Wednesday 17 December 20:00 Central USA (UTC-6:00)
Wednesday 17 December 21:00 Eastern USA (UTC-5:00)
Thursday 18 December 02:00 UK and Ireland (UTC)
Thursday 18 December 07:00 India (UTC+5:00)
Thursday 18 December 11:00 Western Australia (UTC+9:00)
Thursday 18 December 13:00 Eastern Australia (UTC+11:00)

All you have to do is PM the password to someone already in the room to be given access.
The password is now on my profile.
If you are looking at this post as a guest, then you won't be able to access my profile. So why not create an account with iSketchforum to join in the fun :)

We should try to keep the room open as long as possible so that everyone has a chance to join in, especially us Europeans, seeing as it starts in the middle of the night to them.

Hope to see you there! :razz:

****just in case people havent noticed db's updated post..... there it is above.
cos i understand most forumities dont usually check threads which dont appear on the Today's Posts list, and they forget about them.... so yeahhh! remember the party's tmr & check db's profile for password.

Just another small addition. Festive names are very welcome.
Hope you guys enjoy it :D

Ooh this is soon! Keep it going for as long as poss please :) (i.e. Friday evening :p)

I'm sorry I can't make it tomorrow morning (11am), as I have work :(, and am going out after.....but if it's still running late at night (ie 12 hours after it first opens)- then I'll see if I can pop on for a little while to join the party :). Merry Christmas in advance everyone, and hope you all have fun!

It's good that we have people available all the time and not just for the start, which means the room can hopefully stay open for everyone :)

lol, ok, seriously peoples. where are uu? XD i can only hang out for so long before i've got to go :P i will seriously start forcing people to go on if u dont voluntarily....

The party has started!

And is still underway! C'mon everybody, where the bleddy heck are you?! :razz:

^_^ I'm in there :D I shall hopefully be there for a while :)

hope more ppl come soon....I can't stay too long n me n Sorsie are the only ones there! ><

Strike that...i'm the only one....><

Lololol. Now we have no room operators in the room.. xDDD
Whoops. xD
When someone else comes we'll make new room? :o

:( room's dead?

Make a new one? :D
I'll make one soon if no one else does when my mate goes. I don't wanna be an iSketch nerd too much whilst he's here :P

Sorry...I wish I could have stayed and kept the room going but I had to take my kids to preschool and run some errands and etc etc...

Came to say hi. Was dead. Drew a thrilling picture of a crappy christmas tree which no one saw. GUTTED FOR THEM. why is my eye pulsating plz? xx

Lol Sorry. I was soo busy yesterday So i just kept myself logged on in the room :P
Heh heh...
