Lol, OK :biggrin: I do have a few ideas about a Christmas gathering. Maybe I'll post something in the next few days to see what everyone thinks.

Hey everyone :)

It's that time of year again, so I think it's time for another iSketch gathering :)

So far I'm thinking we should just have a user-created room with the Christmas wordlist going around, so that people can draw and/or chat to their heart's content. There will be a fairly long timer to suit both the competitive, quick-drawing people and the more relaxed, precise artists amongst us. Awesome artwork and friendly chat and banter are very welcome :biggrin: Food and drinks will also be provided, it's just that they might not be tangible. Imaginations are certainly required :razz:

I'm working a 51 hour week next week, but mostly UK daytimes, so the choice of day isn't an issue for me, but the times are more limiting for me.
I propose a date of Thursday 22nd December to start, sometime in the UK evening/US afternoon/Aus morning of Friday 23rd. That way it doesn't involve the last weekend before Christmas too much, as I imagine most people would have plans for.

As with any event on iSketch, it's difficult to plan suitable times for everyone to join. If you can't make it for that sort of time, don't worry, I'm hoping that the room will stay open for as long as possible, so that everyone will benefit.

If you have any strong preference for the start day, let me know and I'll try to tweak the date/time a bit. If you can let me know if you'd like to come, can't make it, or whatever I'll obviously try to accommodate everyone. This Christmas party is for everyone's enjoyment, I wouldn't want anyone to miss out :)

As always, of course, any ideas, suggestions, themes and whatever else are always welcome. Hope to see you there! :)

(PS: Was great playing with you all tonight... I lost my connection though and now have to go to bed) xx

It would be nice to see the new wordlist up and running by then.

Just so you guys know, our very own HappyHippo and our good friend LaLizz have submitted a very comprehensive Christmas wordlist to Feedback. Let's hope it's available for our party :)

LMAO!!!! I don't want to be put in Jobe's dreams!!!! I know what goes on in his head :twisted:

I won't ask :biggrin:

I'll drop by if I get some time (and remember of course :razz:)

Don't worry, I'll give you a nudge, you're always on so you shouldn't miss it :xD:

The aforementioned new Christmas list is up and running. Around 1500 puzzles to jingle to, all the way.

Enjoy.

Just for those curious, we had a great turn out, it was loads of fun. Died down at the end and everyone had fun. To those who could not be there from family time, forgetting, or health reasons we wish you a Merry Christmas.

Our prayers go out to clocky as she is terribly sick this week. Hope you get better

Love Arris

I'd like to thank those who were able to join us yesterday, and I hope you all enjoyed it. It was lovely seeing some older forumites, as well as the newer ones and some friends too. I'm hoping to have a New Year Party in the next week or so, so that those who couldn't make it yesterday can hopefully be there :)

Big hugs to Clocky, hope you're feeling better soon hun :)

You're very welcome Rubes :)

I've been thinking recently about the talk about a possible Forum New Year Party on iSketch. I've had my next week's dates in from work so I propose a date and time of:
Tuesday 3rd January at 8pm UK, 3pm East US, 7am Wed 4th East Aus.

The time is different to the Christmas Party in order to encourage and invite those who couldn't make it last time.

Let me know if you can make it :)
