Opinions opinions opinions & answers.

Please state your opinion on whether or not you would like the winterball.
For those that weren't here for the other one, pretty much you ask someone to be your date for the winterball thats a member of createblog, then on one set date you go into a aim chat room and we make a topic in the lounge and you just talk to all the dates, then in the end you sign on to createblog and you take votes for the best couple and things like that.


Any questions feel free to ask


If you say no, please explain what you think disadvantages would be.

Yes! Come on guys. This'll be really fun, I promise.

yeah, sure, i guess.
i had a date last time but i didn't go.
it was fun asking people to be my date though.

To whoever chose no, why not?

I feel as though there's no need to make it a poll since having a winterball isn't really disadvantageous.

we are having a winterball right?
i mean, to people who don't want a winterball, they don't have to go?

wait im so lost what do we do in this winter ball thing??

iim voting yes beacuse it sounds fun

yes as much as i post im still a noob. =/

ok i get it thanks.=]

I don't know if were having a winterball, were trying to get opinions on it. I mean if you don't want to go or participate then you don't have to.

-shrugs- Just like any other contest or fun event createblog has. Its just to spark some interest in the community and such.

Anyway, what you do is you ask someone to be your date to the createblog winterball, of course you can go alone I'm sure. Theres a date set for the winterball to happen on, and on that date there will be a AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) or something else for a big chat everyone can participate in. After its over, there will be a topic in the lounge that has things such as the Best Couple, Best attitude, what ever.

Then there will be a thread saying the winners and yea thats about it I'm guessing, theres more people out there that would know more than me on this.

I think it would be cool.
It might get the community to be a little more active.

Ah I just noticed I was the 666 topic made in this section

Well, it would certainly be something out of the ordinary, which I'm sure some people around here are waiting for.

I say sure, why not.

It would be cute...although, in my opinion, I don't think it's really something I'm for

I'm all for it, it's a lot of fun.

I want a date this year

And...if anyone doesn't like the idea, then they don't have to participate. Everyone's happy.

Where's the topic where we look for dates?

I had one last year but I still didn't go.

I will this year.

Sure. It will be fun and it's not something we have alot around here. :-)

ROFL. I remember like I had all these dates last year but like it never even happened.

Personally, I don't think this wouldn't work out. In the past, (I believe it was the spring one?) we set up a date for one of these things and I go in the chat at that time and like.. only the regular chat people are there and it's just.. empty. And I missed another one because I had school.

Haha, I've never done anything like this before... I think it would be really fun! Definitely something out of the ordinary.

Let's have another one. ( That way, I can use chatzilla again. )

I would like to have another Winterball.


I want jose to go with me again. <3

hmmm...

:shifty;

I want it because I missed the one last year.

Maybe it could be more of an ongoing event instead of just a couple of hours in a chatroom, as maybe not everyone is free during that period.

^I missed it too.




But wouldn't it suck if you're online when everyone else is asleep because you're on the other side of earth?

Yeah, we have to set up everything before we have a topic where we can ask for dates. I like the idea of an on going thing, but then that would in result in some people being there, some not. we need to come up with a good time of day to do it. And it'll probably be in a weekend.

If everyone who has replied in this topic comes, we should have a blast! So make sure you all come!!!

I voted yes but i don't have AIM so i wont be going.

..

Yes, I'd like another Winter Ball, I don't see why not.

^

I voted Yes. Last year was fun.
My Date: Michelle&Linda Belle, last year.
hahahaha

If I'm available, I can chaperone.

yea sure, but last year. NO ONE WAS THERE. just me...my date couldnt show. and a few other poeple. it was just another regular day. -sigh-

Well then we need to set it up on a good day that a lot of people can be there, I know the holidays are coming up so I guess we need to do it soon, but not to soon, perhaps when everyone is starting to get out for school?

we'll also have to come up with a special time because, like winnie, she lives on the other side of the world.

It should be like a three-day event so people in different timezones would be able to participate as well.

^If it's a 3-day thing, then people would show little by little.

I say we make it around December 15-20 or something; most kids would be out by then, and around 6:00 Pacific time, which would be 9:00 eastern time. It would be a good time, since nobody's eating dinner or asleep. Maybe a little earlier or later, I dunno. Just a suggestion :]

Well, however many days as long as it's not just one. That would be unfair for others. And yeah, December 15 to 20 sounds good since most people would probably be on vacation already. I know I am.

^oh, you're right. we should probably make a set time for each day though.

Winterball last time was fun, but I didn't get to actually chat. We'd better have it this year!

Okay, well I don't think we should make it for 5 days, maybe over a weekend or something or right before new years when people are starting to come back home from Christmas vacation.

no one goes back to school til Jan 2nd.

Time wise, yes its a little hard but having it at like 6 pacific time and then 9 eastern time sounds like good times, most people stay on pretty late anyway.


Also I suppose were making a topic to comfirm dates and such that you'll be taking or asking someone to the winterball? or does no one really like this idea.

I think everyone likes that idea. I do too.

Can it be a little later (date wise) most people in New York don't get out till like the 23rd.

^like I said, after Christmas and before New years would probably be best?

^ that's actually a really good idea. I'm thinking Dec 29-30? That way, it's in between the holidays, so everybody would be out of school & stuff.

Yeah, that sounds much better.

What a cute idea! I wasn't around much last year, so this'll be interesting to attend.

And I think the 29th or 30th sounds a lot better for people's schedules, since people all over will definitely be on winter break.

^ Dec 29-30 would be a good time.

But 6pm pacific time is 6am here on the china coast time... well, I guess I'll have to try if I'm going...

By the way, if there would be a chat, is it going to be on AIM?
I don't have/use AIM really...

We were thinking AIM for the most part, I don't really know of anything else that is used mostly?

We could look up for a private teen chat room. I used to do that all the time with my schoolfriends when we didn't have AIM. I forgot what the site was called, but it was free & you didn't have to sign up for anything to create a room with the username and password of your choice. The people entering would have to know the username & password to get in.

^ Sounds great! Try and find that for us. In the mean time, we'll probably use AIM. Anyone can always just download it and delete it later. Or you could download an All-in-one messenger like Trillian that combines AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and all those into one.

haha, yes, i almost forgot! i'd love to have another winter ball.
