Hi guys, it's been a while. I'd totally volunteer if I had the time on my hands! Anyway, look forward to seeing what's up.

I could probably post most of the theme days, I think, but it might be best to have multiple possible individuals in mind in case our schedules change nearer the time.

Favourite musical artist day? Favourite animal day? Favourite actor day?

Be proud of your nationality day?
And if someone was squeamish about giving out their country they could just display and Earth avatar or something.

Also, another idea for a theme day might involve initials, in which everyone removes all parts of their screen name but the first letter. And we could all act melodramatically paranoid and pretend everything we say is embedded with "vital information" and randomly say "the world is quite here" and "I didn't know this was a sad occasion."? Sounds like fun. We could call it "volunteer day". And by the way, I'm usually around at 8:00am - 12:00 noon GMT, so I'll be able to post the theme day threads if anyone is busy.

That's great; with three volunteers you guys could take turns or something. Or even just whoever happens to be on at the right time and posts it first posts it; I'll let you work it out. I don't have any preference on the theme days which does do people like the most? How about we write little one paragraph intros for the theme day poster to post for each day, and then when seven have been written then we're done; the ones that people like the most will be the ones that will be written first, just because they'll be more interesting.

So the options we have to choose from are: Initial day/Volunteer day Favourite musical artist day Favourite animal day Favourite actor day Be proud of your nationality day
And there are three open slots.
A note on the "impersonate a 667er day": It might be wise to save the avatars and signatures of the member you're looking to impersonate in advance, as when the day comes they might have changed their profile to impersonate someone else.

And you would have to impersonate someone who had the same number of stars/rank as you did. Other wise it would be easy to guess who it really was.

Since you can always find someone's 'real' name by mousing over their current name, genuine impersonation is never really possible. It is more a matter of acting a part.

Additionally, while matching post ranks might make for a more effective disguise, it might also put limits on creativity. For instance, there is only one other Detriment Deleter on the forum currently.

That seems like a wise course of action, are you planning to send it as soon as possible, or over the weekend?

Perhaps the recipients will find something of their interest. Though what, exactly, is the ball meant to consist of? I remember reading the one for TGG, but don't remember the details.
