Delighted for you Kol!!!!   

Very scenic morning , everywhere frosted over with the sun glistening. .

Yes. First day I feel can be called wintery instead of autumny.

Including the bloody car, which meant I had to rush aroundthis morning!

Boo to rushing.

My office style chair keeps rising itself up and annoying me

Eat more cake and you'll hold it down

Are you guys still using boards regularly?

I was planning on bringing back the advent calendar next week. Thing is, we often got a few guests coming over from the Christmas forum. Not sure many would register for a new site though, so I was wondering about running it on boards. Be nice to get as many people as possible playing

I did toy with running it across both sites but that's just creating work for myself, plus it would be nice to have all the reactions and chat in the one place

So here or there? What do people think?

Go for it on Boards imo. Forum Games is a ghost town though....

I don't use it much any more, I check Cool Vids & Pics every once in a while and that's about it. My *preference* would be having it here, but if you think you'd get Christmas Forum traffic over there then I could certainly check it out. I'm not boycotting it or anything.

I don't think I've actually done the advent calendar thing before now that I think of it, but happy to give it a shot.

I'm easy either way, I still browse a bit over there, much less than I used to.

It stays down when I sit on it and push the handle, but right back up when I get off, then I'm on my tiptoes to get back onto it

Ah yeah, I'd have to advertise it here!

Thanks - I genuinely don't have a preference, which is why I thought I'd sound people out. To be honest, I'd want everyone here playing as my first priority, but I'm greedy and want more players

So the solution is more sitting and more cake. Like anything in life

I like your solution! My GP has a completely opposite opinion, clearly I should be getting my advice here instead

I post in one thread on Boards now , sorry , two with IAC back on .

@E.N. , would you throw up a feeler post on boards about the Annual Advent Calendar game , see what the feedback is like , then make your decision where to host it ?

Can you put a link to your boards thread here, so i can find it easy over there.

Definitely need a link if you use Boards @E.N.!

Oh, absolutely! If I do decide to use boards I'll do plenty of promo work here, don't worry

I took Wednesday off work and am getting my booster on Thursday which means I'll just have to take that day off as well HUZZAH!!

I'll pimp here in the Christmas forum!

One question a day, all Christmas themed

The first one was like normal sheep. Last year the answers were number based*. This year there's a new format*! But basically a question each morning, PM your answer and a mini reveal each evening. Scores get added up all the way to Christmas eve. Nothing too complicated


*because I can't think of 24 new Christmas sheep questions

The Advent Calendar is brilliant fun !

Father Christmas himself, Loughc, is in anyway!

We need a reality tv thread here, save me going to the darkside to snoop

Looking forward to Advent Calendar (I'll play on boards if that is where we end up - could be a good way to try recruit new blood to invite over here?)

I've been looking for starter pics for an Xmas paint... I'll get a sign up thread up later in the week, do you think people would like (are more likely to attend) a pre Xmas reveal or one after the main event?

Ooooh new paint! I'm in! I think pre, ramp up the excitement.

I got a negative pcr covid test

Yay, a Christmas paint! Santa will probably change into a saxophone along the way.

@E.N. I'm probably gonna close my boards account shortly. I'm not saying you should do the advent calendar here, I'm just asking.. is it even Christmas if I'm not losing my rag at you and accusing you of being a sadist?!

Just something for you to ponder.

Well you're gonna play this year so you'll see. The rage builds with every question. E.N is the nightmare before Christmas.

You know when coming close to Christmas you wake up each morning feeling increasingly excited about the coming festivities!? 
Well advent calendar is where Nitty stomps all over that excitement and makes you wake up every morning with increasing anxiety over what this days unfathomable question will be. 

It's fun, you should play.
