It brings me great pleasure to announce that The Allied States proudly presents the STAR WARS festival, coming December 11th! The event will kick off next Monday, and keep going until.....well.....until people no longer want to participate in it anymore. We have fun events planned for five days.

There will be a roleplay! There will be Star Wars themed spam games! There will be movie discussions! There will be teams! YES......TEAMS!

Two team captains, #TeamJedi and #TeamSith will face off in a competition within the festival where completing milestones will net your team points and the winning team of the festival will be declared the winner. And what does the winner get exactly? Well for starters, the winning team's logo will be raised in the regional header to claim glory for all time UNLIMITED POWER!!!! Next, all participants of the festival (if you accrue points for your team, you're a participant - we'll get more into this later) will be given an award to their profile. Here's the catch! The style of the award is determined by the winning team. If TeamJedi wins, all participants will get a Yoda styled award, while if TeamSith wins, all participants will get a stormtrooper styled award.

So now that you know what you'll be winning, let's get a little bit into the points system. I'll be keeping a public leaderboard which will track each participants points, as well as each team's total points. I will make a post in a couple days detailing how many points certain activities and actions are worth. Contributing to a discussion will net you points. Having a Star Wars avatar picture will net you points. Participating in the Star Wars roleplay will net you points. And so on...

There will be two team captains. In order to make team rosters fair and balanced, team captains will draft people onto their teams. (At the current time this is how we've decided to do this. It may change when we've had more time to discuss it, however)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: There will be a fangasm and discussion topic for The Last Jedi opened on the day the movie releases. Obviously, it goes without saying, if you do not wish to be spoiled, do not click on the topic until you've seen the film. Don't worry, I will clearly mark the topic title with spoiler warnings.

Looks like fun, are you going to open up a pre registration thread so people can pick their teams? Then that way we can just get started on the 11th.

Yes! We are currently working out the exact details, but yes a registration topic will be opened a day or two before the festival begins.

Okay so here's what's up. The past 24 hours or so me and a few others have been working on finalizing the above icons.

If TeamJedi wins, all participants of the festival will get the Yoda award.
If TeamSith wins, all participants of the festival will get the Stormtrooper award.

The next row shows 6 icons which will become forum emojis! They are BB-8, an X-wing, a TIE fighter, the Millennium Falcon, and two lightsabers!

Reminder, that registration for teams will be on Sunday, December 10th starting at midnight. On Sunday you will be able to choose which team you will be part of for the duration of the festival. After Sunday is over, any participants who have not registered for a team will be assigned a team based on a need for balance and roster size first, then randomly generated after the teams have become balanced in number. In terms of point scoring, it will be simple. Being more of a Star Wars nerd will not be more advantageous. Scoring will be completely based on your participation within the festival, and a public scoreboard will be available which I will update daily.

The festival is quickly approaching, hope to see many of you there!

TONIGHT. MIDNIGHT. TEAM REGISTRATION.

Topic will go live at 12:00 am eastern time and remain open until the following midnight. People may choose which team they will fight for. After the 24 hours has concluded, those who wish to (really, anyone who posts in the festival but hasn't chosen a team yet) may still participate, but will be assigned a team based on roster size first, then randomly generated after the teams become balanced. Reminder that being more of a Star Wars nerd will not be more advantageous than not being a Star Wars nerd. Points are netted solely by participation.

I just realized I haven't mentioned how scoring will work. I should probably do that now... The scoring shall be as follows: each day new topics will be created. Each topic will have a set amount of points assigned to it. Participating in that topic will net you, and your team points. Points will be added one time per participant. Meaning, you can't comment in a topic multiple times to farm points. However, having engaging conversation within the topics is encouraged. Topics will vary from movie discussions, to Star Wars themed spam games, to activities such as creating your own lightsaber, and even a Star Wars roleplay.

The Star Wars festival officially concludes on Sunday December 17th. I have new topics and events planned for the first five days. The final two days will be held open to give people a chance to see The Last Jedi that weekend, which, I've spoken to a few people who are seeing it Saturday. So I feel that's fair to do. The roleplay will continue throughout every day, and topics will remain open for those who wish to go back and discuss old movies, and whatever else. The final score will be tallied on Monday December 18th, where the winning team will claim victory.

Reminder once again, registration opens tonight at midnight eastern time. I will post the topic letting everyone know when it goes live.
