[Lunaestrella]

Tolkien Week is now over But check back because we might do another one!

Starting on the 2nd of September, and ending on the 8th, we're celebrating a week to remember the amazing author J.R.R Tolkien (NOT Tolkein), most known for his three volume book "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit". His death was on this day, 39 years ago.
Tolkien Week is free for anyone to join, whether you're from the LotR thread, where it started, or not. You don't even need to be a real fan to participate. It's open for everybody so that we can all show our appreciation to Tolkien and have some fun on CS.
This is the planning and discussion thread, where we planned everything about Tolkien Week.
Thanks to polerberr, who came up with almost all the ideas and wrote loads down! Lots of what is on here is copied and pasted from the planning thread, that polerberr wrote

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor. He is the author of "The Lord of the Rings" and creator of the world of Arda. He was born in South Africa on 3rd of January 1892, but when he was three he moved to England with his mother and brother. His father died, and at the age of twelve Tolkien and his brother became orphans.
He fought in the World War I. Many of his friends were killed, but luckily he survived. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the awesome Lord of the Rings! . One of his good friends was C.S. Lewis, who wrote the Chronicles of Narnia. Tolkien wrote the Hobbit for his children, but when he was convinced to publish it, it became so successful that he was asked to write a sequel, which ended up being much more complex and for adults. After his death, his son published the manuscripts of The Simarillion, The Unfinished Tales and others, the history of Middle Earth.

Roleplaying will be done throughout the entire week. We will change our usernames to our character's full name, have our avatars as the character, and speak like the character!
More than one person can be the same character, but maybe there should be one "official" character spot. So there can be five Legolas characters, but one user will be the official character, with the full name as their username and everything else. Maybe there are people who want to rp a character, but don't feel like changing their picture or their name or speaking like that character all day, these people should not ask for official spots.

You don't have to do this to participate in the Tolkien Week, but it's probably going to be loads of fun!

Giveaway Day Threads:

It should be run all day, with three sections: Beginner (For the movies), Fan (LotR books and movies), Ultra fan (All of Tolkien's works)

Beginner Quiz - The mod asks one question, then the first person to answer correctly gets a random pet from the prize pool, people can guess once per question, and if they win they are not allowed to guess until two questions later

Fan quiz - It will work the same way as the Beginners Buiz, but more than one question to answer at the same time. Whoever answers them all right gets the prize.

Ultra fan quiz - One quiz with lots of questions. Everybody can submit answers once, entries are not allowed to be edited unless given permission to minimise cheating (Answers may not be edited, but wording and typos may be fixed, if wished). Winner is whoever answers most correctly and will be given a bunch of the best pets we collected. If any rares were donated, we will give a rare instead.

Dress up Pet Pageant -
Only Tolkien related entries are allowed,
we could have different pageants
(Best Legolas, best Gandalf etc.)

Giveaway Day Mods:

polerberr---> GMT +1
Lunaestrella ---> GMT +1
sugar11 ---> Pacific Time Zone

★Final decision of winners of the previous day (Only for dress up pageant and raffle, quiz prizes should be given on the day)
★Make a signature stamp "I participated in CS Tolkien Week"
★Stream movies.

We need someone who can stream. Post if you think you can stream them. You might need the DVD's or have it on your computer, but polerberr can supply a link to the extended movies if needed. Good quality is preferable. We could do all movies, but that depends. Times are to be worked out. For some people it will be movie morning, for some movie day, for others movie night. Let us know in a post if you would enjoy watching them with us over the Internet (There will be a live chat box beside it) and what times are suitable for you, including your time zone.
