Following the success of the Masked Ball some time ago I have been asked if it is possible to hold another Ball ( ooooooh!!!!) :shock: :shock: :shock:
Everyone seemed to enjoy being someone else last time but the Ball caused a lot of problems for the Moderators. One of the rules of this site is that each person can only have one email address registered. We constantly ban people for breaking that rule and could be seen as hypocritical for allowing the Regulars to do the same thing.
We also received complaints about the Ball spilling out into other parts of the Forum, which was irritating for those that had no wish to take part.
From a Moderators point of view it was difficult to work out which identities should have been deactivated after the Ball and which were Newbies that had happened to join up that weekend.
I am proposing that we have another Masked Ball this coming weekend, but in order to keep everyone happy, some rules are going to have to be adhered to. They are as follows:
The Ball will take place in the Masked Ball thead, and ONLY in the Masked Ball thread. Any “Masked “Posters outside of the thread will be deactivated and that Poster will take no further part in the Ball.
Site Members will be restricted to having one Masked Identity only and this identity must be PM’d to me before they post using that Identity. This is so that I will know which Postings are from established Site Members and which are from the weekends Newbies. This also means that when it comes to de-masking time we will be able to deactivate the necessary accounts.
The Ball will run from the time the GFZ opens on Friday until it closes on Sunday night. Demasking will take place between 8 and 10 on Sunday evening and I will begin deactivating the surplus accounts at 10 o’clock.
We really need your help to make this work. If anyone abuses these rules it will almost certainly mean that we will not be allowed to do anything like this again in the future. Please don’t spoil it for everyone else.
awww no.. we are going away this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am sure this is a conspiracy to stop me playing.......sigh
There were mentions of a theme last time. Anyone suggest any or is it another free-for-all?
I am hoping to take part again, it was fun last time. Could I be as bold as to suggest a SUPERHERO'S ball...? None of the known regular ones like superman etc, all made up ones with new superpowers from within your own ideas?
I like the rules idea about keeping it on ONE area and appreciatethe difficulties it made, but it WAS fun in the end? May we have a theme thrashed out for Friday night so we can all get kitted out and could it please, whatever the theme be stickied for the duration....?
Someone suggested Puppets last time
There are loads to choose from and piccies available for links too:
Puppets...no stings attatched...sex site...?
trust Alexandra to do that one !!!!!!
Anything goes and I think a theme is funny cos we have to think that bit harder...?
every word seems to have some sexual meaning today? I need my analyst...!
Home made super heros sounds excellent to me :lol2:
<<stamps her feet... i wanted to be a superhero!
i think u should be something boring this weekend when i am not here.
noo... be librarians or something! lol
Right the poll is up now, please cast your vote!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
So when are we allowed to register for a temporary nickname?
cheers Neil, I think
so I can be registered as two identities at the same time and thus jump from one to the other I think?
mind you with two machines next to each other two keyboards mice screens etc will that work? please say yes as I can manage that just got to think of additional e mail addy

oooh can I play - I wanna be a superhero
maybe i am a bit dim.. but when i try to log in under two diff nicks.. whatever i do in one is carried on into the other.
hard to explain what i mean.. but if i log into window one as "a".. then log into window two as "b"... when i click back onto window one... as soon as i do anything it changes itself as logged in as "b".
hmmmm even i feel confused reading that.. and i know what i meant1 lol
Well I am going the idiots way abit like YES
I am going to have a bank of keyboards and screens and woofers and tweeters, and mice by the dozen ( well 1/6th of a dozen)
if you going to do something grand and silly do it right my old grannie used to say as she sat polishing the step chewing tobacco, they don't make Grannies like that anymore
