Hello everyone, I will be your captain, Krishna. Everyone must contribute equally and will be evaluated on their activity and behavior individually.

As your Captain, I will assist you in the preparation thread. For now, please discuss what we would like the thread to include!

Typically, a CC thread has three posts.

*Post #1: Information about the festival.
*Post #2: A discussion or entertainment segment
*Post #3: An activity or game

However, there can be more than three posts if you'd like. 😉 Discuss away!

-->>The thread must be done by October 27th, 2015.<<--

Hello... 😳

Okay, it's like 4:30 in the morning while I'm reading this and I have school in a few hours. Imagine the excitement that I can't hold. 🤔😆

Oh! I have a few quick questions:

1. Is there any limit to the length of the posts?
2. Do we have to cite where we get our information from?

Krish, I know why you did this. 😳 Imagine my shock when I realised I became Shivi when I saw a hundred messages.
Anyway, I'm excited. 😆

Hello! This is Proteeti here!

I have already done a bit of background work, which tells me that Halloween is more a day of solemn remembrance for the departed souls than the fun-filled costume parties we see today.
  • Halloween is celebrated on the Eve of the Christian festival of All Hallow's day. It has its origins in the Celtic harvest festivals. It initiates the three day observance of Allhallowtide (remembrance of the departed souls, especially the saints) in a number of countries.
  • According to Wiki, the true essence of the parties and other activities lay in the concept of defeating the grief and despair of death by means of laughter and merriment.
  • The true essence of Halloween lies in defeating the advancing terror of departure for a world unknown to us by defying its deafening laughter by a firm denial of the idea of giving in.
  • On this night, people visit the graveyards where their loved ones lay buried and light candles and bake soul cakes. They believe that the souls of the departed ones come to meet their relatives once a year. Candles are thus lit in every room, to guide the souls to their homes.
  • Earlier, children used to go from house to house asking for treats of soul cakes or fruits. They often asked, "Trick or treat?" implying that they will make mischief and play tricks if they are not given treats. They also had a special song which they sang as they roamed around. Often the 'soulers' (Halloween singers) would be given soul cakes in returns for their prayers for the departed loved ones of the family.
  • On these days, people often dress up like spirits or ghosts, in a more impolite way, and play tricks on each other. The Halloween activities include, apple-bobbing, making jack-o-lanterns, lighting bonfires, playing pranks, visiting haunted places, telling horror stories and watching horror films.

This is all that I made of it now, I'll post more info. after a more detailed reading tomorrow or the day after.

First of all, Welcome to the team. Congrats to everyone for passing the first round.!!!

@Gurleen - There is no specific amount of posts we need but I recommend we stick to 4-5 if we want to add extra posts. If we make it too long, it can be boring for the readers.

@Ana - I don't know what you are talking about!! 😈

@BlackRose - Welcome!!!

@Poteeti - Love the information.


@ Team - What kind of a thread do we want? Ideas? Suggestions?

Of course you don't. 😳

For the game, we can take famous Halloween costumes and tell the people who are participating to put a twist on it, a designing sort of thing. And the other person in the pair can write a one shot based on the changed character in the costume.
Does that make sense?

I have a couple questions for you to get the discussion flowing.

  • Do we want more than 3 posts? If yes, what are you thinking?
  • Ideas for entertainment section? Games? Activity? Comment on eachother's ideas to decide the final outcome.
  • We also need volunteers. The second post on the first page has a list. Check and volunteer. It is always first-come-first-serve.!
  • ColorCode Suggestions would be nice too. We can decide the tag-titles and the thread title when we have our ideas planned out.

I won't contribute a whole lot in the planning because it is your ideas we want. We want you to be discussing. However, I am always here to help and plan details out if needed.

Do you have any questions?
