Hello everyone, I will be your captain, Viz. 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.<<--

Team Members:

This is gonna be your checklist. Please read this carefully. I've tried to explain things in detail. If you still have any doubts do not hesitate to ask.😃 Two of them have not turned up yet, but let's just go ahead and start working. They can pitch in when they do. Cool?
First up you need to decide the number posts you're gonna do and what's going into those posts. I'll compile all the ideas we have so far and we'll vote for the best one. After that is done, the color code needs to finalized. So please suggest colour codes. Pick colours that reflect your theme, ie, Halloween.
Next comes the graphics. Sameera and Trish, do you guys make tags? It won't be a problem if you don't. I'd be glad to make them or ask someone else to.😃 You also need to come up with some unique titles for our sections.
About the write up, we'll need volunteers for that. (You can find a volunteer sheet below) We mostly try to avoid the conversational format of a write up. Like,A: Hi!B: Hey!C: It's Halloween. BOOO!
Also avoid using the texting language or whatever you call it. Eg. I luv Halloween. It s so spooky. The sentences must be properly phrased with grammar and all. The write up must be your own. However you can refer to information on Halloween or on anything you'll be needing.
This is the link to the last year's Halloween thread: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/chat-clubs/4209718/happy-halloween-trick-or-treat(This is only for reference purposes.)
I've also set a deadline for this thread, so we do not lag behind and everything is done on time: 25th Oct.

Also, do you all have FB? We could have a group over there. Let me know what you feel about it. If you're stuck at any point, anywhere, do not hesitate to ask me. I'm here to help you.😃

I can't believe THIS. Whoa, it is really happening. :o Let's do with the pleasantries, shall we? I'm Nishi, from India (GMT 5:30) and I'm currently a member of Flamethrowers, under the captaincy of Viz. 😆 Think its better to know each other, isn't it?

Alright so, here's my official belated entry into the preparation threads. 😆 I went through every single prep thread and I'm very much impressed by the team spirit I see in all of them. Team spirit is a fundamental aspect of CC. 😃

@Team Flamethrowers: ..except you guys. I'm still waiting on the other four to show up. 😳 @Rhapsody: Hey, hopefully you'll be able to start on the thread soon. 😃

First things first, a big congratulation to the applicants that have made it to the second round. I'm just here to remind you guys that your work and your contribution will be evaluated individually. It will not matter to me if your team had the best Halloween thread and it was the one that was made a Global Announcement. A GAed Halloween thread does not guarantee you the CC title.

If you are an individual that likes to merely agree with your team mates, or ask to be assigned work by your Captain, you might not get far after this round. I'm looking for individuals that take the initiative and are constantly suggesting ideas to make the thread as best as it could be. Also, make sure to keep your Captain in the loop! Before you finalize the content of the thread or request for Graphics, get your Captain's approval.

For the applicants that are wondering why there is a group activity this year instead of individual applicants creating a basic thread on their own.. There are two reasons for that.

1) You get a taste of how CC threads are created. This is slightly different because the Captains will be less involved here as we want to see how you guys work. I already know that the Captains are great at what they do. This also ensures that there is less confusion about the operation of the team if you get selected. You'll know what to expect when you come in. So, though it may feel like you're given a large amount of responsibility here, that will reduce in the CC team. 😃

2) I need to see who works best in a team. There's a massive difference between being 'bossy' and being a 'leader'. You have an example of a leader given to you to help you out - your captain. 😃 Don't boss around your team mates but guide them if they require assistance.

Finally, remember that the other four (or three) members in your team want to get into CC just as much as you do. It might happen that your team mates get into CC and you do not. Make sure to try to shine above them and get noticed. If I don't notice you, you aren't trying hard enough.

Good luck, applicants!

PS. If you require my assistance during the creation of the thread, I'm here. Just drop me a PM. If you need me to look at a specific idea or detail, I have no issues doing that. 😃

CC Head,
Jot.

Hiii!!

Sorry I'm late!! And wow seriously i can't believe I made it tho😆

Soo... I'm Trish as my username suggests, and from the US(EST).

Ok, so lets get right to business!!

My ideas:

*Post #1: Information about the festival.

It's a basic post, and this should not be too hard! i think it would be cool if we present the info in a new way. maybe we can somehow present the information in a funny way from the POV of a ghost? Or a jack-o-lantern/The Great Pumpkin (Snoopy)! Just throwing ideas out there!

*Post #2: A discussion or entertainment segment

We can have a cute, funny Halloween story here! Different Halloween references from shows added in! Idk how much Peanuts(Snoopy/Charlie Brown) is watched in other countries, but when I was younger, every Halloween I used to watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"? That why i have all these ideas including them!

*Post #3: An activity or game

-a quiz on popular Halloween references

- a scavenger hunt across the forum with hints. They have to spot the different pieces of candy across the forums, and can post the answers in the thread for fun! This would be cool, but hard to execute!

and guys, we are gonna rock this!😎

and yes Sameera, we should come up with a color theme! Black-red or orange-yellow-red are my wo ideas!

And hahaha we will set the whole of IF on fire with our amazing thread!! Imagine a story from the POV of a flamethrower on our thread😆
