SOLIDARITY MONTHS : July-August 2007

Link | by MiCHiYo^Î¼ on 2007-07-07 22:44:36 (edited 2007-07-29 00:35:43)

Hey everyone! It's me, Michiyo. ^^

I'm here to get us all united and have fun while sacrificing small things that we can do without. This we call "Solidarity Month". Solidarity comes from the French word, "solide", which means solid. As Mr. Encarta say it, "it is a mutual agreement and support: harmony of interests and responsibilities among individuals in a group, especially as manifested in unanimous support and collective action for something."

Here's the thing: for every week of July, we do a little action of sacrifice and stay connected and united as we are as a family. Because this lessens our resources creativity, we use what we have to cope up. For example, if we are stuck with text-based names (e.g. no avatars for a week), we do other stuff like colors, emoticons, et cetera, to put flavour to our names. This way, sacrificing the little things we can do without can actually heighten other strengths we have. At the same time, we are being one and united with everyone, despite our cultural and racial differences... not to mention location. ^^

...so... you get it? XD

HERE WE GO.

WEEK ONE

rules:
- no pictures in avatars (okay okay, maybe tiny ones will be fine.)
- you may use any colour, any size, any font, any language
- no all caps

- no profanity (in ANY language, including sound effects.)
- all rules still apply (e.g. the 25px rule, the respect rule, the blah blah rule, ALL ALL rules.)

NOTE: it is important that you comply to these rules. if you don't, watch the zappers because we're going to zap you. XD

I'm found often in the chat and this terribly upsets me for the main reason of I should have a choice whether I want to participate in this or not. You're going to making me change my avatar. That's IS NOT right.

If you're going to put together some event, at least give us some room, not abuse you power and take away our image avatar.

Besides, you don't have to some event to bring together the Gendounian, this website should be enough.

I don't care if we can do without I won't.

*sigh*
owkie owkie, ayu. ^^
you don't need to be mad or anything. it's just a little thing we thought of that should be fun rather than looked at as something harsh. =P
it's great to hear your opinion regarding the matter, and as a light to this, i guess we're not gonna require the chatters anymore. ^^

let's all be a sport, neh? XD
