Good evening, dears. I am pleased and, as you can tell from my ebullient glee, excited to announce that at the request of EconomistBrony, I have accepted a position (other than stiffly horizontal) as Equestriamuck's new Event Co-Ordinator and Holiday Helper.
This post is to explain a little about the duties you can expect from me and what I may do to help players as necessary. The role I will play will largely be confined (but not necessarily limited) to the following duties:
I will schedule the established holidays and post announcements regarding them within a week or so of the event, to give ponies a chance to plan for RP or other activities. If appropriate, I will also provide decorations or room descriptions for seasonal events or special occasions. In addition, I will be available to give ponies help in planning their own events or plots related to these holidays, or, indeed, plots in general, if requested, including sprucing up room descriptions to match the occasion. In short, I am generally available to lend a hoof or any other appendage to helping players with tinyplots, holidays, shindigs (I take a special delight in digging up shins, dears.), and events. While I cannot promise to personally participate in the events, I may also be available to spoof bystanders, crowds, or NPC ponies. While I am here to help, it will still be the players here on the muck who will be central to holiday roleplay.
To begin with, I would like to set out EquestriaMuck's new 'official' holiday schedule. Please note, these are all considered canon holidays, in that they have appeared on the show. In many cases they intended as Equestria's versions of real holidays, and as such, they are tentatively going to be scheduled as closely to the equivalent dates as can be arranged. We will, of course, reschedule as needed so as not to conflict with other pending storylines or tinyplots-- all dates are approximate and many of the celebrations will be extended over several days to allow everypony a chance to participate. Some of these are Equestria-wide celebrations and others festivals local to Ponyville, which is the central location of our grid.
Hearts and Hooves (Feb 14)
Winter Wrap-Up (Spring Equinox)
Summer Sun Celebration (Summer Solstice)
The Summer Harvest Parade (Aug 15)
Nightmare Night (Oct 31)
Running of the Leaves (Nov 25)
Hearthwarming Eve (Dec 24)
You may notice that I have not included holidays which are muck-canon, such as Luna's Solstice, or holidays that are personally linked to a single character such as the opening of Cider Season or Applebucking Day. Those holidays should be planned and scheduled by the feature characters associated with them, though I am here to give them any help they might request.
Please do not hesitate to page me or send me a message should you have any questions, proposed events, or wish to ask for help with a planned celebration, and I will do what I can to help you, dears. Thank you and have a good evening.
