Ayoo, everyone. It's me, Vince!
Anywho, as scheduled on the events page, here is the special announcement that I have to make for you all.
So here's the deal, since it's less than about 4 months until the wiki's foundation arrives yet again, and the wiki's stand for 3 years as well, I'd like to request you all if you could all do somethig special for the wiki itself, to show a great mass of appreciation and love for, not only the wiki itself, but everyone here and yourself.
So, if you've read the title, you are not mistaken or delirious on your mind (YouTuber Reference). So let me explain the aforementioned stuff. things that are going to happen on the wiki's 3rd Anniversary and Birthday:
1. Animation
- So, since at least most of us has at least one animation program (I have Photoshop, Flash and CS to work on), I decided to come up with an animation collaboration for each and every single one of us to work on until the wiki's finest day arrives. I came up with this idea from last year's anniversary. Since last year was a bit less from what I expected it should have been, the idea of an animation collab for all users to work on seems like a pretty good idea, since by doing so, we can show that one big spot of creativity and love we all have for each other and the wiki. Thing of it like a "Wiki Anniversary Special Animation" made by you. However, yes, you will make the animation yourself, but how do we turn it into a collaboration before the day of celebration arrives? Well here's a happy thought; we combine all of our animations into one big, awesome, happy and creative collab. Users that will be represented of their complete animation (incomplete ones will be accepted as well) will alphabetized or based on number of edits (from lowest to highest). But what's that? You can't create the best animation you can ever imagine and don't have time for it to make the most epic that you could possibly think of? Don't worry. Whether it'd be good or bad. Serious or Silly. Funny or Boring. We are obliged to have your either complete or incomplete animation be apart of the collab, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MUCH WE CARE ABOUT YOUR WORK, no matter how ridiculous it looks or even a bit too dark as it may seem. You don't have to worry about the time it takes, so long as you put enough of your effort into it. We have 4 months time until the deadline hits. Though I'm not trying to force everyone in to this, I just want everyone to participate so long as they can. Because the wiki's 3rd Year Anniversary will mark this wiki's longest milestone in the community, regardless of how small it is or how many trials we've had to encounter. But wait, you don't have an animation program? Well, here's a plausible good idea, even though I'm against it, I think it's safe to ask for RMD's help here. He knows a file within Mediafire that allows free access to get Flash 8 from it without any surveys or a virus encounter. The reason I'm against this is because, free stuff. things ain't always the right way to go, but in the case for this wiki's birthday and everyone in it, I think I can pass that temporarily. Anywho, so long as you can do your animation and complete it with everything that you got, don't feel ashamed of how it looks, we'll gladly accept it on the collab no matter what. We love you too much to NOT accept it.
2. Get Together
- What can I say even more about this? The last time a whole heap of users was active was like several months ago, with the highest known number of active users within the chatroom being at 11 (Probably). So, why is the get together so important that I have to announce it and even make it a part of the wiki's anniversary? Well, here's a good question: Time Spent with You All. I know I get to spend at least a few hours talking to every single one of your everyday, but with the ammount of users that I get to talk to on chat everyday is like 10% of everyone here, which is a lot less from originally in my time here, where I would get to talk to at least 25 - 67% of everyone in the wiki. So, to not make things complicated on y'all's schedule, like before, I've decided to let you all feel free to join the chat room whenever you are active on the wiki on this special day. But what about your studies and other important real life problems? Here's one answer that you may or may not like; Leave it. A single sacrifice for others is worth taking into consideration and it's important enough, well not just for us, but for you too, somewhere deep inside that hollow shell that traps your sould until death (too much?). Hey, I've got a very busy schedule as well, and it's practically causing me to... 'malfunction' at times (I'm not a robot, it's just an expression), but I have enough time or stuff. things to sacrifice on just to make sure that I'd get to spend my everyday life with y'all. I'm a family-oriented person, and by now you've all known that already, and since I've declared you all as my family now too, the sacrifices I've made in real life just for all of you was/is worth it, since I know you're all still with me. Because everyone has become a part of me. A part of who I am. A part of who I will be. And a part of what I will do in the future that awaits all of us. Just asking if you could, but, can you make room for us? The people you've spent nearly all of your time with in this world? If you could, then, I have nothing more to say than, "Thank you!".
3. Artwork Extravaganza!!
- "It's here, it's here. Yes it's finally here!!" (Kid vs. Kat reference; if you know where it came from). So, on this part, not only will we all be able to share our own artworks to each other, but we're also gonna gather up all of our old artworks submitted in the wiki since we've all joined here, respectively. New ones that are gonna be shared in the wiki and Old ones that were given in this place is more than just welcomed here, it's a part of this place. From Fan's DragoStick art (that old one you edited on the Drillfield level), Drew's Freddy Fabstick (I still hate him though), Seth's Black and Blue artwork (Y NU BROWN???), Chak's seemingly unartistic old Chakatan picture (It looks wobbly from a mid-range position btw), TRS' bearded TRS parody pic (Is the beard still with you?), Scotty's own slush fighters (There should be a few pictures of those done by Binary somewhere) to BX's current Tourney Arts (The effort he made for all of this is outstanding). Old and New. You name it, submit it, we will happily accept it (Ships are also included; sorry TRS, Drew, Khen, Chaka and Fan-Fan :3). Everyone who's anyone, left the wiki or still active, so long as they have any remaining artworks that were left here, whether they were annoying as heck or creepy as stilts (sorry), it's welcomed here.
(Originally, I was planning to make this thread longer, with over at least 5000+ sentences, but made it short later on)
Anywho, to cut this thread shorter from what I was originally going to make it. The wiki is very important to me, to you, and to everyone else. We won't let it die. We won't let it fall. We will make it rise and shine. We're gonna make this wiki something that the other wiki in the community isn't. An evergrowing wiki of creativity and bravery (yes), because we're not cowards trying to hide our own feelings, we're warriors, sharing our experiences and time together as we head onto the battlefield, not matter how bleak the moment gets.
So, will you guys cooperate for the upcoming day that created this sanctuary brought all of us together?
Thank you everyone, within the very bottom of my now beating and every rejoicing heart, I love you all SO much.
Special Thanks to: Ultralord159 for founding this place when the series was fresh from its sequel, making sure everything was going smoothly when you were still the boss, and for gathering all of us together, because, had it not been for you creating the Slush Invaders Wiki, I don't know how all of us would've met. I also thank you for all the past support you've given me and the other users before. Thanks a lot, buddy!
Stay Positive, be Yourself and I hope we can all make this wiki's 3rd Year Anniversary the Best that It can actually be for all of us!!
Sincerely and Happily to be with you all in this place,
- Vincetick! :D
