[Event] Fourth Annual White Winter Whirl

-----------------------------


-----------------------------





Greetings Fleeties!
In these dark and dreary months, after weeks of doing Q's bidding in his Winter Wonderland, we have a exciting weekend planned to brighten up your Winter.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the Morale Department's Fourth Annual White Winter Whirl!

Featuring some amazing competitions with a chance to win a couple of small prizes like an Elahchi Cruiser! a Plasmonic leach or two, a handful of EC, superior traits, and whatever else we have at the back of the cargo bay!

This year will also see the launch of the First Ever Accolade Hunters' Club.

Join us as we take on the galaxy.






It's that time of year again, come and gather at Q's Winter Wonderland for a spot of fleetie festive fun! Bring your best party outfit for a boogie to kick off the first day of the White Winter Whirl.




We'll team up and take on Q's Winter Wonderland together. Let's run his little quests for our amusement:
- Thirty minute past, rush to the start of the race “The Fast and the Flurrious”!
- Forty-five minutes past, snowball fight against evil snowmen all across the Wonderland!
- On the hour, help the gingerbread people fight off the snowmen in “Cones of Conduct”.
- Fifteen after the hour, head to the snow valley to fight off waves of snow Borg in “Tide of Ice”.
- Half past the hour, it is time to launch into "Winter Invasion" PvE and help the Gingerbread men.




OH NO! Your Chief of Fleet Morale was sent on an errand by Neelix to find some ingredients for his latest holiday concoction (something about basting a turkey with Kazon hair grease). He was last seen at Delta Quadrant Command where he made contact with Neelix's slightly-shifty, not so liberated Borg contact. Embark on an epic quest, following a trail across three quadrants, to discover what happened to him (Level 50 Federation or Federation-Aligned Character required). May the fastest humanoid win.




Grab your shovels and prepare to beam down with 19 of your fellow fleeties. It's time to do those massive queues, the Big Dig and to Breaking the Planet. Then load your torpedo bays, we're flying into space to save Starbase 24 and Slow the Klingon Expeditionary Force, save the fleet's Starbase, and finally kill that big floaty crystal thing.




oin us on Teamspeak for the Big Winter Quiz. Test your holiday (and general) knowledge against your fleeties. Which team will be victorious and claim the big prize?




It's finally here. The Morale Department's brand new, exclusive, open-to-everyone Accolade Hunters Club. Watch this space and we'll announce the location very soon. After this, we'll be holding regular happenings where we'll work together to polish off your accolade collection, on all your toons. Gotta get them all!




Dress in White and head on over to Risa at maximum warp. Its time to dance away until the wee hours. Bring along your worst chat-up lines and show off your best moves for some random spot prizes!







Day Two, and the festivities kick off with a rerun of Q's Winter Wonderland! We'll help you get the pieces for that snazzy little Winter getup you want:
- Fifteen after the hour, head to the snow valley to fight off waves of snow Borg in “Tide of Ice”.
- Thirty minute past, rush to the start of the race “The Fast and the Flurrious”!
- Forty-five minutes past, snowball fight against evil snowmen all across the Wonderland!
- On the hour, help the gingerbread people fight off the snowmen in “Cones of Conduct”.
- Fifteen past the hour, it is time to launch "Winter Invasion" and help the Gingerbread men, Again.




You've probably heard of Shuttle vs Carrier. This year, we're doing "Shuttles versus Science Dreadnoughts". Will your tiny little runabout get completely destroyed by a Gravity Well? Can the swarm of Shuttles take down our best Science Captains? Join us and find out.
Then when the dust settles, and the holes in subspace close, we'll launch into Shuttle PvEs.




Head on over to Bajor with your best outfit for out Winter Costume Contests. This year will be our Biggest Ever Winter Fashion show with three categories for you to enter:
- The Holiday Look
- The Alternative Winter Outfit
- [Team Entry] The Holiday Ensemble
As usual we're giving you creative leeway to interpret the categories however you like. Will it be something stunning, or traditional, or unforgettable?




Grab your coffee cup and get your snacks at the ready. We've got 100 whole minutes of Mystery PvE queues. Do you have the stamina for this marathon? Set yourself up for all-purpose ground and space, as you won't know what's coming till we hit the start button.




Like every good event. All good things must come to an end... Bring a partner or a group of friends to Q's Winter Wonderland for the final dance.

Wow, looks amazing! Working on both days, arrgghh! Maybe I'll be able to sneak away for a bit to join the fun.

Looks like fun, too bad I won't be able to be there.

But, what about all the people that don't live in places that have "white" winters?! Sure, snow is great, unless you're stuck at home because a metre and a half of fresh (worst of all, wet) snow just fell, and it's 48 below without wind chill.

I'm dreaming of a green Christmas, just like the ones I used to know.

I booked the weekend off work because i CAN!

Awesome! I work both days but hope to be able to catch some of the later events :)

This is the one big event that I look forward to every year (trust me every one we do is so much fun, but I really love this one), It is always such a blast!
I look forward to seeing everyone for the event! :cheer:

I would! Sadly, I'm working.

Had fun at the few events I was able to join today - thanks Cai, Eurrsk and everyone else!
P.S. Did our team win the trivia?

I had so much fun with the Admiral search! And the quiz, though it left me feel a little stupid - it was really difficult :D
I'm looking forward to doing more accolade hunting with you! I thought I'm the only one interested in getting them..
Are we going to have some special place like a thread in the forums or something to ask for help and talk about accolades in general? I mean, is the Accolade Hunters Club just a name or will we really be able to gather from time to time and share infos and tips and stuff?

We are indeed! I'm going to set up a special place in the forums for the accolade hunters club where we can share tips! Also, we'll have regular meetings where we can get them together!

I'll finalise the details this week and make a thread! :)

I'm glad you had fun with the admiral search xD

Also, we'll have regular meetings

Do I need to stand, state my name and my reason for attending, at each session?

Thank you once again Morale Dept for the weekend event, looking forward to the next ones!!!!!

Thanks for the awesome fun!!

And now I get to take a break from STO missions. I have shoulder surgery on Thursday, on my dominant arm. So I won't be doing many missions, but I will still be doing all the other fun stuff. Gotta keep getting R&D and doff stuff of course. Arm has to be in a sling most of the time for at least a couple weeks.
Can't wait for it to be done though. It's a tendon tear that has been bothering me for 6 years now. Will finally be able to participate in activities, and drumming. B)

Thank you everyone who attend our White Winter Whirl!! hope you all had a flurrie of a time haha! Thank you Eurrsk and Cai for being awesome teamates and everyone else who had helped out in the events :D

I was only able to attend Saturday's festivities but had a blast...especially the Pub Quiz. From ovines to goats to neutron stars to William Shatner's Canadian heritage, it was a blast. The quizzes are by far my favorite because fleeties can directly interact with other fleeties. Not often we can do that in large numbers.
