FLASH MOB FAREWELL PARTY -- CLOSED

ErnesaTErnesaT Posts: 7,474 Member
edited February 2015 in The Sims 3 Store Gifting
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, good night ........ Such an appropriate song and one of my favorites.

First, I want to thank all the wonderful people who have hosted flashmob over the past few years. I'd also like to thank all of the lovely participants. I can't express my gratitude for all you have done to make Flash Mob a success.

In the excitement leading up to and the release of Sims 4, participation in the Flash Mob has dwindled. Although I have not moved on to TS4, many have and are happily discovering a new iteration of the Sims. To those simmers, I hope all is well and, maybe, one day will join you (after several releases and updates). :-D Others have returned to school/college/university.

Change is the one constant in life -- sometimes for the better -- sometimes not. The saving grace is that we still have a community in which to chat and share. We also have new simmers who are just discovering a game we all love so well.

That being said, it saddens me to say that I believe our beloved Flash Mob needs a rest. With a sad heart (because I will miss the fun and anticipation), I am putting Flash Mob to bed after December.

Some may say, "It's only September. What about October?" My response would be that I have something special planned for the next 3 Flash Mobs. Let's give Flash Mob a party that most will remember fondly.

The party will begin September 18th (the day Flash Mob normally opens for the new honoree) and run until December 18th (I get to bend the rules). The party is open to all who would like to participate.

This Flash Mob is different than all others in that YOU, the participants, are all honorees, including the hosts. None of the previous rules about Flash Mob apply. *nods head solemnly* I can change the rules because it's my show. LOL

I ask that you all have fun.

We are now open for business.

*SINGING LOUDLY*

SHAKE YOUR GROOVE THANG
SHAKE YOUR GROOVE THANG
YEAH! YEAH!
SHOW 'EM HOW TO DO IT NOW!!

**************************************************************************************************************************


Well, folks, it's been one helluva ride. I can't express how much you all have come to mean to me or how much I appreciate your continued support of Flash mob for the past 3 years. We've had our ups and downs and still managed to make this community and Flash Mob something special.

Each month, before I handed Flash Mob over to the hosts, I asked them/you all to "take care of my baby". There is a saying, "It takes a village to raise a child.". This was my baby and you all were the village, whether you hosted or simply participated. It truly took a special bunch of unique people to keep this going, and, for that I thank you.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.



Please see below for your points and post a link to your wl, advising what you wish. If you wish to gift someone else, please post a link to their wl and state what you would like to give

    Game #1:

    What am I?...A fun little game I thought of

    What you do is think of something you could be like an object, animal, etc...Leave three clues and the next person has to guess what you are and than leave their own three clues. The clues can be as easy or hard as you like. I'll let it run a week :)

    Ex.
    What am I? I'm Red, round, and can be drank from.
    Answer: A Red Cup

    now I'll start you off...

    What am I? I'm small, furry and can be a pet.

    Winner: @Carmen0908

    @sweet2 .... Previous Flash Mobs had 2 hosts who picked a deserving member of the community to honor. The chosen honoree was someone who either gave of their time, expertise, creations, encouragement or gifted others from the store. Prior hosts and honorees had to be known on the forum and have a decent reputation. We didn't tolerate beggars or flamers (those who start trouble... trolls). The mob was usually simmers who wanted to participate and liked the honoree.

    However, this time everyone that joins is an honoree, including the hosts, except me, regardless of how long you've been on the forum. This Flash Mob party is to say good-bye to something we all love and looked forward to doing each month. It's my way of saying "Thank You" to everyone who supported us through the past 3 years.

    I'd be more than happy for you to join. If you'll fill out the participant form, you'll be the first mobber. (Hint.... there is a prize for that).

    Since you were technically our first participant (but Mori beat you to the form), you will also receive 100 simpoints. Be mindful that the points can only be used in TS3 store because 4 has no store. Your points will be banked.
