HISTORY:
In January 2012, Immskayleah came up with a plan to wanted to take out a GG member's wish list. Her reason behind it was simple. This person was/is a very active member of the simming community, selflessly giving of their time and friendship to many on the forums. After coming up with this plan Immskayleah asked Goddess0676sm (our previous facilitator) if she would be willing to assist her in recruiting the community to help take down this member's massive WL. I had the good fortune to be in on this huge event. We were successful in forming a mob of gifter's and took that GG member's WL down to practically nothing. They didn't know what hit them. **
During the week of plotting the endeavor took on a life of its own. It was decided by many that this was a something worthy of a monthly event, and thus the Flash Mob was born.
In February, 2013, when Goddess0676sm reluctantly decided to step down as our facilitator, she asked me to take over. It is my pleasure and honor to be able to serve our community in this capacity and keep a tradition alive.
A big thanks goes out to Pnoles for giving our beloved event its name.
Each month us hosts (whoever they may be) pick a deserving target/member to honor that have shown great willingness to get involved within the community. These members are active, selfless and show great kindness and willingness to help others before helping themselves. We appreciate this, and in return we honour their dedication with as many gifts as we can throw!
BUT, these gifts DO NOT need to be gifts from their wishlist. There are lots of gifts that can be given that do not require simpoints.
For example:
- A kind word, poem, story etc.
- Rec’s to their studio
- Making Sims
- Making Pets
- Patterns
- Recolours (Items, clothing, hair, accessories..)
- Building Houses
- Building Community Lots
- Be creative!
* Not everyone uses CC, so please refrain from using CC in any of your creations!
* Don't upload your creations to your studio until the 8th please! You may export them to your launcher ready, but no early gifts!
** Thanks to Alitoni for assisting with updating the History.
RULES:
1. The purpose of the flash mob gifters is to honor a member of the community who has shown great kindness and generosity to their fellow simmers. An ideal candidate is helpful and active in the forums as a whole, and does not need to be limited to the GG forum. This should be a person who has limited access to, or limited availability to buy SimPoints as that was immskayleah's original intent.
2. All gifts are allowed. This includes items from the store, custom creations (sims, homes, community lots, and recolor's), stories and poems. It can now even be free gifts from the new in-game option. Personal messages to the honoree the day of are also encouraged.
3. The Flash Mob will convene on the 8th of every month, at 8:00 P.M. in your local time zone. This will provide a full day of gifting for the honoree and allow everyone in the community to participate.
4. There will be 2 hosts every month. This allows for the demands of RL, and more communication with the community on the event.
5. On the 8th day of the month the hosts will oversee the Flash Mob thread and provide any necessary assistance.
6. Please do not quote pictures as it can break the thread.
7. And the most important rule is for everyone to have fun together as a community!

There are an awful lot of gifts dropping into this thread so I apologise in advance if I make any typo's or errors. If you spot something wrong, please let me know and I'll add/correct/insert whatever was missing or incorrect :-)

Due to our different time zones TK and I have decided to have two sections to keep track of games and any points we gift. This will enable us to keep the thread active for members around the world and also keep the fun going 24 hours a day
To avoid confusion I will ensure that I close all my games before going offline or going to bed and TK will do the same.
Winners of my games will be decided by random.org at the end of each game, everyone who took part will be entered. Each game has a 25sp prize, you can gift them away, you can save them up, all up to you
(Thanks to NOXXI for the great game ideas, they were such good fun I am keeping them going and will add to them as I come up with ideas :-))
What comes next?
Begin by giving two words. You must take the SECOND of the two words and make a new word ... or two words that go together. Here's a sample:
1st person: Home Front
2nd person: Front Yard
3rd person: Yard Sale
I never!!
The premise is simple. I say something that I have never done. Anyone who HAS done that thing posts the next thing.
So if I said "I have never worked in a bank", anyone who has worked in a bank before can post the next thing.
Mix it up!
Unscramble the word to solve and then pick a new Mix Up
person 1: mlafee
person 2: female
Isngsw
person 3: Swings
Vacanar
LIAM!!
The name of the game is simple, you take a film name,a book title or a television program and you replace a word in the title with; LIAM. Please also write the name of the original film/book/show so we all know what you're on about!
This game is in honour of the most annoying member of the Sims community, Liam o'dourke
Caption this!
How to play: One person will put down an image/photo, and the next couple people will put funny captions. Every couple posts, we will put a new photo. Anyone can add a photo I would only ask that they give the previous photo a few posts first
The last word
Make a sentence with the letters in the last word from the last post.
If the last post is "I like shiny things".
The next poster can write: "that hat is not green, silly."
So the letters for the next poster are: s, i, l, l, y.
Corrupt a wish!
To start the thread, I will post a wish. The following poster then makes it come true, but corrupts it in some way so that something bad happens. After the poster corrupts the wish, they then post a wish of their own, and the next poster repeats the process.
Liar, liar!
I write 3 statements about myself. 2 of them are true but one of them is a lie. Your job is to identify which is the lie. Whoever guesses right makes the next statement
Encore
I will post a word that would be common in songs like, "rain," "stay" and "hand." Takes turns to post songs that have that word somewhere in the lyrics. If you get stuck, or after a few posts we will add a new word.
WINNERS
ADWilson was the winner of game 6
loobylou1985 was the winner of game 7 (Wishes to gift target on Mob Day)
samiam662 was the winner of game 8
