Birthday celebrations have been in abundance and the events hosted and challenges given have been amazing with wonderful results from you, the community. This article is a roundup of the gameshow that was held last night and a firm date for ^3wyl and I to host our next event has been set!

Patience from all was greatly appreciated as it was the first time we had hosted anything with so many participants and so much to keep track of, but given the feedback I think a good time was had by everyone. In addition to myself and ^3wyl working in #CommunityRelations to keep the game ticking over, we had a team of wonderful people working behind the scenes for almost 5 hours across the evening. `RockstarVanity ~TouchedD `Steph1254 ^ladygagz `dekorAdum and ^KovoWolf deserve huge thanks.

At our busiest, we had almost ninety people participating in the game. After a few rounds and a break to have some Muro fun the number dropped to a comfortable fifty or so people who stuck with us mostly until the end. There were many prizes given out and many winners. The game we were playing was in the style of Pointless a British Game show but was obviously heavily altered for online purposes. The game wouldn't have been possible without the 103 people who answered our questions over a week ago so that we had stats to use throughout the game - those included members of the Community Volunteer Team - thanks all!

Everybody who scored points during the game won them in the form of deviantART points as well. If you were a lucky winner your points/subs and other prizes will be winging their way to you in the near future and you'll get a note from me explaining what you need to do (if anything!) We also had a muro challenge and gave away subs and a plushie to those who contributed consistently to the game - so it wasn't all about winning! For a full list of participants, points and prizes one please check out this document.

:crying: I can't make the next one either :(
Is there any chance you could reschedule it to Friday or Saturday? That way I would most likely be able to attend, since it'll be the weekend and I won't have to go to school. No worries if you can't, I'll just have to hope one of the future events fall at a time which suit me :)

Yes, I was shocked when I checked the chat event time in my country because I didn't believe it initially. :XD:

I'd love to participate in the next one, if I can, but college would have started by then and I'm pretty sure I've got a class going on then. However, I get the feeling this won't be the last one either :D
