NerdyAarakocra They/Them Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Ookla Season Cometh! Ookla Season is one of our most venerated traditions here on 17th Shard. To honor the birthday of Peter Ahlstrom, Brandon Sanderson's assistant, we change our names to "Ookla the [Epithet]" on his birthday, November 26th. Most people change back after a week, but Ookla Season doesn't officially end until Koloss Head-Munching Day (Brandon Sanderson's birthday) in December. So, yeah. Ookla season! Hopefully you won't be as confused as I was my first time around. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenclawjedi42 Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Question in the last few hours before I change my username (I plan to do it exactly at midnight): I’m planning on changing my name, profile picture, and member title. This will of course lead to confusion of who I am, which I am going to clear up in my signature. My question is: should I just put my normal username, or should I spoiler it to embrace the mystery? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
