Eerongal he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Happy ookla the mokovial, everyone! Another year has passed and it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the end of the year! For all you new people: Every year around here we celebrate "Ookla the mokovial"! A local holiday rife with its own traditions, practices, and holiday decorations! More realistically, though, it's a holiday we made up to honor Peter Ahlstrom, Brandon's assistant (He used to go by the screen name Ookla the Mok on the TWG forums). It also happens to coincide with his birthday, which was totally on purpose and not an accident in any way! To celebrate, we generally rename ourselves to "Ookla the ..." where you fill in the blank with whatever! And usually update our profiles to match. Sometimes its fun to try and guess who is who! 1
Kurkistan he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Yeah, I think I'll just stick with my old avatar. A bit of trouble to find a new one and I don't think I'll be hiding any day soon with my post-count and sig. 1
Satsuoni he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Happy holiday! Is that you, Eeron Gal? Has been a while... I'll stay with my avatar, too. It is how I identify people on the forum, so when they change it gets quite confusing...
Iredomi Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Happy birthday to Peter! My change is impossible to see through XP
Satsuoni he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Google help you, child Iredomi Now, who is that nifty cat?
Iredomi Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 God Beyond how did you do it? Just incredible! I guess my ninja skills aren't good enough around here these parts.
Eerongal he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 Happy holiday! Is that you, Eeron Gal? Has been a while... I'll stay with my avatar, too. It is how I identify people on the forum, so when they change it gets quite confusing... Yup, it's me I've been around, more in a lurky spam-delety capacity. Been busy with work and other personal life changes (nothing bad), so I just haven't had much time to waste around here.
PeterAhlstrom he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 I forgot about this tradition. 11
firstRainbowRose she/her Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Hm... we have Ook fest, we have Koloss Head Munching Day... we need something for the new couple as well. *goes off to think* Also, Happy Birthday Peter!
Mailliw73 he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Im kinda late to the party, but here I am. But who am I?
WeiryWriter he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Happy Birthday Peter! And Happy Ookla the Mokovial to everyone else! (I'm not going to try and hide who I am) @Ookla the Stormlblessed - Is that you, Mailliw73?
Shardlet he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Happy birthday Peter! We love you very very very very very much! (Has anyone else seen that video? At the Bottom of Everything by Bright Eyes) Edited November 26, 2013 by Ookla the Occulus
Mailliw73 he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Yep, Weiry! You got it. Happy, happy birthday to you, Peter!
Eerongal he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 I forgot about this tradition. It's an ancient tradition mired rich history and folklore and scores of fanatics who go on about what a joyous time of year it is! (or we just made it up a couple years ago. Ya know, whichever!) Happy birthday peter!
Cartith he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Happy birthday Peter. Unfortunately, due to my nature, I must EXTERMINATE!!!!
Gamma Fiend he/him Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Eh, screw it. I'm in.From what I can gather, seems like this Peter fellow does quite a bit to help things rolling. How long do we keep the names/new avatars?I prob wont change the avatar just to help prevent more confusion, but I'll go for a name change.
skaa he/him Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Sorry I'm late. Happy birthday, Mokovial!
Aether he/him Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Pardon me for being late, but happy birthday, Peter (slightly retroactively)! How long do we traditionally stay with these names?
The Rooster he/him Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 This is the weirdest thing, I noticed it today and had to search for this post. Happy BD PA!
Natans he/him Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Happy birthday. Mr. Peter. Have a long and good life. Ok I'm in =) There is anything else that you must know too celebrate this important date ? Edited November 27, 2013 by Ookla the Puro
Eerongal he/him Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Pardon me for being late, but happy birthday, Peter (slightly retroactively)! How long do we traditionally stay with these names? The plan is usually about a week or so, but generally lasts until everyone gets bored of it. Happy birthday. Mr. Peter. Have a long e good life. Ok I'm in =) There is anything else that you must know too celebrate this important date ? Nope! It's all just for fun, something we do around the holidays every year here.
Claincy he/him Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Ok, late to the party but present. Happy belated Birthday Peter =)
askthepaperclip he/him Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Ooo fun!! I'm in! Happy Birthday, Peter! BTW, I figured this is a good opportunity to finally add an avatar to my profile...
FeatherWriter she/her Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Well, I'm a bit late to the party, but y'all said it lasts about a week so why not? Peter's awesome enough to warrant a name change!
