Eerongal Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuoni Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eerongal Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share 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!)

Cartith Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Happy birthday Peter. Unfortunately, due to my nature, I must EXTERMINATE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamma Fiend Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share 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.

Eerongal Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share 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.

FeatherWriter Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
