Mystery Egg · 19-08-2015 7:11pm

I'm more of a lurker/thanker than active contributor, but I am a dedicated Christmas nut and would gladly do this too if you'd have me.

So when is this thing kicking off?

Posy · 01-09-2015 8:11am

We'll be kicking off Monday September 7th with Fussyonion.

That gives us Christmas week 'off' and leaves a spare week in case we run over time or get an extra participant.

Glitzgirl · 01-09-2015 11:23am

Will there be a list going up so we know who is on what weeks? Sorry first time signing up for it so I'm sure I'm probably missing something here lol

LoughC is updating the list in the post above as people add their name

Scarinae · 01-09-2015 5:39pm

I'm going to have to start thinking of Christmassy questions!

kitten_k · 08-09-2015 10:07am

Should this not have kicked off yesterday?

I was with them over 4 years on secondment for all of it haha. There's a good chance we may have worked on the same secondment at some stage haha.

kitten_k · 08-09-2015 4:13pm

Na we haven't I have been in the one place for the 5 years with just one other guy. He left in February so just me now.

Hollister11 · 19-09-2015 12:29am

I would be interested in taking part at some stage.

Loughc · 05-10-2015 12:57pm

I haven't forgotten about you Mud, I'll set up a thread when the site is fully functional again. It's all over the shop at the moment.

I hadn't even realised that this was my week! Bring it on! I'm excited to do it

In your own time of course, the site's been mighty interesting all weekend :pac:

BabysCoffee · 25-10-2015 11:38pm

If anyone drops out, I'd be interested in taking part!

Scarinae · 26-10-2015 11:13pm

Am I this week?

Posy · 26-10-2015 11:50pm

You are!!

We hadn't forgotten about you.

Oops in my defence I am away for the weekend :P

Loughc · 08-01-2016 12:11pm

Thank you to everyone who's contributed to this in 2015, once again the response was fantastic!

Loughc · 18-10-2016 7:28am

So shall we go again? Who's interested in Know Your Elves 2016? If you're interested register here!

I'm in.

kitten_k · 18-10-2016 9:31am

Yes please

Hufflepuff · 18-10-2016 9:51am

me too please

baby and crumble · 18-10-2016 9:52am

I'm in, but can I suggest something? Perhaps the order that we do this in (who answers questions when) be randomised? I just think the last few years the regulars are signing up first, which means they answer far fewer questions because the forum gets much busier as the weeks go on and we get closer to Christmas.

I just think it might be a little bit fairer, but that's just my opinion, happy to go whenever.

Loughc · 18-10-2016 9:59am

So the provisional plan is to kick this off on Monday. And have the last week commencing on the 12th of December so we're not too close to Christmas. As I know how busy our elves get around Christmas.

That leaves 8 slots open. With 4 gone already that only leaves 4. If more want to join the list we may double up some weeks and have 2 or even 3 a week if needed.

Excellent idea! And any excuse to use the Festive Random Generator (TM)

I'll randomise the list on Sunday night and post up the results and dates on Sunday with a view to go live on Monday. (more exciting than this year's xfactor)

OMG IT'S GETTING SO CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS!

And not a CHILD IN THE HOUSE WASHED!!!! :pac::pac::pac:

Mystery Egg · 18-10-2016 10:28am

Not to bring in dissent b&c :pac:, but I think it actually works the other way round. I was the last person to answer questions last year (and I would consider myself a regular here) and there was very little interest because it had all been done to death in the preceding weeks.
I'm up for doing it again btw, but if somebody hasn't had a go I am happy to forgo a place.
