THE SUMMER SUN CELEBRATION 2012


June 23rd @12pm PDT



At the height of Equestrian Summer, ponies flock from all over the nation to the capital city of Canterlot to see Princess Celestia make a rare public appearance and raise the sun in all her glory. But not only that, parties take place all over to celebrate the occasion and the summer heat!

What's going down?
This year, Ponyville will be marking the occasion with a multitude of events.

The Summer Events Tournament
Posted Image "Thummer'th the betht!"
There will be a line-up of summer-themed events for you to take part in, from fishing to watermelon eating. You'll play as individuals, and we won't be keeping score of who wins each event - they're all independent of each other. It'll be a lot of fun!

Cheerilee's Cutie Mark Quest
Posted Image "Maybe we can get our cutie marks in partying!"
Cheerilee has realised that the Cutie Mark Crusaders probably won't be finding their cutie marks on their own any time soon, so she's set up some challenges to help.
Gather in teams of 3 and take them on! You can find team members in this thread. Only one team can win!

The Raising of the Sun
Posted Image "Ready for an adventure, my students?"
Cheerilee (who is, of course, the best teacher ever) has planned a school trip for everyone in Ponyville to go to Canterlot to see her royal highness Princess Celestia raise the sun. It'll certainly be quite a sight!

And more!
Posted Image"MORE partying!?"
As well as these organised events, there will be plenty of other things to do. Expect picnics, sunbathing, pool parties and (subject to me speaking to some RP folks) a campsite for y'all to hang out on.

When is it?
Posted Image "SOON."
The event will be on Saturday, June 23rd, beginning at 12pm Pacific / 3pm Eastern / 8pm GMT. You can convert that to your timezone here. We can't give an exact end time as these things tend to end organically rather than by a forced deadline, but you can expect it to last about 3 hours (probably a little longer). It's also worth noting that the number of slots will be raised to a really high number so everyone who wants to get on can.

We look forward to seeing you there!

3pm... yeah I can come, I never do anything at 3pm for some reason, especially on Saturdays. And I know it's going to be great!

EDIT: Well that's sad, something came up and I can't show up, what a shame. :mellow:

Is anyone going to livestream it? Actually, I know the answer is yes, so what I should say is, post your livestreams if you are going to be covering the event. I'm thinking of letting someone livestream it from the admin channel, so people can listen to us coordinating the events, but don't hold me to that. :)

I just emailed EqD asking them to mention it (probably just in a nightly roundup, if they even post about it), lets see how many we can get before the server blows up. It handled 200 for the Gala without dying, can it do 300?

I am super excited for this event! And Ratty, I could livestream it if you would like! I'll just change my channel's backround and what not to be more pony related so it looks good for the occassion! :3 My livestream is http://www.livestrea...m/askthecatman It's a bit creepy right now, but I'll change it right away! :3

EDIT: I changed everything to make it look better! My banner is now the Brohoof.com logo :3

I'm sorry, but the begining of the event is so hectic that I can't get a good shot without being pushed and blocked by others. It will not be included in with the rest of the video (if I can make it at all, seeing how crazy it is already.)
Edit: Nevermind, I give up entirely. Too much pushing and shoving and there is no place for me to get good shots.
