Board Thread:2016 - A Year of Unity/@comment-1824169-20160722171622

Alright guys, we're like halfway through the year, and, as Aaron pointed out, the Year of Unity has been practically non-existent. Well, since I don't know what else I should be doing as Admin at the moment, I think it's high time we do something about that!

First thing's first, I'd like to propose a logo and a slogan for this thing:

"We can't have Unity without YoU."

I admit the logo could be a bit better, but that pun is straight fire and anyone who disagrees is objectively wrong. (jkjk)

Second, we need some sort of activity to unite people's creative sides. A lot of people like writing crossover projects, but they usually don't have the time or energy to do so, especially when they're dealing with their own series. We need something interesting, but simultaneously quick and easy for people to do without interrupting their schedules too much.

I highlighted Sci's Chain of Kindness thread since it follows the spirit of this idea, but I'd like to also propose something similar, but a tad bit more involved:

Chain of Gifts
Basically, the idea is that the chain starts with someone giving someone else a gift of some kind. It can be anything, from art to writing to dank memes, just something that you think they'd like. The only rule as to what you can do for gifts is that it has to be made by the person giving the gift. You can't just find something random online and say "here I made this".

Once the gift receiver gets their gift, they continue the chain by giving the next person in the chain a gift, and so on and so forth. The order of gift givers and receivers would be randomly selected from a list of all the program's participants. It's sorta like Secret Santa, but not Secret, and also in the middle of summer.

If this idea gets enough support to get started, I'll hammer out the specifics of everything in a separate thread. Anyways, I just thought that this would be something people might be interested in doing.

Anyways, that's just my suggestion, but since this is the Year of Unity, I need YOU, the Community to get involved. Leave your feedback, and, more importantly, Suggestions down in the comments section below.

The Year of Unity can still be good for something. We just need to give it a bit of a push!
