Come one and all to the Lifestream Mini Christmas Party!

The name is a loose translation of Pikkujoulu, a Finnish tradition. It's an informal party, less about Christmas than it is about friends or colleagues getting together to have fun before they go their separate ways for the holidays. It's also an excuse to drink, because you can never have enough of those, right?

Our version will be held next Saturday, the 16th of December. I'll say that 20:00 UTC (click here to convert to your timezone) is our starting time, but since it's going to be very casual, you can show up significantly later than that, and come and go as you please. I'll be up all night anyway.

The venue will be Discord voice chat. You'll need a microphone and headphones, or a headset. If you don't have them, you can chat from your phone via the Discord app (Android, iOS). Everyone is welcome, even if you've never been on Discord before.

Potential party activities include:

Games from the Jackbox Party Pack 2
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Cards for Humanity, an online Cards Against Humanity clone
Skribbl.io, an online Pictionary clone
Mafia/Werewolf, The Resistance or similar games (run by yours truly)
Final Fantasy trivia
Drinking games
Improv games
Watching things together on Rabbit
Karaoke (or just singing together – I'll need those drinking games first though)

Plus all manner of general japery and bonhomie. I described those activities as "potential" because it will all depend on who is there and what they feel like doing. No party dictators here.

Let us know if you can make it by posting in this thread (or just show up on the night – that's fine too!), share ideas and preferences if you have any, and start getting into a festive mood! I hope to see you there!

P.S. Flarancy has given me their... her... its Community Manager blessing to run this.

**f a n c y** · 12/08/2017

I'm about 100% certain that I'll make it and will be present for majority of the time!

!!

ChipNoir · 12/08/2017

Right after finals? Totally in!

CrashOuch · 12/08/2017

Sounds good! I'll try to show my ... voice?

Also, my mate managed to find a music bot to add to our discord voice chat that can play stuff off YouTube so you could use something like that to play annoying Christmas songs while there aren't games and stuff going on if you wanted!

Flintlock · 12/08/2017

I was just saying to Fancy we should get a music bot.

This is the party's theme tune though:

YouTube Video

(The best part is that if you don't like the bot, you can mute it for yourself!)

**f a n c y** · 12/08/2017

Are you sure it's not 10 AM? Since it's 8 PM for me. But hopefully it'll go on so long that you can join in your afternoon/evening.

Edit: Actually, I'm gonna push the starting time back by a couple of hours. It'll be 20:00 UTC (also 20:00 UK time, I hope that's not a problem for anyone). Updated conversion link here.

Channy · 12/08/2017

I dunno I just clicked it and now it says noon for me.

edit: oh that's why xD

**Joe** · 12/09/2017

I'll be arriving fashionably two hours late, but I'm down. Don't start the jackbox without me I love that shit.

**ForceStealer** · 12/09/2017

This sounds like fun

I should be around. Those Jackbox games are really great for stuff like this.

Yeah, but I'd rather have nothing for a change. How do you do it? Well, it comes with practice. I can think of nothing. I do not feel the need to occupy my mind with nonsense, just to avoid thinking about what really matters.
