Wear Something DF-ish Day 2013: August 8
« on: January 16, 2013, 09:26:44 am »

You can get these neat dwarf buttons if you donate to Toady! I don't know the specifics, but now we have an official way to identify other people who play DF if we all wear a button like that (or a DF shirt, or even a home-made button) on one day. So, here's the idea:
- Pick one day where every member of the forum is obligated to wear something obviously recognizable as a DF piece of kit.
- Preferably this is a day where everyone will be walking around in their city if they live in a city, so we have maximum spread.
- See if anyone meets each other and then gossip about it on the forums (e.g. omg i met goombageek he is teh sexiest person evar).

It's on August 8, 2013, the 6th anniversary of DF. Bring a friend! (Grow out your beard if you've got one!)

Sounds good. How about August 8, the original release date of DF?

I wonder if the game has become odd.

That's a pretty good date (and has a meaning to it, always a plus). And it's summer, so our Bay12ers who are in some kind of educational program (I'd love it if you assumed I was in university when I said that, but unfortunately I'm not quite there yet :I) will be able to organize meetups and things like that without needing to take a sick day "I accidentally stabbed myself with the sharp end of the pin on the button, can I have the day off while I quietly bleed" or something.

And, only if your ‼socks‼ are actually on fire and will be all day :P

August 8 sounds great, because Original Release.

BTW, I've been working on All Day !!Socks!!  Not there yet, but I've got a few months to work on it.

I got some badges from Toady when I donated but from memory I think they were left overs from the last DF meetup that he and Zack were at and they were in limited supply. But maybe he's now getting more made to give out to people who donate, dunno.

I like this idea; count me in. Keep in mind that I live pretty much out in the middle of nowhere, though.

I've been putting them in with each crayon envelope the last some months, and I'm not going to run out for a few years I suspect.

Perhaps 'engraving' a piece of clothing or a body part with the word !!fey!! would do the trick?
