Mizi's Official 2020 Ugly Sweater Party
Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2020 6:07 pm
We're all fairly familiar with how rough 2020 has been on us, and aside from 2019, I would say this year has been the nastiest for me yet. How better to wrap up this Ugly, Nasty year than with an Ugly Sweater Party! That's right, I'm taking matters into my own hands. So here goes, on December 20th, 2020, we will have the Ugliest Party of the year!
Now for those of you unfamiliar with Ugly Sweater Parties, here's how it usually goes.
-Party-goers much each be fitted with the ugliest, itchiest, "someone gifted this to me unironically and they're here at this party, and I didn't want to wear it but if I don't it'll hurt their feelings"-est sweater they can find. (A matching hat is recommended as well, but not required) And for the rest of the night, you are doomed to an existence in an Ugly, Itchy, "Oh yeah, I wear it all the time!" existence. Participants are allowed to compliment each other, sure, but at an Ugly Sweater Party... do they really mean it? Are they saying their sweater is uglier than yours?? That's the fun of it, isn't it.
Nearing the end of the night, everyone will cast votes on who's sweater is indeed the ugliest (You are not allowed to vote for yourself) of the night, and I'll probably find something to give them.
Now I usually consider myself a woman of good taste, but allowing Ugly Sweaters through my doors might jeopardize my reputation as such. Which is why we're taking this to the next level! On top of the ugliness, we will also be playing a game called "Don't say Ugly"
-The rules of the game are simple. Participants will buy a ticket labeled "Don't Say Ugly", this qualifies you in the game, you are now a part of it.
-After purchasing your ticket at the beginning of the party, which is the only time you will be able to do so, you are no longer allowed to say the word "Ugly."
-Should anyone catch you saying the word "Ugly" they are allowed to call you out (without saying Ugly), and when they call you out, you give all the tickets in your possession to them. (This does not mean you are disqualified, you can still try to catch someone saying Ugly to get a ticket back.)
-At the end of the party (or whenever you have to leave I guess) I will make a chest for you to sell it back to at a higher price. Probably. I'm still poor, so Idk)
(Participation is not required in this, simply recommended)
BUT ON TOP OF THIS
There will also be a White Elephant gift exchange.
The White Elephant gift exchange will go something like this.
-Everyone participating will show up with a shulker box, with at least 15c of stuff in it. Once you arrive to the party, I will have a hopper for you to put it in. Sometime during the party, I will transfer all of the shulker boxes to a dispenser, which will randomly spit one out per person.
-Once you have your new shulker box, you will go and stand in a circle with everyone else, and give the shulker to the person to your right. After that is done, you pay peek inside the shulker you got.
-If it is not satisfactory, you may trade with someone else, but I will not be overseeing it.
And that's all! I look forward to seeing you there! As an additional note, Ugly Sweaters *are* required for participation.
Extra Notes:
-I'm mega poor rn, if anyone can bring party food, please do. Otherwise we can all go with what we brought. I probably won't be able to provide much though.
- Location will be provided the day of the party, but it's a bit of a walk. Bring protection. Outside my wall is not lit at all.
(I will add more info as required)
