Happy Valentines Day Menewsha!!!
This year I'm so happy to be able to host an official stickied event thread!
If you were around for my last even thread you already know how this game works, don't fret if you weren't however! It's super easy and (hopefully) fun!
Below you will find a scratch card game, a crossword, and a word search! All have prizes so if one isn't your cup of tea, hopefully something will be~ (yes, that rhymed)
Each activity will be explained in their respective posts.
Have fun, be kind, and have a great event! :D
Mules are allowed!

Each card will have 3 hidden hearts
(not actually hidden in the picture)
They will be revealed on the last day of the event and will fill the entire square, just like a real life scratch card where you scratch away the covered image Example of a scratch card
Your goal is to guess which number squares they are in :D
You have to the last day of the event to post any/all of your guesses in this thread. You can do one or a few a day or all at once.
You can guess 4 numbers for each picture.
That way you have an extra chance at getting all 3 correct squares :3
I (with some help from ghostPastry) created a Mene/Valentine specific crossword!
This one is a little harder than the last event. Some things you might have to look for.
Don't be scared though, a quick look thru the Event Archive Forum should shed some light!
(towards the end of the event I'll give out hints for those who need extra help )
All participants will receive 500 gold, which they will receive at the end of the event.
To play, either save the picture and write the words into the boxes, or if you'd prefer you can just type a list of the corresponding number/answers. Then send it to me in a PM with the title Crossword.
This cross word has some answers that are more than one word. For those, count the spaces as a box.
E.G. If the answer was "Valentines Day" it would be 14 characters/boxes long.
(That is not a real answer in this puzzle)

All participants will receive 500 gold.
To play, save the picture and circle, cross out, or color the letters of each word. Then upload it to an image hosting site and send it to me in a PM with the title Word Search.
Participation Prize will be sent to you when the event is over.
Second word is BoqBoq (the NPC Boq Boq) It is an O followed by a Q)

Large sconces between the red and gold drapes are on full power, cute little hearts casting their shadows against the frosted glass as the brilliant light inside shines. Across the floor of the event center are rows of cushions and short tables with coasters and stationery.*
Hoho… It’s so nice to see everyone again! I had so much fun with all of you at the 2022 Festival of Winter Nights reunion! So many familiar faces and so many fun memories that were made. Not to mention all the nice things that were found for everyone by the hard working cleanup crew. *chuckles*
Oh but, I am getting ahead of myself...
*Magnus stops in front of you, one hand behind his back, the other resting comfortably as he grips his lapel. Although he towers above you, you still feel an aura of invitation and delight.*
Welcome, hoho! Welcome to the Venerable Retrospection: A Valentine's Day Celebration! Please take a seat. The evening's preparations are nearly done! We will soon begin the inspection of the Time Capsule we found at the town hall over the Festival of Winter Nights. *chuckles* Some of you got much too excited and ended up breaking open a wall. But wouldn't you know it? There was something hidden inside! Hohoho!
*Magnus walks away, head back as his shoulders shake in mirth. You turn your attention to the rows of seating and find a comfortable spot to settle down. On the table next to your cushion is a program of the nights events. Reading through, you see quite a few things on the list. The first "Act" of the night is a... Memoria? Followed by the opening of the Time Capsule Magnus mentioned followed by a series of remembrance programs. On the back of the program you are surprised to find a list of participation events! Hmm... It seems to list prizes as well!
As the lights begin to dim, you settle into your seat, adjusting your legs to a more comfortable position. Refreshments are brought around to all the tables. You can't help but feel a buzz of excitement begin to wind up in your chest. An energy you haven't felt in a long time electrifies your limbs with restless desire. You wonder about the Time Capsule... Just exactly what might be inside?*

Welcome to the Venerable Retrospection: A Valentine's Day Celebration!
This thread will serve thricely, first as a Hangout, second as a Story Time, and third as a special event activity aimed to offer you the ability to gain access to some very old Menewsha Event Items from years long past.
In the function of a Hangout, Please converse to your heart's content here and enjoy each other's company perhaps even make some new memories! Stay tuned for the second function of this thread! Over the course of the event, we will be releasing the contents of the Time Capsule as they become available in a story time format. *chuckles* I do hope you enjoy what we have in store for you!
The last function of this thread is reminiscent of when Baby Xan came into the world! *chuckles* In that same style, I have prepared for you a list of Past, Present, and Future themed tasks for you all to complete. If you should complete enough of these, you will earn the ability to pick a single EI from any of the Menewsha Eras. Pick wisely though for this chance is a rare one! Hmhmhmm!
In order to earn the right to choose an EI item, you must earn 24 points.
Should you choose to go above and beyond and earn 30 points or more, you will be offered a second EI choice from the 2010 era and beyond.
You have until the end of the event. Good luck!
Rules
Rules are as follows.
In all things, please follow and respect Menewsha's Terms of Service and Rules
Only one account per person. (Staff-approved Charity Mules may participate for their charities, however)
All work must be your own and created specifically for this thread (Reusing old content will not carry you through to the end)
Any photos or videos you take must include your username in the photo or video itself,
An easy way to do this is to write your username on a slip of paper and stick it in the scene before you shoot. Please don't edit it in digitally afterward, as it will make the entry look suspicious and we'll have to reject it.
I would be remiss if I did not thank Bellybutton and Captain Howdy for inspiration, layout, and even some of this text! Hoho!

(10 Points) Family Videos?... Most of us have those old grainy videos with the shaky camera work. It is nearly a household tradition is it not? If you do not, that is ok. Especially because that is what this is all about. With the filters available to us today, this should be no problem. Make a 1980s styled film, comic strip, or slideshow, no longer than 3 minutes, that adequately depicts your childhood and your favorite moments growing up(There is a lot of creative license to this one! Have fun!)
(8 Points) – Wordy Recitals… Retelling a story is part of creating a living memory that you can pass down from generation to generation. It is funny how those retold stories can sometimes become bigger fish than what was actually caught! Retell a memory from your Menewsha history for our benefit, making sure to embellish a bit! How is up to you but I do hope it is entertaining! (500 words minimum. Include in it a reference link for the original un-embellished story. And, if it involves other users, please be kind )
(6 Points) – Artist’s Rendition... Do you have a memory here on Menewsha that you just love to go back and revisit from time to time? Why not immortalize it… Using whatever artistic medium you would like, recreate a moment in time from Menewsha involving yourself. (This memory must be from before 2023)[color=red]Please remember to include your username somewhere in the pic!
(4 Points) – Sharing is caring… I am sure you have plenty of memories of Menewsha! Share here at least 5 memories that happened in a quotable post featuring yourself and quote them all in a single post in this thread. (+1 Bonus point if one of those memories is a memory that influenced a positive outcome in your life) Please remember to quote any old text copy and pasted to a new post!
(2 points) – Remember that time… I have a few memories here on Menewsha that I often retell. They aren’t all mine though. Link to or retell an old memory that just tickles your fancy every time you think of it from here on Menewsha. (One story per submission please

So… Let’s make some new memories!
(10 Points) Effigy Adventures... It's hard these days to not experience loneliness. But there are ways to combat it! Take for instance the wonderful NPCs here in Menewsha! Take your favorite Menewsha NPC and create a real life representation of that NPC. It could be a doll, or a mechanical construct, perhaps even made of twigs and leaves! *chuckles* As long as it is a recognizable Menewsha NPC, it counts. Take that Effigy and show us what a day looks like between you and your best effigy friend! (Much like a date, you must create your Effigy and organize/document with picture or video the best day ever of two besties hanging out)
(8 Points) – Together Forever… Memories are often best shared with others. Where are you headed this week? Who with? Doing something fun? Hoho! I don’t need to know these things. But if you are making some memories with someone, record it through some medium or another, something that you could and would want to share here on Menewsha. Get creative! Montage… Time lapse… Cute paper cutouts of your avatar and all the places you visit!
(6 Points) - Don't Force It... Making new memories can be difficult. The important thing is to not force it. If it can be helped... Do your best to make an unforced memory with at least 2 other Menewshans. It probably will end up being forced... But that is alright. It is after all, the point of this challenge. It is supposed to blow up in your face! (This challenge can be shared with at least 3 people. Imagination required and encouraged!)
(4 Points) – Fancy Fortifications… Some memories can be a little bit scary to remember… Show us how you protect yourself from them by building a fort! Pillows and blankets or wood and leaves, it’s up to you how you want to build it. You must be able to fit at least half your body inside. Finally, take a picture of you with your legs sticking out of said fort to share on Menewsha. Please remember to include your username somewhere in the picture!
(2 Points) – Loving Life… Hoho, life is quite an adventure no? Often in our everyday lives we can be stuck in the past or lost in the future when all around us is a moment that can still bring a contented happiness if one but looks hard enough. Create an avatar that illustrates the following statement: “I have everything I
need to live a full, happy life.”

(10 Points) – Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey… Time is such an interesting concept. To think it can be bent by gravity boggles the mind! Hoho… I find when time stands still to be the most interesting though, like memories frozen in time, waiting to be discovered. I think you know where I’m going with this… Make a Time Capsule for your future self to discover! You must include:
A postive not for yourself to read in the future
At least one memory from this event
A printout or drawn picture of your avatar with your username
Something for your future self to play with
Something to pay for the Time Capsule’s passage through time
Anything else you would like to be inside
Be conscious of items you put inside so it will last! I highly recommend moisture packets if you have any saved.(It is up to you how long you would like to wait to open your Time Capsule but I recommend 10 or more years)
(8 points) – Future Plans Scrapped… I have found that having a place now where you can put your memories yet to be revealed makes it more trivial to document those important moments in your life. Start a scrapbook (or journal) but make it flashy. Add in any appropiate memories of your year so far then pre-decorate pages and get them ready for that last snow of the season or the first ray of sunshine that truly feels like summer. Share your result with us! Please make sure to include your username somewhere on your memory keeping device
(6 Points) – 2005 Is Calling… Maybe you know what is about to happen next? Hohoho… I have provided you with a list of 250 questions. To earn these 6 points, you must answer at least 100 questions that you must share here on Menewsha But you must be sure to save this list for your future self! (You can pick and choose which questions. Please put your questions in the code provided below when you post)

(4 Points) – Not Yet an Item… Items one of the core mechanisms that keep our Menewsha economy going. Coming up with new clothes to sell involves quite a bit of effort! Using your avatar as a template, create and color a pixel item you wish Menewsha had in it’s inventory of items. NOTE: Your item must be something that the site has never seen in any shop (That is to say, copying a poncho from the import shop and changing the colors would NOT be considered a new item. Using incomplete images you have previously created is allowed as long as they are finished for this task.)
(2 Points) - Keeper of Memories… As we get older it gets harder to hold together so many memories. [b]Create an avatar that illustrates the following statement: “I am the Keeper of Memories. Look at me and fear my awesome memory!”

And, omigawsh do we have some totally cool categories for you! This contest is all about checking out cool styles from the past and putting a rad twist on them! We have three categories for you, each requiring different levels of consideration/patience/time.. Soooo, totally go check out the next few posts for more deets!
And like, I'll get the "rules" out of the way first:
Please follow Mene's ToS & Rules
Please save and host your entries using a reliable image host such as IMGUR.
You can totally use the Dream Avatar Creator (DAC) for your entries, but like don't edit your image file. If it ain't a Mene inventory item it totally doesn't count! (Like, that ugly gray-bar will be there if you use the DAC, but I can still totally see how rad your fashion is through it!)
Prizes:
1st place in any category: 5000gold
2nd place in any category: 2500 gold
3rd place in any category: 1000 gold

Notes:
Colors of equipped hair, skin, eyes, and other custom facial features/makeup will count against this limit, but natural colors (e.g. what you can do in the Avatar panel) won't.
Choose a shade of Red and stick with it. Minor variations will probably pass, but if you give me an avatar with two very different Reds (Like Cardinal and Strawberry), one of those will have to count as your accent color. Soooo make good choices!
You can totally submit two color entries per person.
Hint: Like, white totally works as an accent color. Totally obvs choice! It won't be rejected, but rad alternatives are SOOOO much more exciting!

This one'll be a totally rad challenge! -- Like, you'll need a ton of imagination! Here are the deets:
Tonight's like, the big reveal of the Time Capsule! We're totally asking people to come up and showcase traditional outfits from their culture or even like, just something you see as traditional for you. Here is where things get sooooo tricky! There aren't any changing rooms at the community center! Soooo... You have to totally head to the Valentine's Day dance right afterwards. That means that the only outfit changes you can make are like the three items you were able to stuff into your backpack!
To show this transformation, you'll need to submit:
Your Traditional Outfit. (The showcase of your culture or family traditions, real or not)
Your altered "Dance Party" avatar. This will be your traditional avatar plus and minus three equips. (This means you must remove three equips, and then add three different equips to achieve your new look.)
Notes:
You can totally change your hairstyle! (but like, the color has to stay the same - no time for a dye job!) Alsoooo, facial expression between entries can only be changed using the Avatar Panel; any equippables will totally count against your three item limit. (Ex: if you have custom work eyes and remove them, it counts as a removed item.)
Only one entry per person for this category.
Example:
Good luck!

Like, we've all been together on Menewsha for a long time! I'm so happy to call many of you friends and like, you are such nice peeps! I soooo have a ton of totaly rad memories with all of you!
For this category, I totally want you and a partner(s)to cosplay a memory of the past here on Menewsha! It is totally up to you what memory or moment! Like, it could even be a recreation of an old group entry from past contests! Whatever it is, just make sure it's totally awesome!
Notes:
This is a cosplay category - you can totally dress up as Menewsha NPCs and recreate a moment from the past. Or like dress up as yourselves or other users! I expect there to be some creative license but like, try to keep the group true to the moment ya know?
This is a totally a group category - soooo if you don't have a partner(s) then users need not apply! That also means like, no poses of you with your mule. Totally post in here if you're looking for groupmates to do a rad group submission though!
You may participate in two group entries per person. (Like, a person can join and be part of two different group entries. Only one person in the group needs to actually submit the entry - all usernames will be included in the entry form.)
If you recreate a past group entry, at least 70% of the new entry needs to be different than the past entry. Group recreations won't go over well if they look too much like what they are trying to imitate.
If you recreate a memory in Mene history based on NPCs or Users, please be sure to add in what the memory is and explain how you have chosen to represent the moment with your avatars.

Our story: Undies are the bread and butter of Mene, so what better way to celebrate a Menewsha-exclusive event than in our undies? Join us for the Celes Paradi Panties Parade, presented by Vicktoria’s Secret and The Mayor, who we also convinced to attend in his undies. We have two of the three goddesses of Menewsha in attendance: Song beautifully serenading us all as we celebrate, and Feast cavorting around the dining tent, making sure everyone’s well-fed. Dance was going to be in attendance, but she twisted her ankle and didn't make it in time for the pictures. However, this event isn’t without its share of monstrous apparitions… you’ll find the Star Eater munching on some stars and forbidden treats in the back of the dining tent, and Abraxas plotting to crash the party from deep in the caverns beneath the island of Menewsha.
Users in group: Nephila as the Mayor, R u b y as Song, Kent as Feast, ghostPastry as Star Eater, Cora as Abraxas and sunoa as the dancer
users: Ruby, Antagonist and Salvete
