Coldplaying festival

[Telepian]

On another forum I'm on we had a forum wide festival which contained several contests and tournaments and special events.
Paradise and Mylo Xyloto are coming out soon so I thought we could celebrate the arrival of the new album.

Here are some ideas I've thought of. I would also like some more ideas of things we can do.

Art contest (Drawing/Digital)
Original song contest
Cover song contest
MX mystery
loldplay contest
Music video contest
festival chat room

The festival will start as soon as we get all the events organized.

PS: It would be really awesome if we could get some official coldplay person on the festival chat room. It probably won't be one of the boys, or even someone like The Oracle or roadie#42. We'd be lucky if we got some random roadie, but it would still be cool. Will several of you please ask the oracle if we can do this?

PS: This week we will be thinking of ideas for events, next week we vote on which events to keep and which ones we don't keep, after that we plan who will be in charge of which event and what prizes will be for the contests. The time may be shortened or extended depending on how much time we have.

this is awesome :awesome:

[Juanma]

Quite interesting!

[Skin&Bones]

I'll ask!!!

[MrMagpie]

You could rename the Lolplay award the Briggins award because I like to make fun of Coldplay and hate them with every bit of my skin and bones.

[Stv]

Genius idea!!

I sometimes, but only some rare times do the same... but not on the Internet

[VIVA.42]

nice

I'm sorry to hear that, but there is still hope for you.

May you discover the awesomeness of Coldplay in the future.

I'm just playing up the stereotype that I hate Coldplay.

[Skin&Bones]

^
Wait... so you don't actually hate them?

[MrMagpie]

Why would I?

[anacaren08]

This festival thing sounds awesome! :D

[Telepian]

Do we have any more ideas for events we can do?

[admnistramation]

Eh. I dunno. By the time it comes out I think I'll be bored of the board or the album itself.

[Skin&Bones]

Why would I?

I don't know! :D That's why I was confused... why would someone who hates Coldplay be on a Coldplay fansite?

But this festival thing rocks!!

:facepalm:

Well, I'm sure you'd find the answer if you make a quick search or just browse around the forum.

[Skin&Bones]

Really?? That's sad...

[macky]

The festival doesn't start until October!!?? This is an online festival, we can make it happen in few days.

[macky]

Really?? That's sad...

Briggins was just kidding. He is a comic who plays a Coldplay hater but he loves them probably more than you do.

[Skin&Bones]

^ Oh haha, that's cool.

[Lore]

Really?? That's sad...

what is sad?

[Skin&Bones]

what is sad?

Oh... well I thought you meant if I searched the forum I'd find Coldplay haters. That's what I thought was sad. :P

[Lore]

Oh... well I thought you meant if I searched the forum I'd find Coldplay haters. That's what I thought was sad. :P

No, you'd find the reason why people stay here even if coldplay is not their favorite band anymore (or even if they dislike them now). This is a pretty cool place.

[Juanma]

There are haters yes...

Many

they stay on the forum

Here's an argument I had with myself today.

I should make a coldplaying festival in october since that's when the album is released.

It's too early to start it now, it's only august.

I think I'll start it later

but I might forget about it, there's a bit of planning to do and I want to make sure we have enough time

Ok I don't need THAT much time.

How much time do I need?

I better start planning now so I don't have to worry about it.


I guess we could start the festival when all the planning is done.

Ok! But you dont have to do all the planning yourself.
How about you choose the activities and then some of us will volunteer to organize them. You can still have the last say and the volunteers will have to present you their ideas first, so you'll make the final decision. Let's divide and conquer!
I will help because I think this is a terrific idea. And if we start in the next 2 weeks or so, that will make the waiting for MX less painful.

[anacaren08]

would it be too long to wait until paradise comes out?
cuz that would give us something to talk about and be excited for right?


cant wait for that song to come out, im nervous. that song will give us a clue if we will like the album or not...

Sounds like a awesome idea. Don't we have Debs on the forum?

[Samuel_94]

^ Great idea!!

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

:surprised: Sounds like a cool idea!

I also have a suggestion about the art contest portion: maybe we could split that into two subcategories, i.e. free-hand drawing with pencil/paper and Photoshop/computer artwork and then pick a winner from each?

[Twisted mind]

I just read Art Contest and that's enough for me to be convinced :awesome:

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ That's what got me excited, too! :laugh4:

[Twisted mind]

LOL! Drawing Coldplay related stuff is always fun :awesome:

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

Always :nod:

[coldplay♪♫♪]

awesome
:)

[Brightspacegirl]

Sounds great!:D

I was planning on getting others to organize the events. I would like to have a few more ideas for events before we get started. So I'm going to wait a few days before we start organizing events.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

:awesome: idea
i think for some categories could be some subcategories as for cover, distinguish between music and video.

[rainplay]

Ooh I'll draw something!

This sounds fun

[Telepian]

I like the idea for subcategories. I don't get what you mean with music and video. Is this for the cover song contest? Is the video subcategory for making music videos? A music video isn't really a song cover. It should be a separate contest, not a subcategory.

ah, yeah i meant there are some fans that do a video of the songs, i remember many from the viva la vida era, but is not them playing the music, i meant that.

Congratulations on getting the 42nd reply.

[chuck kottke]

A Release Festival :joker:
Sounds like fun!!!
