You should seriously consider rescheduling, there is already another impalong taking place on NFI during this time period.

transportation to the impalong makes for a great christmas gift

[Blueheart 172]

So you're setting up an Impalong, at the same time that someone else is going to be doing one, when they have already done all of the prep work, and organised everything to be ready, and you haven't even got anything done yet?

Do the right thing, move yours to a different time and respect the work someone else has already put in to their event

 

You aren't going to get helpers this way, you're going to only ruin your own reputation, and set yourself up for disappointment once the other event starts

 

It's not competition, it's just disrespectful

[Morbidae 417]

There is not just the one on Melody over Christmas but also one in January on Cadence you are currently messing with.

 

[Tpikol 1,057]

if you dont know which impalong to go to, please consider this.

I wish there was dislikes for forums like this, Sabrinawaveshadow's impalong has been in the works and planning for months, vendors and impers have been planning and getting ready for it... Hopefully this gets cancelled or at the least moves to a more respectful time.

[Crack 408]

The lack of information and paragraphing burns my eyes. 

 

But on a serious note, I know both parties hosting the two impalongs planned around christmas, theyve put in a massive amount of work for months organising both events, personally i think its bad form to suddenly try to host one yourself over the top of both.

 

From your post it sounds like you've not prepared at all and this is a spur of the moment idea youve had, youve failed to even mention where said impalong will be.

Full steam ahead. You have my Libila blessings.

Hopefully May 14th is a more respectful time, Damm I can't even spell!

[Tristanc 571]

May's a much more thoughtful time out of respect for the other NFI Impalongs going on during the approaching holiday season.

 

Of course, it needn't be as far away as May if you don't mind rescheduling for a nearer day like February or March?

 

[Zachariah 736]

May is a great time of year to be having this. If I can give some recommendations, take a look at some of the other impalong threads in years past. Maybe talk to some other people who have hosted impalongs. 
 

As someone who has hosted an impalong on SFI and been on staff at a number of impalongs over the years, there is A LOT of prep that goes into events such as this. Not just building the buildings, but collecting supplies, designing and building a number of games to keep people interested, and collecting prizes to give people an incentive to come other than to get their items improved. From the looks of it you have accomplished part of this prep, however, you also can’t rely on other people to assist in this prep. You should be able to collect all the materials and design and finance all the games.  As great as this community is, it is integral to collect the materials yourself and supplement with donations. 
 

If I can also give some unsolicited organizational advice. Your OP isn’t that organized and doesn’t give a lot of information on the impalong itself, such as location, events/games, the deed layout, etc. Again, take a look at some of the previous years impalongs (I’ll link some good threads below) and take a bit of inspiration from those posts. Formatting yours in an easy to read way that flows will increase the amount of people that show up. 
 

Feel free to hit me up if you would like to discuss more. I would be happy to consult on your project. I am passionate about impalongs and the value they bring to the community, when done correctly. 
 

 

These are two long running impalongs both in their 6th and 4th consecutive years respectively. You can garner a lot of inspiration from these two successful events that have hundreds of people in attendance every year.
