[SLOSHFEST] Sloshfest 4,"Sloshgiving," is on Saturday, November 12th. Also mini Sloshfest for Halloween. Details inside.

Hi, again, r/Splatoon. Amazingly, we're already on our fourth Sloshfest. Last one was my favorite, yet. Can't thank y'all or my Sloshfest partner, u/Rose94, enough for turning this silly idea into a thing with such staying power. More on that in a sec. Importantly, first, though...

#Sloshgiving will be held from Saturday, November 12th 12:00 pm noon CST (UTC-6) to Sunday November 13th 8:00 a.m. CST.

Daylight Saving Time ends a week prior in the U.S., so check this website to know exactly what time festivities start and end in your corner of the world.

#What is Sloshfest?

We've done this three times before so to save time:

We drink and play Splatoon together.

The first three Sloshfest threads should clarify additional details:

REMEMBER: You must be of legal drinking age in your country to be part of Sloshfest. You don't have to drink.

#IMPORTANT: Get on Discord.

#This Discord: https://discord.gg/0zQuQq56g171tWja

Ok, so I'm ashamed to admit it, but as co-creator of this event, only recently did I realize what a great community has built up around it. We've generally got around 40 people online at any one time, and it's active enough at night that we've been able to do full 8-person private battles most nights and have been having a blast. We also just play Turf together when there are fewer of us. It's full of great, fun people from all over that I'm proud to now call my friends. Come join us.

P.S. Don't be afraid of jumping on to voice chat with us. VC is the heart of normal Sloshfests, and it's fun times in between as well.

If you have questions about Discord, post them in here, and we'll get them answered.

#Merch: You having it this time?

Yeah. I've opened up the Teespring campaign for the shirts again. You've got about a week from me posting this to get your orders in.

Remember: You get a free Sloshfest patch if you order a shirt. Check the previous Sloshfest threads for details. Email me at splatoonsloshfest (at) gmail.com if you have questions, bought a shirt, or wish to purchase a patch individually for $5.

Remember #2: 90% of my profits from the shirts go to charity. This charity: Cat House On The Kings (Watch the videos on their website.)

#Why is it called Sloshgiving? I'm not American or Canadian.

Short answer: Laziness

Long, but still truthful answer: No, not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving, but I figured that makes for interesting conversation. Maybe you celebrate something similar or something completely different. Maybe you have no clue what an American or Canadian Thanksgiving is about. Come have a drink, play some Sploon, and chat about it with us. One of my favorite parts of Sloshfest is meeting and learning about people from all over the world.

#Sloshaween

Rook (/u/riotrook), regular of our Sloshfest community and infuriating Bubbler user, is throwing a mini Sloshfest on Halloween weekend that we're calling Sloshaween. insert joke here Details follow:

#Sloshaween will be held on October 29th from 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time to 2 a.m.

Yay! You're invited to a Halloween party now. And you don't even have to spend any effort dressing up.

Alright, guys. We'll see you at the next bash. And hopefully sooner. ;)

I bought a cheap headset just for this, let's hope I don't end up too shy to participate :w

I'm pretty shy too-the first sloshfest was the first time I ever played an online game with voice chat. However, it's a blast because this community is so great. Hope to see you there!

Another success! Perhaps Sloshmas is a few weeks?

Ok so I'm super excited about this but I've never done a team battle or discord so how does this work? I just made a discord account and clicked the add button on the top right corner and the code I copied was 4 letters short. How do we play together? Can you search for people on splatoon? I've never even clicked on the team page on the game.

I don't know what to tell you about the code being short. Maybe search for previous sloshfests.

Go on the discord and start adding people's NNIDs. Then we will make voice chat rooms to play in private battles. We play all modes and make up silly rules like rollers only or no subs/specials. It's a blast!

I just did the same thing and the code worked for me. I'll give it a shot

If anyone feels weird about the event being about thanksgiving when only 2 country's celebrate it, know that we did so factoring that it.

I myself come from a country that doesn't celebrate thanksgiving, but it still seemed like a nice theme for a nice community so roll with it.

Daylight saving time will still be in effect in the States for Sloshaween. So did you mean for Sloshaween to go from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. EDT which is only UTC-4?

For the record, I really don't like daylight saving time.

Yeah, it'll be Daylight Saving Time for Sloshaween, so plan on that. I'll change it to EDT in the description.

I might need to pull an all nighter to attend this Sloshfesh but the Halloween one is a no go for me :(.

Excellent. I haven't missed a sloshfest yet and I don't intend to miss these two.

Always been fun having you at them, Scones. I'll look forward to you brushing my ass to death at the next two. :)

Alright I'm confused. I click on the discord link above and it takes me to a code to copy. Where do I paste this code? I downloaded the app and signed up. I was told to add people's NNID's, where do I get those? The chat on discord? On the discord app it looks like I can only search for friends, an I suppose to friend someone to find the chat?

1
cid73•

Okay- Click on the menu, then you'll see an add icon (dotted circle with a + in the middle). Click on that and then "join a server" from the two options that will follow. You can paste the code there and y see some messages and such show up from there. I just joined and downloaded discord and all that. I've never done anything like this before and was able to do it with no problems.

Also, once you get there, it looks like there's a chat room where people post their nnids.

I got it, thanks. Wouldn't have found that without your walk through

Cool! Sounds fun, while technically I can drink alchohol, I don't drink them due to personal belief, is that okay?

Rose94brushie brushie brushie brushie•

That's absolutely fine, I half run the thing and I barely drink over the whole event.

2
cyncynshopNNID:•

Great!!! See you at Sloshfest!

2
SerialTimeKillerOPSloshmaster of Sloshfest. NNID:KwisatzHaterade•

Sure. We'd like to you to be legal age to drink, so it stays an adults-only event, but, you don't have to drink a sip. Just come have fun, and be prepared to hang out with drunk people.

One of these days I'll be able to make it. Not this semester, though. Life is too busy :(

SerialTimeKillerOPSloshmaster of Sloshfest. NNID:KwisatzHaterade•

I hope so, because I remember you being one of the first people being excited by the idea when it first came up. Well, we're going to continue with them, so you'll make it someday. Looking forward to it.

I've barely touched my Wii U all semester, but still have the bottle of Kraken rum waiting :)
