A very late happy new year to everyone from the Ubers room!!

For our event, we're doing the same tournament on two different dates and times to give players in all timezones a reasonable chance to participate in at least one of them:
  1. Sunday, February the 9th - 10:00AM GMT+0
  2. Sunday, February the 16th - 06:00PM GMT+0

USUM Ubers Tournament - Winner of each tournament gets 12 points and the runner up gets 6 points. However, bonus points are also available if you bring snake-themed Pokemon! The popular ones being Rayquaza, Zygarde, Giratina, and Gyarados! But even the lesser viable yet snake-like Pokemon will get you those bonus points (ehem Serperior).

The finalist with more snakes on their team will get 4 bonus points, and the one with fewer (non-zero) snakes will get 2 bonus point. If both players have same non-zero number of snakes, the winner will get 4 points and runner up will get 2 point. If only one player brings snake Pokemon then they'll get full 6 points!
 
New year is a special time no matter which one you celebrate, it's a way to start fresh and welcome new beginnings. Get out and help clean your local community with the Pokémon GO room's GO Collect Trash event!

As a participation event is an easy way to score 5 LNY points each week no matter what your time zone is.
 
This Lunar New Year, from February 14-16 (GMT), Survivor on PS! is calling all lucky players to assist with defeating the Boss Snake that has descended upon our room! In this event, you must win Survivor games to have a chance at dealing damage to the Boss Snake. The top damage dealers to the Boss Snake will earn up to 24 LNY points.

Hello everyone. With this post, the Lunar New year event concludes.

Huge congratulations to Silveste!!
For winning 2025 Lunar New Year Celebration, with the huge ammount of 177 points!

Enormous congratulations too to The Hisui Region for the 2nd place.

You'll both be contacted soon to claim the prize.

I would also like to thank all the involved rooms, who did their best to make this event happen, thank the admins to let us do this event, and thank my partner ney too for the organization.

It's always a pleasure to host this festival, and this year has not been an exception.

Thank you so much to all of the participants to make this possible too- without players, no game can be played.

See you all next year!
 
Woot! Thank you for hosting the event, I'll see you guys next year!

Edit: I made this original post at 12am or so and wrote something short, but editing to write a bit more.

Thank you for Yveltal, Arya, and neycwang for hosting event as well as all the rooms who took part in hosting the room events! Shout outs to my friends at the Library (Redshift the goat hosting in multiple rooms) as well as TV and Films (love you Zip!). It was my first time in a lot of rooms, and I enjoyed learning and playing a lot of the games there. It was fun collecting all the room prize winners. I don't know what the record is, but I had 6 at one point, somehow getting / losing the video games rpw but forgetting to screenshot. Congrats also to THR for 2nd, hope you enjoy your prize as well! See y'all next year!
