PLANNING
Greetings, folks! Coming this February is this year's Love-is-in-the-Air Festival, and as usual, we'll be having the community decide on the festival's location and games! Two polls are being planned on community input as to what this festival would entail, the first being on location itself. 2014 had Thousand Needles, 2013 was in Winterspring, and 2012 was in Shimmering Flats. This year, 5 locations are proposed for a possible place for the festival, based on terrain (the ground has to be relatively flat for spawning stages, tables, and platforms) and game/event ideas.
1.) Lost Rigger Cove, Tanaris

The festival theme would be that of the beach, with events ideas including surfing/swimming, sand castle building, burying your partner in the sand, luaus, and dance competitions. Lodging will be provided either in the ship or in the nearby houses. IC, this can take place in a goblin town along Tanaris or some area in Ratchet.
2.) Timbermaw Hold/Lake Kel'theril (Winterspring)

An old but beloved location, this can be a repeat of 2013 but with more event ideas. Some include snowman building, snowfort/snowball fighting, ice skating contest, cave exploration, and so forth. Lodging will be provided either at the ruins or near the hot springs. This is still Winterspring IC, but at a hot spring resort.
3.) Scalawag Point/Isle of Spears (Howling Fjord)
Spoiler:

A nearly wholly new location, with some snow-themed events mixed with beach. Event ideas include ice-island hopping, winter swimming, and ice fishing. Some ideas from Winterspring can be carried over here as well. Lodging will take place among the pre-existing buildings or some more spawned.
4.) River's Heart (Sholazar Basin)
Spoiler:

Jungle-themed events will be the focus here, especially along the river itself. Waterfall diving, white-river rafting, and vine climbing/swinging are among the event ideas here, alongside any carried over from Lost Rigger Cove if this is selected over that one. Lodging will have to be spawned along River's Heart itself.
5.) Darkmoon Faire (Darkmoon Island)
Spoiler:

Though this would take place onto the fairgrounds, the Festival itself would be sponsored by TLE. Events are likely carnival based, with ring tossing, gallery shooting, mechanical bull riding, etc., as event ideas. Lodging will be tricky, but I think I can figure something out.
The poll will remain open until Thursday, January 15. You can select up to two events in this poll, with the location with the highest votes selected as the winner for this year's place. Event idea proposing will begin after this poll is closed.
Happy voting!
