So who's thinking of joining me for our annual reenactment of the YWS mascot wars? For those who haven't heard of this before, every year we have a quiz show in chat and YWS members take the places of our two finalist mascot representatives - Bartemius the ape and Horace the dragon.

By facing off against each other in areas including general knowledge and literature, the two teams battle it out for honour.

We're going to kick off at * - that's tonight - and I expect everyone to be wearing their festive colours. If you're not sure what that means, just turn up and we'll help you choose a side ;)

See you guys there and Happy Birthday YWS!

*Times will adjust automatically to the timezone you have set for YWS.

My timezone is really sucky for these events. :( So I won't be there, but probably best for everyone else so they have the chance of getting all the answers right too.

I have to go to school, but I'll probably drop in briefly!
We're all stories in the end.

Oh, we did it, we did it, yeah :D

Go, Dragons! Go, @Iggy! Nice work, everyone (monkeys included).

It's also important to note that there was a tie between @Iggy and @steampowered, so in the end both were winners.

Can't wait till next year (:
