Medium he/they Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) November 26th is the beginning of this year's Ookla season (I'm fairly certain) There is no 2020 or 2021 thread, but there are older 2017, 2018, and 2019 threads. it's time for a 2022 thread!!! This will be my first participation in Ookla season! Just thought I'd share. And now, a History of Ookla Season; Way back in the before times (70's and 80's) Peter Ahlstrom was born on November 26, and Brandon Sanderson was born on December 19. To celebrate this, on the 26th of November, we Sharders change our names to Ookla the "____" from then until December 19, Brandon's birthday, also known as Koloss Head Munching Day. Thus it has been. Thus it will be. Forever and always. Edited November 22, 2022 by CalanoCorvus 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Order he/him Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 this is because Peter's (TWG?) username was once upon a time Ookla. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Misting he/him Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 After changing mine to Ookla the Kobold I realized few people will get what that is. But I get and like 5 D&D people, that's enough for me. Also I have to say, I saw a few Ookla's yesterday and simply thought everyone was insane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
