Title: Top 5 Give Away!
Lothlómendil - December 19, 2006 07:20 AM (GMT)
Wednesday, December 20th is Arda's Top 5 Holiday Giveaway! We have 5 special prizes cooked up for the top 5 posters of the day! The co-admins and I will be graciously excluding ourselves from the top 5, so don't worry if you see one of us in the top slots, we don't count because we're always filling requests and stuff that give us more posts - not fair to you all trying to earn an honest prize! We'll also be keeping 10 sets of extra sharp eyes out for spammers, so don't try and earn your way into the top 5 by posting a bunch in the forum games or welcoming everyone on earth, etc. You will be disqualified if there are issues with how you got to the top 5.
So, be sure to come and role-play your little hearts out Wednesday (tomorrow!), there will be some unique items to look forward to. It should be a good time since everyone will hopefully take extra care to show up and post, so look forward to some great activity!
The day will be over at around midnight in the GMT -5 time zone (my time zone), I'll be basing activity off of the stats I see on my own time zone, because it's really the only way I can keep track of it. :xmastongue: So, for you UK people and others, as long as you post a lot during the day while you're here it'll still carry over just fine. :xmassmile:

What about the people in China? :(
We barely have any time now and I'm bad with time zones. I'll have to go into overtime with my posting.
Also is this RP Posts or just overall?
Rallika - December 19, 2006 08:13 AM (GMT)
I'm in. I'll post as many times as I did before I had my break. That prize is mine! By the way, what are they? Are they secret? If they are then ok, I'm cool with that.

Convenient, as that is the day that I had planned for my two main character development topics, and his party.

Dmoney - December 19, 2006 02:34 PM (GMT)
Dang...im not going to be at a computer. *cries* well who ever wins i say good job....if i didnt have my net problem i would have won :xmasph34r:
Lance - December 19, 2006 04:54 PM (GMT)
Huh...creative way to help along our goal for 100,000 posts, I have to say. At this point, though, I'm not sure we'll get very far past 90,000...
Alba Meria - December 19, 2006 04:58 PM (GMT)
Now come on, dont talk like that :lol:
Tilorn - December 19, 2006 05:30 PM (GMT)
well i wont be compeating its my week off lol
Alba Meria - December 19, 2006 05:58 PM (GMT)
Puppet Boy - December 19, 2006 06:33 PM (GMT)
At this rate there will only be five people competeing.
P.S. Tilron is that an air freshener around you neck?

It'll have to be done per-account to be easiest to keep track of, and most fair as well. There isn't much I can do about people inconvenienced by living on the opposite side of the world outside of the advice I already gave, I don't have any other options. :no: And what's with the negativity, eh? :poke: There will be plenty of people and plenty of posting, so come have fun ^_^
Rask Atonis - December 19, 2006 06:56 PM (GMT)
Down with negativity! Feed the pessimists to Ita!!
Obsidian Nocturne - December 19, 2006 07:01 PM (GMT)
gahhhh I still have a finals pitch to accomplish---- too busy to even try :xmassad:
Xlyesia - December 19, 2006 10:49 PM (GMT)
Hey, this'll be fun. Good idea Lothy. You can count me in on it! I'm thinking we should have one of these every month, to increase activity. Just a thought.
Can't wait to recieve that prize... :xmassnowman:
Alba Meria - December 19, 2006 11:09 PM (GMT)
Having one every month would be hard work unless it was the same items used again, also the idea of an event is for it to happen only a few times :lol:
Xlyesia - December 19, 2006 11:20 PM (GMT)
Like I said, just a thought. :xmasgrin:
Obsidian Nocturne - December 20, 2006 01:02 AM (GMT)
Although it's a good idea I personally like the thought that it only happens once in a while seeing that Arda has already a pretty stable number of members to keep it going.
Alba Meria - December 20, 2006 01:04 AM (GMT)
Yeah, and if that event happened every month you would maybe get alot of spam in the games forums and stuff, we want to get to 100K through more RP posts ^_^
Obsidian Nocturne - December 20, 2006 01:21 AM (GMT)
gah this should have an extension! (not gonna happen I know)
I can't make any rp posts today since I still have a defense to squeeze through combined with the fact that I haven't slept in over 48 hours. And with that said, I shall take my leave off this thread and focus on my studies!
Demetrio Vasquez - December 20, 2006 03:32 AM (GMT)
So, just a few more hours until the event begins right?
Its already the 20th where I live :devil:
Original Sin - December 20, 2006 04:35 AM (GMT)
There could be money rewards. It doesn't take away from this being special because it's not some super rare item or something cool like that, and it could be given to the top three posters of every month. Kinda like a "Member of the Month." We could even have a special forum where we put up photos of all the old winners.
Alba Meria - December 20, 2006 11:54 AM (GMT)
That sounds like a good idea ^_^
Obsidian Nocturne - December 20, 2006 12:52 PM (GMT)
ohhh... for a while there, I was like.. noooo can't join till I realized that EST is late by twelve hours when compared to my time. :xmasdry:
Alba Meria - December 20, 2006 12:56 PM (GMT)
Aaris - December 20, 2006 03:45 PM (GMT)
Sorry Obs, just try your best that is what matters, just trying means everything ^_^ As long as you try, your rock in my book XD lol
Xlyesia - December 20, 2006 04:08 PM (GMT)
I hate that being at school today takes away from me posting... :(
Xlyesia loves posting on Arda.. :)
Lothlómendil - December 20, 2006 04:13 PM (GMT)
But also in your favor, a large majority of the members here are also in school, so it's a pretty level playing field ^_^
Alba Meria - December 20, 2006 04:18 PM (GMT)
Lothlómendil - December 20, 2006 04:20 PM (GMT)
Alright, it's safe to say the competition is strongly under way, so I'll close this topic and let the RP fest get into full swing! :w00t:
Lothlómendil - December 21, 2006 03:57 AM (GMT)
A note to those participating, I've turned off permissions for posting in the games forum, and I'll be immediately closing any topics that get even a hint of spam or off topic :D
