Welcome to the Kalidore Karrot System!
To celebrate our re-launching of the RP, we're bring back the Kalidore Karrot System. This is a monthly raffle draw where tickets are procured through participation in the RP. While major RP awards will still be handed out at the story's conclusion, each month, every person who contributed will now have an additional chance at some cool prizes!
How do I participate?
For each qualifying rp post made during the week, one raffle ticket will be entered under your name, up to four per week. Therefore, everyone who writes that month will be assured a chance at the prize, and the more your write, well - the more chances you have to win!
What is a "Qualifying Post"?
In order to qualify, an rp post must be of reasonable length (ie, more then a few lines) and contain proper english. But more than just quantity is required to win multiple tickets, we'll be considering the quality of those posts, too! Things like: did this post further the characters' development? interact with other players' characters? contribute towards the rp as a whole? These are some of the questions we'll be considering when we read over your work, so be vigilant
Not that we're worried about anyone here, but we will remind that forum flooding is against the rules, and anyone doing this will be excluded from the tickets that week. Forum flooding is when someone posts repeatedly to bump post count without really contributing anything substantial, or when when two players monopolize a thread with over-drawn back-and-forths between their characters.
If you're at all concerned about a post, feel free to drop us a line privately or share with us in the either general chatter thread; the motive for this activity is to foster group spirit and give your writing muse that extra nudge for 2012!
So, what's the prize?
Indeed, what would be a raffle without a shiny prize? Each month will be a different surprise item; sometimes it will be stone collections, or pets, or even unikore & custom vouchers! The prize pot will work on a sliding scale - the more people participating & quality entries = the bigger & better the prize! Either way, we don't think you'll be disappointed.
For this month, we thought we'd up the anti with this lovely prize:
A tantalizing Appaloosa Norden for one lucky RPer. And of course... more writers, more prizes, so what are you waiting for?
Del and myself will review each and every post at the end of the week, and assign raffle tickets accordingly; if you have any questions or concerns about your ticket count, don't hesitate to drop us a pm so we can discuss the matter.
We are including the last few days of May in with our June raffle, so you have a couple bonus days to work to your advantage Results will be posted each Sunday through to June 30th when our prize is drawn. So, dust off your keyboard and start earning your karrots!
