I thought it might be spiffy to have 4 smaller weekly contests in April to keep the momentum going and to have more opportunities to give our hard-working members some shiny gifts, supplied right from Blaize's own pocket.
Rest assured these contests will be low-strain on my poor mods and they will also be less involved for whoever is entering them, so that everyone can still focus on the big ones.
Details will be posted Monday, March 30, (when the first weekly starts) and the last weekly will start Monday, April 20.
Weeks will run from Monday to Sunday.
Monday, March 30- Sunday April 5
Guild recruitment contest!
Get as many people as you can to join the TDM guild. When you refer a person, have that person state in their join request that it was you that sent them.
Our lovely event mod TomorrowsQueen will be keeping track of this, so you can be sure your referrals will be counted.
The competition is going to be fierce!! Winner will recieve 50k. W00t!
Please remember to direct the people you manage to drag here over to the thread if they want to join a team. To join a team they must post in the TDM thread saying what team they want! Do not PM requests to me.
Winners: Wood Sorrel & The_Cereal_Queen! Congratulations!
Monday, April 6-Sunday, April 12

Gaia
Everyone entering the Gaia contest will submit ONE tektek via PM to the event mule. The avi must be color-themed to your team. (Yes, other colors are allowed, but it must be obvious what team you're representing.) If you do not have a team, you cannot enter the contest. You won't be allowed to edit or replace your entry so make sure you have it perfect before submitting. The deadline for entries is April 25. Remember that any entries sent before April 1st WILL BE DELETED. Winners will be one from each team and one overall.
IRL!
The guidelines for the IRL contest are a bit more flexible than the Gaia one. The most important element is creativity. Your entry can be a picture of you in team garb, or it could be something team-related that you made. It could be color-coordinated or related to the part of the body. (For example, a person representing Brain Cancer could do something with the color grey or with brains, or both.) Your entry can be light-hearted or serious. Also, you are allowed to send in as many entries as you want, and the entries can be photo and video. Be sure to indicate who you are with a sign or verbal confirmation or else we can't credit the entry to you. The deadline for entries is April 25. Remember that any entries sent before April 1st WILL BE DELETED. Winners will be one from each team and one overall.
Entries for the IRL contest will be sent to Blaizekit.
Spirit!
The spirit contest is based on how organized and enthusiastic your team is. There are a lot of ways a team shows their spirit. They take the initiative to recruit more people, hold their own contests, and organize meetings in Towns and basically act as if they genuinely care about awareness of their type. Due to the nature of this kind of contest, we want to make sure that the people doing these things aren't out for personal gain. Because of that, there is no Gold prize for this. The team that me and the mods deem "most spirited" will recieve a real-life donation for their type.
