POSTING AND ADVERTISING CONTESTS! (closed) Posted on November 3, 2018 at 07:00:52 PM by Shiva
It’s that time again! We are pleased to be holding another posting contest. Not only that, but in an effort to attract new players to TLI we are also going to hold an advertising contest at the same time. You can enter one, both, or neither - it's totally up to you, but if you enter both that's double the amount of prizes to win!
If you're not familiar with it or have forgotten, the basic idea for the posting contest is that you will get points for every post that you write, and the players that have the most points by the end will win a prize. The advertising contest works similarly: you will receive points for placing ads and affiliate requests on other RPG sites, and these will all be tallied at the end.
So here are the rules:
POSTING CONTEST RULES
1. Every in-character post is worth 1 point as long as it is at least 200 words long (note-style posts do not count).
2. Every roleplayed battle post (excluding the initial challenge and any note-style responses) is worth 5 points, regardless of the outcome. Dice roll battles do not count.
3. Every raid and escape attempt is worth 5 points for everyone involved - regardless of the outcome - from the point the raid or escape is initiated, up to (and including) the block. This is for the raid as a whole rather than each individual post. Any reaction post that follows the block is worth the usual 1 point.
4. To participate, simply reply to this thread (make sure you use a password so that you can update the same post) and tally up your posts and points over the next week. Make sure that you provide a link to each post as evidence so that we can check the totals are correct before we announce the winners.
ADVERTISING CONTEST RULES
1. Every ad placed on another site is worth 1 point.
2. Every affiliation request placed on another site is worth 1 point, and a successful application is worth 3 points.
3. Only advertisements and affiliate requests placed on ACTIVE sites (sites that have had member activity in the last month) count.
4. Duplicate ads and affiliate requests are not allowed. If someone has beaten you to a site, you cannot post on it again.
5. Please follow other sites' rules regarding posting ads and affiliate requests (e.g. posting on the right board, avoiding spamming) and be respectful at all times. If a site has no specified or obvious place for ads or affiliate requests, please leave them be rather than posting in the wrong place. Remember, when you advertise you are acting as a representative of TLI.
6. Be sure you use the right code. Many sites use BB code and our ad will not display correctly on them unless the code has been converted. If you are unsure how to do this, you can find tutorials and automatic converters via Google.
7. To participate, simply reply to this thread (make sure you use a password so that you can update the same post) and tally up your ads and affiliate requests over the next week. Make sure that you provide a link for each one as evidence so that we can check the totals are correct before we announce the winners.
PRIZES
The winners of the contests (first, second, and third place for each) will win a prize of their choice. These prizes cover just about every aspect of the game and include advantages in battles and raids, protecting your territories, and in customizing any future foals just the way you want them. We will provide the full list of available prizes when we announce the winners, but you can search for previous contests to see examples of the prizes we offer. Those who win prizes have their winnings listed on the legends page for reference; these are struck through once they have been used. So if you have an interest in earning useful perks, you should get involved!
These contests will both run for exactly two weeks' time, starting now until November 17th, board time. Any posts made after that point will not count, and be sure you have all your links tallied up before then so there are no delays.
Let us know if you have any questions; otherwise get going! <3 Replies: There have been no replies.
