So what's the deal?
I. Why would I want to advertise for points?
You don't have to, but it sure is helpful cause staff are lazy with this stuff.
Basically: house points will be tallied at certain points, like at the end of the month or something similar, and the winner gets a few prizes.
These prizes are only available to the winning house and to active members. So you can't be inactive for three months, have your main character's house win, then jump back on to claim a prize.
Also, prizes are only available to the winning house characters, and the prizes can not be transferred to other characters.
Example: if you win a special release creature and give it to anyone but a character in that house, you will have the creature taken away with other punishments to follow.
Alright, but how do i get the points?
I. Advertising, getting affiliates, and recruiting
Advertising you go to other sites and post our advert, found here, and go to sites that don't have our advert on it.
It is vital you obey the advert rules of other sites and be polite if there is a problem. If they already have our advert, just go to the next site and don't double post. House points can be deducted.
If you decide to link back to a site that posted here first, please post in that advert thread ON HERE so staff will know you got to it.
Affiliating is a little more difficult. You must ASK STAFF MEMBERS HERE IF AN AFFILIATE IS OK BEFORE YOU ASK THEM TO AFFILIATE. Get that? Because some sites we may not want to affiliate with for some reason and it would be too awkward to say "oh, hey, sorry, a member didn't ask us first so we have to remove your aff. No hard feelings though, bro." After you ask us, and if we approve, you can ask for the affiliation. AND BE SURE TO LET STAFF KNOW IF WE NEED TO ADD THEIR BUTTON FIRST. THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. Great~.
ALSO NOTE WE HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF AFFS WE WILL ACCEPT. So always always ALWAYS check with staff.
Recruiting is where you get a member to join and make their first character. It is wise that this person isn't you on another account. Staff will know. SO! We require that the new member is active and creates a character that is accepted and used. WE ALSO ask that they talk with us in the shoutbox and not be hermits. Hermits are cool, don't get me wrong, but we need to ensure this member is going to be active. After they: make a character, the character gets accepted, post with the character, and maybe say hi in the shoutbox THEN you can get your house points.
Oh, and only advert/affiliate on PG-13 sites.
II. How much points do I get?
Advertisement: +1 point.
--Without proof: -1 point.
--Breaking advert rules of other sites: -2 points.
--Breaking any of our challenge rules; -5 points.
--Advertising on other site cboxes: -5 points.
--Pming members of other sites with the advert: -20 points + banned from future advert events for a certain amount of time.
Affiliate: +3 points (after both sites have button up).
--Not asking staff permission and approval: -3 points.
--Trying to aff with above PG-13 site: -5 points.
--Not respecting other site aff rules: -10 points.
Recruiting: +5 points.
--Faking a new member (pretending to be someone else): -15 points.
--The member going inactive right after they meet criteria: -5 points. (this does not count if they go inactive after being active for a few weeks. They just can't go inactive right after they meet the criteria).
--Pming members of other sites asking them to join: -20 points + banned form future advert events for a certain amount of time.
III. How do i track my adverts and stuff?
You do that here. This thread is not locked, so you can post below. It is advised you post with the character who's group you want to gain points. You can post with as many IC characters as you want, but we require that you have at least five different adverts on each of those post. YOU MUST PROVIDE A LINK TO ALL ADVERTS YOU MADE.
YOU CAN NOT copy and paste adverts from one IC account to another. They must all be different if you post with multiple IC accounts. If you fake the different adverts, all the house points from those characters will be deducted. So you'll ruin everyone's fun.
YOU CAN NOT post in an OOC account and direct staff to which house gets which points. You MUST have a character in the house that will gain points. It is advised you POST in an IC account. The points will go to that character's house unless otherwise stated by the poster.
IF YOU POST IN AN OOC ACCOUNT the points will be sent to a random group or ignored all together.
If you plan to break these very simple rules, it is advised you stick to posting for points.
If you have any questions, PM Dew (type 'admin' into your message thingy, not Dew, and leave out the 'apostrophes', so just admin).
