Event Launch: Monthly Contests

[LucentTear]

first of all... REEEE YOU STYOLE MY IDEAA!!

nah, idctbh. anyway, from past experience some condescending advice would be to hype this up as much as posbible, after all this is a month long event and it'd suck if it was just blank for a while. the world contest was really hyped but still had a lot of empty/wasted time in it i think. another thing is to be sort of picky with your staff members, but get a lot too. when i did my last contest i had like 12 people ask me to be judge, then maybe 6 or 7 got back to me when it came time to actually judge, and then the next month there was 1 or 2 left so the contest died.

anyway, this seems more thought out than mine, has decent (seemingly pointless atm) prizes, and probably a better staff so i think/hope itll do well. itd be exciting if this works, and inspires people to imrpove more and more and more and become the best they can be. full support 

The World Contest was mainly hyped because it actually got a factor to drive the community to participate.

I can understand that there has been a lot of wasted time because someone actually promised prizes he couldn't give, plus the fact it took a fairly long time for each part of that contest in general. As much as possible I would like to avoid doing that so I want to inform users whenever possible.

The staff is currently recruited through myself only. Generally, I think I have a specific and high-standard criteria I go by, but I want to make sure plenty of people can join too. These are the minimum requirements for members to join, as well as the fact that these are people I know who come here everyday. Thank you for mentioning this!

We originally planned on delivering IRL OS-themed goodies as prizes, but for whatever reason one of our staff members dropped out last second of posting this. We hope we can get a supplier sometime before December.

I would like to increase site activity through these events, therefore I hope this goes well too! Thank you for supporting us!
