Welcome to the 10th Gaian-Sponsored Nudity Event where we get nude for charity!
The aim of this Event:
We will strive to make our avatars as financially-nude as possible, putting aside our material/pixel possessions for two full weeks in hopes of getting kind Gaians to sponsor us for a cause not our own but rather for someone else.
Think of it like a Jog-a-Thon, but we'll be nude for a number of days instead of running laps around a track.
Brief History:
The Nudity Event started out back in 2004(?) as the 14-Day Famine. For 2 weeks, clothing was removed from avatars to raise gold for charities and quests.
AkibeJosephus, whom was involved in the first 2, took over to host the 3rd & 4th events.
In 2007, for the 5th event, they raised 3.7 million gold! FragileWings_Ele took over for the 6th one after Akibe had stepped back for her own sanity xd and they raised 8.2 million gold.
Akibe took over once again for the 7th Nudity event in 2009 when the event was spotlighted, and we got immensely flooded with people. Even more gold was raised that year - 11.9 million gold!
2010's event set some of the highest records we'd ever seen! OtherWorldShukumei hosted the event to let Akibe deal with her mod duties, and she had lots of help from the designated Helpers. Over 100 nudists joined in the cause, and sponsors tripled our original goal to a ground-breaking 38 million gold! eek
2011's event created the highest record to date, 56 million gold! OtherWorldShukumei returned to host this incredible event.
This year a new host is taking OWS's space while she takes a break.
Uni, who has participated in this event since 08, has decided to take it on with some help from OWS.
When it all comes off:
Oct 1st - Oct 14th!
Save the date! We'll being stripping down then!
Currently raising: 84,413,803 gold & 19 items & 20,000 Tickets
We are aiming for 75 million gold this year. Help us make it!

Attention!
You can get dressed after 10pm your time on the last of your make up days. Dress up any earlier than that, and it will count as an owed day, and you'll have to re-strip to make it up.
~~~~~~~
PM Templates!
Rules to sending PM asking for sponsorships:
1. DO NOT send this PM to your sponsors until you have completed the event (and your owed days).
2. Of course, be polite and courteous. This PM is only a guideline that includes general information. You don't have to follow it word for word.
3. If a sponsor does not respond/send a trade within 3 days of you sending the PM (or completing the event), PM the host mule, TGSNE2, and we will try to work it out.
4. If you had any sponsorship incentives, be sure to include information about them in this PM if you haven't already.
Do not click on this until you've read the PM rules and the list below.
PM if they have not yet sent/completed trade:

Note on Missing Sponsorships:
If it's been a few days since you've finished the event, and you still have a few trades from sponsors that haven't been finished or started, you can send the sponsorship that you've received so far to your charity/quest(s), and give your thread a heads-up about the situation. You do not have to make up the missing gold with your own gold. Simply wait for the sponsorships to be completed and send that later.
If the sponsor has things set to friends only, there may be more options to contact them. Try commenting on their profile, sending them a cheap gift (like a starter shirt) with a smaller message, and/or start up a trade that mentions their sponsorship and how much they promised you.
About sponsors that have not been on Gaia in awhile:
Please send the gold you've earned and exclude their sponsorship. If they haven't logged in in awhile, it's unlikely they're going to return anytime soon. You should move on without them to be done with the event; you do not have to make up the missing sponsorship(s) with your own gold.

Note on Trades:
Gaia still can't get its bank/trade system right. If you notice a trade that you okay'd just randomly disappear, it was likely completed. I haven't seen evidence of the contrary. If it doesn't show up as cancelled, it's probably completed. If you don't remember the gold amount you had before and after the trade disappeared (to try to confirm the gold was added), just contact your sponsor and see if they can't screenshot proof of a completed trade on their end.
It's some sort of glitch in the order of trades that effects users with a lot of open/completed trades. I don't know the specifics, but just be aware, and try to pay extra special attention.
Also, if you can't send a trade to some nudists, use the trade option in their drop-down menu below the avatar instead of the box in the trade window. Again, Gaia's bank can be stupid, and for for some users, it doesn't like certain "symbols".
