Welcome to the 9th Gaian-Sponsored Nudity Event where we turn nudity into a charitable act!
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
We're revamping a bit this year and trying some new things. We hope it'll be easier for everyone in the long run.
When it all comes off:
June 1st - June 14th!
Save the date! We'll being stripping down to our skivvies then!
Currently raising: 56,112,409 gold & 61 items
Crazy people! We hit the 30 million mark!
Just for shizz & giggles, let's see if we can't get to 50 million before the event is over. ninja
And we've gotten to the 30 million goal, the 50 million goal, and fate's 55 million goal!
xx I met my fate xx
If we reach over 55mil in sponsorships, I'll record myself singing a song about the nudey event and the people in it, make a youtube vid with art, and post it in the guild.

The Gaian-Sponsored Nudity Event Guild
Join if you want even more updates! ('Cause if you're a nudist, you'll need to join anyway.)
~~~~~~~
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.
Owed days should be updated for ALL nudists as of the 16th @3:30pm PST.
If you see you have owed days and know you were on Gaia on a listed day, please send me or your Stalker a PM with proof of your activity (link to a post - perhaps in a guild?), and we will try to work something out.
~~~~~~
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.
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.
People to note if you're waiting on them:
Freakinspazmonkeys - Someone mentioned she's busy being pregnant. ^-^ You're best bet is to send a labelled trade w/the amount she sponsored you.
OtherWorldShukumei - Sponsored everyone, and she should have sent out all of the trades. PM or quote OWS if you haven't gotten a trade. She sent out some trades with her mule, Shukumei Wiswel, so look out for that name.
rebeljd - Having some computer issues. I know he's started some trade; not sure if he got them all out.
xx I met my fate xx - Sponsored everyone, and she's back logged in trades. She's reached the limit of trades allowed open, so she's waiting on nudists to finish trades. If she sponsored you more than 10k, please PM or quote her. She'll get to 5k sponsorships soon.
About sponsors that have not been on Gaia since at least May:
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.
Good news for some of you guys! Gopacksand has taken it upon themselves to cover the missing sponsorships of ele, Stella, and Lust (Tao was added to the list after the fact). Basically, they'll just be replacing the original sponsors so no one should go without. heart Gopacksand will also be using their mules to send trades, so look out for iiS a n d and Invisible SandII as well.

Note on Trades:
But seriously. 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 users like Raspberry(Soda), it ends up removing one of the parenthesis in her username.
