Bringin' sexy back since 2005!

(Art from last year's event.)
Hello, greetings, and welcome to the Gaian-Sponsored Nudity Event.
The history of this event is long and noble, it started back in 2005, under the name of the 14 Day Famine. For 2 weeks clothing was removed from avatars to raise gold for charities and quests. Akibe, whom was involved in the first 2, took over to host the 3rd & 4th event with decent luck.
But then in 2007 she decided that the time was ripe for a new one! And it worked very well, with 3.7 million gold raised. Unfortunately by the end of it she had lost her temper, her patience, and her sanity. So in 2008 she stepped back and let Ele (FragileWings_Ele) take over, she beat the previous year's mark, with the 2008 event raising…8.2 million gold!
Last year's event in 2009 was once again hosted by Akibe, and we raised a ground-breaking 11.9 million gold!
And now, in 2010, OtherWorldShukumei - whom has participated in the past 3 year's Nudity Events and the first Newbie Event - has stepped forward to fill Akibe shoes to allow the previous host to attend to her Gaia moderator business without the pressure of a big event and thread to run.
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.
When it all comes off: June 1st - June 14th!
Save the date! We'll being stripping down to our skivvies then!
Currently raising: 38,542,524 gold
(worth of items based on LMP included)
And we beat another mark this year! We shot for a whopping 13 million gold to be earned by our nudists, and the goal was almost tripled! eek

STOP!
You can get dressed after 10pm your time on Monday, the 14th (if you don't owe any 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.
I have officially updated owed days for ALL Nudists (as of the 12th).
If you see you have owed days and know you were on Gaia on a listed day, please send me 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.
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.
5. Please do not send these sponsors a "send a trade" PM as they are involved in the event, sponsored multiple nudists, and are waiting until days owed are completed. If they do not send a trade within 2 days of you completing the event, then you're welcome to send the the gentle reminder. But you can send the "completed trade" PM once they've made the trade, of course, if you want to send them a thank you.

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.
*Captain Gage Bordeaux - hasn't been online since June 13th. You guys might need to go on without them for now, and hope they come on later.
*Kitten sayz meeooww - She has come back online! Go PM her again if she doesn't send a trade soonish.
*Kokla_Er_Kla - had a login on the 25th, but if no response, contact her other account, KaylaXXxxXXxxXX
*Leaky Toilet - hasn't been on since late February. I doubt he'll be back on or catch any PMs. Sorry, guys.
*Rupuzzled - has come online, and said she completed all the trades.
*Sapphira Chan - hasn't been online since June 4th. Same case as Captian above.
Note on Trades:
I know, I know, more notes.
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. But 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.
And I've been informed that if you have more than 13 trades waiting on you, Gaia will say that you have 13 requests. The trade system has a limit of 13 trades in the list, so the 14th had gone into standby. Once you complete the first few trades, any extra trades beyond the initial 13 will pop up on your "All Trades" list.
