Welcome to Gaia! ::

Don't forget about contests if you'd like to join them!
For now, we have the page and RNG contests. Check out the rules on the first page for full details.

But! You can get involved in the contests as well! Want to host your own? Want to contribute?
Just PM the mule with your idea or addition to a contest, and we can hash something out.
You will be responsible for sending out your own prizes and informing the mule of any winners for your specific contest.

Examples include giving away some gold/something for a particular page, sponsoring someone that gets a specific number (1-1000), art giveaways for quoting ( ? biggrin ), individually hosted tektek contests, etc.

Upped the "Could Use More Sponsorships" amount to 10k.
Only the newest nudist doesn't have more than 10k though, so we're good! 3nodding

We're raising over 25 million gold!
We're a quarter of the way to our final goal!

If I did the math right, we're now actually at 25,242,701g. I added together the totals from each nudist and verified them with the amount at the bottom of each post. Added the bottom totals together afterwords and got the higher amount. Anyone (especially mods/stalkers though) is welcome to check the math for each individual person to make sure they match up (like adding up individual sponsorships and verifying those amounts match to a nudist's total earnings). Get a more accurate count that way.

An Update for the Wanted post!

Wanted to give people a fair warning that a new rule will be added to the Wanted post tomorrow (June 2nd). In order to qualify for a nudist, we all know that threads must be one month old, have 10 pages, be active (about a post a week from the thread owner), and must have been created by June 2nd. Anything created after June 2nd will not be qualified for a nudist this year.

The new rule that I'm sure you'll all waiting to hear is:
Anyone that posts a Wanted form for a nudist and does not meet the age or pages requirement will de-qualify themselves for a nudist in this year's event.

It clearly states in that post that if your thread does not qualify to wait to put in a form. From tomorrow on, anyone that jumps the gun will not get a chance to have a nudist. It'll be "graylisted", rather than getting the notice to reapply later.

This does not apply to the requirements of activity. Activity is mentioned, but then explained in a different post, so the activeness of a thread is more determined by the hosts. We don't expect everyone to figure out if they have enough posts over the last few weeks/month, but some are more obvious than others. It only applies to the age of the thread and the number of pages required.

This does not apply to nudists putting in a form. If the thread doesn't yet qualify, we'll just ask them to reapply later.

Upped the "Could Use More Sponsorships" amount to 25k and 2 sponsors.
Basically, some nudists may only have one sponsor while still earning over 25k, but it's nice when there's multiple sponsors. 3nodding
So nudists will now be removed from the list once they have earned 25k and have at least 2 sponsors.

Remember that today, the 12th, is the last day to turn in Wanted and Nudist forms!
Anything posted after midnight PDT (GMT - 8 ) will not be accepted. Nudists that are claiming a Wanted thread will be accepted through tomorrow, the 13th, though. The event mule will be claiming up to four of the threads (at least one charity and three quests), so don't all freak out and think you need to claim them all. 3nodding

For those of you in higher timezones, the event may have already started!
Regardless of what timezone you are in, in order to qualify for the first day, you must be "nude" by 9pm your time on the 14th.
(Noted on the front page, too.)
We will be accepting nudist forms that are claiming any of the Wanted threads until 7pm PDT (GMT - 8 ) tonight. For reference, that is in less than 4 hours.

We're raising over 50 million gold!
We're half of the way to our final goal!

I haven't double-checked the math yet, but we've made it over 50 million! Anyone (especially mods/stalkers though) is welcome to check the math to make sure it all matches up (like adding up individual sponsorships and verifying those amounts match to a nudist's total earnings). Get a more accurate count that way.

If you haven't missed any days in the event, you can start to wear undergarments in the okay-to-wear list starting at midnight tonight! Do not change any earlier than that. If you've missed some days, you'll have to wait, but not for long. 1 missed day can change on the 22nd, 2 days can change on the 23rd, etc.
(Noted in first post, too.)
