Check out the FGM to find out who won
Lately I've been in a very giving mood. Since I've given several people lots of gold and items and even completed some quests, I've been feeling really good about it! So instead of browsing around the Quests/Charity forum, I thought the questers could come to me! Not only does it save me time, it brings me the people who are actually trying.
There are a few guidelines.
Guidelines
arrow You must have a quest thread and it must be at least two weeks old and/or more than 25 pages. Please do not bother applying if you don't meet this requirement. Why do we want this? To prove that you are dedicated to your quest. Enough said.
arrow You must advertise this thread in your quest page. We want other people to know about us so that we can help them, too! The more the merrier! We have plenty of banners to choose from in one of the following posts. You have your pick!
arrow You MUST have at least 20% of your goal accomplished. If you're questing for, say, a halo, and you have only 300 gold, you're not going to get a donation. You're far, far away from acheiving that goal. I'm here to help people actually acheive things that are possible. But good luck anyway.
arrow NO BEGGING. Not only is it rude, but it further disqualifies you if you for some reason decide to apply for a donation. Please learn some manners and work to get your gold. Don't add to the idiocy of some of the people on Gaia. This includes NOT begging the people who have donated to the charity. Also, DO NOT PM ANY OF THE STAFF MEMBERS ASKING FOR GOLD. More than likely, you will not receive a pleasant reponse back. ^.^
arrow When you have acheived your goal, we would hope that you would help other needy Gaians out there by donating to me or going out and making a difference yourself! What goes around, comes around!

Interested? Here's what I'll need from you. Please copy and paste the following in your post. Please do not PM me with the application or asking me for donations! Doing so will have you smited by Kineta! Don't tempt me. wink
If you have any problems with the above requirements, and preferably before you apply, be sure to read Ailinea's recent post, which I present here.

HOW TO DO PERCENTAGES
Here's a quick tutorial on how to do percentages. It's really easy.
Math Class
To find a percentage, you divide the amount you have by the total amount you need: (the / is a divded by sign)
current amount / total amount
For example, if you're questing for something that's 350,000 gold, and you have 46,000 gold, this is what you'd do:
46000/350000 (46,000 divided by 350,000)
There should be a calculator on your PC in the Accessories tab. The above equals to approximately .1314. From there, move the decimal place two spaces to the right, so you now have 13.14. Pop a percentage sign in front of it, and VOILA! You are 13.14% done with your goal. Congrats! You've done some math!

I never miss out on an opportunity to educate. ^^ Kudos if you actually read it. surprised
~Warning! Warning!~
All donations sent in a trade by Kineta, Ailinea, or the GGC Accountant must be responded to (in the charity) with some form of gratitude or the TRADE will be CANCELLED. This rule has come about because we have been doing mass donations and very few of the people have even bothered to say Thank You, so from hence forth if you do not say thankyou or something of the sort when confirming the trade, the trade will be cancelled and you will be disqualified.
~*Disclaimers*~
We reserve the right to refuse a donation to anyone. These reasons include, but are not limited to:
We reserve the right to refuse a donation to anyone. These reasons include, but are not limited to:
exclaim The content of your questing page. If your page consists of two sentences and you do not thank your donators or anyone who has helped, then you will probably not receive a donation. You should be courteous to the people who are being courteous to you. Plus, it makes your quest look more professional. The better looking your page, the higher the donation. Put some effort into it!
exclaim If you beg or harass us and other charties in a negative manner or otherwise insult those who do not donate to you. That's pretty self explanatory. We do NOT donate to mean people. ^.^
exclaim Your quest is ridiculously impossible. If you're questing for all of the 2003 donation letters and you're a Gaian that started two months ago, you probably have no chance whatsoever of acheiving that goal. We donate to people who are being realistic. We have other things to donate our money/items to.
exclaim You spend your donation money on things other than what you're questing for. Not only is that immoral, it's a big taboo in the Quests/Charities forum, and you have a possiblity of being reported to the GEPD. It depends on the seriousness of your infraction.
exclaim Any reason not mentioned above. Rarely will we not donate to you for a reason other than the above, but I'm sure there's something I missed.
exclaim Be sure to reply to the trade with a THANK YOU. And don't do it because I told you to. Do it because you're getting free gold. ^.^ Otherwise, your trade will be cancelled until we're done going through the list and then we'll get back to you and try again. sad
exclaim Don't complain if you get a smaller donation than someone else. Donation size depends on how much we have, how nice your quest looks, your progress, if you stayed and talked to us, etc.
We're called the Gaia Girls Charity because along with me, my friends Ailinea and Jazi_Mae will be helping as well! They've dedicated themselves to make needy Gaians everywhere just as happy as I am! You don't have to be a girl to get a donation. Guys are welcome, too! wink
Donations are always appreciated. How can a charity run without them? We have been helping so many Gaians lately, that we're starting to run a bit on the poor side. We could use some help! Donate to either myself or Ailinea and we'll be sure to give you credit for it! Maybe we'll throw in a little something as well. ^.~
Sometimes we run contests that have no cost, but you can still donate if you want to! However, it will not guarantee you more than one slot or any other special privileges. Everyone is equal here! Ailinea will be the coordinator of contests and such because she loves to do that kind of stuff!
So let the good times go round!
