Welcome to Legend of Abelsia's White Ribbon booth! (For those of you oldbies, we used to be called "Dragonfly!") Here you will find a game and a contest for two dragonfly elders... both of which are completely free! I hope you guys enjoy the event, both our personal booth and the main event itself. Please, look around the other shops as well and remember the cause of this event: to become a united front against art theft. Visit here, visit other places, but above all... have fun!

Note: You can participate in both the game and the contest, but you can only keep one pet if you have the luck of winning both.

Rules

1. All Gaia TOS and main LoA thread rules apply here. Please see the main thread for the full set of shop rules.
2. Abide by both the game and the contest standards.
3. Please no guilt tripping, discouraging, or cheering on other contestants.
4. You can only win one of these two pets!
5. These pets are not roleplay required, but I want everyone who enters to be aware the roleplay procedures in LoA are different than run-of-the-mill free-for-alls. We have regulations in place for roleplay, as the shop is heavily plot-centered. So in participating in the events, you are aware that all character creations and roleplays must be kept within plot and roleplay boundaries if you are intending to roleplay your pet.

Note: Co-owning is allowed for these pets up to two owners.

Game #1 - Color-By-Number!

User Image

This guy here is being given away in a game that is... well. I am unsure of what to call it! Let's just go with Color-By-Number... fitting for a guy who is all rainbowy, right? Anywho, scroll below to get more information on how to participate in this event!

Begins: TBA
Ends: Whenever someone wins!
How to play: Coloring Book will in a speed-based manner, but don't worry! It requires more than just a high speed connection to win at this game. What will happen is that when the event is supposed to start, I will post an image with lines and numbers. Sounds familiar, right? Well it should! What I'll be posting is a blank color by number. But what you won't be given is what each number's color is. You also don't want to assume that just because... say the sun is normally yellowish that the sun in the image is meant to be yellow too.

So what is going to happen is that when I post this blank color by number, I will post a number and a color (a basic ROYGBIV color) that goes with that number. Your task is to color in all of that number with the color, and whoever posts the image again first, with the color in place, gets 3 points for that round, the second person will get 2 points, and the third person will get 1 point. This will continue, layering up on the image, until all the colors are used and the image is complete. So there should be 7 rounds!

Since each round will build upon the other and the other color codes aren't given out until a new round, there isn't any way someone can assume each color and skip ahead to try to win early - after all, it is speed based as well, meaning if you stop and try to do everything at once, you're going to lose points. In the end, the person with the most points wins the pet!

Now, with the way this game is being held, it requires a little on your part as well - meaning in order to participate, you're going to need a paint program of some sort and a way to upload your picture for each round. This doesn't mean that if you don't have Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro you can't participate: It just means you'll need to have some basic paint program to apply the colors over (or under) the lines. MS Paint would work alright. I'm not looking for neat, perfect coloring - just something that fills in the right areas. So don't worry about accidentally being a little sloppy, and I promise not to give you an image that has a gazillion little areas.

As for photo uploading... Photobucket.com offers free image hosting that you might want to give a try if you don't already have an image hosting service.

Alright. Got it? If you have questions, please, feel free to ask! And... good luck! =)

Game #2 - Haiku Contest!

User Image

Now, this girl's game is a little easier to explain, and for those of you who love to write, you may feel drawn here! Why? Because this girl's contest is based on poetry - Haiku in particular. Read on to find out more information!

Begins: Now
Ends: July 8th @ 11:59pm EST
How to play: Unlike the Color-By-Number game, this one is not speed based. What you need to do to is write a haiku, either about unity or this female dragonfly, and send it in to this mule (Beriothien). At the end of the contest, the person who writes the most creative, flowing, beautiful, or otherwise poetically alluring haiku wins her!
A Couple of Rules: -> You can enter up to 3 haiku.
-> You must write your own haiku.
Basic Haiku: Haiku are thee lines long, with the first and last lines containing 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables.

Entrants
Only names are listed to protect each person's ideas.
None yet!

Haikuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus

***

Brush touching paper
Ink trailing softly behind
I write a haiku

***

elder quickly steps
eyes scanning the horizon
I sense danger here

***

pain lingers with me
unable to place the source
misery stifles

***

The first one is about the way her tail looks (like she's been writing with it with dark ink), the second about her rank, and the third about the expression on her face.
