Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome to the Sikukuu Midsummer celebration! The Midsummer Dance ended in a rather dramatic way. Sikukuu is experiencing their worst storm ever! Lightning has struck trees and started small fires. Torrential rain has swept entire hillsides into mudslides, caused the river to overflow its banks, and created new streams of fast moving water where there never had been any. Dens have collapsed, people are missing or dead, leaving the pride reeling. Instead of celebrating the summer, the pride is forced to try to limit the damage and rescure what can be rescued. Can you help?

Event rules

1. Follow SoA and Gaia ToS! (Should go without saying, but I'm sayin it anyway!)

2. This is open to everyone! Whether you have a Sikukuu member or not, whether you are an SoA newbie or oldbie. All are welcome to join the fun!

3. All SoA you can win in the event must remain in the pride.

4. You can enter as many contests as you want, but you can only win one regular SoA and one familiar from this event.

5. For the SoA prizes in need of a JRP to be certed, the winners MUST begin and preferrably finish this RP within the next month. If this does not happen, the SoA will be rehomed.

There are several ways to gain tickets for this raffle!

1. Advertise. You get one ticket for each day you advertise. You'll need to post in this thread with a banner visible in your signature for each day you advertise.



2. Roleplay. Each post in one of the meta ORPs will count as a ticket. We reserve the right not to count extremely short posts. (staff will keep tabs on these)


3. More roleplay. If you start your own RP set during the Storm Season you may post it here for a chance at additional tickets. The RP must be in the Sikukuu subforum, it must take place during the festival and the storm, and it can't be a SRP. (But it doesn't matter if the players are visitors or Sikukuu members) Post finished RPs using this form:




4. OOCarrots. You may cash in a OOCarrot for 5 10 additional tickets in the raffle.



5. Win! When the contest ends we will raffle off this lovely cheetah:

Crafter. New open rank! From baubles to toys, accessories to body-painting, these are the imaginative members who express themselves via objects or services. They open stalls or booths during the festivals to offer their wares to partiers.

Performer. New open rank! These members like to show off their skills to amuse others! They might dance, sing or just be really good at telling jokes. They often work closely with the entertainers of the pride.

Medic. New RP required rank! The Medics of the pride make sure that the pride members and party goers stay healthy during the celebrations. There aren't a lot of Medics in the pride, but they do a very important job.

To become a Medic your SoA needs 2 RPs working or apprenticing as a Medic OR 5 RPs on any topic. OOCarrots can be used to replace a regular RP. PM the mule for more info.



Can I join a party or contest ORP and just have my character watch?
Sure! You wont be able to win the prize for that particular contest, but your posts still count for the participation raffle.

I won a SoA, but I like that one better... Can I give this one to a friend instead?
I'm afraid not! You may pass on the prize, and it will be re-rolled.

Isn't Midsummer in June?
Ahem... Yes. But for the sake of fun and games we're pretending that it's Midsummer in Sikukuu now!

I like it here... Can I stay?
Sure! If you have at least one post in a finished ORP you can use it as a JRP. You may pick any of the common ranks (Celebrant, Bouncer, Crafter, Crier, or Entertainer). Just apply for a cert, fill in the form here and you're all set!

But I'd like a special rank for my SoA!
There will be plenty of opportunities for that. Stick around, and maybe start out with one of the common ranks?

I've seen these carrots handed out during the event. How do they work?
Read more about it here! In this event the OOCarrots can also be used in the participation raffle a few posts up.

I have another question...
Ask away! Just PM the mule and then we can put the question here.

The dance is now open! heart
