To The Questers
This is a forum in our guild where you can start your Quest thread and/or keep track of your quest. later on when we have more people in our guild I personally will hold a contest where I will give away some items that are quested by our members. You don't have to have a quest thread somewhere else. As long as I see you keeping your thread in here, and keeping track of your progress I will consider you for my gift giving contest.
I don't have to give you anything. But I feel like I should help people who deserve my help.
Other members who think they want to help our questers please do so. If you can afford then please give back to the community.
This are some rules to follow.
arrow What should be posted if a quester is asking for gold in a charity: what you are questing for, how much you have saved, how much the item costs, how much gold is needed to acquire said item, and a link to your quest thread if you have one!
arrow All too often I see "quest threads" that say "I want (insert item here) gimmie Money!!!!" This is not the best way to go. Donators like to see well-constructed and well thought out quest threads. As Panaceradio says in the etiquette, this is why many people donate to "rich" Gaians as opposed to "poor" Gaians. The "rich" Gaians tend to have more well-constructed quest threads, and this is appealing to the eye. Such things as an introduction, gold read out, your gold or item goal, a donors list, and a BIG thank you are appreciated on these threads.
arrow Next, if you're questing, and you are quite new, please quest for realistic items. if you've only joined a few days previous and you are now questing for a HALO, no offense, it's not going to happen. Not ONE person in their right mind would donate to a quest of that magnitude when you've only been here a few days.... Not many would donate to a quest like that if you've been on a few MONTHS.
arrow When a person comes into your thread to bump or wish you luck or give you advice, do NOT ask them specifically for a donation. If they wish they will donate. You state ONCE that you wish for donations in the first post, then happily bump your thread. I cannot stress this enough!
arrow Do NOT insult or threaten would be donators.... this gets you nothing, proves you're a rude and obnoxious person.
arrow NEVER, I repeat, NEVER advertise YOUR quest in someone else's Quest thread. Along with this comes DO NOT use the "I bumpped you, now you bump me" thing... This is getting tiresome people. If you want to advertiese, get a banner and stick it in your sig, don't expect people to bump for you if you bump them, just be happy you're helping someone out buy shoving their thread to the top of the list.
arrow DON'T USE THE WORD "NEED." you don't NEED Pixels, so don't use the word!
arrow Okay, "I will strip/kiss/WHATEVER for gold" threads are incredibly inappropriate. They don't get donations! All you get if you make one of these threads is a bunch of angry charity goers flaming you, and a moderator deleting the thread.
arrow OVER USE OF THE gonk EMOTICON IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH! It's SO annoying to have 20 of them in one post. Just don't use it!
If anyone has more ideas or any suggestions on how to make this more helpful please post here or PM me personally.
