✩||Just follow these rules and you'll be fine <3


xxxxxxxxxxxxxx►Try to be literate. Good English is good. :'D

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx►Don't spam. It'll just get deleted.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx►Follow Gaia's ToS

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx►Do not quote any large blocks of text, such as any of the posts on the front page of the main thread or a team's thread.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx►Please read the FAQs before asking a question. That way we can be sure that we have plenty of time to answer
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxany unusual or specific questions, instead of answering the same common ones over and over.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx►Contacting Blaize/crew: We are likely to be very busy around this time. Questions and Yellow Wall entries will have priority over any art or banners you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxsend, or affiliate/Turn TDM requests. Please be patient with us.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx►Be supportive of one another! Try to get along.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx►And most importantly, strive for positivity. I encourage you to share your stories and feelings concerning cancer, cancer awareness, and the like,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx but this will not be a pity-party.Many people may be going through cancer themselves or seeing someone they love dealing with it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx We’re here to hope for the best.

xxxxxxxxxx- -TDM Main Thread rules

✩||More about Childhood Cancer:
All kinds of cancer, including childhood cancer, have a common disease process — cells grow out of control, develop abnormal sizes and shapes, ignore their typical boundaries inside the body, destroy their neighbor cells, and can ultimately spread (or metastasize) to other organs and tissues. As cancer cells grow, they demand more and more of the body's nutrition. Cancer takes a child's strength, destroys organs and bones, and weakens the body's defenses against other illnesses.
Typically, the factors that trigger cancer in children are usually not the same factors that may cause cancer in adults, such as smoking or exposure to environmental toxins. Rarely, there may be an increased risk of childhood cancer in kids who have a genetic condition, such as Down syndrome. Those who have had chemotherapy or radiation treatment for a prior cancer episode may also have an increased risk of cancer. In almost all cases, however, childhood cancers arise from noninherited mutations (or changes) in the genes of growing cells. Because these errors occur randomly and unpredictably, currently there is no effective way to prevent them.

✩||Contests.
Usually the favorite part of the thread, because of PRIZES!


Arrt Contest!

> The usual art contest; draw, and if you did well enough, win Gold.
But, here's the requirements:
- Must have something to do with Team Childhood, or The Daffodil Movement. (Like a daffodil or a Gold ribbon)
- Must be original. It has to be your art, no tracing or coloring other's art.
- Must be PM'd to Hikari_Namikaze111 or posted on the thread before April 28th. You have 4 whole weeks.


Poem&&Writing Contest <3

> My favorite kind of contest. Make a poem or Haiku about Childhood cancer. Here's the requirements:
- Posted on the thread or PM'd to Hikari_Namikaze111. Deadline at April 28th
- Posted on color BLACK (not the default one) and the size must be less than 12. (11,10,9)

Banner Contest. =w=

> Best way to advertise our team and get more members!
Make a banner for our team, but there's several things you must follow:
- Banners must not be bigger than 300x200. Small, I know, but big banners takes up a lot of space on your signature.
- Posted or PM'd before April 28th

TekTek Contest, as always~

> One of the most popular contest. TekTek!
It must follow these rules, though:
- Main theme is Gold.
- Post without the prices.
- Post or PM'd

✩||Frequently Asked Questions, AKA F.A.Q;;

►Where do I send my entry for the Tektek contest?
PM them to Blaizekit. Entries posted in the thread or entries sent before the contest is officially open will be ignored.

►Do individuals send in their Tektek entries, or is it one entry for every team?
Individuals enter. The best from each team will win a prize. Sometimes there will also be runners-up, depending on the number of
entries and the closeness of the judging.

►Can I be on more than one team?
You are more than welcome to post whatever ribbons you want in your signature or around the site to show your support.
However, when it comes to official teams, you have to pick just one. This is especially important for the spirit contest. You can only
follow your team's events.

►How do I join a team? What do I have to do for my team?
It's not all that scary. All you have to do is post in the HQ of the team you want, saying you want to join. Make sure the team
Captain adds your name to the list, and voila! You have a team. Depending on what your team's Captain wants to do, there might
be events or contests that your team is doing. None of these are required for membership. They're just for fun! The important
thing is just to support your team with a whole heart. Put its ribbon in your signature. Dress up in your team colors. The team
that's deemed the most spirited wins a real-life donation for that type of cancer, so shake those pom-poms!

►Do I have to be on a team to be a part of the Movement?
No. You don't even have to post in the thread. The most important thing about the Movement is making the cause visible. All you
really need to do to be a full-fledged participator is to wear the bouquet and point our way if anyone asks about it. (:

►I want to help the Movement. Where do I send my gold, items, and daffodils?
Donations should be sent to TDM Event Mule. Donations of gold help us give better prizes in the contests, and yellow items give
the mule something cool to wear. (Items are sold at the end of the Movement to go toward next year.) Please do not send us
daffodils unless they are already made into a bouquet. It is too expensive and time-consuming for us to turn hundreds of daffodils
into bouquets by ourselves. We'd rather use our gold pool for prizes, so please only donate bouquets. (:

►I wanna show my support by wearing a daffodil bouquet during the whole month of April, but can't make or buy one. What's
this about free bouquets?
You're in luck! Many generous Gaians have donated daffodil bouquets to us, so that we may pass them along to whoever needs
one. To request a bouquet, just send a labeled trade to TDM Event Mule.

►Do I have to wear a *yellow* daffodil bouquet?
No. You can wear whatever color you want.

►Why can't (insert name of cancer here) be a team?
This is only the second year that the Movement has had teams as part of the event. Chances are the number of teams and which teams
are chosen will change a little from year to year. I am always listening out for which teams have the most demand. (: There are a couple
of teams that are relatively small, like Melanoma, that I will never toss out just because of personal preference.

Don't worry, I'm kinda of nerdy, too xD
Oh, and I want to know your opinion; should I divide the Gold for the prizes equally [every contest, 1st winner, 20k] or the harder ones (Art, writing) gets 25k for 1st prize and the other two 15k?

I think harder contests deserve better prizes. 3nodding
