Secret Santa 2010

Introduction

Well then, the idea has been resurfaced by heavensdark and we have gotten a few new members. So let's do this.
Christmas is around the corner. It's the season of giving, what's the best way to celebrate it on Gaia for second or two?
Of course it's with your fellow Backstreet Gaia - Fans by exchanging gifts!
This year, things will be run more efficiently than our first time we did Secret Santa.
Please follow the rules and don't be afraid to ask questions when you find yourself a bit confused.



Application Deadline
December 18th

Person Assignment Date
December 19th

Gift Giving Timeline
December 19th - 30th

Rules & Processing

General Rules
Do your best to chat up with all your other guild mates and don't be afraid to ask people what they do and don't like during the time. (Confuse people into thinking that you are giving them gifts by asking more than four people)
This is give and receive, not just a receiving event. If you are not planing to follow the rules, please do not participate. It is unfair to the ones who want to follow the rules (it has to be said for insurance, but I know that we as Backstreet Boys fans wouldn't do this to each other now)
If you do not give your gift by the last date, you will be given a PM. PM will have conditions according every situation.


The Application Process
Send application to the guild mule. -BSBG-Mule-
If your application is accepted your name will appear on a list in the guild
If your application is rejected, it is because you did not fill out the application correctly, there's a question admin would want to ask you or application is closed


Sending Gifts
Each person will be PM the person they are buying a gift for
If you want to remain anonymous, you may or you can let you can be know. It's up to you.
Do not use 'Trade' to send your gifts
Last day to send gifts is on the 30th of December 2010 (of course)

More will be added when needed.

The Most Active in Thread


A simple fun little contest which I thought would be hoot for those who see it. A kind of reward for the people who keep up with the guild and make it active and fun! This is actually a prototype of what I want to do in the next year and have a large reward for the most active of the year or of the month, or something of that nature. As of now this contest is a hidden contest. It will not be made public to the rest of the public. People who see this post are more than welcome to join in the fun. (These are the rewards you get for checking up on the guild).

The Rules


So how does this contest work?
When you post up to five times that you make within the listed forums:
Main Forum
The Chill Room
Past Album
Fan Fiction
It equals to the lowest point you are able to get [look at Point System].


Point System
To determine the activity in the guild will be graded on a point system!

5 points = for every post in thread
25 points = for taking part in Secret Santa 2010
30 points = for posts that provoke deep conversations! (I love those!)
40 points = for your own fanfiction story


Q&A


Q. What do you mean by ‘provoke deep conversations?’
A. ‘Deep’ conversations to mean two or more people are speaking or debating about a certain topic in a thread.

Q. What doesn’t count as a post?
A. Pointless dribble! Bumps, spam and post that have nothing to do with the thread that is posted on. Yes, I know you “Luw da BacKSTreetBoiz” but that has nothing to do the bloody topic. If you are new and post in the introduction thread, that doesn’t not count. Sorry.

Q. What does count as a post then?
A. Well anything that I didn’t say that you can’t post. So debating is wonderful, relatable post for topics are, of course, acceptable. Anything that promotes healthy activity, thought, information sharing about our Boys, pictures you have with them, stories, fan fiction story links and even your own!

5 points = for every post in thread

I am assuming that "bump" and spam posts do not count for this. Am I right? If so, then you'd have an entire thread of nothing but bumps and almost no other content.
Quote:
10 points = for every post in other threads in the guild

Do posts made in threads like the Introduction thread count as well? Also, what about posts made before this thread, or before the user found/read this thread?

25 points = for taking part in Secret Santa 2010

This is an excellent way to boost participation. I applaud you're sneakyness. cool
Quote:
30 points = for posts that provoke deep conversations! (I love those!)

How do you define "deep"? Is it just long posts (i.e. posts longer than a sentence)? Or does the post have to actually spark some thought or conversation? Does it have to be philosophical or merely just interesting? Do these posts have to be about the Backstreet Boys and the BSBs ONLY or will posts made in the off-topic sub-forum count as well?
