Alright people. The time has come again for another ad contest to help spread the word, boost activity, and generally promote good things for the site before we move on with the main plot.
So, this contest will begin at 3:30pm today, on May 16, and end at 12:01am on May 31, both in US Eastern Time.
The rules are fairly simple. Taking the handy template of an advertisement found in the Advertise Us! thread at the head of the Advertising board, you copy this and post it in the guest-friendly ad and plug-boards on other forum RPGs. Make sure to post the correct template depending on if the site is hosted by Proboards or not, because most other web hosts use different coding. After this, paste the urls for the advertisements in this thread for the staff to confirm. When the ads are confirmed, 5 points will be credited to you in the contest. Only the ads that fully comply with all of the advertising rules on the other sites will get you points, however. While we want to spread the word, I would also like us to have a reputation for politeness to the wishes of other sites.
Also, be sure that you include your account name when you post ads, because any new members who credit your name in the How did you find us? section of their first character bio will earn you seven points on the completion of their first in-character post. These can come from real-life referrals as well, or other online friends. However, there will be no cbox begging. Once again, our reputation should be that of politeness, and not for doing anything and everything to get more members.
All points will be counted here in this post.
And now for the important part, the prize. After the contest is officially closed, the member with the most confirmed points will have a dragon hatch for the character of their choice with their choice in gender and color. Also includes leather interior and DVD player. XD
For those of you who already have dragons, a number that has grown significantly since our last contest, you are obviously quite welcome to participate as well. I've been doing my best to think of alternative prizes that would not be lame, so if you have any ideas about that, please PM. And don't worry, folks. If a Rider should happen to win the contest, the dragon prize will revert to the runner-up.
Rules of this contest are subject to small change, however. This is a major first for me as an admin, so I reserve the right to change things if something isn't really working. If you are more experienced with this sort of thing than I and have some suggestions, don't hesitate to PM them to me.
Ok, I think that's it. Go and advertise, oh denizens of Erisdar! Forth, and fear no darkness!
