Eep! Guys, I just found out that the art auction banner is too large to be allowed as a signature. Luckily, Iro was kind enough to give us a shrunken version that squeaks in under the limit! Please change the signature banners to this smaller one! (The original can still be used for the auction thread.)

By the way, if the thread title is REALLY long and it's limiting what you want to put in the signature, did you know using [thread=threadnumber][/thread] works too?

So, that link can be shortened to:


[thread=208429][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jGFjOkA.gif [/IMG][/thread]

I was fiddling with it last year for my artshop link... and give up! D:
lol. I replace the thread title with number, which didn't work, of course.

Soo, in the avatar contest thread we were just talking about something to put in the tabloid... I was going to write an article about the avatar contest, but that will be over by the time the tabloid comes out. Perhaps I could still do something about it, and then mention our fundraising efforts?

Which brings me to the question: What fundraising plans do we have going? The art auction is going now, but it will be done well before the next Minute comes out. Do people have other ideas?




One idea I had was selling raffle tickets. We pick one of the donated CIs and announce that we have 100 raffle tickets for sale at 100g each. Once all the tickets are bought, we roll a d100 and whoever has the winning ticket gets the item, while we've netted 10k. We could even do several raffles, perhaps making the tickets more expensive if it's a particularly nice item? Don't get me wrong-- I love having items to give out, but I think gold might be easier in a lot of places. Thoughts?

The raffle is good as long as the item we're raffling off is around a 5-7k item. More than that and we're not really making a profit. Also, our gold can be used to purchase some items for giving away as well, which would be a good thing for things like, say, the avatar contest or the Murder Mystery...something that won't have a lot of little prizes.

Yeah, I was thinking about the cheaper CIs-- or if we were doing, say, Dryad's Hollow, make it 200g per ticket or something.

good luck tutoring!

Say, the tabloid is all about juicy gossip, isn't it?
Ain't Scheharazade the master of stories? 8D
Can't there be some kind of a storyline to write about before the event happen?
Like how the caravan came about? their intention?

Awesome. We're getting it done!

I'm back from tutoring. It was successful and not awful, so that is good. I like my newest student, and she appears to enjoy my teaching style, so that's awesome.

Also, 3 hours and 15 minutes until bid time!

Thanks to BellyButton for her awesome donation!

Also, I'm thinking of using event funds to buy a reef explorer-- that would greatly assist the avatar design contestants, don't you think?

Although I don't mind letting people do minimal to no background, and then we can design a background later...

I want a reef explorer so bad. *sigh*
Just remember that it uses up a LOT of gold and will have to be used as a pretty high powered prize.

Why so unpleasant lately? And this is why we like cohosts. So if something comes up, someone can take over for you. It will be okay.

It's just... Mom's health is failing more and more, I can't get the upper hand of school work anymore with my own health issues and pains, then there is some drama among friends. Even my RPs are kind of going shabby and I lack confidence about them. I am also awfully tired most of the time and especially after a school day, and I just all around feel completely worthless waste of space most of the time.

But I'll scramble to top again. I'll manage to, somehow. I hope. If not, I just... don't know, then.

Essays for philosophy and history, tons of math, economy, also literature. And at least 2 of those are specifically geared towards my country's culture/past events. Then there's studying Inkscape for missed test and so on... I just don't have time and energy for it all.

But talking about time, now it's time for me to sleep.

You all, take care, will you?

Also, Shadami, I won't be able to do any art work, because of circumstances.
