GOOD MORNING GYPSIES! Seeing as I didn't sleep and spent allll night watching movies, playing tetris, and finally getting my entries done/submitted for the Art contest....
I happened to actually be here for the beginning of the Round.
Quote:
BONUS
Everyone knows that word-of-mouth is a surprisingly effective way of getting news out… or in this case, word-of-post. That’s right. You’re going to start a blog for your team.
Have your team decide on 1 person from the team who will create and maintain the blog. You may have more than 1 person maintaining the blog if you choose (in fact, I would advise this). You can use any blog platform (ex. Blogger, Wordpress.com, etc).
Include the name of your team in the blog’s title.
Then, once every half-hour, post on the blog about what’s going on with your street circus (fictional or real events, or both!). Each post must be at least 200 words long. You will not get extra money for longer posts.
Each post must include an image that relates to the post.
You do not have to post every single half-hour. You must have at least 4 blog posts to get money, and you will receive bonus money for every extra post. However, you will LOSE money if you post more than once in a half-hour.
4 required posts: $200
Each extra post: $50
Penalty for posting more than once in a half-hour: -$70
But wait, there’s more! If you are lucky (perhaps not the right word to use in this case), you will receive a humor bonus! A bonus-bonus? Anyway, criteria below:
Made me smile: $20
Made me chuckle: $40
Outright loling: $60
So, if you want those bonus-bonuses, you might want to collaborate with your team mates about what exactly to write.
Link to the blog in the first Submission form.
Use the second Bonus submission form each time you post in your blog so I know to go read it.

So what does this mean?
It means, that we:
1- Create a blog (I'm thinking I'll start getting it set up on Wordpress, since it's what I believe to be the easiest to navigate and use)
2-Create entertaining posts pertaining to either real or fictional events every half hour
3-We lose cash if we post too often
4-We get extra cash if they're particularly hilarious
5-EACH POST NEEDS A PICTURE
6-EACH POST MUST BE AT LEAST 200 WORDS (no extra cash for higher word count)
SoooOOooOOo! I can go set up a site, post it here, PM you all login info, and we can decide what kind of stuff to post and who might post when. 8D |
