Street Circus || A Task Game || GAME OVER. Thanks for playing!
http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/a...Banners/GM.png It’s the Feast of Fools! A time for food, dancing, acrobatics… the list of fun and merriment goes on. You and your friends decide that the perfect way to earn an extra buck (or two) during this event is to put on a show of your own. Specifically, you are going to plan, prepare, and perform a street circus show! What are you waiting for? Start working to get the show ready; time is money! |
http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/a...ners/Tasks.png Earn money by completing tasks in different categories. 1. Backstage Assignments-- In order to put on a successful show, everyone involved must first make the necessary preparations backstage. Teams do NOT have to complete all of the assignments. Only one player can do one assignment. The assignments must be finished and submitted by the specified time, and you can’t do an assignment for your teammate and let them submit it as their own. Each completed Backstage Task earns $10, unless otherwise stated. 2. Promotion Strategies-- It’s no use going to all that effort to prepare your show if nobody knows about it! Carry out and finish the assigned strategies before the rival teams do. Every single strategy must be finished in order to earn money; your team will not get any money if even one strategy is not completed. The first team to complete all the strategies gets the most money. In the end all the work more than pays for itself, so remember to work as a team! Each completed Promotion Strategies round earns $500; $300 goes to the second team to complete the round; $100 to the third team. 3. Opening Day Acts-- These will be opened on the last day of the game. They don’t have to all be completed in order to earn points, but they will be more difficult than normal Backstage Assignments or Promotion Strategies. The Acts require participation from EVERY member of your team in some way. Each Opening Day Act is worth $100. 4. Journalist-- Throughout the game, a journalist will stop by to all of the teams’ stages and ask random trivia questions. If you’re the first to answer correctly, your team will get extra publicity, and thus a little extra cash! Each correct answer is worth $5. It is perfectly fine if you complete a Backstage Assignment and want to lend your team a hand with completing the Promotion Strategies. Page Prizes July 12: Yes, we now have them! Page 150: 100g to first poster (see above requirement) |
http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/a...ners/Rules.png 1. Follow the rules of Menewsha and the Terms of Service. 2. That means being a good sport and not lashing out at, flaming, etc. the other teams. I'm not saying that you can't be competitive, but don't take it too far. 3. Goblin Maiden (myself) and Lilith W will have the final say on any disputes that crop up. Listen to them or face the consequences. 4. Put your back into the tasks you do! Tasks will include drawing a picture, a brief piece of writing, etc. You don't have to put a ton of time into a task, but... please, make it clear that participating in this game means something to you, and isn't just a waste of time. 5. Be creative and have FUN! ...okay, that's kind of two rules, but whatever. http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/a.../HowToPlay.png 1. Sign up for one of the three teams. They are: Gypsies, Jesters, and Artists. 2. Look at the schedule that lists the game days and game times. 3. On each game day, a group of Backstage Assignments and Promotion Strategies will be posted. 4. Work on and complete the tasks! Backstage Assignments have to be done individually, but Promotion Strategies can be (and should be!) completed as a team. While each team member can choose their own Backstage Assignment, make sure to check with your other team members so that you're not repeating tasks. 5. Make sure to check this thread throughout the game days, in case a journalist comes by to ask questions! You DO want that extra cash, right? |

http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/a...ssignments.png Pick up your assignment and get to work! READ THE BELOW IN ORDER FOR YOUR SUBMISSION TO BE ACCEPTED: 1. A task can only be completed once by each team. It's up to your team to decide which team member does which task. Remember, it's one task per team member. 2. All photos submitted must have the "time and date" feature ON so we know exactly when the photo was taken. Backstage Assignments are worth $10, except when listed as otherwise. HOW TO SUBMIT! All submissions must be posted using the form below: HTML Code:
[B][COLOR="DarkRed"]BACKSTAGE ASSIGNMENTS: ROUND 3 (7am--7pm CST, July 14): Do These Pants Make Me Look Fat? 1. Time to sit for the makeup artist! Draw, photomanip, or provide a photograph of your own makeup job for 3 individual performers. If you photomanip, be sure to provide the original photos that you manipped from and the sources. Worth $30. 2. One of the acts involves people flying on wires… So, you guessed it, that means wings are to be made. Draw or craft 3 individually unique wing designs. They can be any kind of wings, they just have to be different from one another. Worth $35. 3. Oh, the drama… one of your performers has called you complaining about their costume. You’re annoyed at their over-reacting, but at the same time, they’re your best performer so you can NOT lose them over something like this. Write 200 words in which you detail how you respond to them in a manner that keeps them in line, makes you sound diplomatic, and in the end makes everyone happy. 4. Now for hair. Draw or create and photograph 3 hairstyles for your circus performers. Make them unique! Worth $35. 5. Cripes! Someone’s costume ripped. In 200 words, explain what the costume is, where it was ripped, why it was ripped, and how you are going to repair it. Be creative! 6. Break time! Your team is lounging around doing pretty much nothing, and the conversation eventually turns to cosplay. Find out if anyone on your team has ever cosplayed, or if they want to. Each team member then needs to pick 1 fictional person to cosplay as (from a comic, movie, etc). Make a list of your team members’ names and the people they would willingly cosplay as. 7. One of your team members just found out that since their pet-sitter is sick, they have to bring their pet with them to the show. Looks like you now have a mascot. Find out if anyone on your team actually has a pet. If no one does, pick a random domestic species and breed, then draw it. Either way, design a mascot costume for the pet. Worth $25. 8. Your team is tired of planning for the street performance. You guys don't want to get too far off track so one team member comes up with the idea of looking to the past. Pick a time period and place. Find a picture that shows the fashion of the time and place. Then, redesign the fashion of the time your team picked into a costume that could be used in your street circus. Must include at least 3 articles of clothing (must be main articles like shirt, pants, dress, skirt). Submit the time period, place, and picture that you researched as well as the finished costume. Worth $50. ROUND 2 (7am--7pm CST, July 13): Setting the Stage SPOILERROUND 1 (7am--7pm CST, July 12): Team Get-together SPOILER |

In 300 words or more, describe why you chose to integrate the different elements of your homepage (ex. Color, font style, images, etc). 3.

http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/a...ingDayActs.png The big day is finally here! You ready to make it big? You do not have to complete all the tasks. All tasks involve two team members in some way. Each task worth $100. HOW TO SUBMIT! All submissions must be posted using the form below: HTML Code:
[B][COLOR="DarkOrange"]OPENING DAY ACTS: The Acts 1. Time to get into costume! Gather Mene avatars from yourself and at least 1 of your team members in which you\they are wearing a costume to perform in. You and they must write 300 words each as to why you\they chose that costume and what it lends to your\their performance. Post the avatars and quoted explanations all at once. 2. Have 1 member of your team draw 3 comic panels that convey their part in planning and preparing your street circus. You must draw 3 comic panels, as well. It does not matter how they are drawn (stick figures are fine), or what they’re drawn with. Put the comic panels together in the manner that you think is best, and submit the completed comic. As well as the panels, you and your team member must write a 300 word description each of why you\they think your\their role in planning will make your team’s street circus a success. 3. You and 1 other team member must sign your\their autograph for fans. For this Act, go around the Menewsha boards and “autograph” 1 item from 5 members’ avatars. Submit both an image of the item and of the avatar so that we can see them wearing it, as well as the usernames of the people you got the item from. You can not autograph your own avatar or an avatar of any of your team members. You can not both autograph for the same avatar. Each item must be different from the other, so I don’t want to see more than 1 Elegant Gold Pocketwatch, for example. But wait! There’s more. These are the first autographs you and your team member have ever signed, and in your excitement you both write more than just a simple phrase. Each autograph must be 60 words in length. 4. Opening night was a hit, and you made the front page of the newspaper! Write an article by a critic praising the show. The article must be at least 300 words in length and include 2 quotes from you and 2 from another member of your team. Have your team member draw 3 images to accompany the article and submit the images and article in the same post. Done that? Good. Reverse roles with your team member, only your team member has to write an article by a critic who disliked the show. Other than that, follow the above requirements. 5. Your team is being interviewed on TV! Write up a 300 word interview in which you ask a member of your team 5 questions. Each question must be different from the next. Send the interview to your team member and get their responses. Have your team member do the same for you. Submit both of the interviews and you and your team member’s responses. 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. HTML Code:

OPEN FOR POSTING! |
Woot first post! :boogie:
Sign me up for Artists please. |
Ooo, I will sign up in a moment. <3 -brbing-
|
WOOT! Since I won't be here for most of the event, it would be stupid to sign up, but I bring good luck and lots of fortune to this thread. -poofs with confetti-
|
Yay~!! It's open! Sign me up for JESTERS please. Oh,and, do we need to do a thread for our team like the "JESTERS Team Thread" to discuss and stuff like in the Celes Paradi?
|
If you want to you can.
If you don't you guys will be doing a lot of pming. |
*shuffles around*
... *tries to decide if she should or shouldn't * |
If something happens with my chances to be online or something, may I resign, especially during the sign up time? -wants to know before she really joins-
|
If it is durning the sign up time I am going to say the answer is yes (not positive) but it would be hard to fix if after the game actually starts so I'm not sure about that.
|
Well, considering I'm on for numerous hours every day.....Sign me up for Gypsies! >D
|
Hm. That worries me a little. D: I don't know how things will turn and how active will I be able to be.
Maybe I should refrain, just like last time. |
MOMMY. *Mai hugs* If you're absolutely not positive about whether or not you can join, though, I'd really prefer that you did not. At least until you're sure. It would make things easier on me in terms of keeping track of people. ^__^;;
Oh, and as a note to everyone else, if you resign AFTER the game starts, you'll make me mad and sad and all those other negative emotions. But mainly it will be a huge setback to whatever team you were on and they'll all have negative emotions, too. So please don't do that. ^_^;;; EDIT: Added all the people who signed up onto the team lists! This is so exciting!! |
I'd like to be signed up for a Gypsy, please!
|
I'll sign up for artist ^.^
|
-kinda wants to, like really, but is so randomly on and off and busy/unbusy she can't promise she would make good teammate-
... Even if Cora will be in the team. ;w; |
