NEWS UPDATE: If you're spending
only because you can't resist the pull of the Festival items-- please, rethink!
This kind fairy is here to help you to resist the urge.
For those of you who have been watching the Yarn-o-Meter at the bottom of this image, you're probably already familiar with the sad tale of Channah's scarf. The image above shows the meager amount of green on the bar on December 26th. Slowly, the amount of green on this bar has actually been going
down.
Now, I believe there is an easy solution to this that every one can agree to:
the Half (or more!) Principle.
--> Every time a person spends yarn in the Event Store, the bar goes down.
--> Every time a person donates yarn to Channah, the bar goes up.
If you're one of those good people who'd like to help Channah but aren't certain, you should ask
the Evil Fairy for advice! She'll point you in the right direction. :)
If you are one of those people who would donate, but who is too eager to purchase items in the event store, there is a way to at least
do no harm, so that your activities won't make the bar go down. Our little group isn't asking you to stop spending at the store altogether-- although if you want to donate everything, we more than encourage it! Instead, we would like you to simply
Donate At Least Equal to What You Spend. In other words-- donate half of all of the yarn you take from Greed.
If you donate equal to what you spend, you won't have a negative impact on the bar. If you spend more than you donate, however, you will cause the bar to go down and thereby
hurt the efforts of other Menewshans to complete the scarf.
Please,
Don't Let Greed Win! Use the Half (or more!) Principle.
Feel free to post discussing this idea, the holidays, the event, or whatever you like!
If you're willing to donate at least half of your yarn in an effort to help Channah, you can use these images in your signature:
Another note:
--Once special events are done, items in the store usually end up being transferred to the other stores. Please don't be tricked into thinking that these items won't always be available! The only items which will be unavailable after the event are the ones which can be purchased with snow buckets.
All the more reason to donate yarn now! You can only help Channah once.

Support Channah Because...
Why do YOU follow the Half Principle?
Support Channah! Because the other guy looks like he just ate a kitten. (Aislin)
Support Channah so that you won't get scarfed. (Apocrypha)
Support Channah 'cause Greed eats kids. (Apocrypha)
The Half Principle - You CAN have your yarn and spend it too! (Amani)
Because Greed needs a mama, a papa, and a big 'ole spanking. (` B u t t e r)
