Please remember to read the rules before applying for a donation!
« General Rules »
x Please post all applications for a donation in this thread.
x Under no means are you to PM us begging for gold. (Or begging in general.)
x Please do not advertise your quest/charity in this thread.
x If you want to be affiliates, then PM the both of us with a link to your charity.
x If you want your quest on our front page, then PM the both of us with a link to your quest.
x It`d be nice if you could spell correctly, ne?
x Being polite always gives you brownie points!
« Donating to the Charity »
x Please send all donations to our charity mule account, ``can`t think of a name.``
x Please label your donation trades with ``charity donation`` as a just-in-case.
x After you send a trade, please PM both Gnome_of_Oz and [ Hiroko ], because we`re not always on our mule account.
« Donation Rules »
x We won't donate to super expensive quests, like Ports or Minis, unless you're really close to buying them. We don't want you to lose interest and waste the donation, right?
x At least 15 pages in your quests, so we know you're dedicated!
x A post count of over 750 posts, to prove your dedication!
x No, there are no second chances.
« Applying for Donations »
Again, let me reiterate the importance of reading through all the rules. It will be quite obvious if you did or did not read through all the rules and we can tell the difference. If you do not read through all the rules, you will not qualify for a donation - in fact, you will be placed on the black list and we will consider whether you deserve a second chance or not. Let me warn you now that Hiroko will be in favor of no second chances. Now for the rules. Yes, there`s a reason why we`re putting the rules in a paragraph instead of listing it and that`s because we hope to filter out the people who will actually take time to read the rules and the people who are just going to B.S. the whole thing. Oh, and let me add right now that we reserve the right to not donate at any given time, after all, we can`t donate to every single quest out there (even though that would be ideal). Okay, so here`s what we expect of you. You have to have a quest page and it has to be at least a week old with hopefully ten pages to it. To make sure you read the rules, remember to write ``Hiroko has Gnome`s boxers!`` somewhere in your post and use the following form:
Name:
Joined on:
Post Count:
Link to Quest:
Pages:
Questing since:
Completion:
Why we should donate to you:
Favorite item & why:
Remember that ``name`` is not going to be your actual name, but your username. Please don`t give us your name because that won`t help you get a donation. For ``joined on`` please put the date you joined Gaia, and we will be checking your profile up for ourselves, so there`s no point in lying. We just want to see if you`re honest people, that`s all. Same goes with your ``post count`` field, by the way. In the ``link to quest`` field, give us a link to your quest so that we can check it out for ourselves. Oh, and remember to have some sort of progress on the front page of your quest so we can check that out, too. As for the ``pages`` field, we do not want you to fill this out, submitting a link to your thread is good enough. In fact, we want you to delete this option when you fill out the form. In the ``questing since`` area, tell us how long you`ve been questing, remember that we want the thread itself to be at least (insert amount of time) old, though. The ``completion`` field is another option we want you to ignore, and actually delete from the form as you`re filling it out. The pages field and itself are simply there to see if people read through all the rules or not. If you read the rules, we`ll see for ourselves how far you`ve gotten. By the way, if you`re still here we love you and we want you to know that in addition to the phrase we have up there, we want you to also put ``and Gnome`s running around in Hiroko`s panties`` before the exclamation point. Again, this is to filter out who has read the rules and who hasn`t. So, on to the last two items in the field. In the ``why we should donate to you`` field, put, of course, the reason why you think we should donate to you. Do whatever you want with this field, really. You can be completely sincere or completely creative - it`s up to you, really. Lastly, we`d like you to fill out the ``favorite item & why`` field with your favorite Gaian item and, of course, why. It doesn`t have to be an item you have, but we`re just curious.
