Grand Competition FAQ
frequently asked questions & information

The Grand Competition is a new event you will be experiencing on this board. This big competition has been set up as a 'welcome back' surprise for the members and of course, like any competition, we will be offering prizes and lots of fun to those which will be participating. Here you will be able to read about the competition, it's rules, prizes and any other cruical information which you will need to do well in the competition.

If there are any questions which haven't been accordingly answered and which didn't bring to your attention any information, please contact a member of the staff trough either the User Feedback forum which serves as our support forum or just send a personal message to a member of staff and they will certainly inform the rest of the staff team about it.

Now let's get to the questions (Q:) and answers (A:);


Q: What is this competition about?
A: This competition is about having fun and of course winning some easy prizes for you. There isn't any simpler answer.

Q: How do I participate in the competition?
A: To participate, you have to simply make a topic in this forum (the Contest Fair forum) with the topic title saying [username]'s Referrals, and using this format;

Code:
 
[b]Username:[/b] (your username on the board)
[b]Starting Post Count:[/b] (post count you have started with when you posted the topic)
[b]Note:[/b] (anything you wish you would say to other people, abiding the terms of service of course)


And that's about it. There are no other details to follow, just make sure you apply the format well and to delete the messages in the bracket!

Q: What do I have to do in the competition?
A: First off, the competition has two parts. The first part is the referral contest where your goal is to referr people to this forum and make them register as a member. The second part is the posting contest where you have to post around the forum to score points. You can enter the contests as you wish and you can participate in both, but also, it's fine if you join one. If you aren't interested at all in it, you aren't obligated to join any.

Q: Could you explain how the referral contest works?
A: Sure. The system works so that you have to tell your friends, family members, or other people you know to join this forum and register as a member. Once they've successfully registered, they should post in your referral topic located in the Contest Fair forum and say that you have referred them here.

Q: How many points do I get for each referred member that posts in my topic?
A: You get one point for each referred member, however, if the member posts around the community, for each 10th post he makes (for example; once he has 10 posts, or 20 posts, or 30 posts and so on) you will be getting one additional point.

Q: What if one of my friends wants to join the competition and I referred him?
A: He can of course compete as well! He should just create his own topic as well and that's it. You still get points for his posts, however you don't get any points for your friend's referrals.

Q: And how does the posting competition work?
A: Easy. When you've made your topic, we will count how many posts you have, and for each 15th post (for example; once you have 15 posts, 30 posts, 45 posts and so on) you will get one point. However, note this! If you have wrote in your contest topic that you started with some post count that isn't zero or one, we won't count them in as points. This is unfortunately just a precaution for cheaters, so please enter the contest soon if you wish to participate in it. Perhaps it's a good advice to enter the competition right away, and if you don't want to participate later on, we can always delete your competition topic or just close it if you will change your mind later to once again compete in it. It's just a smart move to create your topic right away and to remain safe.

Q: What if I would be cheating?
A: When we find out that you are cheating, we will be closing your topic and disqualifying you from the competition.

Q: Will cheating affect my referred members that are partaking in the competition?
A: No, not at all, unless they are cheating as well.

Q: How do I report a person that I think is cheating?
A: If you found a person that is cheating, then please send a personal message to an administrator and we'll take a look. Also, please specify why you think the person is cheating. We also would like you to rather send a personal message then to put it in the support forum, because we wouldn't like any public conflicts so please refrain from posting it somewhere public.

Q: Where are the prizes?
A: Scroll a bit down and you surely won't miss them.



But that's not the end of it, for every competition there's always prizes! We've made the prizes much diverse so that everyone may pick what package they like the most. Please note that each package is limited, and whichever package is taken by the first place, cannot be chosen by the second place. Third place, let's say, gets the leftovers.

Developer Package
  • Print designed after the winner's specifics.
  • Minor graphics designed matching the print.
  • .PSD pack for learning rights only.
  • Two week advertisement package.
  • Limited usergroup membership.
  • View of what is brewing in the staff room.
  • ... and many more included!


Member Package
  • Two week advertisement package.
  • Matching advertisement signature to the winner's specifics.
  • A smashing signature and avatar to boost your achievement.
  • Limited usergroup membership.
  • View of what is brewing in the staff room.
  • ... and many more included!


Also on a more important note; the package list is not finalized and there will be many structural changes or generally, changes that will affect the prizes or the competition. This message is just a precaution for all participaters to not be confused when something gets changed. We might remove some prizes, but if so, we will definitely try and replace it with something else. This what you see is still not everything but just a small preview and idea of what is so far offered, and of course the third package now being hidden until we utilize everything perfectly, and to of course give a more mysterious atmosphere regarding what the members might win. We're sure that the prizes aren't disappointing.
