69TH HUNGER GAMES POST-A-THON

What's a tribute without a sponsor?
In a whole lot of trouble!

[/i] get to be a sponsor!! This is a very coveted position because the tributes need you. That's right. Well, mostly they need your hard-earned monies. And you know how we get more of those, right?

We post! In character! A lot!!

The 69th Games Sponsor Post-a-Thon will be a bonanza of good quality posts, which will lead to prizes. Who said prizes!? I did![/ul][/font][/font]

[/a] board in the District Square to track your posts.

NOTE: If you had a post-a-thon thread from the 58th-68th, please edit the first post to clearly reflect your pledge and count for the 69th. If you want to keep your tracker from previous Games, just post them into a reply to the same thread.

When you post your sign up, you must pledge a minimum word count you will meet for the event. This event will run from FEB 13TH to MAR 1ST, making it two weeks long. This will give the winner the opportunity to actually use the money to sponsor someone before everything gets too expensive.

The minimum pledge word count shall be 5,000 in-character words. This is why we have the tracker - no OOC posts will count. Nor will Games posts! This is so that the playing field is level for tributes and non, alike. 5k words is roughly 10 pages worth of writing, for perspective.

Your thread tacker must include the following, or you will be disqualified:

¤ Link to each in character thread.
¤ Word count tallied per post.
¤ Date from which you are counting! This is critical if you are counting posts from an existing thread.


Par example:[/font]

Thread Title - 304 words // Started Feb 15th
Thread Title - 1986 words // As from Feb 25th[/font]


See? Easy, peasy, febreezy.[/ul]

That's right! We're trying something new, so listen up my little ducklings! This year we are adding on a totally new portion to the PAT. Instead of racing each other to hit 10k first, there will be an 'Of The PAT' award. You may notice the similarity there to 'Of The Month'. This is because there is one. This games, the winner of the special prize will not be decided by speed or quantity but by quality! That's right, we're turning the tables on y'all!

But Ele, how is that going to work?

Settle down my little quackers, here's how things will go in an easy to read, bullet point list made just for clarity:

[/b]
¤ A nomination form will go up, where you can nominate and link your favourite post/bio that you have read by a PAT writer.
¤ When the nomination period is complete, a voting form will go up with the top nominations.
¤ Everyone, PAT writer or not, may then vote on the piece that they think best deserves the spotlight.
¤ When the voting period ends, the votes will be tallied and the winner announced!
¤ The prize for this portion will be $2,500![/font][/font][/ul][/font][/font][/ul]

[/font][/b]! How's that for hitting the target?

The admins will select one winner, someone who stands out from the crowd. The winner may totally pwn their expected goal, or they may bring themselves to a new level of writing. In either case, it will be up to the admins to award... $5000!!

Lookit all them zeros!
