❄️RECOLLÉ HOLIDAY CHARITY DRIVE❄️
because giving is just as nice as receiving...and vice versa

[ UPDATES ]

⛄ THE EVENT

That's right! Your local volunteer association ReVA is organizing this event, spearheaded by two of its coordinators Minako Arisato (complementing) and Terra Mason (lingeringwill), who are played by me (Rayne) and AJ respectively!

ReVA is organizing this charity drive to celebrate the season and encourage the spreading of some hearty holiday spirit. Participants will be performing CHORES in the city. Doing so will earn them TICKETS, which will enter them in a PRIZE DRAWING. Because giving back to the community will give you a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart, but a free present for yourself would be even better, right? There will also be a WINTER FESTIVAL at the conclusion of the charity drive for characters to party it up at! Here's the timetable:

＊ November 18th ==========> sign ups start
＊ December 2nd, 12AM PST ===> sign ups end, chore list distribution, final prize tiers revealed
＊ December 3rd-16th =======> threading and ticket reporting period
＊ December 16th, 12AM PST ===> end of reporting period
＊ December 17th ==========> winter festival log and announcement of RNG’d prize winners

Now to explain what all this means!

🎁 THE CHORES AND THE PRIZES: CHORES LIST | PRIZE DONATIONS

The acts of charity that participants will be involved in are outlined in the GDoc above, titled CHORES LIST.

Teams will be given a randomized 3 chores to perform on December 2nd. Performing 1 CHORE (a minimum of 5 comments per character, for 10 comments total) and reporting the thread to your team's top level earns each character 1 TICKET.

Prizes will come in a tiered system like so, and in general there will be a lot prizes to win thanks to ReVA's budget for the event. The listed prizes are only examples, and we are taking IC prize donations at every tier, but especially for the grand prize! The final prize list will be announced on December 2nd, midnight PST.

＊ 1 Ticket ====> Automatic entry into the grand prize
＊ 2 Tickets ===> Tier 1 Prizes (Nerf guns, gift cards, giant inflatable hammer, etc)
＊ 3 Tickets ===> Tier 2 Prizes (single day free entry tickets to various city attractions, free dinner for 4 at a local AYCE buffet restaurant, etc)
＊ 4 Tickets ===> Tier 3 Prizes (free dinner for 2 at a fancy restaurant, a GoPro camera, a Nintendo Switch, etc)
＊ 5+ Tickets ==> Grand Prize (includes a $1000 donation to a charity of the winner's choice)

Ticket amounts are cumulative, i.e. you only need 2 tickets/2 threads in order to be entered into the Tier 1 prize drawing, not 3 tickets/3 threads.

Thanks to our lovely mods, players can also earn a MEMORY REGAIN FREEBIE in December for their characters if they obtain 2 tickets. That is to say, players are eligible for the freebie if they participate in 2 threads and report 2 tickets for their character. Please report these as normal to the regains page once either AJ or I approve your threads.

🔔 THE SIGN UPS AND TICKETS: CHORE TEAMS | TICKET TEAMS | RNG A PARTNER

For this event, there are two kinds of teams. The first kind are the CHORE TEAMS. The chore teams are made up of two characters only. These will who will be performing the chores! If you have a partner, have one person report the paired team to the CHORE TEAMS top level above. Alternatively, you can submit your character's name to a list at the RNG A PARTNER top level to request a random partner.

The second kind of teams are the TICKET TEAMS. Ticket teams can be different from the chore teams and do not have to be limited to just two characters! Participants are allowed to pool their tickets together with friends to try for higher tiers of prizes, so have one person from the group the team to the TICKET TEAMS top level above if that's the case. Just know that prizes won't be doubled, etc. for larger groups, so characters will have to agree to split the prize if they win something.

Whether you're entering in the prize drawings by yourself or as a group, please make sure that your character is accounted for in both the CHORE TEAMS and TICKET TEAMS top levels!

A side note: ICly, characters are given their tickets by whoever is overseeing their charity chore, i.e. the store’s manager, the caroling troupe master, the YMCA leader, and so on.

Prize Donation: One batch of a dozen homemade snowflake shortbread cookies packaged in a cute holiday tin. They have the taste and look of a decent but obviously homemade cookie.

Notably though, these cookies have a constant shimmer effect to them as they've enchanted. When consumed they will heal a the eater a small amount (small cuts, light bruising, sore muscles, etc). Enchantment wears off once the cookies go stale.

DECEMBER 1ST REMINDERS AND UPDATES

[complementing]

I have 62 people on my RNG list of volunteers right now, you guys...I'm so happy you're ready to for charity drive shenanigans. I have some last minute reminders for you!
__________

Deadline is December 2nd, 11:59PM PST to sign up!

I'm sorry I didn't write this down anywhere before, but YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE MULTIPLE CHORE TEAMS. You can also make your own chore team and be on the RNG list, but if you're making your own chore team, you must make a top level for it under the Chore Teams header before the deadline is over.

When reporting ticket threads, a simple hyperlink to the thread is all we need.

Please don't forget to CREATE A TOP LEVEL UNDER THE TICKET TEAMS HEADER when you've eventually figured out who you want to pool your tickets with. This is for the IC prize drawing. If you don't want to pool tickets with anyone, that's also fine, of course.

Remember that chores will be randomized and given to you by AJ and me! Please don't choose chores on your own.

And finally YOU CAN ASK FOR MORE CHORES if you complete the three that we give you, just reply here and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

[complementing]

Hi everyone! I hope you've been having fun with your chores! This is your final update from me.
__________

Deadline to report your threads is tomorrow, December 16th, at 11:59PM PST. If you don't report your threads, you will not be eligible to get the freebie memory regain! Please look for a tag from me or AJ under your chore team header that states your threads have been okay'd for the freebie regain, which you can then submit to the mods.

Please post under the TICKET TEAM header with your ticket teams so that we can RNG the IC prizes!

Finally, if all goes well, the winter festival log will be going up on the 17th!

FURTHER UPDATES

[recollecters]

Hey guys, as a quick clarification from us as well! Several of you have already turned in threads for your charity freebie and linked your chore turn-in comments which we have signed off ourselves.

Though the turn-in time for tickets ICly is 12/16 at 11:59PM as per Rayn'es update, for the freebie itself we will extend this deadline until the end of December like our usual monthly freebies. As it's the holiday season, we do realize people have been busy with finals for school/work/holiday things/etc and would like to give people who have started their threads a chance to finish and be eligible.

With that said, while threads turned in after the 16th deadline will not qualify you for the IC prizes, you may reply to your chore sign-up top-levels with threads linking to your chores and submit those comments to us for our review and approval. We will proceed from there. Thank you for your cooperation!
