how many times can you spot the letter "l" in:
the 81st hunger games post-a-thon!
especially when we're in the games.
you hid your children, your wife, and your husband from the reaping, and you done good! no tributes for you! but now... what happens? that's right, you 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 81st games sponsor post-a-thon will be a bonanza of good quality posts, which will lead to prizes. who said prizes!? i did!
you may sign up by replying to this thread. it's that easy! between whenever you sign up and february 23rd, you need to make a thread in the post-a-thon board in the district square to track your posts.
note: if you had a post-a-thon thread from the 58th-80th, please edit the first post to clearly reflect your pledge and count for the 81st. 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 now to february 23rd, making it almost 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. this pledge, starting with the 78th post-a-thon, must be made up of at least 50% in threaded posts, meaning a 5,000 word pledge will be directly from out of games, non-bio posts. however, if you have only one bio above the fifty percent point, that's fine tbh.
¤ 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.
everyone who meets their minimum goal by the 23rd of february will be awarded $1,000! 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... $10,000!!
¤ sign up with a response to this thread with your word count goal.
¤ must be at least 5,000 words.
¤ create a tracker thread in the post-a-thon board.
¤ link to the correct tracker.
¤ be sure the tracker has the necessary info, listed above.
¤ posts begin counting now.
¤ posting ends february 23rd.
¤ no ooc posts or games posts will count.
¤ games posts include training center, justice building, past and present games.
¤ everyone who meets their goal will get $1,000.
¤ one winner, chosen by admins, will get $10,000.
¤ as of the 62nd, no one will be allowed to win consecutively (but you could theoretically win multiple times).
¤ as of the 78th, at least 50% of your pledge must be written in threads, outside of bios.
charade will pledge 10k words.
sorry for the delay, games and irl got in the way. a big congrats to our two winners of the 81st post-a-thon, charade and kap! both of them did a fantastic job! congrats to you both! yay!
