Announcement: Garden Festival & Booth Applications

[chacusha]

Hello everyone! You might have seen some mentions of the Garden Festival before, but here's the official announcement -- ff_land's first ever Garden Festival will be held from August 1st to August 15th at our shiny new events community, ff_eventsquare!

(If you go to that comm, though, it's just a sad and empty place for now, because we're not done setting up yet!)

So what's the Garden Festival? It's basically an excuse to throw a party :D Well, in all seriousness, it's actually so that non-members get a chance to see what it's like in ff_land. Right now the only public communities are ff_land, ff_classchange, and moogle_workshop. But for 15 days, there'll be tons of activities and games running, and everyone is welcome to participate, especially non-members!

Even better; if you've participated and decided that hey, it's a pretty fun thing, maybe I wanna join; you'll get to keep all of the prizes that you've won (in the form of game points)!

And for our current members, the Garden Festival is also a chance for you to run activities!

lightofeilia mentioned the booth system earlier in a post over at airship_lounge, but basically the gist of it is that these activities and games mentioned above will be held in the form of booths/stalls, kind of like at a carnival. So if you have an idea for a booth and want to run it, you can apply at this post. There's also a suggestion thread in the comments if you have an idea but don't particularly want to run a booth.

If you don't have an idea but want to help out anyway, you can brainstorm on other suggestions and fill out a booth application later. If you just want to help out on someone else's booth, there's a helper application you can fill out and post as a reply to an existing booth application.

Booth Application Form
<u>Booth application</u> <b>Name:</b> <b>Class:</b> <b>Booth Name:</b> (put a title here! "Eilia's Crazy Stampeding Chocobos Minigame", for example) <b>Booth Info:</b> (what's your booth about? "Come in and stampede some chocobos! Prizes to be won!") <b>Proposed Layout/Setup:</b> (how will you run this? explain briefly. If you don't have an idea, don't worry, I'll try to help, but do your best) <b>Prizes/Participation:</b> (how many points will you award for winning?) <b>On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being easy and 5 being difficult), how much work do you think will go into <i>maintaining</i> this booth?:</b> <b>If you answered 4 or 5 to the above question, would you want a helper to help you out?:</b>

Helper Application Form
<u>Helper Application</u> <b>Name:</b> <b>Class:</b> <b>Name of booth you would like to help out in:</b> <b>Give a few reasons saying how you could help out, assuming you've already read the booth application.</b>

What's the reward for running booths? YOU GET GIL! Yes, shiny gil. Because of this, however, there'll be a limit to the number of booths that are gonna be held, just so that we don't overcrowd. We'll get back to you on the limit as soon as we see how many people are applying.

Schedule
Applications will be closed on July 15th. From July 16th to July 31st, all booth owners will be setting up their booths over at our events community. Then, we'll open the festival on the 1st of August.

Let's get those applications up and running!


Note: The events in ff_eventsquare will be public, so you do not need to join it in order to participate in the Garden Festival. The only people that will be invited to it are those running a stand.

LET'S MAKE IT OFFICIAL OKAY (yes, you're lucky, because D + coffee + night = hyperactivity I guess)

Booth application
Name: D
Class: Dragoon
Booth Name: Scratch Cards
Booth Info: People pick certain spots on the card and "scratch" them, and if they match, they win. Namingway is wild.
Proposed Layout/Setup:I will now link you to my horribly messy thread I kept secret that one time:
http://tin-reality.livejournal.com/10644.html
Prizes/Participation: Prizes are what's on the card. How much they win is anywhere from 0-50 gil and 2 points participation per card. Cards might be charged, if I have two sets. If not, there's no charge.
On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being easy and 5 being difficult), how much work do you think will go into maintaining this booth?: It's very easy, so, 1, but it involves pre-planning to run smoothly. there may be a card limit, depending on how quickly I can get to everyone's comments.
If you answered 4 or 5 to the above question, would you want a helper to help you out?: Blah blah blah, I said 1.

I just read the post =.= and so deleted my earlier comment xD

Okay, prizes are points and gil is for participation, and while I like the idea of being able to buy two different versions of a card, that would require people to keep track of their gil...

It went opposite? That's okay, I can fix that. And yeah, I thought maybe two types of cards would be too much on me anyway, so it works out. We'll do the scratch till you win way.

Okay! :D Since you're running this booth, are you still going to be my helper for my booth? Or will that be too much work?

I can still be your helper; this booth proves to be stupidly easy, especially if I do all the necessary preparations.
