LAVISHING LOVERS
*the setup for this thread has an exception regarding the no gradient text rule

So, Valentine's Day is approaching, and as the customs in the land of Midorea state, Midoreans are usually quite interactive during this time. And, this traditional custom celebrated throughout the lands of Midorea is called, Lavishing Lovers.

What is Lavishing Lovers you ask? Well, being as forthright as possible, it's basically a fun little thing where you get to give gifts while making a new friend in the process! Of course, if you participate, it'll mean you'll get something in return...but since this is all done in the spirit of loving one another, who cares about receiving? Just have fun and be happy to give! <3

How To Play

► Fill out a form and post it in this thread

► Get ready for your Lavishing Lovers assignment person by saving up funds, getting your art supplies ready, creative writing juices flowing, or whatever you want to give your person

► Once you get your assignment, you see who you have and what sort of stuff they want. Then you start preparing a whole array of gifts for them. But don't forget to keep yourself secret! Cause it's more fun to guess who your Lavishing Lover is! ;D

So whaddaya say? Sound fun enough for you? I hope so, cause this'll be like totally awesome!

Lavishing Lovers Rules

► You must keep yourself secret until Valentine's Day (February 14th). So if you're sending items, please wait till the last day or do it via a second party that will not disclose your identity.

► If you need your mules renamed, then feel free to contact me via pm and I'll change it for you. :3 I will change them back after the event.

► A minimum of three gifts must be sent! And nothing cheap please, so don't go sending 25 silver to your person for three days as it totally won't be fair to them. Try making it something special that they'll remember for a long time. <3

► If you sign up but fail to uphold your end of the deal and don't send your person things, you will be penalized. For every item you do not send, you will be fined 333 silver (so if you don't give three gifts you lose 999 silver, if you only give one you lose 666 silver, and if you only give two you lose 333 silver).

► If you have a valid excuse as to why you can't give your gifts in time, then PM ariKana and let her know!! Otherwise you will be penalized the silver amounts aforementioned above!

Some Simple Ideas

► Use a mule, a secret email, messenger, or whatever else to contact your Lavishing Lover assignment person. This will be your best way of delivering gifts! If all of the above options are inconvenient for you to deliver your gifts, and it is before the last day, then PM Catghost or ariKana with the information of your person and we will deliver it for you.

► If there is a certain user you do NOT wish to be paired with or will feel uncomfortable to be paired with them, tell me and I will make sure to not pair you with them. I will do my best to pair people up based on the skills they have and what people want to receive.

► If you will have trouble with your internet connection, PM ariKana and we'll work something out. :3 Just please do not abandon your person!

► Awesome gift ideas you can use are as follows;; avatar art, flobs, signs, pixel art, poems, stories, silver/gold/copper donations, items they are questing for, and whatever other creative ideas you can come up with! <3

Important Dates

► January 24th to 31st;; Sign Up Time!

► February 13th;; Lavishing Lovers Assignments Being Handed Out!

► February 14th;; Lavishing Lovers Begins! Start Sending Your Gifts!

► February 28th;; You May Now Reveal Yourself To Your New Friend (if you have sent out at least 3 gifts)!

► March 7th;; Last Day To Give Gifts! You May Now Reveal Yourself To Your New Friend (if you haven't already)!
