Hello everyone! Herro here with a brand new event! Starting Thursday, November 17th at midnight (PST) The Positive Tower event will begin. What is The Positive Tower you ask? Well it goes a bit like this:

Once a day each poster is allowed to post up to three (3) positive things about themselves. It can be anything, ranging from small real life things, to things they can do in games (See: Mabinogi).



1. I can cook.
2. I can read at a college level.
3. I give helpful advice to my friends.

Now, on the next day all posters is allowed to post yet another three things. These three must stack onto the tower you are forming, creating the title'd Positive Tower.



1. I can cook.
2. I can read at a college level.
3. I give helpful advice to my friends.
4. I am over level 1000 in mabinogi.
5. I held the position of Royal Alchemist for six months.
6. I defeated Glas with my bare fists

Now you are not allowed to post two of the same things, nor are you able to post two different things that mean the same. "I am nice." and "I am kind" will not work. Judges will be watching to make sure everyone's towers is nicely done.

Now this event will be running exactly 30 days, from November 17th til December 17th, and you can only post 3 things "per day", meaning If you miss a day, you miss out on 3 things to say about yourself. each day will be cut out at midnight PST (3 am EST). The winner will be determined by the highest tower.

The Prize for the winner will be determined by how many levels your tower has. Also the higher the towers will go will determine if 2nd, 3rd, or beyond will be rewarded. In the event that we have less than 7 people by the end of the first week(Thanksgiving) , I will end it short and reward people based on their current standings.

Prize List:

30-39 - $10 Single Prize
40-49 - Chibi Drawing from Adelynn
50-59 - Chibi Drawing + 10$ Single Prize
60-69 - $25 Single Prize
70-79 - $25 Variable Prize
80-89 - $40 Single Prize
90 - $50 Variable Prize + 10k NX Card + Drawing from Addy

Note that there is a huge prize for a perfect (90) tower!

To apply for this event please send me a PM stating your application for this event using the code word "Confidence" (without quotes). Just like in the random raffles i don't mind where it's posted as long as you post it within the body of the PM.

This must be done BEFORE you make your first post (i will check time stamps, if you post in the event topic beforehand ill dq you on the spot.). And please no being mad or sad if you do not follow this rule, its a simple one that can be done within 1 minute. Also note that it's open to join from the beginning to the very last day, just you will lose out on the previous days by joining late.

The reason for this event is that, to be frank, everyone here is awesome. By doing the tower (for prizes or not), you guys can start to see how much more awesome you all are.

If you wish to make comments about this event or help out in the event as a judge, please post here or PM me.

Judges:
Phunkie
Adelynn

P.S. Please move this to Bean Rua After the event thread starts on Thursday, unless you feel this topic is relevant enough to keep in amusement.

Drawing from Addy....

I don't know if I could say that many positive things about myself though.

Do you stack the tower by editing your post each day?

No, you make a new post every day, by copying/pasting the post from before.

Attention all students, due to the Faculty Strike, there will be no classes held on Thursday, enjoy your 4 day break


:glare:
I know what I'm doing this Thursday.

Somehow, I foresee this event being turned into a huge bragging thread, though I suppose such is the nature of this kind of event.

Do the facts need to be relevant at all to each other? Like follow a certain path of info or someshizz like that?

I think I would end up missing a lot of days of saying something positive. Could I be a judge instead?

I dunno. I think the fun about this one will be trying to think up 90 good things you can honestly say about yourself. Trying to come up with 3 each day that you can convince yourself are both true and not just bragging seems hard enough. I'd like to think no one partaking in this will be that narcissistic or insecure that they'll over-exaggerate or make things up.

I agree with you, but I was just saying that after a certain point, it gets kinda difficult to come up with something unique that don't sound a bit brazen, even if they were being brutally honest about it.

Guys, it's okay to brag. That's what this is about. <3
As long as no one is using good things about themselves to put others down, it's alright. xD

1. I gave water to a stray cat a few days ago.
2. A long time ago, I saw a sleeping homeless woman in New York City with her dog, so I gave her the $5 that I had.
3. I never make a bad fun of others, even if they taunt me.




ITS TIME!!!!

1. I am optimistic. I believe that there's always something you can do to make a bad situation into a better one.
2. I live to make others smile and laugh.
3. I'm a crazy romantic.

I know, but I wanted to do it for fun. :XD:

I'm not gonna win anything, but I personally wanna see if I can come up with 90 different nice things about myself. It's a good challenge.

I'm enjoying this event. It's getting increasingly harder to think of anymore positive things after the third day lol

It's great xD It's a really great idea to have something like this to help people think of nice things about themselves

Everyone seems to be doing really well, I haven't seen any repetitive answers yet either.

Though...it's hard to think of these things.

It's interesting to find increasingly creative ways to see something positively about yourself.

Murasaki

It's funny when I think of things that for some reason I haven't thought of before.

Im already struggling to find things to put in.


If I put I found item X in mabi. Would finding item Y be the same thing?

It'd be related, yes.

Also, how is finding an item positive? Perhaps your dedication and motivation towards obtaining something you really want, but not the item itself. haha

Exactly! If x item was obtained through hard work and y through helping someone they will be related but allowed


Edit: It's 1/3 of the way here! For those who didn't answer the question last time I present the question once again:

How are you feeling about this tower?

And for those who did answer:

How are you feeling that's different from the last time you answered?

Haven't really participated, but
After this event is over, I encourage EVERYBODY, whether they have 3 items, or 85493 items, to read through their list from the very beginning and really soak it in.

Murasaki
11-27-2011, 01:36 PM
Come to think of it, I haven't read my list all the way through again. I'm honestly surprised I can still think of new things to say, but I guess looking back at it could help me remember more that I like about myself. o.o

I was wondering about the rewards, what if someone stops at a specific point if they wanted that reward say stopping at 30-39? is that discouraged so that they can try their best to reach even higher?

Cho

This is going to be great when we all go back and read it to see if it feels like we changed or not after going through all of that writing.

I'm surprised that I can think of things off the spot too, but it's a good thing I can. x]
