OK, I have a few things to say before I copy-and-paste in my updates. First of all, today is the day where recurring member points and userbar points are updated. If you want to receive userbar points today but you haven't, please place a userbar in your signature, and post here so I know you have it. If you do so after midnight EST tonight, you will not receive points until next Tuesday.
Next, 2Cool4Mewtwo's idea of "Elite Status" has been implemented with a few changes. To attain Elite Status, you must earn a total of 750 points in this club, and it will be given automatically. Spending points does not take away from points earned towards gaining Elite Status. (For example, a user that earns 100 points, spends them, then earns another 650 gets Elite Status) Elite Status does not cost you points. When you have Elite Status, all points you earn are doubled. You will have a star next to your name to indicate Elite Status. 2Cool4Mewtwo's idea of custom member color has been added as a benefit to all members at the cost of 100 points. 2Cool4Mewtwo, as a reward for giving this idea, you have earned a bonus 100 points. Also, upon reading this, please PM me for your choice of a free new partner Pokemon or shiny upgrade.
After posting this, I will copy-and-paste in all of my updates. And, finally, time for the much-anticipated event! Below is how the event will appear in the OP:
Classic Profile Designer Contest
Time for another event! For this event, you are to theme your entire profile, profile picture, avatar, and signature, around a Gen I Pokemon, or family of Gen I Pokemon.
Specific rules:
- Your theme may not include any Pokemon that are not from Gen I.
- For the signature, you may include userbars from other clubs; they will not be used in judging.
- To maintain fairness to non-supporters/non-staff, supporters/staff that participate are NOT allowed to use background images in their final profile design. This is due to the fact that non-supporters/non-staff don't have the ability to use background images.
- To join, post in this club indicating that you would like to join. I will add your name to the participants list. Joining earns you 20 points.
- You have from now until January 17, 2012, at 11:59PM EST to have your theme ready.
- Voting will run from the end of the allotted design period until January 24, 2012, at 11:59PM EST. You are to vote for ONE PERSON, and it can't be yourself. I may end voting early if all active members have already voted. During the voting period, you may not make any changes to your theme or you will be disqualified.
- The winner receives 200 points, plus a free new partner Pokemon or shiny upgrade.
