Attention new members!
On July 1, we will have a raffle for newbies who joined XOC between January 1 and June 31, 2009, in which seven new members will be awarded prizes (Xena-related merchandise). Those who joined earlier than that but made their first post on or after January 1 are also eligible. To qualify, you must achieve board rank of at least First Citizen (100 posts) by July 1, 2009. Those joining on or after June 15 can qualify at the rank of Villager (50 posts), and those joining on or after June 20, at the rank of Mortal.
You will be also included in an extra "frequent poster" drawing (before and in addition to the general one) if you:
* joined in January/February and reached the level of Commander (600 posts) by July 1;
*joined in March/April and reached the level of Warrior (400 posts) by July 1;
* joined in May and reached the level of Warrior-in-Training (200 posts) by July 1;
* joined in June and reached the level of First Citizen (100 posts) by July 1.
You will be included in a third "champion poster" drawing if you:
* joined in January/February and reached the level of One-Star General (1000 posts) by July 1;
* joined in March/April and reached the level of Commander (600 posts) by July 1;
* joined in May and reached the level of Warrior (400 posts) by July 1;
* joined in June and reached the level of Warrior-in-Training (200 posts) by July 1.
Here's how the raffle will work:
1. The "champion poster" drawing will be held first. One winner will be randomly selected (the handles will be written on the back of cards and the card drawn from a box). Those who did not win will then be entered again into the "frequent poster" drawing.
2. The "frequent poster" drawing will be held next. Again, one winner will be selected. The "champion posters" and "frequent posters" who did not win will then be entered again into the general raffle.
2. The "general raffle" will be held last, with the "champion posters" and "frequent posters" participating again along with everyone else who qualifies. Five winners will be randomly selected.
If you'd like to be entered into the raffle, please make a post here.
Note: While we obviously want to encourage our posters to be active, this is not an invitation to spam the board. If we notice anyone making large numbers of quick and meaningless posts with the obvious intent of padding their post count, they will be admonished by the mods and may be disqualified from the extra rounds of the raffle.
