Well, my video today didn't go as planned. But! I'm still here to explain to you my platform.
First, my video:
Second, the explanation.
Brian's New and Improved Raffle Games!
Last year we had KC's raffle games where the winner each month would receive a $50 Amazon gift card. I loved the idea of the games, but I'm not a fan of the prize money, just because it was a bit of a sticky situation to offer money as an incentive for votes. But I think cookies are fair game!
Each month I will be hosting some sort of game in which the participants will earn raffle tickets for performing well. Last year there were some incredibly fun months that I'm definitely going to bring back this time (Secret Santa in particular), but there were also some duds (Draw a Kitty, anyone?) that won't be making an appearance. I'm going to make sure to have each month be a fulfilling game, even some that FE has never had before.
What to expect:
GAMES:
- Secret Santa
- itsbigbrotheryay 2
- ProFEct Runway
- BYOR Mafia 2
- Choose Your Own Adventure
- Un-named Co-op Game I'm brainstorming
- Survivor
- And More!
-There will be a game every month. I've already decided that sign-ups for a month will begin in the previous month, regardless of if there's still a game going. If two raffle games end up being hosted at once, so be it! I'm promising 12 games, you're going to get 12 games.
-12 games, 12 dozens. Each month's winner will be gifted a dozen cookies made by me.
**Options! I can guarantee that if you want chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin that they will be delicious, but if you find a recipe for a cookie and you want me to make it from scratch, I'm totally down to do it (I just can't guarantee turn out well). If you give me a recipe to make from scratch, I can also make a video showing my process of baking them (if you want).
**Alternatives: If you don't want to give out your address (though if you want to play in Secret Santa you'll have to..), that's fine, you can donate your dozen to another FE member or I have an alternative reward planned with the help of a talented FE member. But really you should pick the cookies
**Baker's dozen: October will actually have a bonus competition that wouldn't really qualify as a game (costume contest), so I'll be offering 2 different prizes that month. One for the game winner, and one for who FE decides has the best Halloween costume.
-Member input! Although I have an idea of what to do for most of the months, I want your ideas as well! Is there a game you've always wanted someone to make but have never seen? Let me know!
-New members! There's a reason the mafia game I hosted last year was the largest on-site game, and it's because I've got mad connections, yo. I'm relatively new to FE but I've been playing ORGs since I was 16. I'm an active member of a few different communities and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to show off FE some more.
-More??? I'm sure there's more that I've thought of but forgot to include here, so I'll be sure to update this thread!
