<center>Welcome!! This is just a post that I don't have to worry about updating often for the sake of possible polls. You will find the meaty stuff in all of the posts below this.
ALWAYS READ THE WHOLE PAGE AND UPDATES!!

Terribly sorry everyone! Had to close the charity for a few days and when I get the chance to get on I find out that something has happened to a member of my family causing me to take an unintentional leave for the past few days. Won't happen again ((hopefully)) ^-^;;</center>

<center>Welcome Section</center>

<center>Welcome to my charity!! Before you start, please remember: Read the whole first page! You never know when there will be a piece of information you need to know to recieve a donation. Anyways, some may remember Paxael and I (probably Paxael more than me) from an earlier charity, TA50GG (The AMAZING 50 Gold Giveaway). There, I and 2 others aided Paxael on her journey to help Gaians by giving small donations out. We gave out over 13k in gold to over 160 Gaians. Might not sound like much, but every little bit helps ^.^ After our celebration of 200+ pages, including a conga line, and reaching/going past our goal, we started a joined quest. But I'm back (with Paxael's aid of course) now and ready to start up a new, bigger and better charity!! Enjoy!</center>

<center>Rules and Donation Information</center>

<center>Hold on just a second killer. You didn't think you were going to walk in here, take our gold, and leave, did you? ....Didn't think so. In order for a charity to run smoothly, there need to be some guidelines.</center>

Rules
1. You must, must, must, READ THE WHOLE PAGE. You don't want to ruin your chances of getting a donation because you were too lazy to read, do you? (Can't state this enough)
2. Be kind and courteous. We want to give our gold to someone who is nice, not someone who is demanding and greedy.
3. Bump! Stick around, stay a while. Besides, it's kind of rude to post your request for gold, leave, and not come back.
4. Read the first page!
5. No PM's!! Please, it's really annoying to recieve many PM's about getting money and begging for money. Don't make me put you on a blacklist or something to that extent because you were too greedy/impatient/etc.
6. Even though the sub-forum for the Charity/Quests says "Beg for gold here" that does not necessarily mean that it is a good thing. No begging here! Fill out a form and you will recieve one if you meet the requirements and read the rules. Be kind about asking for donations instead of begging your heart out, chances are we are going to ignore you or have a mod step in about it.
7. Rules are not a bad thing. They are in fact, a good thing. They help to reduce conflict between the donators and donatees.
8. If you do get a donation, please be thankful when responding to the trade. Change the title to "Thank you" or something of the sorts.
9. DO NOT EDIT YOUR FORM IF IT IS NOT FILLED OUT CORRECTLY!!
10. You are not to post your form 2 times unless I told you to repost it. If you post one 2 times and neither one are filled out correctly then I can not help you. Only post it twice if I said to or you feel that it was filled out incorrectly.
11. If I was posting in here and suddenly stopped, don't think it is because I don't want to be talking to someone in here, I do! I just like to go around in other forums and lurk and post there. I usually am lurking in the Q&F or some of the Art shops. That's might be where I am if I suddenly leave ^-^;;

Donation Information
If you want a donation, you must meet the requirements and fill out a form!! You must also type in the word "onion" somewhere in the post with the form that is correctly filled out.
Do please fill out the last part of the form!! domokun

Your Name: (screen name)
Questing For:
Quest thread: (if you have one; recommended)
Gold Needed: (the total amount of what you are questing for)
Current Amount: (approx.)
Why:

If you do not have a quest thread, you must have been on Gaia for 2 months and have 200 posts.. I think it's reasonable. But along with that, you must bump 15 times in this thread after posting your form. Number your bumps and no cheating. I will be checking and I will know. I will not keep track of your bumps for you though.

If however, you do have a quest thread, you must also have been a member of Gaia for 2 months with 200 posts. Your quest thread must be active. 10 pages at least is what you should have to be considered active or be 2 weeks old. Either way, the thread has to look active! By active I mean, bumping on it quite often and not months old and only a few pages long. I will give you a second chance to fill out the form if you did not do it correctly. If you did fill it out correctly and did not meet the requirements, then come back and fill it out again.

If you do not meet the part of the 2 month requirement, there may be a chance where I donate to you. If you have been on for only about a month and you have gone way past the 200 post, you may still recieve a donation! For example, If you have been on for one month and have many posts, chances are you will recieve a donation for being that active. But always remember, I do not have to donate to you.

It's just an easy way for me to keep track and for you to know when/if you have a pending donation if the "Trade Pending" Icon does not show.

Ok, sure this charity comes right from my pocket. But that doesn't mean that there were others who were generous to spare some of their money or items to help us run this charity. Those people will be listed here and what they were so kind to donate to us. Please, PLEASE, do not beg these people (or anyone on this thread for that matter) for gold or items. (If you are a donator and do not want your name to be listed for that reason, please just say so ^.^

<center>Updates</center>

This is just a list of updates or events that have happened that I felt like mentioning.

April 2005 News/Updates

March 2005 News/Updates

3-25-05 Donation items came out! I remember talking with Paxael about items similiar to these.
.............Ducky is leaving on Thursday (Thursday the 31st) for a BIG tournament. I will be there from Thursday afternoon to mid-evening on Sunday. I think the hotel has wirseless capabilities so I will be doing my best to be getting on. If I am able to be on, don't expect many donations to be handed out since I will be rooming with team mates. If donations are handed out they will be later in the evening. I might not be accepting any donations. We'll see how things look later.
3-21-05 Ducky and Paxael have been on Gaia for one year. w00t!
.............Avatar contest will stay for one more day. If no one shows up then I will send all contestants back their money. I hope to get at least 7 people at a minimum to start the contest.
3-16-05 BridgeChan joins the avatar contest! But we still need more people to join!! Contest slots will stay open until the end of the weekend!
3-3-05 w00t! The housing sysyem came out!
.............I am going to another tournamnet this Sunday so, expect donations to be done on Monday, or LATE Sunday night, depending on how I feel.
3-1-05 I am starting an Avatar Contest Early for St. Patrick's Day! Contest fee should be sent to my mule...(cleverly namedDuckys Mule) I am starting this contest now since Avatar Contests take a while to attract attention. more information in post nine! (Ctrl + F "Contests" to find it easily)
..............At the beginning of every month, Ducky is now going to give out a small donation to a random quest that she finds on the Charity/Quests forum. Be on the lookout for we don't know when she is going to do this 3nodding

February 2005 News/Updates

2-27-05 I am starting an Avatar Contest Early for St. Patrick's Day! Contest fee should be sent to my mule...(cleverly named Duckys Mule) I am starting this contest now since Avatar Contests take a while to attract attention. more information in post nine! (Ctrl + F "Contests" to find it easily)
2-26-05 Bumping contest is over... Check below posts for winners!
2-24-05 Donation items came out!! xd
2-23-05 I updated a thing or two in the requirements after some thinking about them. Be sure to go over them again.
2-21-05 Ducky is holding a "Pyro Bump" bump contest. Contest will start on page 95. Go to the "Contests" post to find more information! (Ctrl+F and "Contest" to find it easily)
Paxael gave away her first items of the GoodWill. Be sure to be paying attention for she gives them out at randome! 4laugh
2-19-05 Ducky's team came in 3rd place in an Older team Tournament in the Gold brackets. 3nodding
.............I am also looking for sealed letters at a good price to have to sell when/if prices go up for more charity funds.
2-16-05 Ducky wants to hold some type of contest of her own, aside from the Art contest Paxael is having down at the Potent Corner. I set a poll up with a few things that I could think of but there could definately be more options. Have an idea not listed? Please feel free to PM Ducky with your idea.
2-15-05 Regarding the previous announcement. Yes, I am still going, and no, Paxael will not be taking over the charity, and no, it will not be temporarily closed. In fact, where we are staying has wireless internet, which means, I will still be able to stick around! But, Paxael of course will be there with me, since she like lives with me and we are likt attatched to the hip. But anyways, charity will not be temporarily closed or anything, but we will not be on so much during Saturday.
2-13-05 This announcement will be posted again this week but it is kinda important for all to hear. From the afternoon of Friday, February 18, I will be gone for most of the wekend. I am going to a Volleyball tournament that is on Saturday and I am leaving a day early to see family there. I will be back on Sunday so chances are, I will either make the charity temporarily closed, or have Paxael help out some. I will post more information later in the week
2-12-05 Charity construction/opening^^
..............First donation given out^^
..............First donation recieved ^^
..............Paxael started the P.O.C. GoodWill ^^

When scrolling through the Art Freebies one night with Paxael, we came across a cute place called "Fanciful Fruits". With the name of the charity planned, we wanted to place an order here of a Pyrotechnic Onion. So, here we go! Pyrotechnic Onions in a banner. This is with the artist's (Despoena's) permission or course though! Thank you so much!!

Okay let me explain. You, generous Gaian user, trade your unwanted items (this includes but is not limited to: peasant clothes, event items, footwear, and other assorted commons) to Paxael at the Potent Corner who in exchange donates them to grateful and slightly needy Gaians. Your items will be put to good use by making someone else's day. C:
