Elftown Expansion Lobbying
EEL - a contest suggestion
You will earn a nice eel badge, you will meet new people and you get to brag. The goal of this contest is to tell how great you have been about activating new (or old) members. When enough people have rated you, you'll get the badge! (How big your rating is doesn't matter except for your ego.).
Rule: You must vote for yourself! You are not allowed to beg for votes, but you're free to mention that you're competing here.
Deadline: Ongoing.

[
wicked fae mage] I talk to a lot of random people listed in the interesting people part of the pane (Even though 8 of 10 times they're already my friend.) I have recruited several people ([
MyAlterEgo], [
fredmeister77], [
Desi the Red Rose], [
the lucid nightmare] [
bigscaryhat]. [
Triso]) and encouraged them to post their work for others to see. I have been supporting people who want to be part of the crew ([
Ravendust] and [
*Phoenix*]). A personal accomplishment was having [
Ninja Smurf]'s wiki
what inspires you? as a feature after nominating it.
[
Ravendust] As a four year member of Elftown I have relatively recently decided to challenge myself by setting up an application for
Apply to the crew! Roleplaying is a large part of mine and my friends ET daily life. I myself have created and moderated or co-moderated many RPs, some of which include:
The 12,
Bitter Song of the Sand (which has many side stories created out of amusement and creative desire by [
wicked fae mage] and myself), and
Distorted Perceptions. I have been a featured poet 3 times in my ET career and have participated in quite a few contests, some official, some not so much. On top of mass inviting friends to contests I have participated in or feel they'll enjoy, I have also lured several friends to the site; [
wicked fae mage], and through her [
the lucid nightmare], [
Desi the Red Rose]. I have also kept quite a few members active through the love of Rping and general ET fun- [
Dezmond] being a prime example...
[
Silver Moon] I have been a member of Elftown for years and a very active rpg player. Through the love of rpging and the dedication to elftown I introduced several new Elftowners to this cite including my brother
[
July 47], [
Gypsy Mystik], and [
Amathya] among others. Through my rpgs I have been able to keep [
Gypsy Mystik] and [
Amathya] interested in ET and they have started rpgs of their own. I have promoted Et to other people on my university campus in the hopes that they will check it out and perhaps join as well. Among my active rpgs I have created
The Tower of Seletar,
The Mask She Wears,
The Slave Hold,
Whispers of the Past Chapter and many others. I have also helped new members navigate around ET when they have had difficulty in doing so.
I have helped new members understand how to post on wikis and put in dividers and graphics.
[
Skydancer] Massive artist resource manager and provider. Constantly connecting world class artists from DA to our resources here and working to bring the excellent stock artists there to also submit their work here.
[
Eyden13] I've been constantly involved in rp, stories and other things around elftown. I've even become the professor of
musics in the
Elftown Academy. I've tried very hard to get new members by e-mailing all of my friends, creative writing class members, and other acquaintances but none seem to join. However, once a week i check the new member page list and send welcome message and helping hand to the new members of elftown.
[
Mortified Penguin] I'm constantly telling people to join Elftown. I approach friends and other people that I may see drawing or writing and inform them of the wonders of Elftown and all it has to offer. I've invited two douches using the "invite" thing, but they lost interest, because they are jerks and should be beaten with a crowbar. In addition my simple, friendly requests for people to join, I also often take to the streets and assault pedestrians with baseball bats. Usually these situations end in a chase and, more often than not, a hostage situation. Most of the time I get too distracted to remember to tell them about Elftown, but my intentions are still good. Also, I often advertise Elftown in the internet's most sordid and seedy websites, where no one else has ever even thought to advertise. I'm a pioneer!
[
Flisky] I talk to everyone I can and am generally nice to people. I have run RPGs, participated in RPs, done art critiques, read lots of stories, and looked at tons of houses. I invited my friend [
Maloryn], who is now an active member and tell people I know about Elftown as often as I can.
Stumble!
