THE KINDNESS TERRORISM ACT
Hello Colors Trade, today I (with the help of a lot of excellent people) bring in an unofficial initiative to help out the newest members get a little bit of footing! It isn’t much, but I thought it’d be really nice for people who have a card or two to spare to put them up in a donation pool to hand out randomly, and so here’s the idea!
People who reply here will be get one or more random cards and HOPEFULLY at least one crayon (see details below). Here’s the catch, though! This is exclusively for red level players, meaning that anyone who currently has less than 101 cards can come and get a freebie here.
How will it work?
Well, there are two sides to this!
DONORS: if you have cards you're willing to donate, please HEAD HERE and do so! Please make certain to follow the instructions and put up the number of cards you’re giving out to make math easy :)d
As you can see up there, I would like for people to get crayons as well, but I do understand those are a little harder to part with. There is a thread for you to donate crayons in, but if we don’t reach a minimum number of donations (which will be the same exact numbers of red level players signing up for this) all crayons will be returned to the donors, since it’s unfair to give them out only to some people but not everyone.
NEW PLAYERS: if you're a red level player, simply reply to this post with a link to your card post, so we can confirm your eligibility!
How and when will the cards be handed out?
In order to give everyone a fair chance at seeing this, the post will remain open for a week, at the end of which cards will be divided evenly and handed out randomly. As you can see, the post to donate cards has screened comments -- this is so there can be a certain element of surprise! What’s going to happen is that basically two lists (cards and players) are going to be randomized, and who gets what will be decided by that.
Everyone will get the same number of cards, so any cards that can't be fairly divided will be randomized and returned to those donors as a trade!
DONATIONS AND SIGN-UPS WILL CLOSE ON JULY 25, AT 9 PM EST! CLOSED
