UberMent BETA
I recently concocted a really neat thing called...Uberment. People group up into teams and the teams compete to win mints (points). Mints can be earned by winning contests like the SOTM and other various activities scattered about the site. If you can get mints from winning a competition, then it will ay so on the game's page. Cheating will result i the loss of all your points.
When a team earns five mints, they receive a 'fig'. A fig can then be redeemed for custom made content, and if you own a website you're allowed to claim them as your own and redistribute them. Take a look at the more indepth guide to entering Uberment.
Step 1: Make a Team
There are two types of teams, Site Teams and Independent Teams. All those nice titles mean is that Site Team participants also work at a site, and Independant Team members don't. For each site, there can only be one team, and the team will be named after the site (For example, Team Figmint).Also, each team can only have two members at a time. With Independent Teams, you can not change partners once you enter the contest without deleting your team and starting new with no mints. Since Site Teams represent a whole site, they can switch team members to give others a chance, but only once every five mints/fig earned. Also, you can only be on one team at a time. And finally, If you are creating a site team, be sure to talk to the site owner first.
When you have your team and team name, go here so I can officially approve it. It will then be added to the list of official teams. When you earn mints, they'll be added to your team balance on the board.
Step 2: Earning Mints
Currently, there are only a few ways to earn points.- The SOTM (1st place, 3 mints; 2nd, 2 mints; 3rd, 1 mint, everyone else, 1/2 of a mint.)
- The graphics contest.
- By contributing to the site w/o being a member. Go here to do so.
- By submitting ideas considered to be brilliant by me. Also uder the extra submissions section of the forum here.
