Guide coming soon! See [https://mothkitten.deviantart.com/journal/Community-Garden-Improvement-Bingo-740578884 here] in the meantime!

 

The Community Garden(/Improvement Bingo) is an activity wherein members can take on daily challenges for a set span of time to obtain points toward rewards in a shop. The nature of these is open-ended, as they are primarily intended to reward members for bettering themselves.

== Rules & Guidelines ==

Any of these rules may be changed to suit a particular prompt. These are just general guidelines and care should always be taken to read the individual prompt's rules.

 

=== General Rules ===

# Only Mothcats members are allowed to participate. (All members automatically agree to our Species Terms and Conditions.)

# All participants must have a Mothcat Bank.

# Members do not need to own a Mothcat to participate.

# Both admins and members can participate.

 === Community Garden Guidelines ===# Participants may take on the community prompt and one personal prompt per month cycle (beginning on the fifth first of each month.)## Participants may complete challenges which extend past the 15th of the following monthmonthly rollover. However, they may not take on a new challenge of that type until they complete their existing one.# Participants may begin on either the day they register or the following day. The challenge is considered begun once the first entry is posted, or failing that, on the day following registration.

# Entries for each (community and personal) prompt must be unique between them-- that is, you can't use the same entry for both.

## Entries may, however, be used for other activities, such as [[quests]].

== How to Participate ==

# Read the [https://mothkitten.deviantartmothcats.com/journalinfo/Community-Garden-Improvement-Bingo-740578884 bingo Community Garden] journalinformation, and check the month's community prompt and/or consider a personal prompt, as well as your desired challenge duration for either or both.

# Read the community prompt and rules -OR- read the personal prompt rules and come up with an appropriate daily activity.

# Register your challenge at the appropriate hub.

# Carry out the relevant activity daily for 9, 16, or 25 days depending on your selected difficulty.'''You do not need to wait for approval to begin!'''# Submit your completed prompt log at the Community Garden journalon Mothcats.com.

# Wait for a market runner to approve your completed log and award you points.

# (Optional) Purchase rewards using your points at the [https://mothcats.com/shops/1 Community Garden Store].

 

== Prompts and You ==

[[File:Improvement Bingo Sample Board.png|thumb|A fully completed hard difficulty board.]]

'''Community Prompts''' will often have participants make something in a creative fashion. (This is, after all, part of an ARPG, though the products need not be Mothcats-associated.)

 

'''Personal Prompts''' are more freeform, and participant-defined. They do not have to involve Mothcats or even any creative endeavor.

 

For some ideas, general challenges that have been undertaken in the past include:

* Updating character bios

* Making a design a day

* Exercising

* Working through personal project backlogs

* (and much, much more.)

== Updating Your Bank ==Participants can document rewards purchased have three difficulties to choose from [https://sta-- easy, medium, and hard-- with 9, 16, and 25 day durations respectively.sh/0pxmlctn3mp Prize Shop] Challenges are considered "finished" after that number of days have elapsed, starting from the first entry (or, failing that, the day after registration.) Challenges must be submitted in their Transaction Log on their Mothcat Bank journals using the following form:order to be awarded points.

{{Transcluded|Managing User Banks}}{{#lsth:Managing User Banks|Once a challenge has ended and been submitted, a bingo board of the appropriate dimensions (3x3, 4x4, or 5x5 for easy, medium, and hard respectively) will be randomly rolled and each day of the challenge completed marked off on that board. Points are awarded for each match made (3, 4, or 5 days completed in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line) and a bonus is given for a full board. == the Community Garden Store ==The Community Garden}}Store contains the various goods participants may purchase with earned points. There are three kinds of stock:* '''General stock''', which is always present.* '''Seasonal stock''', which rotates with the seasons. The next seasonal rotation is listed in the community garden journal.* '''Monthly stock''', which rotates on the 1st of each month along with the community prompt.The monthy ''or'' seasonal stocks will frequently contain some manner of special prize(s). Occasionally, these may be very special indeed!

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Worry not! Operate on your own time zone. If there's a concern about one or more entries, the market runner responsible for checking your submitted log will ask about it first, so you have a chance to clear things up.

 

'''Do I need to log my own points?'''

 

You do not; points are tracked behind the scenes and you will be updated with your current total whenever it changes (you are awarded points or you spend them).

'''How many points are possible to earn per difficulty?'''

That's Easy (3x3) prompts may award a secret max of 5 points, medium (4x4) a max of 11, and hard (5x5) a max of 20, given full matches and a bonus for now at leastcompleting all days successfully. Plan accordingly, and good luck! Rest assured that for large prizes there will always be some indicator of how much work you need to do.{{Mothcat Market Guide Navbox}}
