=== Community Garden Guidelines ===
# Participants may take on the community prompt and one personal prompt per month cycle (beginning on the fifteenth 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://stamothcats.shcom/0pxmlctn3mp Prize Shop].# (Optional) Update your bank according to the [[Managing User Banks#shops/1 Community Garden|procedure here]Store].
== Prompts and You ==
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.
== Maple's Shop the Community Garden Store ==The prize shop 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 15th 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.
