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.

1. Only Mothcats members are allowed to participate. (All members automatically agree to our Species Terms and Conditions.)
2. All participants must have a Mothcat Bank.
3. Members do not need to own a Mothcat to participate.
4. Both admins and members can participate.
5. Participants may take on the community prompt and one personal prompt per month cycle (beginning on the fifth of each month.)
   1. Participants may complete challenges which extend past the 15th of the following month. However, they may not take on a new challenge of that type until they complete their existing one.
6. Participants may begin on either the day they register or the following day. The challenge is considered begun once the first entry is posted.
7. Entries for each (community and personal) prompt must be unique between them-- that is, you can't use the same entry for both.
   1. Entries may, however, be used for other activities, such as quests.
8. There is no explicit minimum for daily entries. However, if we feel that entrie(s) do not reflect a reasonable amount of effort, we reserve the right not to accept them.
9. Members may, per prompt, have 1 day where they provide two entries to account for a past or anticipated "missed day."
   1. Please clearly indicate if and when you do so!

3. Register your challenge at the appropriate hub.
4. Carry out the relevant activity daily for 9, 16, or 25 days depending on your selected difficulty.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm on a different time zone! What does this mean for my challenge?

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 a secret for now at least! Rest assured that for large prizes there will always be some indicator of how much work you need to do.
