canvey!! Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Starting a Challenge Make it original. Original ideas are going to get more people taking part. Use the Ideas Thread to gauge how popular your challenge will be. Do not be disheartened if your challenge wasn’t as popular as you expected it to be. The opening post is the most important one: include in it every rule of the challenge, and how often you expect people to update their progress Tell people what you expect in terms of screenshots, be it the league table or the initial profile. Provide them with examples in your opening post. Take part yourself: it doesn’t create a very good impression if you create a challenge and then don’t take part. Be willing to draw the line on any question about the rules. If someone asks you whether something is acceptable under the rules, be prepared to answer them. Telling people how to post a screenshot is also a useful addition for an opening post. Play a test game for a few seasons to anticipate any problems that might arise with the challenge Taking Part in a Challenge Provide all necessary information, such as the screenshots the challenge starter asked for Encourage other users, it does wonders to their confidence Do not cheat or do something that is specified as being against the rules of the challenge. It discredits the challenge and its starter If you have any questions about what is and what isn’t acceptable in the challenge, ask. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_clark Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Can someone suggest what site I should use for uploading an edited DB? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canvey!! Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 The one I use is RapidShare although FileFront is an alternative. With RapidShare if you intend to keep the download up there for a long period of time you'd probably need to go Premium, so if that's the plan (which it probably would be if you're starting a challenge), go for FileFront.
