) time to campaign for our favorite choices!What is this?
Petopia needs a new mascot. For the purposes of fun and perhaps drawing in some new site members, we have the chance to do multiple mock political campaigns for our favorite mascot choices.
What do we do?
We post artwork showing our favorite mascot, in the form of banners, signatures, avatars and so forth. We add comments to our thread posts indicating our support for our choices, and make and distribute videos (Youtube etc) imitating political candidate advertisements. Try making a video promoting your favorite candidate, in the style of a political campaign. Make up reasons why yours would be the best. Do a mock slander video against one of the opponents--"...But did you know the Strider Clutchmother's dark secret?" Link back to Petopia whenever possible! I'll list each candidate in the 2nd post, with links of all their promotional material, once it starts coming together!
What will this accomplish?
We'll have fun, first and foremost. It is quite possible that Mania has already picked a mascot, and so this is just to enjoy ourselves and add a little extra flavor to the forums for awhile. It is also to potentially draw new people to Petopia. Use your signatures on other forums (examples below) showing your support for a certain pet, and with Petopia's web address noted in the sig. People may see the sig and become curious, and visit the site to check it out. New members are good!
What should I post here?
Post any campaign artwork, and requests for art for a specific pet choice. I (and other members, I'm sure!) will be happy to draw up avatars and sigs for various pets. I'll list them in the first & second post with credit to each artist, and then people can use them while out & about! Post links to any promotional material you create--be it art, videos or other threads. DON'T post your choices for mascot, unless it's to request art--if you just want to discuss potential mascots, and actually possibly affect the choice of one, post that here. This thread is *only* for the mock campaign-related stuff!
So! Here's some starter sigs & avatars from me and others; I've added a video campaigning for my own favorite, Gezzarak. Remember, folks, this is all in fun, and probably won't affect the choice in the end. So keep it light and keep it fun
