Congratulations on your new merit badge for your group, [Link To Item #1764977] ! Thank you for supporting the Writing.Com community with your inspirations, participation and activities for our newest members. We appreciate it! -SMs](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-The_Art_of_Criticism-1764977_14.gif) GROUP CONCEPTS Alumni Teams Organizing Your ProfilesAlumni profiles have been reorganized into three teams and can be found in the following collections:
 Lenny's Endowment Raffle Ticket Purchasing and Fundraising "Invalid Item" has taken off and includes many WDC members. I do not plan to ever ask an exorbitant amount of time or funds from alumni of the project, however I believe that most if not all of our enshrinees would not think it amiss to give back to the project in the true community spirit that motivates them to review in the first place. At this time, I would only ask that alumni consider purchasing tickets for currrent project members from "Invalid Item" . I have decided to run this activity similar to how I ran The Art of Criticism Project itself. For every (100) tickets purchased for project members, I will award a community-oriented merit badge. This total is cumulative over the life of the raffle, so if you only purchase (50) this drawing and (50) next drawing, they will add together. Under your profile will be listed your name and the number of tickets you have purchased as well the badges awarded, and I will update it accordingly each round of the raffle.* There are at this time no restrictions as to how many The Art of Criticism Project members you purchase tickets for. If you wish to purchase (100) tickets for one member, you are welcome to do this. Conversely, you can literally purchase one ticket for each member on the list if you want. The combinations and amounts are totally up to you. There are no minimums or even an expectation that you will purchase tickets at all.This is totally a voluntary activity!*Your Total # of Tickets divided by 100 = # of Merit Badges  Mushroom Gardens Accumulating Your Reviews for RewardsProject alumni will be awarded (1) 1000-GP review credit per session that they produce reviews. In addition to this credit, they will also receive a for every review credited, collecting these to cash in for merit badges. An additional (2) reviews can be credited per session, but these will only be given 250 GPs. These additional credits will still qualify as reviews, though. Your mushrooms will accumulate in your profile under a dropnoted tally of the reviews I have credited. Once you have "grown" (18) mushrooms, I will peruse these reviews and award you an appropriate merit badge based on what I read in one or all of the reviews. Once your merit badge is awarded, it is linked under your profile, your mushrooms are removed, and you begin the process again.  The Symposium Community College Gaining Exposure for Your ItemsThe "Invalid Item" has two main objectives. First and foremost, it aims to offer a reward framework for doing what members would do anyway, review other members. Second, this challenge acts as a special privilege for alumni of the project to receive quality reviews of their items. As an alumnus, you are given the privilege of not only participating in the challenge for rewards, but also providing the items with which the entire project will review. To submit items to be included on the college's Alumni Review Board, please use "Invalid Item" . ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** PatrickB  Zodiac Sign: Pisces (Water, Mutable) Showcase Item 
Quote: "What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic." Dr. Carl SaganWhy I Chose This Quote: Dr. Sagan gave me my outlook, my faith, my fear, my reason, my confidence, and my desire to explain and understand. This is one of thousands of excerpts from the books of a great human being that proves that science and art are not that far away from each other in the cosmos of human expression and understanding. Erudite, knowledgeable, and eloquent, Sagan's books are like taking your dream university course, encompassing science, mathematics, history, religion, and philosophy. If you have never been exposed, I highly recommend reading his finest, Cosmos. |
