Random Acts of Kindness (AOK)
The random "Act of Kindness" (AOK) is a 'Thank You" system driven by the community, for other gamers of the STS gaming franchise including PL,SL and DL and the forums. Players will be nominated by "you" and given awards (Intangible awards shown below) in order to recognize their random acts of kindness throughout the game. As there are many individuals in-game who do not get credit for their good deeds, this will serve as a way to commend their names through the forums. If you have ever seen someone who deserves credit, or wanted to thank someone but didn't know how, this is your chance. Nominate their names!
"A random act of kindness is a selfless act performed by a person or people wishing to either assist or cheer up an individual person or people."
AOK's main purpose is to serve as a way to bring together a community of individuals who are constantly helping one another. May it be through small ways or guidance/mentoring etc, without asking for anything in return. These individuals usually do not get recognition for their actions. This will be for everyone in the community, from lvl 10's- end game levels, and from every STS game including the forums: Star Legends, Pocket Legends and Dark Legends. This will not be a "premium" group/ so anyone can be nominated.
Please read through the guidelines below thoroughly on how to nominate someone.
Currently the only recognition offered is having their names listed on the Random "AOK" thread here (individuals with multiple nominations will have an icon next to their listed names :star:). I have also created a Signature icon and a AOK icon as a reward (It can be added on next to/onto your signature or can replace it). There are also recognition rewards for multiple nominations. I'll be planning on making more icons for the different games, RedRyder has also offered to help make awards.
I understand that many in-game players may not be as active/do not know about the forums.
Non-Forumers are still eligible to be nominated for AOK, if you wish to, you may tell the nominee
in-game that they have been listed in our AOK thread. Starting slowly is good for this thread,
spread the word and let this system grow :)
