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.



http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n565/Pras_Rai/guidelines-1.png

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 :)



To nominate someone, send a PM to the AOK Team (JaytB (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/member.php?39681-JaytB) RedRyder (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/member.php?7977-RedRyder) Robert7204 (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/member.php?39800-Robert7204) Apollo (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/member.php?11415-Apollo))
Nominations for any 'act of kindness' not listed can still be sent, the AOK team will check their eligibility
Nomination PM's should go as shown: (Title as "AOK Nomination)

-IGN (In game name) of person being nominated
-PL/SL/DL/Forums
-Reason
-Proof (screenshots <- optional)
You may inform the nominee (after he/she has done a good deed), that you will nominate them here.
If you are a spectator to an AOK by another person, you may nominate them as well.
This is not a T.V. show, please, no dramas
Please do not ask to be nominated or nominate yourself
Individuals can be nominated more than once
Lets keep the chat at a minimum on this thread and keep it for congratulations :)
Do not inform ones you have helped about AOK (that defeats the purpose)
When nominating, use their Forum Account name, if they don't/you don't know, use their main.




What qualifies as an AOK:


Random gifting items that are useful to the reciever (or who are in need of the item) and has not asked for the item.
Guiding others through different maps/or guiding them as they level up
Helping someone with real life issues
Guiding others through with quests
Giving credits/gold to people in need (not to beggars in townes)
Giving vital/important information to strangers/newbies to the game
Guiding someone in PvP without them asking for help
Assisting someone in PvP who have less people in their team (or are losing)
Guilds that go out of their way to help others (Only AOK founders/team may nominate guilds)



What does not qualify as an AOK:


Nominating yourself/alts
Anything that is not a "RANDOM" act will not qualify
Guiding/helping others because they asked you to
Returning gifts/items previously given to you by the reciever
Informing ones you have helped about AOK recognition rewards

I'd like to thank everyone in the AOK list for their acts of kindness, may it be helping out a friend when he/she is having a hard time, or helping out the new players by gifting them items they need or may need. (Just think how they might have felt when they randomly see "xxxx gave you xxxx") It not only shows what an awesome person you are, but the community in general. I remember when I received a lvl 14 pink forest leather from Haikus when I was still new to the game (it helped me pimp out my town outfit, I still have it in my stash!), that was probably what made me come back to the game every time, the fact that people were so willing to help me out, in any form of way :D.
Your actions impact the ones you have helped, and in return they may one day pay back that favour by helping out another person.
I have always felt that a community was what made a game so great (yeah graphics and all that fancy stuff are eye catching
but at the end of the day, I'd want a group of mates to go around doing runs/farming/leveling).

So yes, thank you. you my friends, are all awesomesauce.

I would be happy to be a team member. I'm quite active and I usually have something helpful to say. (You may have issues with the "rep" part, so if this is the case please pm me and save me the embarrassment.). Let me know (:

[JaytB]

Very nice Zal!

I'm excited to see how this will work out :)

[Artentreri]

This is cool and all, but most people that I talk to don't visit the forums. I'd like to join this thing, but it's hard for people to get credit for stuff without people saying anything on here.

Heh yep its similar to that movement if you call it that :vD:

[Ihavenokills]

Theres a weapon named A-OK in SL O_o coincidence???? hehe all this looks promising. hopefully people nominated won't get attacked by beggars just because they are an AOK nominee :redface:

[Commanderkeen]

Wow thanks im honored.

[Zaltiar]

We won't be posting up the reasons why they have been nominated up here. I doubt they would be attacked by beggars since doing an AOK
doesn't necessarily mean handing out gold or items. Plus, there is still the mute button :)


Wow thanks im honored.

Grats to you Commanderkeen! :vD:

[JaytB]

Grats nmy and keen!!

[Commanderkeen]

New layout on the OP looking good. I like this one a lot better Zaltiar

[RedRyder]

Almost done with this piece I've been working on, then I'll get to the avatars :) I'll be doing the elite set bear pixelated for the PL version. I'll do a DL one when I figure out what to use. Ideas are welcome :)

This deserves sticky IMO :)

[Appleisaac]

:D yay! thanks guys!

[Commanderkeen]

Congrats to all new AOK's

[Sryyoulose]

Goood idea! It's just not known enough and like when you help people it's usually helping noobs so they wouldn't reapply put you on here however good idea nonetheless!

[Zaltiar]

All great things start from small beginnings. ;)

I'll be trying to get this out more, tell but interesting mean time with university and work, and I'll be taking slow.

[Swords]

So if our name is listed on the honorable mention then? We get something out of it or just a name on the list?

[Sryyoulose]

One thing... Somebody should head up a PL one... Necro? Ninja? Nick? Apple? Just saying... We need a strong face in PL aswell as SL =D

[NECROREAPER]

So if our name is listed on the honorable mention then? We get something out of it or just a name on the list?



Totally in it for the wrong thing dude




@Sryyoulose:

Zaltair has this set up to represent players from both games, not just Star Legends.

[Zaltiar]

Grats to the new nominees! Although they may not be active on the forums if any of you guys have seen them around in-game, let them know :)

Also
@Swords, there are no rewards that hold status. This program is to show our appreciation and recognize others who are helpful as they make it a better gaming experience for others. That said, there is a star icon given to those who have been nominated and approved by the team more than once.
@Sryyoulose, this is for all sts games + the forums. (:




I'd like to thank everyone in the AOK list for their acts of kindness, may it be helping out a friend when he/she is having a hard time, or helping out the new players by gifting them items they need or may need. (Just think how they might have felt when they randomly see "xxxx gave you xxxx") It not only shows what an awesome person you are, but the community in general.

I have always felt that a community was what made a game so great (yeah graphics and all that fancy stuff are eye catching
but at the end of the day, I'd want a group of mates to go around doing runs/farming/leveling). With that being said, it was a sad day when so many of the great players left.

So yes, thank you. you my friends, are all awesomesauce.
And remember, keep nominating!

[TheGreyOne]

Hi peoples I am new to forums.. this is a wonderful thing yu are doing here. Zaltiar I sent you a private message about someone I want to be recognized he fits exactly what this thread is about. I apologize if it is not the right way to nominate someone. Thank you for this it made my day to be able to tell you about something that has really made me feel good about people in general. I did know if it was okay to share what happened so I sent it in a message. I think it should be public but I understand why you would not want it to be so I will let you decide. Maybe share it with the name blocked out or ask him if he would not mind being a public example of what you are trying to accomplish. Cheers and huggies.

Sincerely GINA :*

[Zaltiar]

Its not herself that she wants to be recognized, its her friend thatvhelped her. I think you misread :)

I just got back from my vacation and wanted to say grats to all the new nominees!

I know some of the backgrounds why people are nominated and I can tell you it's well deserved. You all impressed 1 or more players in a very positive way. It's people like you who make this great community into what it is.

Keep up the kindness and stay the helpful personalities you all are!

[ArtStar]

Grats to everyone!!
Especially to my dear friend Ironhoof :-)

This is cool

You accpet all members?

oh my bad, i'm already in

[Zaltiar]

Hey guys, a quick update on the AOK program.

With the confirmation from devs, I have created a forum account AOK for the Team consisting of:
JaytB, RedRyder, Robert7204 and Apollo.
The guys and I will be in charge of handling the AOK thread (adding names and such) As this will be easier to manage incoming messages/nominations/editing guidelines and whatnot. People wanting to nominate will also be able to just PM the group account where any of us can check their eligibility and add their names to the AOK list. The reason I created another account for AOK was mainly because it would be easier to handle through one main account, also I will not be as active as from now on. I would say this is my way of giving back to the community what they have given me. I'll still be a lurker (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?51461-Forum-Personalities-D) though :)
Thus, I will be moving the original posts (Info+Listed members) to a new thread under
the AOK group account. Everything else will be done there.

Thank you all for your continued support!
Look forward to the new thread link here.
-poof-

[NECROREAPER]

Quick question for you Zaltair:

Whats the difference between this group and the support group? I see a lot of people with AoK in their sig but their names aren't on the list.
Im a bit confused

Hey PumpkinKing :P, I've sent you a PM

[Appleisaac]

BUMP I'm bored, and this thread deserves it.

[Zaltiar]

I'd like to thank everyone again for your support for AOK!
Unfortunately, the time has come for me to take my leave from the forums. I have not actually logged in for a while now and didn't think it would actually come to the point where I would be retiring from both the games and forums. However, I have had so much going on irl I could not find the time nor the interest to log in. This thread will continue on another forum account called "Acts Of Kindness" where the AOK Team will run most of the "program". I will, if possible, try to check up on the forums time to time (:,
I really hope this does continue in some form of way,

Cheers guys!
Pras.

[Mitchturbo]

Wow ^ ^ So sorry to hear that Zaltier. :'-(
Best of luck to you and the AOK.

[Acts Of Kindness]

oh hai der!
please look forward to a new AOK thread :)
all new nominations will be posted there.
cheers

[Acts Of Kindness]

Wow ^ ^ So sorry to hear that Zaltier. :'-(
Best of luck to you and the AOK.

Oh, no need to be sorry :)
I've quite enjoyed my time in the games and the forums. But I guess I have just grown out of it.
I will be testing out DL when it comes out though heh
