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 :)



To nominate someone, send a PM to the AOK Team Account *click me* (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/member.php?69431-Acts-Of-Kindness)

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.

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.

[Acts Of Kindness]

oh no...someone posted before the honorary listings noooooo

this is zaltiar btw. lol, I've decided to quit the forums altogether along with the games,
and since the original thread is on my account, I decided to make an AOK group account (with the confirmation from Samhayne)
so this program can continue...hopefully (:
The AOK thread on my account will be deleted soon

[Zaltiar]

yes this is the official AOK team account, this statement here will be solid proof enough hopefully :)

[Appleisaac]

(((((((((BUMP)))))))))

[dudetus]

Bump.

This thread should be sticky, because this program deserves all the possible credit.

[RedRyder]

Bump.

This thread should be sticky, because this program deserves all the possible credit.

I'll log into the account soon to check for any pm's

[NECROREAPER]

Oh so everyone who is a team member can access the AOK account?

[Zaltiar]

Yep :) that was the point of a group account,
I've gotten permission from samhayne beforehand so it should be alright

[NECROREAPER]

I think there are a few more deserving members.

Also, this thread shall not go quietly into the night

[Acts Of Kindness]

as do I :) , but in order for this to work, I need the help of the community to spread word and nominate people!
I guess the concept just doesn't fit with this game, players want tangible rewards and I cannot award that, also, the forums only makes up a fraction of the whole sts gaming population. It's partly my fault as well, I haven't been active since ~6-7 months ago haha (Zalt).
I dont know, we'll see :)

[Ark]

If you need help spreading the word about AOK, then I'll gladly be there to help out :)

[Cruis]

So we're bumping now

[Cruis]

Mmkay...



(jk I'm not gonna bump)
