The Bombers is a brand new official Zelda Universe group primarily devoted to Zelda Theorizing. Here you will find how to join, the basics to participating in the Bombers, and the rules once you are in.
How to Join
In order to join the bombers you must send me [Leminnes]:
- Write a two page essay on a Zelda theory of your own.
- You can write on anything you want big or small. It’s your choice. Big swooping theories are not required.
- Your essay text must be longer than two single-spaced pages in size 12 Times New Roman font.
- Previously written theories cannot be over 2 months old. Older theories are allowed as long as they have been retouched and updated.
- Please make the article on one theory, not more than one lumped into one article. You can mention other theories, but the main focus must be the main theory.
- Since the Bombers will engage in most of their discussions on the forums, you must agree to register and post there once you find out that you are accepted into the group.
I will read each submission and tell you if you have been accepted or not. Give at least a week for reply.
The Basics to Participating in The Bombers
When members posts they will have different tags they can put at the beginning of the thread title:
*[Article] - Intended as seperate pieces on zelda theories.
*[Discussion] - Intended for people to argue/discuss zelda theories. They can put who they'd like to argue/discuss with. They have the decission to where they'd like to end it.
When a discussion is finished we just edit the title to say "Finished Discussion" and add a poll. Articles have polls on them from when they are immediately posted.
Each bomber can vote on articles and discussions, yes or no, to decide the best articles and discussions. Every two weeks, wednesdays for articles and sundays for discussions, the highest rated discussions/articles will be picked to be posted on the front page.
The Rules
- Keep everything civil. This is a forum discussion forum and angry arguing and acting childish will not be tolerated.
- Please do not quote the previous post when replying to a previous post. Say something like: "To Leminnes' Post:" then your reply to it. This will make it easier to post the discussion on the main forum and keep things less cluttered.
- Group activity inside The Bombers is not allowed and will not be tolerated. If any outside groups are trying to meddle inside The Bombers the included members will be ejected from the group. This is a place to express your opinion, not the opinion of your group. I also do not want groups mentioned inside the discussions or articles.
- Try to post at least one article or discussion every two weeks to keep things moving. I'm not going to be too strict about this one but if I see a member not participating much I will give them a warning and if I see them not continuing to slack off I will eject them from the group.
The Warning System
A Bomber gets a warning each time they just do something plain stupid, such as acting stupid in a discussion, making a horrible article that's impossible to read, ect. They get four warnings and on the forth one, they get kicked out. They are allowed to reapply once and if accepted, they are allowed two warnings and on the second they are kicked out.
Since we can't possibly look at all the articles and disscussion at the same time we will also have a reporting system which will work just the same as the normal reporting a post. The bombers just report the post and give a reason and we go look at it. They can also PM us complaining about a member instead of just one post.
Bombers Notebook
Each Bomber can post a Bombers Notebook where you can document your posted articles and discussions. This is the format in which you should post it:
Quote:
Thread Name: Leminnes' Bombers Notebook
Thread Body:
Articles:
Discussions:
Front Page Articles/Discussions:
|
You can also add anything else you would like such as a blog type thing where you can post ideas or articles you've posted in the normal forum too. Whatever floats your boat.
