Hum hum, some more extensive explanation seems warranted.. ..and simply a good idea overall.

As mentioned previously, this event was designed to be creative, collaborative, comfortable and low barrier to entry. To allow for that, your effort only influences your own reward & not that of your group members, and similarly, your group members’ effort does not influence your reward, only their own. To achieve this, we designed pages where each individual post would be counted as an entry, and attempted to give you as much freedom as possible in the way your group would choose to complete the activities.

We then decided that, if you passionately enjoyed word searches but preferred not to write, we wouldn’t restrict you from doing a hundred word searches & having each entry count. The consequence of that, i.e. the structure of consecutive posts (particularly in groups of two, but in general as well) and how these would be counted, was overlooked in the design. We were going to have you submit a tally of your entries in addition to permalinks to each individual entry post, and only check the submitted permalinks for bogus entries.

However, given that we trust your honesty in regard the amount of entries you’ve actually made, our oversight of players putting multiple entries in one post, and the design of this event to allow for you to put in exactly the amount of effort you feel comfortable with, we’re changing this up a bit.

You will still be submitting a tally and permalinks to each of your entry posts, but if a posts contains multiple entries, you may count it for as many entries as it contains. We will only be doing several random spot checks to check if figures add up (and I promise, should your count be off by one or two, that’s not a problem!).

This means that you don’t have to go back through your threads to edit individual entries to be posted in individual posts, and that everything can remain as is. We will, however, provide a guide for each page as to how you should be counting your entries :)

• Page 1 - Silly Sound Stores
  • Each creative piece submitted counts as one entry. The sound used does not have to be custom selected, i.e. if you used one of the example sounds, your entry still counts and increases your point tally by one.
• Page 2 - Word Search
  • Each created word search counts as one entry. In the case of selecting a premade word search, this entry should not be counted.
  • Each completed word search counts as one entry. The completion of a premade word search counts as one entry.
• Page 3 - What is the Thing?
  • Each created shape counts as one entry. In the case of selecting a premade shape where the post does not contribute any personal creative input, this entry should not be counted.
  • Each encyclopedia page counts as one entry.
• Page 4 - Color-by-Number Mushroom
  • Each section of mushroom colored counts as one entry.
  • Each encyclopedia page describing a mushroom counts as one entry.
• Page 5 - Round Robin Storytelling
  • Each creative piece submitted counts as one entry. In the case of selecting a premade prompt where the post does not contribute any personal creative input, this entry should not be counted.
• Page 6 - 4W Potpourri
  • Each creative piece submitted counts as one entry.
  • Posts only submitting the 4Ws of your choice to the group pool should not be counted.
• Page 7 - Spooopy Shadow Stories
  • Each creative piece submitted counts as one entry. The shadow shape used does not have to be custom made, i.e. if you used a provided shadow shape, your entry still counts and increases your point tally by one.
• Page 8 - Construct a Carol
  • Each submitted section of lyrics counts as one entry.
  • Each creative piece inspired by the combined carol counts as one entry.
• Page 9 - I Spy
  • The round leader gets one point for leading a complete round.
  • Each creative piece submitted as a guess for a round counts as one entry.
• Page 10 - Cast a Character
  • Each posted prompt counts as one entry.
  • Each creative piece responding to a prompt counts as one entry.
• Page 11 - Character Crossword
  • Each crossword created counts as one entry.
  • Each crossword completed counts as one entry.
• Page 12 - Equip the Cave
  • Each posted prompt (a doodle plus brief description) counts as one entry. The doodle used does not have to be custom drawn, i.e. if you used one of the example doodles, your entry still counts and increases your point tally by one.
  • Each creative piece responding to a prompt counts as one entry.
• Page 13 - Who Wore it Better?
  • The round leader gets one point for leading a complete round.
  • Each creative piece submitted to the round counts as one entry.
• Page 14 - A Time and Place for Learning
  • Each complete critique of another players’ post counts as one entry.

Plus: Don’t forget to submit an entry to the Creativity Awards!

FF for my laptop browser, Google Chrome for mobile.
I tried it on IE on laptop browser too.

The only thing can think of that could be interfering with it is a notification I have on top of my page?
But I was keeping it there as a reminder xP

Mm. Win7, with the following versions..
Chrome 48.0
Firefox 43.0
IE 11.0

All work for me. I don’t have wifi here so I can’t check on my tablet, though, mmrr. I know we tested it on a variety of combinations, but I guess you lucked out & have multiple combinations that aren’t working :D;? It was mostly meant as an optional memory support, but if we do the event again in the future & choose to have the checkboxes again, we’ll have to see if we can check mobile as well >>

Apparently if I click a bunch of them in IE and then refresh, and then go to my FF and refresh, it sticks.
(Except the “Who Wore it Better” or “A Time and Place for Learning” boxes. Strange. It just doesn’t want to stay ticked!) I have no idea what that really means, but that’s for checking anyway c:

Please do not submit any more Activity entries. Thank you so much for two weeks of browsing through your wonderful creativity. We laughed, we cried, in short — we had tons of fun witnessing your brilliant minds spout butterflies!

Of course, it wasn’t all for naught, and the time has come to discuss rewards. -rolls up sleeves-

Please use this form to self-score your Activity entries and submit your prize preferences. This is also the place for feedback/comments/critique, if you have any to share with us!

The self-scoring form will close on Sunday, February 28th at 23:59 ST, after which random spot checks will be done and prizes be distributed.

The Creativity Awards have now also closed. The judges will discuss, and winners will also be announced in one week.

If you input your permalink into the answer section and hit return, you get more room to input more entries. The space is bigger than it looks. :3

:Each creative piece submitted counts as one entry. In the case of selecting a premade prompt where the post does not contribute any personal creative input, this entry should not be counted.”

^ for the round robin storytelling. Does ‘each creative piece’ mean each individual post or does it only count once per story?

I hope my score sheet went through okay. The first time I tried to submit I received an error message even though it was completely filled out, so I hit submit again and it said it had gone through that time. Why am I so technologically challenged :‘c
