Even as I write this, the team members of Intelligence Modifiers are opening up their team update e-mail I sent and discovering that the game is afoot!

That's right -- it's just about time for Mascot Mayhem to begin! I have only very briefly (and vaguely) explained what this is, so allow me to elaborate a little more now that I have some solid ideas in place.
First and foremost, Mascot Mayhem is about encouraging the members of my team to do more and take actions that improve subtle habits that help in fundraising endeavors (such as utilizing social media, engaging donors, and being quick to respond). It's also meant to be silly, competitive fun for a bunch of gamers who -- at the end of the day -- just want to play games.
Below is the first draft of the ways the team members can earn points. These may change as I get feedback from them, but are likely to be the foundation for more as the year goes on. I welcome any and all feedback on these -- and suggestions are welcome, too. I did my best to make sure that all options are feasible for all members since not everyone can stream their gameplay.

Not bad, eh? Sometime next week I will be setting up the scoreboard for the team's Extra Life page so we can keep a running tally of points. I also need to find a way to let people cheer for a mascot -- and possibly get a prize at the end of the year if their chosen mascot is the winner. I welcome comments, questions, suggestions, and concerns in the comments. There haven't been any as of yet -- who gets to be the ultimate FIRST?!
"The game is afoot …" - is that from "The Imitation Game"?
ReplyDelete*feigns a mortal blow* That's from Sherlock. But at least you recognized the actor!
DeleteWell, you said you had forgotten the source, so I was trying to help out! I'm much more of a movie than tv person.
DeleteI was referring to not knowing who had made the gif, not the original source. :)
