Do you like free things? Do you like rice? Then you probably like FREE RICE, right?!
Of course you do, so that’s why Ginz ❤ and Jayeee decided to create a wonderful event where you can all indulge in your love of freebies and rice, and then shower us with glory and congratulatory messages for inventing the best event in Netwuffian history.
...Oh, and I guess the thought of being charitable is pretty important too!
But wait, what do you mean you’ve never heard of free rice before? Well, fear not, because Ginz ❤ and Jayeee are here to enlighten you!
Freerice is a non-profit website that is owned by and supports the United Nations World Food Programme.
Freerice has two goals:
- Provide education to everyone for free.
- Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.
Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide.
So now that you know, you should probably check it out! But wait, where are you going? You should finish reading this thread first!
Some of you might be pretty familiar with Free Rice already, but for those who aren’t, Professors Ginz ❤ and Jayeee are here to give you a basic rundown of what to do and how to do it! (They have PHDs in AWESOME!)
Step One - This event will require you to sign up to the Free Rice website. It’s free rice and easy, and it’ll allow you (and us) to track your totals and join groups!
Step Two - It’s about time we explained just what you do on this website, right? It’s simple, you just answer questions from a selection of different subjects and each correct answer donates 10 grains of rice! It’s like a trivia game… FOR CHARITY!
And that’s all there is to it! I bet you wish these guys were your professors in school! We do too.
Now that we’ve explained all of the basics, we can
Those of you who previously played Colo
Once you have the PERFECT group, make sure you come up with a MAGNIFICENT team name, and then inform Ginz ❤ and Jayeee of it, either here on the thread or through a PM! We can then get started on creating a group for you on the Free Rice website, which we’ll use to track your progress and make sure that everything is running smoothly!
The event will last for two weeks (15 days), and the objective is to be the team who donates the most rice! But we put a couple of spins on it to keep it fun and exciting!
First of all, you know how we mentioned you could choose different subjects to play? There are 8 main categories: Humanities, English, Math, Chemistry, Language learning, Geography, Sciences, and Test Preparation. As a team, you will get to pick five out of those, and also decide the order you’d like to play them in. This event will be working with a round-by-round format, meaning that for each round, your team will only be allowed to play the one category you pre-picked to gain points. Each round will last three days, and because this event will be taking place during school time for a lot of people, we thought it’d be better to give each team the final decision of when they choose to play a subject, so that you can pick a time when you have the most time for the subject that you’re the best at!
To help with this choice, here’s the dates that each round will be taking place on:
Round One - Monday 22nd September - Wednesday 24th September
Round Two - Thursday 25th September - Saturday - 27th September
Round Three - Sunday 28th September - Tuesday 30th September
Round Four - Wednesday 1st October - Friday 3rd October
Round Five - Saturday 4th October - Monday 6th October
(The Rounds will be based on the NST/PST timezone and change at midnight).
On top of that, we’ve come up with some additional fun challenges for you to complete. The challenges are themed for each subject, and they are optional, but they can give you some nice extra points if you complete them each round! We’re not telling you what the challenges are yet, though. They are a surprise, and will be revealed to each team accordingly at the start of each round.
But Ginz ❤ and Jayeee, how do we win? Well, winning isn’t everything, you know! :I But since you asked nicely, we’ll tell you. We’ll add up all the points from all the rounds, and that will give us our overall winner. But don’t worry if that isn’t your team, because we’ll also be announcing winners by subject! So if your team was the most charitable while answering Math questions, you’ll be a winner too! (And really, when doing charity while participating in the best event in forum history, isn’t everyone a winner?)
That’s all you need to know for now! We know you’re super excited and can’t wait, so you may go ahead and start making teams! Sign-ups are officially open now, and they’ll close next Saturday (20th).
Once you’ve formed your team, we’ll PM you with some extra info, like a tutorial on how to use the group feature on the Free Rice site. Don’t worry, though! It’s pretty simple, and we’ll try to make it brief.
