As is traditionally known, a gold star is an award given for achievement, hard work and good behavior.
In my room I will give gold stars to people who help to make the room a better place, as a reward for outstanding support, and as prizes in games and contests! Just having gold stars is something to be proud of, but in this room, they have real value and can be exchanged for real items. Below is a catalog of items that can be received in exchange for gold stars†. This list will change and grow over time, so check it out often! To make an exchange for a catalog item, send me a request by MFC email (using the subject line “gold star exchange” will be helpful).
I am free to award gold stars to anybody as I see fit, and I will do it often for witty remarks, good wordplay and including BEAR in your username! I may be especially generous with gold stars when I’m in a good mood 😏 so it’s best to keep me in a good mood. And as is my prerogative, I reserve the right to remove gold stars from anybody as a penalty for being disruptive or generally being a jerk.
Here are some specific ways that gold stars may be awarded:
• High tipper of the day (HT)‡
• Biggest tipper of the day (TT)‡
• Winner of a Blackjack game
• Winner of a CharlesBot game (keno, phrase, or mini-raffle)††
• Winner of a monthly raffle, if included in the prize
• Tip for a Sin on Sinnersday
✨ A gold star cluster represents 88 gold stars! Having one or more of these is the highest achievement.
