Popular Post The Director Posted July 14, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Alright, so we are bringing back the Good Samaritan Award. How do you get it? You donate 20000 grains of rice to the UN's World Food Programme. How do you do that? By using this: http://freerice.com/content-group/343iorg-community-forum You join this group and play under the group. You play with the group so that I can keep track of your total. When you get to 20k, you get the award. That's 2000 questions. Sounds like a lot, but it's really not. What is Freerice.com? This site uses ad revenue that it gains from you playing a rather simple game to donate rice to those who need it. For every question you answer correctly, they donate 10 grains of rice. This adds up rather quickly, and is a nice way to do some good and pass the time, especially if you are bored.You don't have to click the ads, you just have to play the game. For every question you get right, 10 grains of rice are donated. No surveys, no personal information gathering, no scams or tricks. Just answering elementary school questions and feeding people.10 grains of rice doesn't sound like much, which is why I'm raising public awareness of it. If you and 10 friends answer one question, that's 100 grains. If 100 people answer 1 question, that's 1,000 grains. If 1 million people answer 10 questions, that's 100 million grains of rice. As you can see, it adds up fairly quickly.All you have to do to donate is go to answer the questions for a while. This site isn't blocked in most schools, and may not be blocked at your work. You don't even have to create a profile to donate. The profiles are so that you can keep track of what you've donated so far, which is how you get the Good Samaritan Award. In case you can't read it the picture of the website1. This is where you keep track of what you've donated.2. This is where you answer questions.3. This is a little graphic representation of what you've donated so far. Above this is the group selection. Pick the group to play under or else your rice won't count.4. This banner ad only appears when you've answered a question correctly. It's what pays for the rice. See? *the text below this states [sponsored banners displayed on correct answers pay for the rice donated]*5. These are blogs, player activity trackers, and news stories that are related to hunger. There will be a topic in General Discussion that keeps track of everyone's totals. It will be updated every week, and will be locked. So, get out there and feed some people, and have fun doing it. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Director Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Oh, I forgot to mention YOU CAN GET THE AWARD MULTIPLE TIMES! That's right, if you hit 40k, you get 2 awards. 60k means 3 awards! This way, those who have participated in the past don't get left out, and even if you hit 20k you can still do it again. Those who participated previously (while the award was only given once) do not receive awards for past participation. This is starting now. As in right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinWarrior Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 This is really awesome of you guys to implement, it brings back a fan favorite award, and helps people who need help in the process! Maybe in the future we can do this style of contest with other forms of global assistance, for example, something related to Environmental Conservation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Make sure Zag spams me on Steam to remind me. It'd be neat if Valve did something like this. Play Half-Life 2 on different difficulties and on a total Steam would donate so much. Dota 2's new DLC raised millions, would just be neat. Seriously make sure Zag spams on Steam to do this or I will forget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
