Hood Home Tour Guidelines

A Hood Home is defined as "residential property" purchased in one of AW's many Neighborhoods. The Neighborhoods project was originally conceived by Jot to enhance interaction between members, utilizing the historical and cultural setting of a chosen ancient world and a region or city within that world. At the same time it is possible to present and highlight ancient locations, people and ways of life; that which is the basis for this site.

This year the Tour will be presented from the main Golfest board for easy navigation. Everyone is welcome to participate in the tour. You do not have to be a patron to submit a property. Here is a guide for members, scribes and demis who would like to take part in the Golden Explorations Hood Home Tour for Goldfest 2011.

1. On your world's GF planning thread, post the link to any property you are entering in the tour. There is still plenty of time to create a new hood home or finish a neglected one. Scribal teams will keep track of property URLs and provide a list to the Tour organizers - Xena & Caileadair - by October 25th. Feel free to leave a scroll for Xena or Caileadair with any questions about the Tour.
2. Everyone who submits a property is encouraged to be active and respond to posts made within their property. It is not necessary for participants to be online during all of Goldfest, but it is recommended they log in as much as possible.

3. Property owners should have some content reflecting the history, culture or ambiance of the region, district or realm in which the property is located, and at least one activity for visitors, i.e.: a guest book to sign, a game, a puzzle, music, gifts for visitors, a quiz, a general discussion, etc. with an Exploration or Emigration theme.

4. ~~There may be a Hood Home contest. More on that later.~~

5. If there is a Hood Home contest, property owners will have a choice of two different plaques to display ~ one reading 'Entrant' and one reading 'Non-entrant' as a visual aid for the Hood Home contest judges. You do not have to enter the contest to be part of the Tour. You do have to be part of the Tour to enter the contest.

6. Members who want to submit a property in a world different to their own should submit that property to the appropriate world scribe or GF planning thread; i.e., if you have an Egyptian persona and own property in Meso, you should submit your Meso property URL to Meso's GF planning thread.

7. There is no limit to the number of properties to be included in each world. Again, the deadline to submit your hood home is October 25th.

8. Nuit Imhotep created plaques for use on properties participating in the Hood Home Tour.
