So while this isn't like an actual contest, with prizes and the like, this is an idea that seemed to gather the most attention. So while we work on getting other things up and running, I figure I can start this off!
For those of you who remember the Staff Q and A, this is going to run similarly to that. For the next two weeks, I'll be taking PMs and compiling a list to various characters. Note: These are for the actual CHARACTER. As in, the responses would be "In Character". So don't send a question that says "Why did you join NFRP?" Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense. (Though I'd probably still send it to them to see what crazy answer they come up with.)
There are a couple of changes to this one, however, that the other one didn't have. So I'm going to list it below!
1) There's no guarantee that a question is going to be answered. After all, I can't really penalize someone for not doing so.
2) People may post in this thread to say "Ask me questions!" But... don't post more than once on the same account. You can also post links to your characters in one post if you'd like.
3) You may say "All!" under "Character being questioned", to which anyone and everyone can answer that question!
4) You may send as many PMs as you'd like, and you may choose to remain anonymous. The only exception is that when you ask a question about Tie's characters, Well... He'll know (Since He = Me). But when the question/answer is posted up, it'll remain anonymous to everyone else.
5) You won't receive a PM back about it UNLESS there's a problem with it. Such as, asking questions like "Why did you join NFRP?" As I said, these are In Character questions. So ask them something based around your character.
6) In an odd twist, I WILL allow for questions to be asked to characters that are no longer alive. Granted, not sure what would be asked, but there could be a character out there that had died and left a few unanswered questions.
7) NPC's can be included in this as well, so long as you know who it is that is controlling the NPC normally. But this one might be a bit more difficult. You may also ask ME questions! While I don't exist as a character on NFRP (Yet), I will be coming soon! So feel free to ask me any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them! I will also be answering all of the "Everyone" Questions.
8) Lastly, and while I'm sure it goes without saying... Even though these answers are given to the public here and now, that does NOT mean you can use them IC for any reason whatsoever. This is purely for our enjoyment OOC.
So! Now that that's all settled, the following template is to be used. It helps me keep track of things so I know who is being asked what. It's definitely more tricky than the staff one as there are only a certain number of staff members, while there's PLENTY more characters here. So please follow the template exactly, otherwise your questions might not be included.
Now then, here's where things might get confusing. So please pay attention here...
If you have any questions regarding this event, Please PM Gift Giver, with [Q] at the beginning of the PM, to show that it's a question for me.

Do NOT PM "Pinkie Tie" for anything regarding this. Otherwise, your questions/submissions will be ignored. Questions asked in the Cbox or via Skype will still be answered, but submissions via both will be ignored. Only submissions sent to "Gift Giver" will be valid.
If you want others to ask you questions, then feel free to post in this thread. But don't spam the thread with the same character.
Do NOT Submit any questions for characters in this thread. And Do NOT ask any questions about the event in this thread.
I will make a new post if there's a rule that I feel needs to be elaborated on, and it will also be edited into the first post.
You may send PMs for the next two weeks. I won't post up any questions until then (And even then, it might be a little bit as I try to compile everything together). Once I say that all PMs have been received, the only PMs I should be getting about it would be responses to me asking a question OR People who were waiting on a response to their own questions finally submitting what they wanted to submit.
So there we have it! I think I covered everything I need to cover. And if you want to offer ideas for future contests, feel free to do so here.
I can't wait to see what questions people come up with! Feel free to send them in right away! Questions will stop being accepted on Thursday, October 3rd (Might accept a few more after the post for those who might have been sleeping, but that'll be on a case by case basis)

So please follow the template exactly, otherwise your questions might not be included.
[b]Character being Questioned:[/b] List the character's name being questioned. You can ask multiple characters the same question, but please fill out a new template for each. If you are asking a generic question to everyone, then just put "All"
[b]Link to account:[/b] This is very important. I need a link to the account to verify the characters name and other such information. So please include a link, even if it's a common character such as Usiel Kazume. (NOTE: Put N/A if you put All for the first part)
[b]Username:[/b] Yes, yes, I know that it includes the username in the end of the link, but for the sake of my sanity, please put their username here.
[b]Anonymous?:[/b] Do you want them to know who you are? Then write no. If you want to be hidden, write yes.
[b]Question for Character:[/b] Enter your question here. Please fill out a new template per character. If you have multiple questions for the same character, they may all go in the same template.
