How to snag those elusive Togs!

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319418656.png>

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Guard Reports: For every three (3) legitimate guard reports you make, you earn one (1) Tog. You must write "Community Service for Togs" at the bottom of your report for it to be valid. (Guards: After three legitimate community service reports are made, please send the names to [Stephen].)

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Art Donations: For every twenty (20) different pieces of art contributed to Elfpack that are accepted and approved, gain one (1) Tog. Send a message to [Stephen] with a link to the artwork and where it was donated.
          Note: Art must sport quality and originality, must be uploaded to Elfpack, and must be free to use (see Elfpack Graphics). Submitting the same piece of art in various colors or with only slight variations will only be counted as one submission. Pieces that appear devoid of effort will not count towards total.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Goofy Elfpackers: For every photo featured by Goofy Elfpackers Elfpacking!, you will gain two (2) Togs. The photo must appear on Mainstuff to be valid. Send a message to [Stephen] when your submission is featured to ensure you get the Togs.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Featured Poem: For every poem submitted by a member and featured on Mainstuff via Elfpack Featured Poem, the member who submitted the poem will gain two (2) Togs. Send a message to [Stephen] when your submission is featured to ensure you get the Togs.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Elfpack Jokes: For every joke submitted by a member and featured on Mainstuff via Elfpack Jokes, the member who submitted the joke will gain one (1) Tog. Send a message to [Stephen] when your submission is featured to ensure you get the Tog.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Quotes from Elfpackers: Every quote submitted by a member and featured on Mainstuff via Quotes from Elfpackers, the member who submitted the quote will gain one-half (0.5) Tog. Send a message to [Stephen] when your submission is featured to ensure you get your Tog.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Official Contests: Some official contests will offer Togs as official prizes or as an incentive for entering. These amounts are monitored by the Toggery Committee, and must be approved of before they are given.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Elfpack Suggestions: For every valid suggestion that is made and used by the Elfpack Council to improve Elfpack, one (1) Tog will be rewarded to the member who placed the suggestion. Message [Stephen] if your suggestion is used. (Note that "suggestions" to fix a typo or the like don't count.)

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Poll Suggestions: For every Mainstuff Poll suggestion that is made and chosen by a Mainstuff Boss, one half (0.5) Tog will be rewarded to the member who suggested the poll. Message [Stephen] to receive your Tog.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Official Pages: For every official page created, the creator will earn one (1) tog. An official page has to be a full length page to earn credit for the Tog, and creating multiple tiny pages instead of one decent sized one to try to get more Togs, will result in no Tog being given. Message [Stephen] the page upon it becoming official for the Tog.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Recommended Pages: For every Elfpack Recommended Page created, the creator will earn one half (0.5) Tog. The same conditions apply to recommended pages, as official pages. Message [Stephen] upon your page getting recommended status for your half-Tog.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Card Creation: Creating and submitting one (1) fully made card that is selected to be used as an official Toggery Card will earn the submitter one (1) Tog. Tog will be credited upon selection of card.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Badge Creation: Submitting three (3) ready to be used (Everything made besides name on badge) badges that are selected for official use will result in the badge creator being given one (1) Tog. Message [Stephen] upon your badge being used.



Elfpack Worker Incentive

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Guards: Handle two (2) legitimate reports correctly, receive one (1) Tog. Reports must be reviewed by the Warden and/or Deputy Wardens before the Tog is awarded.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Council: Oversee two (2) official contests to their completion, receive one (1) Tog. Message [Stephen] when you've overseen contests so we can keep tally.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Graphic Designers: For every ten (10) official page graphics created (dividers, banners, blobs, etc), one (1) Tog will be rewarded. Message [Stephen] when graphics are made to ensure Tally is kept.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Mainstuff Crew: For every two complete, well-written Mainstuff Articles one (1) Tog will be rewarded. Message [Stephen] upon finishing article.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1319420234.png> Note: Togs may be awarded for work performed by staff that does not fit into the above perimeters. Such Togs will be awarded when work completed has been requested in the crew forums, and when permission has been given by [Stephen].

Q) Why do workers get Togs when I do not? That's not fair!
A) Elfpack's volunteers perform all the work to keep Elfpack running and fun, and do it for free. We use Togs as an incentive to keep them working. :) It's a form of reimbursement for the hours they put in here.

2011-11-03 [Stephen]: Added two more. :P

2011-11-03 [Bookwyrm]: Awesome. :D I think we need to revisit the worker thing too, because we have a lot of positions but only three that get paid right now. XD

2011-11-03 [Stephen]: Feature Bosses should be something like "Feature three (3) of <insert feature type> and receive one (1) tog."

Elfpack Awards - "Run one full month of Awards, receive one (1) Tog."

That's my idea, at least. xD

2011-11-03 [Bookwyrm]: Yeah, that sounds good. We should put that up for Ama's approval too. :)

So do I get back-paid for everything I've done recently? XD

2011-11-03 [Stephen]: Does that mean I'd get back-paid for all the stuff I've done since being Warden, too? :D

We'd both end up with like, 500 togs.. >_>

2011-11-03 [Bookwyrm]: Well if we're not, I'm going to stop doing stuff until I get paid! :P

2011-11-03 [Stephen]: How about something that's not zomg unfair extreme? xD

We can have 50 togs credited to each of us (For any Guard Reports, Wiki's, Elfpack Awards, Mainstuff Features, etc to date), and then just keep track of what we do from there? :P

2011-11-03 [Bookwyrm]: Well, I don't think either of us would end up with 500 Togs anyway, but regardless that's fine. XD

2011-11-03 [Stephen]: Trrue, but it would be a lot. I really don't want to go back and try to figure out everything I've done in the last three months. ._.;

2011-11-03 [Bookwyrm]: Oh no, neither do I. XD That'd be a lot of calculating. I hate math. XD

2011-11-04 [Stephen]: Now, on to the next question:

What about ALL the other people who should have Togs as back-work?

2011-11-04 [Bookwyrm]: Yes, I think everyone that's done some work recently (last three months or so) should get some Togs. But I dunno how many, since some of them haven't done much at all. XD

2011-11-04 [Stephen]: I'll make a list and put it in the committee forum, and see what you and Ama think.. :P

2011-11-04 [Bookwyrm]: /applauds

2011-11-05 [Bookwyrm]: I added a note about work that's not listed being able to receive Togs. This is in reference to the request [Stephen] made in the crew forums and his offer of Togs as reimbursement.

I also made every instance of either my name or [Stephen]'s an "or." This way if one of us is unavailable/absent, members may message the other. :)

2011-11-05 [Stephen]: Wow, I see my name everywhere. o3o

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: I should have 3 togs! I did not know this! nuuu fair Iv'e done plenty of guard reports :o *points to his rat badge* AND two of my jokes were featured on elf pack *points to his badges slot agian*

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: AND I've fixed up many pages! *points to his custodian badge1*

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: When [becca21] decided to destroy them

2011-11-08 [Bookwyrm]: We've already covered the stuff that people did before we updated this. See Tog Bank.

As far as guard reports, they MUST say "Community Service For Togs" at the bottom. That's ALWAYS been that way. So previous reports don't count.

And I believe your featured jokes were featured before that was decided. We did not back-pay anyone for featured items. And I mean anyone.

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: :o

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: idk tbh :o I just wanted to point several times at my badge slot XD

2011-11-08 [Stephen]: Badges are cool. :3

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: *nod nod nod* I should make a badge or 20...

2011-11-08 [Stephen]: If you're interested in Togs, it's probably easiest to fix up old pages.

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: > Psh I've fixed old pages when [becca21] had a bitch fit XD

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: It was quite easy too >>

2011-11-08 [Bookwyrm]: I fixed one after I quit because nobody else found it. XD I don't even remember what it was now.

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: nor do I XD I can't remember which pages I fixed, but I know it was at least four

2011-11-08 [Stephen]: All Staff will be credited Togs for their past work shortly.

Once I get to it, anyway. :3

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: *gasps*

2011-11-21 [sammie h!]: How come there is no tog for volunteers lol??

2011-11-21 [Stephen]: It's not literally "just" for those positions. ;)

If a Guard who isn't a Custodian does Custodian page-fixing, they get Tog-credit.


However, Volunteers mostly handle general work like updating features (ie: page updates) and moderating contests with the Council. =)

2011-11-21 [sammie h!]: Oh, ok then x

2011-11-21 [sammie h!]: Who are the mainstuff crew??

2011-11-21 [Stephen]: Anyone who updates Mainstuff would be Mainstuff Crew. ;)

2011-11-21 [sammie h!]: Oh I get it now xx

2011-11-21 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: STEPHEN QUIT IGNORING MY TRAINING PAGE

2011-11-22 [Stephen]: I'M NOT.
I'M BUSY. PLAYING MAPLESTORY AND SKYRIM. :D

2011-11-22 [sammie h!]: lol

2012-01-23 [Deg]: D: I didn't know I could get togs for my jokes. Gahhgh! Missed muh chayance!

2012-01-23 [kittykittykitty]: You might still be able to get them. Claim anyway and see what happens :P

2012-01-23 [sammie h!]: How come Volunteers aren't up there? :)

2012-01-24 [kittykittykitty]: Togs may be awarded for work performed by staff that does not fit into the above perimeters.
I guess it falls under that category?

2012-01-24 [sammie h!]: ok. :)

2012-01-24 [Deg]: Yeah, I guess I can try. What's the worst that could happen? :)

2012-10-31 [Stephen]: You can still claim them, if you didn't get them. :P

I think I gave them to you though, if I recall..


@Sammie: Volunteer work would be under "other". Bookwyrm and I couldn't list every possible job and reward, or this page would be ridiculously long, in addition to still missing possible things. If you do something you believe is worthy of Togs, just message me about it. <img:http://elftown.eu/stuff/aj/61513/1267019305.png>


As everything else on this page notes, I don't personally review and keep track of everything, it's the job of the person to come to me with the inquiry about Togs, then I look into it. Otherwise, I'd have so much to do getting anything done would take me waaay to long. ('Specially with Bookwyrm gone..)

Thankfully, I have other awesome people like Kitty here to pick up the slack and make sure things still get done and updated. <3 Kitty. <img:http://elftown.eu/61691_1132936287.gif>

2012-11-18 [Deg]: [Stephen], it just occurred to me that the people being featured on GEE should be receiving togs. Should I be the one handing them out, or is this being taken care of?

2012-11-18 [Deg]: Note: If it's not being done already, I'd be happy to hand out togs (the ones specifically earned by people from GEE) but need to know what this all entails.

2012-11-19 [Stephen]: Right now, only myself and Ama should be touching the Tog Bank. No one else has rights to edit that page, regardless of priv level. =P


However, if someone is eligible for Togs I'm supposed to be informed via PM, and at which point I'll credit them.


PS: I'm going to give you a Tog Credit for your recent work on site. (:

2012-11-19 [Deg]: Ah, alright! That's fine by me. My line of thought was that some people my not know they earn togs by being featured on GEE, so I was just thinking if it were my job, I should be informing these people. However, now I'll just tell them that they should message you to collect the togs if they haven't done so already. :D

Oh, thank you! :D

2012-11-19 [Stephen]: Well, if you want you can also tell me and I'll credit them. x)


You're welcome. :)

2012-11-20 [sammie h!]: Have my togs been added x

2012-11-20 [Deg]: [Stephen]: Either way! I think I'm getting at that it's less about who does it and more about making sure Elfpackers are aware of Togs in general. <img:zabuN-gif.gif> That's all. Because I know that I personally didn't know what they were until relatively recently.

2012-11-21 [Stephen]: Well, before [Bookwyrm] and I revamped the Toggery system overall, Togs didn't have a huge impact sitewide. They only functioned to buy Toggery cards. :3

@Sammie: Nope.

;)

2012-11-21 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: What if mine was previously done :o

2012-11-21 [Stephen]: It's kind of ironic, really.

Going off the ways to earn Togs for worker incentive, I should be swimming in Togs. However, I'm the only person really handling the Tog Bank, and I feel unsettled giving myself Togs. Hahaha.

I don't really need them anyway, to be honest..

2012-11-21 [Stephen]: @Jimmy: If you had one featured and didn't get a reward, them PM me and I'll assign a Tog to you. :P

2012-11-21 [Deg]: Well my goodness. Just give yourself some Togs, for goshsakes. Everyone knows you've earned them! If you feel uncomfortable rewarding yourself for specific things, maybe just do it by a timetable, like a paycheck. You do active work at a pretty damn daily pace, so give yourself, I dunno, two togs a week. Or a few every other week, or something. Like a paycheck! Don't be lame, haha. <img:img/mood/257_1112669320.jpg>

Back to my original point about togs...I totally get that they're not totally relevant anymore, their primary purpose has pretty much been put on hold, but my whole point is just trying to get more people interested in more things. More activity around the site and whatnot. Even on a very small scale. So all I'm going to do, when I tell people they've been featured, is mention that they got a trophy coming (at which point I'll have already messaged you, [Stephen], about getting on that) and that they've also earned 2 togs and if they'd like to receive them to also message you. The one thing I feel bad about is that they always have to message you for these things because if you get bogged down with too many messages, they probably won't receive their prizes in a timely manner and thus may get discouraged from participating in something again.

But...I'm getting ahead of myself, haha. I mean, EP has to be really, really active for any of these things to happen and it's not there yet. Just...just trying to help.

2012-11-21 [Stephen]: x)
A paycheck, that's kind of funny.

Well, it still holds that there's very few things from the Tog Store that I don't have, anyway. x) I think offhand I could get one more Pet Slot, and probably another Unique. I know there's a Toggery Card I'm going to buy once it's released to public sale. :D


As to bogging me with messages, I check my messages at least once every day or two for new messages, and scan the content. If it's important (or quick), I handle it on spot. The only delivering I'm not really fond of is the EPA, because those take like an hour to do, and doing them in parts can end up with confusion, upset members, and occasionally trophies not being delivered. xD

Honestly, it's mostly things I need to actually respond to with more than one line, or something that'd require a decent amount of page editing that tends to get held up, most of the time.


It's good to try to help! I like suggestions. Also, I completely agree with you mentioning both Togs and their trophy to people. (:

2012-11-21 [Stephen]: Annnyway, I credited [HeAVenShallBuRN], [Cerulean Sins], [wolvie] and [sammie h!] for their missing Togs from GEE!


Granted, there's still missing Togs from the last couple of entries on Elfpack Jokes, in addition to a few other things..


From what I know, no one has had any Togs rewarded since Valentine Cupid, so I'll check past official contests and fix any missing Togs from those and try to get the Mainstuff Features also caught up..

2012-11-21 [Stephen]: .. or maybe not since before that. ;;

I don't see any official listing for ANY contest in 2012. So I'll just reward from every official contest to date since the start of 2012. >_>

2012-11-21 [Deg]: <img:img/mood/257_1112669482.jpg>

2012-11-21 [Stephen]: Well, that took more work than I had hoped it would. x)

All official contest rewards are updated, as are Mainstuff Features for 2012. Some people might have gotten double rewards, no idea. >_>'


Now to send out all the Guestbook messages! <img:http://elftown.eu/44166_1164145048.gif>

2012-11-21 [Deg]: Wow, you got a lot of work done! <img:img/mood/257_1112669837.jpg> Thanks! I appreciate all the togs, haha.

2012-11-21 [Deg]: I nearly forgot I had competed in all those contests! T'was a pleasant surprise.

2012-11-22 [Stephen]: Heh, you're welcome. <img:http://elftown.eu/44166_1164144932.gif>

I think next up on my list is getting the Giffie-Pet Store fixed up. Since I'm the only employee at the moment, I might retire the fairy for the time being and revert it back to how it was when members signed themselves up for pets..

I also need to go through the Tog Bank / Toggery Registered List and remove people who have been gone more than 100 days. x)

2012-11-22 [Deg]: Hmm, good ideas all around! <img:mood10_gif.gif> As always, if there's anything I can do to help...

2012-11-22 [Stephen]: Well, removing the Togs took me almost two hours. x)

The Tog Bank is nearly completely updated now. There's still some missing Togs, but it's really not my responsibility to track down every possible Tog every possible person has earned. I did the majority of them, at least. x)

2012-11-22 [sammie h!]: Is there a tropy for goofy elfpackers elfpacking yet as if so I haven't received it lol

2012-11-22 [Stephen]: I'm aware you haven't.

Yes, there is a trophy. I know that you know there's a trophy. I've been doing things, pretty much non-stop, for the last five and a half hours. The three people who were featured before you didn't get their trophies until yesterday. You'll get it before your feature is changed. =P

2012-11-22 [sammie h!]: Ok, I thought they maybe changing the design and that's why I hadn't received it yet lol. :D

2012-11-22 [Stephen]: Nope, the trophies are supposed to be changed in the future, but the Graphic Bosses are busy and thus they haven't been yet. :P

2012-11-22 [sammie h!]: Oh ok and sorry I have read the part I was meant to read and its ok, ill start over so I know x

2012-11-22 [Deg]: Patience is a virtue! Haha. <img:sutN.gif> [Stephen], you've done amazing work today. Major kudos. Now take a breather before you are forced to explosively implode.

2012-11-22 [Stephen]: That sounds like it'd be messy. <img:http://elftown.eu/44166_1164145068.gif>

2012-11-22 [Deg]: Quite! <img:k-gif.gif>

2012-11-22 [sammie h!]: <img:http://elftown.eu/img/mood/61513_1224162872.gif> lol
