Flight Rising Discussion

"Letters to Everyone" is a program meant to be used to spread cheer to our nook of the community. It works by sending me private messages using the template below and then I'll send them out once a day. The users who choose to participate will be pinged, and will then have the opportunity to read through them, respond to these users, and send messages of their own. You can think of this service as a mass, virtual pen-pal session! [size=4] How is this different from a forum post? How is it different than personal PMs?[/size] This program is a different way to connect to the community, and be sure that others will be able to see it. After all, you are sending a letter to Everyone (and everyone who chooses to participate). It's also a way for you to meet new users you wouldn't otherwise come in contact with while scrolling through the forums. Furthermore, if this program takes off to a considerable size, there would be lots of opportunities for games and events (such as Discord Karaoke, jam sessions, skribbl.io games, movie streams, raffles and giveaways, and more). By signing up for Letters to Everyone, you're not just signing up for daily messages to brighten your day. You're signing up for a little nook of the community that promises to be kind and caring.

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/GYnxyC8.png[/img] [u]Step Number One: Think of something to say.[/u] You should make sure your message is well intentioned and complies with Flight Rising rules. This isn't a place to vent--however, you are free to talk about your day, what you're currently working on, how school/work is going, etc. ----- [u]Step Number Two: Write it up in a PM to user @Everyone[/u] Messages should be personalized (not generic!), written in the correct format, and 4+ sentences in length to ensure quality. The title of the PM should be "Letter to Everyone", the first line should be "Dear Everyone," and you should close the message with your username. [quote=Good Message:] Dear Everyone, Today I got promoted at work!! I have been working hard towards this job for a little over a year now and I am so excited to see where I can go from here. The work can be exhausting at times, but it keeps me settled in place and let's me support my little puppy. In Flight Rising, right now I'm working on geneing up one of my dragons. I justttt need one more gene and then they'll be complete. I also bought a level 25 and it's made coli grinding so much easier. Love, (username) [/quote] [quote=Bad Message:] Dear Everyone, hi. My day was horrible. Happy notn Love (username)[/quote] ----- [u]Step Three: Hit Send.[/u] You will get a confirmation letter from one of the couriers with a little response, unless your letter is deemed inappropriate and I'll ask you to rewrite/edit it. Your letter will be posted in the next batch. You'll be pinged at this time so you can read the other letters. ----- [u]Step Four: Repeat up to once a day![/u] You can only have one letter per batch. However, if you want to edit your message before it gets posted, you can always PM @Everyone to work something out.

He is incredibly understanding and is known for being well intentioned, even if things go wrong.

She is very motherly and loves to sit and watch nature.

He does think it's a little weird that he's not allowed to wear clothes... But at least that means less to wash on laundry day. "Well, I remember when..."[/columns]

I can't wait to hear from everyone, and I REALLY can't wait to have some cheery PMs to look forward to. I really hope it takes off. I have so many ideas to implement over time.
