Referral Contests
-
Note: Referral Contests are no longer held due to technical issues with the statistics.
Referral Contests are month-long competitions to see who can bring in the most new players to the Empire. The contest itself has two competitive categories. One part is to bring the most players to the server, and the other part of the competition is to get the most clicks. The contests are currently suspended indefinitely, due to technical issues with being able to gather referral data.
Prizes(top)
Six prizes are typically given out at the End of each contest. For referring the most people, you earn a Supporter Voucher, which can be redeemed to Admins, for a month of the corresponding supporter rank. For receiving the most clicks on your banner, you can win a Referral Block Of Clickyness. Depending on the rank, there are Iron (3rd), Gold (2nd), and Diamond (1st) Referral Blocks of Clickyness.
How to participate(top)
First off, you will need to head to the "My Empire" tab at the top of the site. Then, scroll down to the bottom of the page.
At the bottom of the page is your referral banner. The link below is already tailored to fit your username to help earn you referrals. Note that the design of this banner is improved over time.
How to get your referral banner noticed!(top)
http://www.planetminecraft.com
To get started, head over to the forum section of Planet Minecraft (or any other Minecraft Forum). Under the "Servers" sub-forum, you can find people who are looking for servers. You can reply to the thread with the banner in the post or in your signature to spread the word about EMC. If you properly put up the image, any clicks and referrals will automatically be counted towards the contest.
The "Servers" section is not the only place to be seen. Be active! Post on threads as you would on EMC's own forums. A single post with the referral banner in your signature is seen by everyone who views that thread. Imagine the influence that a larger amount of posts could make.
You can use the referral banner as your signature on any forums that you frequently visit, Minecraft related or not. The best way for the Empire to be amazing is for us to be a Community, both on and off of the Empire.
Take part in events on EMC, host one yourself or visit a special Empire residence.
