Worldbuilding: Miscellaneous
Requirements
A fairly freeform prompt, write out in detail whatever you think would benefit the site!
One entry per day. Once we have a good backlog, this may be reduced to weekly for a time.
Please ensure any suggestions are fleshed out with enough detail or reasoning that we can do something with them. Submissions that are simply "more mutations" or one-three short sentences are probably not all that helpful and might be rejected or request to be filled out more, especially if they have to do with big implementations.
We may DM you privately to ask for more information or discussion!

Send in your entries for the advertisement contest!
Details
Promotional Event
Post a journal or similar advertisement on Deviantart or another similar website to get a randomized simple tsabhua or belemoid (your choice!) once this prompt opens for entries.
If you invite at least 5 people who aren't already members, you get to pick the base coat colour.
For every invited person* that doesn't join: You get one randomized allele.
For every invited person* that DOES join and sends in a First Colonist Claim: You get an allele that you get to pick.
* Max of 5 total extra alleles, regardless of randomized or picked.
If a person you invited joins, sends in a First Colonist Claim, AND posts an advertisement (that you link) - you get a random mutation for this event colonist! If there are at least five people you invite who fit that criteria, you get to pick what mutation it is!
Please ask your invitees to mention you in their Claim so you are sure to get credit!

A Day in the Life
Every colony is different! Some are laid back with little to no routine, others have strict routines for day to day work.
This prompt was made so that new colonies can have a bit of free-form fun to explore and also get a bit of a head start into the game, which we understand can be hard to get started in. It can be called a "Newbie Prompt" or even a "Starter Prompt."
On top of the normal Research Points and Experience Points you get for normal prompts, you earn ten free Immigration Vouchers for use in the immigration center as well as 100 Xen!
Requirements
- Experience equivalence required: Minimum 7 experience per colonist, including at least one background.
- Maximum Focus Colonists: Ten.
Please make sure to make it clear in your submission comments who is being included and from where so that we can be sure to distribute points correctly.
