Primtionary for Hire

POPULAR SL GAME "PRIMTIONARY"
WHAT IS PRIMTIONARY?
Having run for over three and a half years straight, Primtionary is one of the most - if the not THE most - popular group game in Second Life. An experience truly unique to the virtual world, Primtionary is the modern Pictionary: One person gets up on stage and is given a secret word by the host which describes what they have to build. As they build the audience tries to figure out what the word is. The first person to guess the word wins a token prize - currently 25 Lindens per word - and, more importantly, the privilege of building the next word.

Primtionary is run daily, sometimes even twice a day, free of charge and is open to all. Many experienced SL builders, including even some of the Lindens, acquired their essential skills on a Primtionary stage and still frequent it regularly. The head host and official owner of Primtionary is Yummie Olsen. She is assisted by a cadre of experienced residents when hosting the game.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT PRIMTIONARY HOSTED AT YOUR LAND?
Primtionary has been hosted for so long that it does bring a lot of great people and it is a great social event. Want to get your land out there? Get others to know about it? Well there's no better way to attract people and to let people know about your place. Primtionary events at your place are a great way to attract traffic and to get the word out about your place.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST YOU TO HAVE PRIMTIONARY AT YOUR SIM, ON YOUR LAND?
The cost to have Primtionary held on your sim is 3000 Lindens plus the prize money, which is usually about 375 Lindens. If you pay fully in advance (3375 Lindens) I will pay out the prizes to the winners during the game. I will always run Primtionary to the highest standard and, as always, I will send out notices and IMs to everyone in the Primtionary groups, which means the announcements will reach about 300 people.
Accredited Educational Universities will get a discounted price of 2375.
For that price I will set up the auditorium, and host for an hour. If you want it to be a weekly event we can arrange for a price for that if it is going to be a regular event which there will be a discount since I wont have to keep setting up and tearing down the auditorium.

The first player to get the word wins a token prize money (currently 25L per word) and, more importantly, the privilege of building the next word.

SPONSORING PRIMTIONARY
As tips aren't sufficient to cover prize money expenses for a game that runs so often, it relies on sponsors to cover its ongoing operating costs. Past and present sponsors are SL business owners - popular stores, clubs, SL real estate agencies, and more. Sponsoring Primtionary is a classic win-win deal: the game gets the funds that allow it to keep operating, while the sponsors get targeted advertising aimed at a much-desired demographic of quality SL residents who attend the games.
Several tier levels are offered to sponsors:
Bronze: Placement of a static, non-scripted ad sign next to the stage (sized up to 6 sqm)Silver: Same as Bronze, but your ad sign can be scripted to give out a notecard and a landmark upon touch by anyone
Gold: Same as Silver, plus the occasional one-line commercial announcement (shown in public chat) by the automatic podium used by Primtionary hosts
Platinum: Same as Gold, plus the option of giving out freebies using a dedicated object, and mention of your business by name in daily notices that go out to the various Primtionary player groups
Most important of all: by sponsoring Primtionary you are not only getting valuable targeted advertising, you're also helping support one of the most unique experiences that Second Life has to offer.
Sponsorhip packages are 1000L, 2000L, 3000L, and 4500L per month, respectively.
Want to see what it all looks like? Just look up "Primtionary" in the Events board, and join the next game!

Primtionary Instructions

Primtionary Instructions:
To play: Think of what level you can build on, as to how good you can build. There is Easy, Medium, Hard, Evil and Impossible. Tell me out loud what level you are at in building. I will give you a word in Instant messenger for you to build that is on your level of building. The game consists of one player "building a word". The first person that guesses the correct word wins that round and 25 Lindens and is entitled to build on the next round.
Please remove all of your build off the stage.
Building letters is not allowed you are not allowed to spell the word out or even part of the word, can use letters for the build but not if the letter is in the word. Custom textures, colors for prims are allowed. No textures that are the word. As in mural, you can't put a mural texture on the prim. It does need to be built on stage, so you cannot pull something out of your inventory.
What is allowed is the CC shapes out of prims colored green means SOUNDS LIKE. The CC is the syllable for an ear and that is why it is for the sounds like. You can also use + if you need to break down the word into syllables. You can use a green arrow to point at what you want them to see or say.
No scripts are to be used in the build, and no sculpties allowed.
If you have any questions, feel free to IM Yummie Olsen as she is the one that runs the Primtionary events.
If you are stuck on a word given, please feel free to IM the host to get some help, or to get some clues going, or to have the host help in building, we are not looking to embarrass anyone.

Back from SLCC Tampa

I am back from Tampa and I did promote Primtionary there. I passed out a lot of pens and I also passed out a lot of business cards. Tampa was a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of people that are interested in Primtionary. At the moment I do own Primtionary.net but at the moment I dont have a webpage designer and I dont know how, but in the future, check there for all Primtionary information.

Primtionary for Memorial Day Events

Hi!
Some wonderful events taking place this weekend. There will be live music starting at 4sl time with Frogg Marlowe, and at 5pm sl time Grateful will be playing next followed by Spaceman Opus Djing through Primtionary. There is also a Primtionary Hunt going on with Bottles hidden on the Sim with Pictures in them. Put them in a notecard of what the builds are and number them with your name on it. the first person that gets them right will win 1000L.

Hi everyone! Primtionary was suppose to start about an hour ago but with Second Life down that makes it hard. As for the schedule, there will be if Second Life is up and running Primtionary at 7sl time and at 8:30 sl time.

Primtionary mentioned in a Podcast

http://slpodcast.net/2008/03/31/diamonds-and-rust-5/ Primtionary is mentioned for a bit at the 21:00 mark. It is pretty neat, do check it out.

Yay to a new Host

Hi Primtionary Players,
Well a great new change, yes boy did i need it. There is a new host to be welcomed at Primtionary. I hope everyone helps her out, respects her and I am thankful for her. I need a good new change as did Primtionary. The new host is Rowan Thursday, she will be hosting on Wednesdays tho at 2sl time. Hope everyone comes out to give her a warm welcome to hosting.

The rules of Impossibles

Hello,
Well to inform everyone on the rules of Impossibles. Ok well I had a bunch of people contacting me about the impossibles taking up the time of the Primtionary event. I then put in place the timer, at the same time was also the thought floating around to limit Impossibles to one per player per event. This is a way so that the audience does not get bored trying to figure out words for the whole event that they have never ever heard of. It can make the event a total drag, a long drawn out event with a bunch of words that you have never saw in you life. Now to reiterate the rules:

The timer will be in place for all events except the new builders event that I host on Saturdays at 11am.

The other rule will be on Impossible level choice per person per event.

I hope everyone is OK with this, I am trying to please everyone. If you have questions let me know or post them here.

I will be hosting tomorrow for Primtionary for both events. One for the new builders at 11am sl time and the other that is regular primtionary at 7sl time. I do hope people come out and support Primtionary either of them.

Primtionary Changes

Well there are going to be a few changes so that I will be able to run it alone. As Primtionary has grown and more hosts have come aboard I have always had help. There is one person that has helped me and Primtionary along, for the list that this person has done, well it is not even countable. It was all the stuff behind the scenes that this person has done. Now for me to do it alone, yes I can, and I do believe that. I just got to learn how. I Hope everyone can deal with the changes coming and will stick by Primtionary. As for some of the changes well, not going to hide it, Spaceman Opus did a great deal for Primtionary, I can't even tell anyone how much he did. As I learn to take it all on, please forgive me on learning and planning and scheduling. There will be a new schedule coming out for Primtionary so that I will be able to be there at the times it is hosted to be able to clean things up and deal with the griefers and such. Spaceman Opus was the co-host of Primtionary, if you see him around thank him for all that Primtionary has become, with out him it wouldn't have come this far. as for a new schedule, do stay tuned to this blog, and to my profile, I will have it posted in there. This is an all new change for me, an all new change for Primtionary, and for the audience. Not anything major, but as for the schedule I am going to have to make sure that it is scheduled so I can be available to deal with returning prims, deal with griefers to boot them, and so I can be deal with complaints and stuff like that. Thank you for supporting Primtionary and stay tuned. Please if anything check out the sponsors just to see their places, they do look awfully cool. ah a side note, I just saw not to long ago in a second life newspaper that scope cleaver built an embassy, I mean wow how cool is that.

Head Host of Primtionary,
Yummie Olsen

Primtionary with a timer

Primtionary Changes

Ok well some new things have happened to Primtionary. I have implemented a timer which will give people more of a chance to build. The timer is set for 10 minutes, but let me tell you, 10 minutes is longer then you think when you are up there building. Not to sweat tho, don't get to scared, if you are struggling there are always the hosts there, it is what they are for. At the 5 minute warning that is when they are to start giving clues. The timer is mainly to make sure the audience doesn't get bored with long drawn out builds which is what started happening. So far the timer has not been a problem for anyone and has gotten good reviews. The one event when the timer is not used is for new builders primtionary.

Your Primtionary Host,

Yummie Olsen
