R A K is Random Acts of Kindness.


Rak attacks are once a month there is an annonymous vote for someone who needs a pick me up. Some one who is really kind, or is having the worst week/month/year of forever.

And at the end of the month everyone send a pin to that one person! Kind of like mass zapping! But with a special cause.

Would anyone want to play? To make someones day better?
 

LoL I wanted to propose something like this a while back but I never posted it . I'm part of a reefers club called northern valley reefers for people that have salt water aquariums and we do something like this but with corals . So I think this is a great idea. Also I have a question what is zapping? I would like to nominate the first person if I can? I believe becca should be the first because she made a lot of people signature and I thought that was very nice . She made one for me and my wife.
 
wow..that sounds real cool. I bet that would be a real pick me up. Even just kind words can make everything feel better sumtimes... DPF is the best !!!!
 
Let's see here... Am I willing to give up one of my special little Disney Gems just to try to make someone feel better....
Of Course I am...LOL... That's just silly...

But please let's not just choose the Woe is Me type people or those who complain that their life sucks all the time... Everyone has problems in life... Perhaps suggestions by other members of people who would deserve it... Someone in the hospital... A loss of a loved one... But not just the 'Woe is Me' people... Just my opinion...

wow. sounds awesome. I will happily join in. Who is gonna handle these mass zaps? How do we keep quiet who the next "target" is?

This thread will prolly get moved to the PIF/Zap sub forum of trade/want huh?
 
Eric... The salt water aquariums and corals are just code words for what the NV Reefers really trade isn't it...LOL

 



This is pretty much what I was thinking as well. Not everyone i as open to share what is going wrong in their lives . . . . also I think if too many people are having a rough time and then they don't get picked it might make them feel worse - and I dont want to see that happen.
 
Here is an exact copy of the post for the art site where we do this, I'll edit it to fit rules we have here or come up with!





Here's how we could edit it for our site, starting this/next month:






And I wouldn't mind hosting it.
 
This sounds really nice! Count me in.

But for what its worth, I agree with Goofy Moe - I think it would be nice if the people who received the RAK attacks were nominated by other people, not themselves...

 
Oh that's wonderful. And a lot easier logistically than I thought, if one person is willing to do all the hosting and listkeeping. Thank you for being willing! I'm totally in.
 
Oh yes, you cannot nominate yourself
It's for people who have been extremely helpful, who are helpful and are having a bad time

Like some of the rules say, it's not a popularity contest. It's not because you simply like someone...plus I'm sure the people who are voting in secret (people who choose to play) will pick who they want.

Because of that it usually is someone who really deserves it, you know, because people will keep voting for certain people for a reason.
 
What if people just start making up bullsh*t stories?? Also what is so "random" about this?? If it was really a random act of kindness, somebody would just do it out of the kindness of their heart. Not a planned out thread about who has the saddest story.

Am so sorry, but count me out of this. I really don't see this ending well.
 
Since the description also says to think of people who are kind and accommodating, I doubt it would go to the kind of person who'd make up a story. Also I doubt many people would make up a story just to get this, since it doesn't have to be pins, it doesn't have to be expensive, etc., and the limit is once a year per person. Few people would make up a sob story in public just to get some cards and letters once a year.

I think in any system there might be some who try to abuse it, but I don't think that's a reason not to do it.

Romancing_Train, since you're on a site that's already doing this-- does that site have any problems with people trying to abuse it?

(Edited this post because I realized I addressed it to the wrong person; I was thinking it was Crashmyparty who had started this. Sorry about that.)
