Hello and welcome to Ultimus Week for the NSFL Season 21! You will have ten days to complete the Ultimus Week point task, so the deadline will be April 16th, 2020 at 11:59PM PDT.
CHOOSE 4 TASKS, EACH WILL BE REWARDED 2.5 TPE FOR COMPLETION FOR A MAXIMUM OF 10 TPE.
Rules:
1) Written tasks must be at least 200 words (No exceptions and no partial credit, not that hard to get to 200 words). Words are counted using the forum’s word counter, so stopping at 200 words exactly is a dicey risk to take.
2) You can do any option for any task. They can be a mix, but please only do each task once.
3) Only submit one post in this thread.
4) Graphics must be more than text on an image - it is Ultimus week, show Ultimus effort. It is up to the grader’s discretion to give credit, so don’t give us a reason to deny you TPE.
5) We are again keeping the podcast option for topics. Please stay on topic for the task and make sure to include 5 minutes of talk on the task you are working with. Podcast options can be used in place of ANY of the Written options. We will be timing you and pause the timer when you get too far off topic.
6) As it is too hard and complicated to time the podcast for media money and task credit, if you do a podcast it can only be for Ultimus week. Do a separate podcast if you want media credit.
7) You may use a PBE, SHL, and GOMHL PT as credit for a maximum of 1 tasks here.
8) Affiliate PT must be from this week, 4/6 to 4/12, to get credit.
9) Affiliate PT must be the actual task, but not a link for welfare credit.
