+yanagi Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 I don’t know why but yesterday the roak cointest by drneal came to my mind which was for sure one of the best cointests ever. I searched for the thread and found out that it was exactly 1 year ago that drneal started this cointest. Well, I took this for a sign and want to start a new one this year so I asked drneal for permission and after getting it (thanks drneal) – here it is: Cointest - A Random Act Of Kindness 2 To explain the rules I just want to quote the inventor: ... the rules: perform a random act of kindness for your community, a stranger, a neighbor, whomever. I'm not expecting gradiose gestures, just a random act of kindness, from the heart. 1 entry per day (although you are certainly welcome to perform more than 1 kindness in a day.) report that you have performed a random act of kindness (although you are not to report what kindness you performed, or for whom...this way there will be no judging...my only request is that it be an act that you don't normally perform during your day.) cointest to end midnight dec. 31 2011..winner picked at random. ... think of the good this group can achieve over the next 4 months. ILYK The new cointest ends of course in dec. 31 2012, so that's the only thing I want to change. The price will be a Circle of Four geocoin (blue on rhodium) or if you want to and if they are here at that time a Team Yanagi XLE twotone. PLEASE participate as much as you did last year!!!!!! Let's do some good!!! Quote

+GATOULIS Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 WOW... It was a very nice cointest like that in the past... and I really enjoyed participating! I did one yesterday and one today... hahahaha but to be honest.. these are things I usually do, as I love helping others if I can... the feeling is amazing! No matter if the help and the good is big or not... so.. I hope these will count...too! anyway....if it is ok.. count me for today! Quote
+jpbarr Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 I love these cointests as it shows how much the community helps. I am in the middle of mine, it started yesterday and will end tomorrow. Quote
+LewisClan77 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 This was a great cointest last year and will be great again this year. Done for today... Quote
+steben6 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks for reviving a great cointest idea! We should all be kinder these days. So, today I was. Quote
+kini_ont Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Thank you yanagi for the cointest RAOC done for today Quote
+SgtMikal Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Excellent idea. We all could use a little encouragement to do RAoK's on a regular basis. Thanx for resurrecting this cointest. I'm in for today... Quote
+Carbon Hunter Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Started the day here in africa - did one yesterday (in the rain) Quote
+kungfuhippie Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 while I'm not an overly kind hippie I did manage to be nice today. Quote
+JackHoe Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 I don't think so much about random acts of kindness, because to me it's something I try to have that as a basic attitude. But I was thinking of last week and I remember one for friday. I think I won't be posting with every act of kindness, but I like the idea and will try to do at least one every day. Thank you for helping to think in a kind way. Quote

+Fianccetto Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 I liked that cointest too, and it's so great to see another one. It's a good time of year, too. I went for some training for some rather specialised voluntary raok today, not sure if that counts or not. Other than that my day has mainly been about challenging teenager(s). Quote
+yanagi Posted September 10, 2012 Author Posted September 10, 2012 Though of course not participating in the cointest I did one today! Quote
+GATOULIS Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 did one today (and 2 are waiting for tomorrow!) Quote
+SgtMikal Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Another entry for today. I DO like this!! Quote
+steben6 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 I did something really nice for a lizard today. Does that count? Quote
+kini_ont Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Hey almost forgot, yes done for the day Quote
+LewisClan77 Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Did one today before leaving work... Quote
