Long, long ago, on a website not-so-far away...
In the great community of deviantART, within the mighty village of dAmn, a war is brewing -- a war to appease the Great Fella God!
Many in the past have sought ways to please this angry beast, and many have failed. These tales of great battle and loss are still whispered around the campfires of #devart: @
mykel's valiant attempts to offer @
realillusions as a virgin sacrifice, or $
chix0r's struggles to serenade Fella with her dulcet Scottish tones .. but nothing could be found to please the Great Fella God, not even a scantily clad `
Oukan.
But now the tides are turning and the war is changing!
The mighty warrior $
Tachy-on and his valiant troops of MN@ found a way to please Fella, and now the tribes of dAmn are competing for Fella's blessing -- and so can you!
You can help gain favor to you and your tribe by luring and trapping new deviants into the great village of dAmn -- but that is not enough to please the Great Fella God! No, you must make sure your new tribesman stay in dAmn by showing them how great our village is! If they stay and your trap is successful, rumor says that the Great Fella God will be mighty pleased...

#dATribes chatroom opens at 3:00pm PSTHow to Play
You begin by joining the
#dATribes chatroom and laying a trap for another person by typing:
!trap usernameNow contact that person and tell them about the contest and the dAmn Village! When you get them to join the #dATribes chatroom, the trap is successful, and they become a member of your Tribe. At that point, they can start playing too and help to build the strength of your Tribe!

You can set up to 3 traps at a time.

When the trap is successful in bringing someone into your Tribe, you gain the trap back.

If the trap isn't successful within 24 hours, it disintegrates and you gain another trap to replace it. (The traps are rather primitive and don't stand up to weather very well.)

You can't set a trap for just anyone. Generally speaking, you won't be able to set a trap for someone who already regularly visits the village of dAmn.
How to Gain Tribal Points
Fella will be pleased when your traps are successful and you show the new Tribe member how fun the dAmn village can be. It's important to keep them interested in the dAmn Village because it effects how many points you can earn:

For every player that you successfully trap into your Tribe, you gain 10 Tribal Points. After that, for each day that person visits the dAmn Village you will gain one additional point - the dAmn village encompasses all chatrooms on the Chat Network.

If a Tribe member you've successfully trapped into your Tribe is away from the dAmn village for 5 days or more, you lose the 10 Tribal Points and no longer gain the additional point per day for them.

I feel as if I need to pick from two paths...Light...Dark...Loneliness. Love will pull me into light, hate into dark and an absence of either into loneliness.
