To win you get people to donate time, money or things. 
The Atlanta Volunteers is a 501 C 3 nonprofit.  We list other 501 C 3 nonprofits that PayPal verifies.  
PayPal sends the donor a donation receipt for 100% of their donation.  PayPal charges the nonprofit about 1.99%.  The Atlanta Volunteers does not handle your donation or charge fees to any nonprofit.
For every 25 cents that is donated PayPal signals us to add one volunteer reward coin called a "Loony" into the donors account.  Think of each loony as a receipt for the good cheer and good deeds it creates.
Loony coupons describe time spent volunteering and what things were donated.
Loony coupons let PayPal donors trade for volunteer time and things donated.
GAMEPLAY
Loonies are 100% worthless with less value than plastic poker chips.  Can you trade loonies for time, money or things?
There are three types of traders.
Sailors - almost 100% honest
Landlubbers - about 50% honest
Pirates - Well, we know about them
Each time "Purchase" is pressed on a loony coupon an entry is made on a public ledger.  There is also a public ledger for every donation made through PayPal.  Your public ledger (called your "Booty History") is the only tool you have to determine if you are making a deal with a Sailor, Landlubber or Pirate.
There is only one rule "You lose."  It is your decision to press the purchase button and transfer loonies so there are no mistakes, do overs, or "doesn't count that Pirate cheated me." (You are at a carnival at a place called the "Pirate Dive Bar", if you think you will be fooled or cheated by Pirates, come on in! Take a seat!)
The games are rigged with more cunning than any carnival you have ever been to, even the one just down the street, run by the county at the fair grounds. Can you do a better job rigging games at your carnival booth than the government can?  The carnival barkers are the most skilled snake oil salesmen known to man.  Okay, then can you at least sell snake oil to the women, like the beauty store does?  There is so much corruption, rigged games, gambling, catfishing, whoremongering and gambling on the whoremongering that sometimes pirates have to pretend to be sailors and make a string of honest deals just so they can mutiny and catch the big one.
STRATEGY
Benchmark
1 loony = 25 cents = 1 minute
Loony coupons change any value in the benchmark to make a deal.
If you are playing darts for 10 loonies it could take longer than 10 minutes to volunteer for that game.
If you are offering left over wings on your plate at a restaurant to your buddy for 20 loonies (to get back the loonies you lost playing darts) he could buy wings for more than the $5 in donations 20 loonies represent.  But he already has 10 of your loonies.  So in real money, if he donates $2.50 through PayPal he gets a deal on your left over wings that probably cost you a lot more.  You don't get any money but you get 20 loonies and you were going to throw out those left over wings your buddy ate.  This deal makes your booty bigger and the biggest booty wins.
How skilled are you at the "Art of The Deal."
RECYCLING
From the section "Feeding Mermaids at the Petting Zoo" you know that recycling is trading cash for loonies and why we want everyone to recycle with Mermaids.  Anyone that is not a Mermaid  is a shark.  Think of recycling as how we pay fund raisers without using our money to pay them. We want to make you as rich as possible from recycling especially since our money isn't being used to make you successful!  Good luck trying to explain fiat cash flow speed for recyclable altruistic currency!  Just grab them by the booty!
If you recycle your loony booty with a shark, expect to follow our one and only rule.
That being said.  I have dove with sharks a fair number of times.  I like sharks! What would a pirate ship be without a lot of sharks waiting for somebody to walk the plank.  How many times can the same shark fool you? If you have ever pointed to somebodies chest then flicked them in the nose when they look down, you know how much fun it is to fool them over and over again.
If you have mastered your carnival barking and catfishing skills to become an apex predator you can list your cash app information at your country.  Everyone knows to beware of sharks and what our only rule is. They also know how to use a public ledger to look at your booty history.  If you have soiled your booty you will be known for having a dirty booty and who wants to deal with that?
If there are no Mermaids available at your nearest restaurant, create a venue and a petting zoo and start feeding the Mermaids.  Their booty will get bigger and you can get your hands on their treasure chest.  Best of all, they can recycle their loony booty for cash!
Each question needs a category, subject and a topic.  
You can use categories, subjects and topics already built or add something new.
A carnival booth is a simple hyperlink to your country. Think of it as the bright lights and colors that draw you into the actual booth.  The actual booth is your TAVE and all the loony coupons you have created for fun, food and games.  (Watch the 15 minute mission video to know what country, TAVE, loony coupon and other terms mean.)
"Carnival barking" are words and an amount of loonies used for the hyperlink. (words in blue are where the hyperlink might go)  
"Darts 10", "Karaoke Challenge 25", "Umbrella escort to your car 5", "Leftover wings 10" are examples of carnival barking (tag lines) that create the link for your carnival booth. 
It is your choice to create a loony coupon that matches your carnival barking so when people visit your country they see it and click on it.  
To compete in Pirate School Trivia, you want to distract other players with your carnival barking and carnival booth.  They could miss roll call or give wrong answers by not paying attention in school and playing at the carnival!  If your carnival barking leads people to visit your country, they may get distracted with shopping for loony coupons and the games, prizes and attractions at your TAVE.
Your booty will get bigger each time they press purchase on one of your loony coupons.  Make them great! It doesn't matter how smart you are in Pirate School, the biggest booty at the carnival always wins.
For example your last job interview.  Who got hired, the smartest or the biggest booty?  Why did the girl with the biggest booty staying after class always get an "A+."
This is a fund raising game for the Atlanta Volunteers and the nonprofits we support.  We don't care how smart you are, just surrender the booty!
(You should watch our mission video to understand some of these words and concepts.)  You need one photo to complete this and may consider making a comedy bumper or B roll.
"Feeding Mermaids at the Petting Zoo"
Give cash to a server that is not part of a tip.
"Earning rank" at Pirate School is one of the many examples of why you feed Mermaids at the Petting Zoo. 
You would think that $5 to attend Pirate School should go to the Atlanta Volunteers or other nonprofits so why would you feed it to Mermaids at the Petting Zoo? 
E1 Seaman Recruit
I have chosen FORSYTH AREA SPORTS TEAMS for Kroger Community Rewards
I have given a "logged in" Mermaid a $5 cash tip. The tip can not be part of your bill.
I have donated to any nonprofit using the Loony menu
I have transferred 20 loonies to a server and said "sailor" in the message
I have learned how to use "Tools" to verify any claim made at Pirate School
2 or more are needed
Consider this marketing strategy for making Pirate School viral.  It would reach more donors and get more viewers for the first episode of "Special Heroes." 
If servers get cash at random times, how popular will Pirate School Trivia be with servers?  How motivated will other servers be to create a Mermaids Lair and play the Tramp Stamp game by creating a Petting Zoo where they work?
If somebody makes a large donation to the Atlanta Volunteers and gives a lot of their worthless game tokens called "loonies" to a server, and a server recycles her loony booty for cash what will happen to the popularity of Pirate School when other servers see her large treasure chest stuffed full of cash?
At any time, with any server, take a picture of you and the cash you are handing over.  If possible include a picture of the server holding the cash.  The best way to do this is to have the server play the tramp stamp game to become your citizen. Then in the Pirates menu at the top, they use the transfer widget to transfer at least one loony back to you with a "Thanks" message to show up in your booty history.  This is so they will understand the tramp stamp game and what recycling their "loony booty for cash" is.
You get an honorable mention if you also create a comedy bumper, and ask them to "recycle their loony booty for cash" and do not get slapped and thrown out.  A comedy bumper or B roll could be made if you can get a friend to video it.  You may rehearse this optional video with the server and create a comedy bumper, B roll or just do it live.
Including an amount of loonies is optional

To know what a production block is, look at this episode block list, for Special Heroes. Then find "Comedy Bumpers."  The longest bumpers are 30 seconds. Most would be 5 or 10 second clips pasted together to make 30 seconds.
An evolving storyboard is what describes a crowd sourced production block.  Every once in awhile somebody updates the video link to another version.  Finally after weeks or months and many people editing, producing and uploading their own versions, the group has a team effort they can enter into the "Tropical Adventure Competition."
Comedy bumpers help you and us.
Comedy bumpers are like short camp fire skits on video.  (very rough simple improv) Your venue or team has a comment page where live and online players can make comedy bumpers on the spot with your favorite social media.  Your whole team and anyone can paste your social media link to the comedy bumper on their country.  This attracts more viewers and subscribers to your social media pages. When other players look at who checked in they can easily visit your social media.
After you attend Pirate School for a few weeks the crowd sourcing comments on your country page should improve your skit and comedy bumper.  You can attend rehearsals live or online when your team attends Pirate School at your favorite venue.  Everything at the Pirate Dive Bar is open source in the public domain under the copyright of a nonprofit. Everyone can use and share anything on this website as nobody should upload copyright material. (Be careful with music, logo's and trademarks that are protected if somebody uploads them by mistake.) Encourage anyone to edit and produce improved versions of your comedy bumpers and have them attend live or online to collaborate.
Your carnival booth can also produce "B" roll for Special Heroes.  Paste your comedy bumper or  B roll links from your social media site here and on your "Country" page.  When people click on your carnival booth, they can also click on your country then your social media, business or website links. You may have now have them as customers for your home remolding business, your production team for Special Heroes, viewers or subscribers for Youtube, Only Fans or for whatever side gig you have.
The mission of the Atlanta Volunteers is to turn "Special Heroes" into "Super Heroes."  Our TV series called "Special Heroes" documents our quality of life improvements.  Your comedy bumpers and B roll help to tell the story.
You make the marketing effective for us and we create customers for any gig you have.  If you are meeting new customers while having fun with them, you definitely have a customer!  If your comedy bumpers are featured on an episode your side gig goes world wide.  If they are only seen by one or two people during a trivia game you might have a lot of fun with a new customer or meet a new friend!

Mutiny!

If you own a boat, you should post a picture of it here! 
If you want to be cast or crew for a skit, scheme or lesson plan for boating and water safety post picture for that role.  Scuba diver, sailor, jet ski, Mermaid, bow bunny, musician, rescue swimmer, professional rescuer, photographer, Pirate, Uncle Sam, George Washington or whatever fits.
Practice how to crowd source live streams that exchange loonies during trivia so you will be ready for the boat parade.  Create clips for trivia, Pirate school, Special Heroes and the July 4, boat parade called "Yo Ho Extravaganza."
(There is a spot for photos and video links on each trivia question you create.)
Cast and crew on a boat for the July 4 boat parade could be a Pirate, uncle Sam, George Washington, Mermaid, bow bunny, scurvy dog, photographer, musician and any crew member or character you want. (Each team has a task to create one line for the "Drunken Sailor" song and perform that as your karaoke challenge or initiation into the team)
Online players called "Assistant Bootymasters" (take a wild guess for the short form of that name) can login to the Bootymaster account and manage and direct the action on the boat and be the carnival barkers for the online crowd.  Having an online team member create bets and dares for people online is a great way for live players on a boat to put their phone down and have fun.
It will take a half dozen meetings or so to develop and rehearse skits and schemes and here is where you start.
After your team gets up to speed and are having fun together, think about producing lesson plans for trivia questions, pirate school or comedy and production blocks for Special heroes.
If you are really having a lot of fun with your team, maybe you could volunteer to spread good cheer and good deeds with the community around your venue.  Post B roll clips of your team  being role models for the Atlanta Volunteers!
Mutiny works like a bulletin board for organizing volunteers at the venue you check into.  You probably want to keep it public to reach the most volunteers.
There is an option for people that want to whisper words of mutiny. This could be for rehearsing a flash mob performance for the karaoke challenge game, a scheme for surrender the booty, rigging a game or bet for your carnival booth, surprising your co-workers at that next stuffy business meeting or creating a comedy bumper when you prepare to "Get Loony."
Your password keeps most people out, but information comes with a price.  Bribe, spy, hack and anyone of your trusted pirates can sell you out.  Even us or the Mermaid luring you into doom with the siren song during the Karaoke Challenge game.
When you become an agent for 120 loonies (donate time, money or things to get loony) you get a password page.  If you become compromised, you may want to give cash to a Mermaid for another password.  They have codes for secret password protected pages at their Mermaids lair.
If you have already read our marketing strategy you will understand this.  So you give cash to a Mermaid (waitstaff who knows what is going on) and they whisper in your ear.  Then you both say "This is our secret."  This will impress your co-workers at that next stuffy business meeting over lunch.

These are your search engine values.  If you don't see anything, you are not checked in and won't be found.  You should check in first, before submitting this form.
You can check in to as many locations as you want.  To be fair to your team you should only check in to actual locations that are close enough so you can show up as a live volunteer.
Sailor - Broadcast friendly.  No copyrights, logo's or mention of adult topics.  Borderline PG is not acceptable. Appropriate for education.
Landlubber - Anything acceptable in a sports bar. 
Pirate - Free speech, raw comedy, character development and experiments for plots, schemes, mutiny, rigging bets, games and carnival barking skills
Use moderation to let people know what to expect.  If you are learning, doing or teaching rescue, boating or scuba this should be sailor as drinking, smoking and cussing of landlubber or the comedy of Pirates doesn't match the activity.
