Event Coverage:

  • Dark Passions Events strives to provide the most coverage possible. We consistently apply for coverage with Seraphim and the SL Destination Guide. We can not guarantee we will be picked up for either but we have been many times.

  • Examples of paid advertising we have used for past/present events: 

    • Seraphim sidebar

    • Teleporthub.com sidebar

    • huntsl.com sidebar

 

Event Setup & Vendor Systems:

  • Exclusives must be marked with the Exclusive Tag Provided

    • This allows customers and event coverage (ex. Seraphim) to know what is the new item to include in their guide​

  • Single prim vendors ONLY

    • Scrolling vendors are NOT accepted and will be returned.

    • Why no scrolling vendors?

      • Mainly due to Lag and because this is not an entire store sale.

  • Vendor systems such as MD or caspervend are allowed as long as the follow the no scrolling vendor rule.

    • Caspervend users MUST use the Event vendor scripts. For more information on Caspervend Event scripts check the Caspervend Wiki​

  • For pose stores the scrolling vendor rule may be over looked if you put out a demo as many have scrolling pose demos

  • No adult demos please the sim is mature not adult.

    • Solution: You may put a teleport sign up to a place where people can test your adult demo.
