Completed Challenges = Ripple Points

September 11, 2008

When you complete Challenges, you earn Ripple Points. Attending PeopleRipple Events also scores major Ripple Points. The points are a fun way of keeping track of your progressive impact.
Your Lifetime Ripple Points will continue to accumulate for the lifetime of your account. It will never decrease.
Don’t bother trying to figure out just how the point system works. It’s not as straight forward as it may seem. There is a SECRET FORMULA which we will never reveal — unless you attend a PeopleRipple Event, meet one of the PR Team Members, and ask. Your best chances are probably Amanda and Tom.

  • Amanda can be bribed with pastry.
  • Tom loosens up after a boxing match on Wii.

We have Team meetings just to come up with nifty ideas to reward you for the points you’re accumulating. Of course, that’s Super Top Secret, too. Let’s just say that there will be some cool features that will be automatically unlocked when you hit certain Ripple Point levels. And let’s just also say that there’ll be other rewards you’ll really enjoy. You’ll never know when… You won’t know what… But you’ll know when it happens!

Of course, the real reward – without getting too mushy – is in knowing you’re making a positive personal, social and global impact. The rewards you get from us is just the icing on the cake!
We operate on the Honor System. We trust you. Don’t cheat yourself. The prizes and awards you will get for points you earn don’t compare to the actual benefits gained by You, Others and the World. And because Ripple Points have real rewards attached to them, we reserve the right to audit anyone’s points to ensure fairness.


Doing Challenges = Rippling

September 11, 2008

Challenges are simple actions anyone can perform. But don’t let their simplicity fool you. These small, fun activities will Ripple to have a bigger personal, social and global impact.
Skeptical?…

Just try it. Do the Challenges. And we guarantee you will experience a positive difference in your life, in your relationship with others, and in the world.
Challenges are divided among three main Ripple Groups: YOU, OTHERS, WORLD. Because everything is connected, what you do in one aspect of your life impacts the others. What You do to become a better person (You Ripples), affects your relationships with Others (Others Ripples), and ultimately makes the World a better place (World Ripples). It’s all connected.

Do as many Challenges as you find interesting. Definitely do the ones that you think will be fun. And if you really want to have the best experience, do the Challenges that get you out of your comfort zone.

There will be new Challenges every week! It’s all part of our commitment to keeping the PeopleRipple experience fresh and fun while making a meaningful difference. So, be sure to check back into PeopleRipple.com regularly.

Challenges will be updated every Wednesday. Please make sure you check back into PeopleRipple.com for new Challenges on Wednesdays to have the maximum time to complete them.

IMPORTANT: Please log your Challenge Participation BEFORE Wednesday 9am EST. Once the Challenges change, you will lose the ability to log your participation and earn Ripple Points for those Challenges.

There will be long-running Challenges that will be around for months. Most Challenges, however, will be active for only a week or for a few weeks. Past Challenges will be archived so members can access them.

The Challenges are starter sparks that hopefully get you fired up to pursue more and learn more. You’re going to find that achieving small successes fuels momentum that will lead to bigger success. So, if you get inspired and want to take a Challenge to the next level, then go for it!

Safety First:

1. Use common sense. DO NOT perform a Challenge in a way that will harm you or others.

2. If you have or suspect you have a condition that may become exacerbated (made worse) by performing a Challenge, then refrain from doing that challenge. Before you exert yourself physically – significantly more than you normally do – consult your physician.
