Do you believe in Karma? Have you ever had a bad day and it makes you want to do something nice for someone else? What if something good happened to you and you want to pass it along to someone else?

An RAOK is something someone wants to give you with no strings attached. Because this is a coupon board, coupons are usually the things given away. However, it can be other things like Pamper Points, Free Music Downloads or Movie Tickets.

When giving away an RAOK you should post what the RAOK is. You can say a potluck of coupons, wine tags movie tickets or expired coupons.

There are many ways to give away an RAOK -- here are a few:

*First Come First Serve - This is the easiest way. Simply state what you are wishing to give away and the first one that PM's you with their NAZ, gets it.

*Guessing Games - You can have people guess what your favorite color is, what kind of dog you have or what the name of your dog is. These can be lots of fun because people can research past posts you have made and try to figure out the answer.

*Trivial Pursuit - Make it a trivia RAOK. Have people answer questions like what years did Welcome Back Cotter air, who signed the Declaration of Independence or what was Mouths' real name in the Goonies?

*Need Help - Are you looking to do something particular, or need help finding something? You can post an RAOK for the person that helps you find what you are looking for.

*Beat The Clock - Whoever posts to this thread by a set amount of time will receive an RAOK.

Or you can make up your own RAOK.

Whatever RAOK style you choose to do, make sure you put your user name on the envie so they will know who sent it. If you win or receive an RAOK send a quick PM to the sender or leave them feedback thanking them.
