One of Gleam's activity falls under the monthly interactive section; which is the Magazine. This interactive is a little bit similar with the Upcoming Vote; but instead of voting for a new deck to be released, members will vote for the hottest bishounen to be featured in the upcoming month's Magazine merchandise. When members of Gleam TCG votes for the upcoming month's bishounen, whether their chosen candidate was picked or not, they will receive 2 random cards, 5 lollipops (of any flavor), plus 1 charm point.
However, simply voting for the hottest bishounen is not the only activity that members can participate on. Once a candidate has been picked or voted for the upcoming month's magazine feature, this is where the competition begins. Any members can participate in writing an article about the chosen candidate—and you can choose not to participate if your candidate wasn't picked. This said article doesn't have to be a huge wall of paragraphs, a minimum of 100-200 words is enough with 300-400 as maximum. When you participate by sending in an article about the chosen candidate, you will receive an additional 2 random cards, 2 kinds of lollipops (x5 for each), plus 3 charm points.
For this activity to work out smoothly, members are given at least two weeks to compose an article. This will be done a month before the release of the month's volume (e.g. if the volume release is on July, then this activity should take place for the entire month of June). Please refer to the breakdown of this activity below:
Timeframe | Activity | Mechanics |
First day of the month | Candidate reveal | Staffs will reveal the three bishounens to be voted alongside the new volume release (if there's any). |
2nd-6th day of the month | Candidate voting | Members will have five days to vote for the candidate they wished to be featured for the upcoming month's magazine from the three candidates revealed by the staffs. This is done by poll voting. |
7th-21st day of the month | Article writing | Members who wish to participate are given 15 days to write an article about the voted candidate. |
22nd-26th day of the month | Magazine feature creation | Staffs have this time frame to choose which article to feature for the upcoming month's magazine. |
27th-remaining days of the month | Choosing of candidates | Staffs will pick three bishounens to reveal for the members to vote for the next volume release. Or members can suggest candidates to vote for. |
First day of the following month | Volume release | The magazine will be available for the members to see along with the chosen article. |
Once your written article is chosen for the magazine's volume, you will receive another 3 random cards, 1 choice card from any regular decks, 3 kinds of lollipops (x5 for each), plus 5 charm points. So for this activity, you will be given at least two sets of rewards by simply voting for a bishounen and participating by writing an article—and another set of reward if your article is chosen, plus a free copy of the released volume!
