-<h3><u>Contributions </u></h3>
+</p>
+<b><u> JSON Contributions </u></b>
 <p>
-Our project was reopened as open source in June of 2021 and will forever stay this way. If you are a contributor there are a few guidelines you need to follow in 
+  If you are wanting to contribute the smaller easy but yet super imporant stuff look no further than the Json side. What can you 
-order to make sure that you are not doing all of this working for nothing.
+  contribute through Json you may ask? There are examines, npc stats, npc drops, item drops, and even item spawns you can fill out. 
-<br>
+  Check out our Thanos Tool in order to get started. It's a fill-in-the-blank tool that does just that. Make sure that the Information
-<br>
+  is authentic to the 2009 era. 
- <b><u>Pull Requests</u></b>
+  <br>
-<br>
+  <br>
-<br>
+  Click on the <a href="https://gitlab.com/2009scape/tools/rs09-thanos-tool">Thanos Tool</a> to be redirected to the Gitlab page.
-Developers are expected to make all changes in their own forks/branches and create a pull request to the main repository with their contributions. If you do not know what these are or how to do them, look at the gitlab documentation. 
+
-<br>
-<br>
-<b><u>Staying up to Date</u></b>
-<br>
-<br>
-Developers are expected to have their forks/branches fully up to date before submitting pull requests in order to avoid merge conflicts. 
-<br>
-<br>
-<b><u>Server Playerscripts</u></b>
-<br>
-<br>
-New bot scripts must undergo a thorough review before being allowed into the game. The criteria for an acceptable botscript are as follows: 
-<br>
-<ul>
-  <li>The script should not enable the automated farming of any high level items, materials or resources.</li>
-  <li>The script should be designed to automate some boring task or grind</li>
-  <li>The script should not offer active advantages to other players other than offering for sale low level resources on the grand exchange.</li>
-</ul>
-<br>
-<br>
-<b><u>Credits for Contributors</u></b>
-<br>
-<br>
-When an issue is created on our Gitlab page's issue tracker, a staff member will assign a certain number of credits they believe it to be worth. Should the issue be fixed by a contributor and fully merged into the codebase, the person who reported the issue will receive a credit, and the person who fixed the issue will receive the full amount of credits listed for the issue. Only in very rare circumstances will a contribution that doesn't address a listed issue result in a credit reward, as a staff member did not have adequate time to assign that issue a credit value. 
-<br>
-<br>
-Should an issue be fixed by the same person who reported it, they will receive the listed credit amount plus the bonus credit for the initial report. This is just to keep things simple. 
-<br>
-<br>
-The main thing a player or contributor should take away from this is that reporting bugs the proper way is very important, and focusing on already-reported bugs when decided what to fix is equally important. 
-<br>
-<br>
-Contributions for new content, like adding a new quest or minigame, or adding some other piece of content that was plainly missing/never implemented, will function differently and will receive a credit reward based on a careful evaluation of the time and effort as well as the quality of the contribution. A small and very well written quest might have a very worthwhile reward, while a large and poorly written quest might give substantially less credits than one might expect. Quality is better than quantity here. 
-<br>

 <b><u> Quest Dialogue </u></b>
 <p>
-  Similar to the JSON contributions this is the next way you can help without needing to know how to program. There are several 
+  The 2008/2009 era of RS was a long while ago; however, some youtubers will have quite a bit of video guides in which you are to pull dialogue from.

+  You can use OSRS as a last alternative if not found elsewhere for secondary options. I must advise against using it as your first choice as OSRS has 
-  number one preferred way since it keeps it the most accurate to 2009. You can use OSRS as a reference but please be careful doing 
+  quite a bit of undocumented changes.  We know that writing dialogue is tedious and for this the reward is 10 credits per dialogue file written. 
-  this incase OSRS has changed something and didn't document it well. By doing this you are speeding up the developer's time by

-  getting all the dialogue together and will be rewarded with 10 credits.

+<b><u>Testing Content</u></b>
+<p>
+  With our new test server, we are able to test content on a server to make sure bugs do not enter the realm of the live server. We 
+  can but do not want to do this alone and would love the help! But don't worry, there is something in it for you. Credits! Keep 
+  in mind that credits will only be awarded to people who thoroughly test the content and provide detailed reports on them. Like 
+  votes or HoF you must claim them inside of the #claim-to-fame channel on discord or matrix.
+  <br>
+  <br>
+  If you test smaller things like bug fixes there is a 2 credit reward. <br>
+  If you test full quests or minigames you will be rewarded 5 credits. <br> 
+   If you find a bug in the content you are testing that hasn't already been found you will earn 
+  an extra credit. <br> 
+  <br> Super Easy! Get to testing!

 <b><u> Events </u></b>
 <p>
-    In 2009 a lot of us played the game because it was a fun game that we could come home to and play with our friends. The game had just 
+  To keep Community events alive we spark it up with some credits for attending. If you attend the event and participate you get a total of 2 points even 
-    as much a social aspect as it did a grind aspect. 
+  if you lose! Kermit, our event manager, gets to give out more credits to the winners of an official event. Once a week a player is able to make an 
-    <br/>
+  unofficial event and get 5 credits for hosting their own. It must be approved in order to get credits.  
-    Official Server events that are hosted by <b style="color: darkgreen">Kermit</b>,
-    will come with a reward of credits as well. If you attend one of the server events you will get 5 credits for participation to be motivation 
-    to set the grind aside to come have some fun. 
-    <br/>
-    Player Hosted Offical Events : Can vary from house parties, to bossing events, etc. To bring more people together instead of being 
-    a constant player 1 skills on this side of the map and player 2 skills on that side of the map we want to encourage you to create your own events. 
-    Do note to take these serious because all events will be filtered/needing approval from our Frog. 
-    It is five credits per player for attending said events and it is 2 credits per person that shows up for the person hosting the event on top of
-    your participation. Player hosted will be announced offically once but it's up to the player to fully plan out the event.
