Halo

A halo is a token of appreciation given to Wrimos who donate to the Office of Letters and Light. It appear next to the username of the charitable Wrimo and on the Wrimo's profile.

The origins of the halo are unknown, but are believed to have been introduced in either 2004 or 2005. At the time only people who donated directly through the store could receive halos. Now Wrimos who get sponsored or raise the full amount for the Night of Writing Dangerously can also receive halos.

When donating, Wrimos can choose whether they wish to receive a halo. This is a separate option from choosing the other donor goodies, so Wrimos who don't want the rest of the donor goodies can still receive a halo.

The halo appears with the Wrimo's username both in the "created" and "last post" columns of a forum and beside the post itself, as shown.

The Script Frenzy equivalent of the halo is the golden ticket. It was introduced in 2007 with Script Frenzy and works the same way as the halo.
