== Event ==
The event was created as Nickster's Birthday was to celebrate. The occasion had different challenges that were presented to the community, to spark awareness, as well as engagement. Below is a timeline kept in line with the Twitter account. As such, information from the account was sorted accordingly.
=== [CHALLENGE #1] ===
“Draw your OC as an NT-themed OC (or your favorite NT Character) and use #GOFORTHEGOLDART”
On October 15th, the first challenge was dropped. The prompt was relatively simple and revolved around drawing an OC (original character), or your favorite NT Character. Alongside this, the tweet encouraged users to tag their art with #GOFORTHEGOLDART, to make it easier to find, as well as highlight the event.
=== GOFORTHEGOLDMEMEREVIEW ===
Next on April 22nd, the account would simply tweet out “#GOFORTHEGOLDMEMEREVIEW”. Though unknown as to why it was tweeted, fans simply took the opportunity to draw memes and submit them to the account. It was assumed to be used and reviewed on the livestream, but none of it was shown as the event. Later, it was stated in a tweet, that it had to be cut from the stream due to time difficulties with the schedule.
=== Poll ===
On the 24th of April, a poll was hosted to see what content the community wanted to see first. Only 3 options were provided:
-Meet the guests
-NT-xlusive content
-Challenge 2
In the end, NT-xlusive content won the majority vote, with Challenge 2 close behind. This content was submitted by different users in the community and had a specific set of guidelines (which will be shown later in the timeline).
=== GTFG Direct ===
Then, on April 27, a GFTG Direct was hosted around 6:00 EST, which showcased the NT-xlulsive content. Among these was This Object Show 5a, a teaser for the COSMOS Finale, and the Season 2 teaser for FNF: VS CREW. Any additional NT-xlulsive content was not shown at the event. Later that day, it was announced that LIVE from Kay Kingdom was pushed back to a TBA date due to unforeseen setbacks.
=== [CHALLENGE #2] ===
“Fear can send chills down one's spine, and many say that death has a cold embrace......so it's time to bundle up! For this challenge, draw your NT OC in winter gear. It can be as basic as a scarf or as complex as a parka, be creative and have fun!”November 21st marked the day that GTFG Challenge 2 was revealed to the public, which centered around dressing your NTOC in winter gear, to match the change in seasons.
=== [CHALLENGE #3] ===
“Sometimes there's an element of beauty in death, but we're just gonna focus on the former part of that!  Your NTOC is on the cover of a magazine, so make sure they look their best for the camera! You can use the template provided or make your own!”Next on December 2nd, the reveal of Challenge 3 of the #GOFORTHEGOLDART event took place. Originally for November 31st, but pushed back due to personal issues, it was themed around the covers of magazines. Users also had the option to make it themed after a comic book if wanted.
=== [CHALLENGE #4] ===
“For the final challenge, your NTOC has acquired all Kay Fruits (how they do this is your call). Design their Super Form, and for bonus points, how doomed is the world, universe, or even Multiverse??”Finally, December 12 was the day that the last (and 4th) #GOFORTHEGOLDART event was shown. This time, the theme was based on the idea of the viewer’s NTOC acquiring the chaos emeralds, and unlocking a super form. It was also stated that the super form doesn’t have to be canon to that respective NTOC’s lore, making the prompt more of a fun and hypothetical event. The event was originally planned for the week of December 5th-11th but was pushed back due to Nickster being too busy. The tweet itself was made on the 9th to announce that the date would be pushed back.
