Re: Fan Fic Contest: Are you the best writer?
@Dysole @TheAverageFan @Tornado @Bro-man @Elven Lord @BiggaBullfrog @Crixus33 @SheapCreaper
We are on board, as I've mentioned here. Xotli has agreed to post on the front page for us for advertising/announcement purposes, and we can now offer titles as prizes to the winners. All that's left now is to decide a few things:

1) to award titles, including special titles, and to revoke them for unsportsmanlike behavior (such as lying about score) 2) to regulate the goings on of the contests 3) to track score 4) to, at any time, insert a side prompt (up to 3 points or a special title) which players may respond to in a space of time determined by the Grand Arbiter. The responses would be pmed to the Grand Arbiter (for the sake of space and autonomy during the regular contest), and re-posted by said Grand Arbiter at the conclusion of the special contest. Each rank should be spaced out by 3 points each, each regular victory should be worth 2 points for first place and 1 point for second place. Rank suggestions: Rank 1 Rank 2 Rank 3 Chevalier Hospitaler BaleFire Arbiter Grand Arbiter (Chosen by the previous Grand Arbiter from among the Arbiters) Special titles have little to do with rank in that even if you're a Hospitaler with the title "puppy luver" you're still lower ranking than BaleFire. 2 months is way to long. 1 month is acceptable, 3 weeks is reasonable I think. Think about it even 3 weeks is longer than we needed to turn out some amazing stuff. I'm writing my fanfic AND trying to graduate. Doing pretty well too. There's a guy in my Christian Anthropology class who is an ex-Marine and has 5 full time jobs. He's a police-men 60 hours a week, he takes 4 college level classes and he has a wife and 2 kids, and he still has time to hang out with me once in a while. You can't possibly convince me that the people here are busier than that. Well, I've said my piece. Feeling like an old lurker. 15 years, wow. That's half as long as I've lived. Love y'all like family. |

Then again, more time to perfect it would be good... though I would imagine a month should be plenty of time. That's my schedule though. Quote:
I like the idea of 3 or more though. If we're doing a prompt every two months, we might want to cut that down to 2 or more... otherwise they'll figure out they have to wait at least six months before getting a title. Quote:

As for me being in charge... as far as I know, I am in charge. I will be the one messaging Xotli with front page requests and title updates. (I cannot change titles or post to the front page. Xotli is doing that for us.) I also insert new rules as needed. I do everything with a majority vote, however, if applicable. ~TGRF. |

yeah I know, I just felt like blowing some steam by nerding hard and hoping I hit on something.

As for the front page, we could just run something up when we feel like attendance is dropping, and not go over one per two months. Maybe an additional one per year, just to keep things regular. ~TGRF. |

Re: Fan Fic Contest: Are you the best writer?
Here's the thing. 1 week is way too short because that gives leeway for, "I don't have time to think about that this week, I'll do next week". Repeat until they forget. 2 months is too long because people will similarly keep putting it off until they once again forget. 1 month still seems a little much but its workable. That way if there's a week when people are just too booked they still have 3 weeks to ruminate/write.

Monthly sounds like a great starting point.
A cloud can change its semblance, yet retain its will With the intimacy of destruction, One knows what it is to be alive The empty sky holds no reflection, for sorrow - Eslo Rudkey |
