Competition: Long-form roleplay
Prizes:

• 1st Place - 10,000 coins
• 2nd place - Payment to an artist of your choice for a banner, as listed here.
• An 'award banner', created by Sam (Dae), will be provided to the character who actually wins the contest.

THE SETUP
Liander has kidnapped a number of individuals and forced them into an arena, gladiatorial death-match style. The terrain and obstacles faced in the arena will not be revealed until the competition begins. For narrative purposes, I will act as the "dungeon master" if you will. The first post will explain your characters being abducted and the setting they find themselves in. After each round of posts (round = each participant has posted), I will be replying to describe things your characters encounter; obstacles, weapons, and more. After a series of predetermined rounds have passed, a character will be "eliminated." Note - your vials won't help you here, this is all RP combat.

Needless to say, god-modding and power-playing is grounds for immediate dismissal from the game.

HOW TO WIN
Posts will be judged, by myself, on a number of factors. Ingenuity in regards to provided tools and environments, interactions with other characters, level of detail, grammar, and, of course, how long your character survives. Winning IC does not guarantee you will win OOC, and vice versa. Please note prizes above.

SIGN-UPS
Will last until November 20. The competition will begin November 21. Reply below.

Oh what the hell, I'm game. First time for everything

I've been complaining I want to write so I might as well join in as well

Sounds fun, Lor's in.

I'm in.

Horribly intimidated- but count me in.

Is the competition a one day event?

No. It will take as long as it needs to properly finish, though hopefully no more than a month.

Man, I really want to try this, but I just don't think I have the guts or the level of commitment needed for it, so I wanna say gl and have fun to those of you that are joining in on it! Looking forward to seeing what happens.

Darn! I will be on a trip from the day before Thanksgiving until the middle of December. But good luck to the participants, I'm excited to read the entries!
