Well-Actually War Trall Ash Lael Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 THE PEARL: You are ordered to execute someone. Who is it? Did he/she deserve it? Do you succeed? Do you even obey the order? Is this how the scenario starts, or ends, or does it happen somewhere in the middle? All these questions and more are to be answered by - YOU! To enter the Pearl Contest, you need to design a scenario that includes the above plot point. The context in which this happens is up to you. It can be a moral dilemna, a tragic event, or the impetus for something great, or something else entirely. The more central this event is to the story, and the more unique your version of this basic idea is, the better. For clarification: "Execution" here means more than just "There are some pesky goblins nearby. Kill them." but does not necessarily have to be an official noose/guillotine affair with a trial and everything. The deadline is the end of September. Judging will be done by discussion. The primary concern is the quality of the scenario, though how original the approach to the Pearl itself is and how integral it is to the story will also be a factor. Both BoE and BoA scenarios will be eligible, though they may or may not compete directly against each other. Entries are to be sent to tomwatts (at) berkeley (dot) edu. What are you waiting for? GO!

Kyshakk Koan Dallerdin with a custom moniker. Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Suggestion: make Kel's email address slightly obfuscated so it's harder for wandering spammerbots to pick up. Replace the @ with an (at) or something. Although it's probably too late by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I always write it as tomwatts (at) berkeley (dot) edu. It's probably not too late to do that now, and you probably should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Actuallly, I sugest deleting these posts coming after the first post. In these posts it explains almost completely what you should do to find the email adress of Kelandon. That's not good, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 His email address is already in his profile. It's not that he doesn't want people knowing it, it's that he doesn't want the terrible, soulless machines finding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Do we all get the chance to play all of these scenario's, or only the best one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 In general, all scenario contest entries are publicly released soon after the contest deadline has passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 The only way I'm getting back into design is if I'm not the only one doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt DesertPlah Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Oh crap, I totally forgot. Possibly because of my long absence. Well, my second scenario is far from being anything, and my last one (the Foolish Giant) is too bedtime-storylike to be edited sufficiently (and I don't know how legal that is, rule-wise), and it looks like I may be dropping out.
