About a year ago we had a writing contest. This time, the contest is going to be a bit different. This will be a contest to design a No-Prize for the site.
Eligibility:
All players with at least one accepted character are eligible to participate in the No-Prize Contest. Admin/Mods will not be in the running. Players may submit up to TEN ideas for No-Prizes. In order to be eligible, the No-Prizes must:
1. be posted HERE by 10 pm CST on June 24, 2019.
2. include the following information: a) the name of the No-Prize, b) a description of the desired icon (something like "Wolverine's claws" is enough), and c) how it is earned.
3. must be for something objective/quantifiable. "Write an awesome fight scene" wouldn't work; "Defeat an enemy who can lift at least 30 tons." would.
4. must be for something reasonably attainable. It may be difficult.
If you wish to submit a secret No-Prize, tag it as a secret no-prize and then PM Martyr with its trigger.
Existing No-Prizes are generally meant to encourage either positive player behavior or the use of comic book conventions. Although the existing No-Prizes are categorized, do not feel compelled to fit your No-Prize into one of the existing categories.
The Stakes:
FIRST PLACE PRIZE 100 bonus posts to your counter, a gold medal No-Prize, your No-Prize added to the list.
SECOND PLACE PRIZE 50 bonus posts to your counter, a silver medal No-Prize, your No-Prize added to the list.
THIRD PLACE PRIZE 25 bonus posts to your counter, a silver medal No-Prize, your No-Prize added to the list.
Anyone who submits a No-Prize gets a silver medal No-Prize and 5 bonus posts to your counter. Additionally, we aren't just taking the top three (although they are the ones who get the biggest awards). Any submitted No-Prizes that pique our interest will be added to the list.
The Voting:
After the contest is closed, the staff will vote on their favorite ones.
