Ok as Christmas is comming soon (or whatever seasonal holiday you celebrate)
I have decided to run a competition.
The best Character Summary on the Archive will win $i50,000,000 on Syntax
Characters can be on any server.
And you can post more than one Character Summary.
To keep things easy and fair it will just be the Summary page itself that is judged.
I and maybe one or two of my close friends will be doing the judgeing and anyone who is part of deciding will not be eligable to compete.
For more details about Character summaries please read the post on the DATA ARCHIVE or join the IRC server at irc://data.doesntexist.com
Closing date for submissions will be December 25th. I will then review each Summary in the Archive to pick a winner.
In the event of a Tie there will be a tiebreaker question of:
Who is your favourite Character (NPC, LE or Player) and WHY?
If you need help writing a summary try posting in the public section of the Data Archive for help and ideas.
I will be looking for things such as:
Use of language,
Using a wide vocabulary to describe things without repeating yourself is an advantageous trait
Creativity
Anyone can choose to copy the all to often seen kung-fu master that got too good, or lone hacker in a dark room stories. it takes creativity to come up with something unique instead or at least to change it into something more than its base
Accuracy to the "official" story
by this i do not mean it has to have precedence in an official story plot, i just mean that it doesn't go against something that the official story has said. if you are smart how you describe things its easy to work around things like that.
