Welcome to
is an RP competition that will test your ability to RP well off the cuff, so to speak. There will be no sign-up thread. There will be no discussion thread. This thread will be closed immediately upon posting. There will be no bio thread. You will simply be asked to post within an allotted time frame. And your post will be judged.
The Rules:
- First rule of
: Do not talk about
If you wish to participate, send a PM to me (CassinoChips). Do not say in the SB "Oh, I think I'll join!" Just send a PM. No one should know that you have joined. You will not know who else has joined.
- PREVIOUSLY CREATED CHARACTERS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Contestants are allowed to use characters specifically created for this competition or canon Final Fantasy characters. Approval for created characters is not necessary. You may be good or evil, neutral or involved, prince or pauper, human or otherwise.
NOTE: Be advised that if you use a canon character, how well you RP that particular character's personality will have a significant effect on your score.
Also, if using a canon character, you may want to wait to see what the setting is. However, using a character outside of his or her game is perfectly fine. For example, using Rinoa in a FFX setting.
- Once the RP starts, a posting order will be drawn from a hat. The first contestant will be notified via PM, and will be given 48 hours to create a post. The RP will placed in a setting chosen by me. If it is a setting you are unfamiliar with, you may have to do some research. You will be expected to stay true to the elements of the setting, and be aware of any deviations or changes.
- Successive contestants will be given 48 hours from the timestamp of the previous post to create new entries. The contestant who is on the bubble will be notified via PM.
- Being available is highly encouraged. The more posts we get in, the farther this competition will go, the more points you can accrue.
- One 24-hour extension will be granted, upon request, to each contestant no more than once every three rounds. IRL things happen.
- If a contestant fails to submit an entry prior to the deadline, they will receive a score of 0 for that post, and the next contestant on the list will be notified, and their 48-hour clock will start.
- NO CONTESTANT WILL POST THEIR ENTRY. All entries will be PM'd to me, and I will post them in the thread. This will make it so it is difficult to determine who posted which entry.
- Posts will be limited to a MAXIMUM of 700 words. Choose your words carefully.
- Once a "round" of entries has ended (i.e. each contestant has completed one entry), there will be a new draw to determine the posting order for the next round.
- ABSOLUTELY NO COLLUSION. Do not claim your posts or characters publicly. No one should know (save me) that you are even in the contest. You are not to work together in any fashion. Do not ask if someone is in the contest. Anyone discovered to be colluding will be DQ'ed immediately. In other words, I will write a death scene for your character. And it will not be pleasant.
- The competition will end on a pre-determined date, or when the RP has reached a logical conclusion.
- Posts will be judged based a scoring system.
+: 1-10, how well the post flowed from the previous one.
+: 1-10, how well the post flowed from the overall storyline.
+: 1-10, how well the post added to the RP overall.
+: 1-10, how grammatically sound the post is. (A typo here and there is fine, consistently being unable to read it will lose points.)
+: 1-10, how well the post is written. (imaginative, creative, gripping)
God-Modding, Powerplaying, and the like will cost you severely.
- WINNERS:
+: Best Overall Post. (Highest Point Total in a single post.)
+: Best Overall Contestant. (Highest Score in terms of points per post.)
PM any questions concerning this competition to me.
awaits you.
