Sleuth Home - Message Boards - Role Playing Stage

Feb-26-2009 04:23

Ladies and gentlemen! I am proud to present to you a rebranded contest!

This contest will reward you for benefiting the role-playing stage. How is that going to happen, you may ask? Well, let me tell you! First, be active in posting. Second, post with good grammar. Finally, post an interesting storyline.

In the middle of each month (first time at Mar-15-2009), a one-month gift subscription to Sleuth Noir will be rewarded to the player that has contributed the most. The winner will be decided by the votes of six judges: Brietkat, David Adams, Makensie Brewer, Violet Parr, Clift Garrett and Acemaster. (Special thanks to Violet Parr for judge suggestions in November-2008!) Votes must be accepted by the contestant for the contestant to be able to win.

Each week, each of the judges will pick the one player whom they think have benefited the stage the most that week. At the 15.th in the month, the votes will be counted, revealing a winner.

The judges will send their picks to a detective named "Gossip Center", who will also display current standings for each week. Check in to see how you are doing! ;-)

There are some limitations, though. What is a contest without rules, right? ;-)

*Neither the judges nor judges second characters can be voted for.
......(This also includes me, as I am taking care of finances.)
*If you have won, you cannot win again until three more characters have won.
*If you have not won before, you will automatically receive 3 votes as a bonus.

We can't check every detail, but we hope to have an honor system. For instance, if you have won, please tell us you second characters to make it fair for other characters. If someone is caught "cheating", a proper penalty will be placed.

Only winners will loose their "current vote score", so if you don't win, you don't loose everything.

There is still at least 11 winners to find. Go for it!

*Closes the window for Bane, and sets Missy loose on the bats.* The attic is soon filled up with pounced-on dead bats, a contented, but exhausted tiger, and a still shivering Bane....

*Lookes at the big cat and smiles at the thought of the cash he could get for it from the circus. Runs dow to the local newspaper headquarters and places an add under the employment offers section:*

'Hiring beastmaster for pet control. Providing tranquilizers with pleasure. Hiring also pet trainer.'

Gossip Center is a little confused, but guess that the previous posting of Joey "Bulldog" Bane, means that he don't want to be in the contest.
Therefore removes his name - now that the rules are changed to allow this.

Damn! I spell my cofee all over my pants! Finally! I have seen a miracle happen! I'm speechless...

Has the list of contestants been updated yet? I'm still a bit confused as to how this is working...

*bafflement and shrug*

I'll go do it now...
- unfortunately the game have become less and less a part of me, so I guess this contest is the only thing that draws me back occasionally...

There is actually very few votes that come in as well, so I sometimes wonder if the contest is able to survive the whole year... ;-)

No new votes recieved.

It seems like Joseph Zeo will be the winner of the next subscription, but, as we have had so much arguing about being removed, and not respected, I will wait until there is an acceptance of the prize on this message board.

Due to very few votes in total, I have decided to award Abdur Rahman Ahmad as well, also given that he does accept so, and actually end this whole contest in the following way:

I have committed to give out 12 prizes. 1 is already handed out. 2 more candidates are given and might get their prize. The rest of the prizes will be rewarded the following way:

Those who want to be a candidate must make a posting here telling so, and their post history must show that they have posted on the stage in the period between Feb-1-2009 up to 7 days before they post. With many candidates I will count the number of posts. With few candidates, I will lengthen the period until all the prizes have been handed out - but the period will not be extended longer than Mar-31-2009. (Oh, and posting in this thread will not count for having posted on the stage)

Whooohooo! You can count me in but please rule Abdur Rahman Ahmad out as he has received his subscription and is about to fall from the old 'London Bridge' and he would never take a prize in such situation.
(Chuckles! Wonders if he gets a sub and can travel to London to save his friend)
In short, I am in and he is out.
Thanks
Looking forward for the prizes.
(The above post is just some sense of humor, so don't take it seriously)
