Oh, how exciting is that??

Well, reason why I announce this contest is because of my work with the site "playsleuth2.com". I do hope to introduce some additional stuff there, but I need help with writing. - so the "prize" if any will be to see your artwork used.

Now, what I have in mind to create are some AI-item drains. - probably as a part of some new quests or "treasure hunts" that are meant for you to do in the future.

There are certain requirements I will need for you to fulfill, in order for me to be able to use your texts. Let me try to illustrate this with an example - to help you understand what is needed.

What my example cannot cover are the part I need you to do, it is making some entertaining descriptions and reasons, and making some kind of sense of the whole stuff. An improvement of my example will also count as an entry.

Since I am after your creativity, there are no limits to entries you may make, and there are neiter a restrictions to how many "winners" the contest may get :-)

One thing I forgot, that I also will need are...
There is a limit as to how many Pearl Handled Dirks that are needed during one day...
- so when Mr. Dag Throw accepts you one too many Dirks, he will tell you that he is thankful, but that the Dirk is not needed today, and therefore will not count towards your aim...

- this is to reduce the unfairness of someone doing too many cases, compared to the more casual players....

This too will need a description.

I had a question about what amounts I have in mind.
I think this will be dependent on if the "drain" will be used for a single-player thing, or for some kind of team or agency cooperation thing. If it's a single player thing, I guess one or two a day will be a useful max, as we don't want to make what was meant to be a game, like it is a job, where just spending too much time will make you the winner.
If it's a team cooperation thing, may be 4-6 a day will be right, I am not sure. My idea are that the amount are to be the average result you get if each team/agency member are doing 8 AI cases a day.
The total amount of items needed for "mr. Dag Throw" to be satisfied will in my opinion be something between 8-12 if it's a single player thing, and may be 12-20 if it's a team/agency thing.

(I am trying to use the term team here, as I would like to enable people to mingle across agencies, as well as make some hunts availiable to unsubbed people on teams with subbed people, and have the ability to set a limit to number of team members on something less than a full big agency. May be 6 members in a team?

More spam from me...
When a small vein of creativity was opened in my mind, I realize that I probably can offer a prize that may be interesting for you.
Unless the Sleuth Gods decide this is a bad idea, I can, for each good entry, up to a limit of at least 5, offer either a one month gift sub, or if you prefer to send me a "coupon code" and the name and temporary password of a sleuth you have newly created, I can log in to that sleuth, and sub using "your prize" and "your coupon code" - and tell you when it's done.

It's not that I didn't want to give you anything for your efforts, but my first thought, of giving you one, of the item you had writtem about would just be a lot of fuzz. - and, ordinary gift subs... - have seem previously to be less tempting. - but, if possible to get a sidekick, I thought that might be interesting? (Of course on condition no Sleuth God decides this will be against the rules).

If you want to, I, your humble detective, will be your reward for the first one willing to make an entry in this contest.

I am, of obvious reasons not subscribed yet, as the plan is for you to send me a coupon code, and you will get me as a subscribed (using the code) reward, with my current password. Then you may do whatever you like with me.
