lol I took 24 hours out from DG ( to get some sleep ) lol
and much to my horror and dismay, I realised that running a general knowledge contest, is not such a brillant idea
the reasons are simple, DG is based around player interaction, and talking and running that kind of contest would create a one sided contest, and also create a situation where it goes against the reason for having mentors and the wisdom of players that share their knowledge in valorn
but i wanna celebrate a few things in valorn that i and others have achieved lol, and i am curious about my fellow valornians, lol
so, lol instead of a general knowledge contest, I am instead gonna pay people to share their stories with us...in game
how does 100 plat per story, shared with people in the dundee inn, sound instead
I love rp'ing and love seeing how others RP, so this is the perfect chance to have both interests covered
and this way it doesn't unbalance valorn in any way
and as a bonus, lol I have a cory imprinted shield to give away to the one story that is judged by my fellow valornians, as the best story to be told
( i am exempt from judging and my opinion and reactions do not count towards the final story, judged as the best rping )
simply, I will start a thread about 5 days before the contest ( i will be away for a week OOC.... thor is going to explore all of valorn IC )
and will pay 100 plat to each person that shares their char story in the inn,
with the best rp'ed story winning the shield as chosen by their fellow valornians
