***NOTE: This is much earlier than previous contests at 1pm server time in an attempt to see if a different crowd is able to attend, and because I won't be so sleepy, so make note of this!***

Get your fingers, voices, and ears warmed up for the next Short Story Contest!

All who are interested are welcomed to attend the Short Story Competition on
the 10th of June at 1pm as the Gods tell time at Lady Ishuli's Library.
Please notice that this next contest is several hours earlier than the past
competitions. All are welcome to attend and listen to the stories but spots
for competing are limited so get the title of your story to Saeorad to
early if you want to compete to confirm you spot! Lady Ishuli has again
graciously accepted the role of benefactor of this competition and will
provide the rewards for those who win.

Basic Rules:
1. Any topic or format, such as poems or parables, is allowed but it
must be between 8 and 30 lines in length and you must be able to recite it in
five minutes time, so please be prepared prior. Also, please keep in mind
that presentation helps as much as content so don't go too slow or too fast
in your recitation and feel free to use props or movement as aids.

2. All attendees will vote for their first, second, and third favorite stories
at the end. To keep things fair and interesting participants cannot vote for
themselves, however. You do not need to be a participant to vote, though you
will need to be present for all stories so get there early!

3. You can ask someone to be your proxy and tell your story for you if you
cannot make it, however those present will take priority in the case of too
many entries and those who proxy cannot tell their own story.

The entire contest will take approximately one hour. At the end, all in
attendance will have until another half hour has passed to make known their
votes to Saeorad. After the votes are tallied the winners, up to three
depending on the turn-out, will be announced and rewarded by Lady Ishuli
at Her pleasure.

For any further inquiries or specific rules please contact Saeorad.

I look forward to hearing the truths each of your stories will bring!

Thanks to everyone else who participated and attended and to Lady Ishuli for
being our benefactor! I look forward to seeing new amazing stories at the
next contest so get writing all your beautiful creatures!

Seems like the "time" command in game reports Mountain Time as ahead by one hour.

Basically, the server time is what I go off of. It looks like it is off, maybe because of daylight savings time, so hopefully this list helps!
