#926, "Upgrade the Web Page! Step 1: Class pages:"
Edited on Tue 30-Jan-07 02:32 PM

          

The Ridiculous Time Pressure:
Let's shoot for a finished product by Monday. That means you want to get submissions in ASAP! Rar! Whip-cracking!

The purpose of the contest:
See the new "invoker" page under "Classes" in the sidebar for an example of what we'd like to see. Assume that your audience is someone who is clicking on the page to see what the "best" class is, and has no idea what your class even does. Minimize prerequisite knowledge wherever practical-- the ideal page would make sense to someone who has no idea what a MUD even is.

Discuss strengths a lot, and weaknesses a little. Ideally, your page will leave the reader excited to play your class, but at least minimally aware of what their blind spots will be. Don't actually claim a class is the "best", because not only is that useless fluff, but your reader is probably going to click on more than one class!

The Prizes:
We're trying to give the site a facelift and involve the playerbase without breaking the bank. If you want to help, but don't feel like writing material, feel free to buy one or more PBFs and earmark them as "Contest Winner's Choice!" Once we have the class pages rewritten, we'll make a decision as to who chipped in the most, and let them name PBFs they'd like published.

Standard boilerplate:
1) Carrion Fields reserves the right to clip, edit, dissect, mangle, fold, staple, merge, reject, re-word or otherwise alter entries based on user and staff feedback, in order to get the best final product possible.

2) All submissions become the property of Carrion Fields, LLC. We will credit all contributors on this forum.

3) Be respectful of the work of others. Any submissions found to be someone else's intellectual property will be rejected immediately, and the submitter possibly disqualified from future contests. Create, don't copy!
