RE: March Contest: (Reply to this post to enter)
I apologize for this being late. For a while, I was waiting for the forums to be unbroked. The last week, I've just been occupied with other things.
Fortunately, I have a backlog of contest ideas available, and a few are short, like this one- all submissions due by midnight, March 31.
The rules:
1) Design an object or service that could be sold somewhere on the MUD. Don't worry about where it's sold, cost, or statistics. It doesn't have to be material- for example, paying a bard for a bardsong, etc. I can't go adding things willy-nilly anyway, and we'll choose the statistics according to our usual guidelines. Focus on why people would want this service.
2) Judging will primarily be on originality. This means that an item or service which is similar to something existing either here or on another MUD is unlikely to be chosen. (No bardsong salesman.) Shokai and Arvam have agreed to help me here.
3) I'll do whatever is possible to implement one entry, and possibly more if several top-notch entries appear.
4) Think small. This is something I'll probably be taking on as a side project. If someone posts "Ooh! A ranged weapons and flying mounts shop!", I'm just not going to do that.
5) If the forums blow up again, I'll be over there sulking.
6) Current Immortals aren't eligible. You people already have plenty of ways to get your ideas in. :P Shoo, Nepenthe's brain! Shoo!
7) Standard disclaimer: All entries become the property of Carrion Fields. We reserve the right to fold, staple, mangle, or otherwise deform the idea to get it into a workable form, though every effort will be made to remain true to the original idea's intent.
