Well essentially I didn't keep many 'notes' perse on each individual entrant. I grade on a really loose scale of
Below Average..Average...Above Average..and Exceptional.
Weed out some entries, then sort of start the process again by going back over and deciding who stands out.
What I can give you is general Role Contest Winning Strategies for the future. Keep in mind that this is me talking and not the other immortals but I would HOPE that all in all we are looking for generally similiar qualities.
First off, Creativity. Updates are fine...Got Squire..I'm Happy. Talked to my God...it made me feel good. That's all fine and good but I want to picture the moment in my mind.
You have to paint the picture with words and in my opinion the one or two paragraph brief recount of an interaction with the god and how it made the character feel just lacks in creativity. Most of the Above Average and Exceptional Roles create a whole scene with great imagery and storytelling based around that one moment in the characters life.
If I start looking at your role, and you have 20 chapters all about a paragraph long just about snippets of the development of your character. That's a great informative role for the immortals to learn about your character at a glance. IMHO it's not a role contest winning role.
I actually graded a couple roles that had only 3 or 4 chapters in the entire life of the character but all were excellent stories, great reads, superb imagery. I always like when they tie in the geography and history of CF into their stories. Obviously you are citizens of Thera...this is YOUR history, and YOUR world. Your formative years should encompass some part of that world.
I guess I started this post thinking I would come up with many pieces of advice but I'd really like the other immortals to say what they like as well. And really for me..its about simple, straightforward storytelling. Creativity, imagery, etc.
Thanks again all for entering and keep up the great work.

I don't believe posting what they've won before their dead is right. If I was given something extra like SUPER AWESOME DOUBLE BASH SKILL....I wouldn't want to wear a sign stating this fact.
I'd rather you find out when my SUPER AWESOME DOUBLE BASH SKILL takes you by surprise.
If you are 'friendly' with these characters you can ask them in game...or get the info from them when they die.

If you were #5-10 you got enough edge pts for a decent edge.
***edited to take out the # of edge pts since it doesn't mean anything to the player base - RB

That there's far fewer poems...perhaps when I'm less busy with work, I'll get to "note spam" you again.
