#47813, "This months role contest... Clarification?"
|
Ladies & Gents,
Can one please clarify if I am reading the role contest correctly? It seems that the role contest wants you to put in how you are "forging/shaping" the world.
Am I reading too much into this and thinking that it seems more like more of a create a character contest than a judgement of someone's role?

This is the second note which can basically be seen as a call to roll a specific kind of character.
#### EVERYTHING about that.

Haphellna's call for a felar shapeshifter is my main grievance. The fact that they were given something in the first place that might motivate them to write that note is disturbing. However, what gets me is that they're offering a free induction on a first come first serve basis. To a cabal with extremely limited membership.
If the Imms want to push people to play certain kinds of roles, I'm cool with that I guess. I just don't want to see limited cabal spaces given to the first person who can level to a specified point.
If this is something that is going to happen more and more, can we limit it to the cabals that openly induct and need the pledges?
Can I paste the text of the note here? It was sent to All, but I'm not quite sure what the protocol on IC notes on the forums.

I also understand that I watched a half dozen felar shapeshifters on WHO NEWBIE after the note was posted.
Maybe they don't understand what they're getting into.

It read as an ooc "if you roll a felar shifter I'll induct you because I need a felar shifter". Really horrible even if the plan is to immediately kill or uninduct.
Not sure how it is better than a felar posting "I can't see camo or hidden and I want to use pack sense so free inducts to the first felar ranger and assassin or thief".

I think you are reading too much into this. The imms take turns holding role contests. Each imm can and does put different criteria on what types of roles will be judged favorably. In this case, Thror is looking for something specific in the roles he reads.
When I'm slated to run my contest next August, I'll give you a heads-up that your ten role chapter backstory, no matter how well-written, is probably not going to win. I prefer roles to be clear and concise.
If that doesn't suit your writing style, then you've got another chance the following month with an imm who looks favorably on reading novellas.

I interpret that as him just giving the role contest announcement some
Thror-esque flair. But then again, what do I know? I'm just some guy...
Edited to add.
Justsomeguy is a registered user... How embarrassing, tee hee.
