Black Six Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 RPG Forum Text-Based RPG Contest 22There'll be a theme next time, but not now. Just design an awesome RPG for others to enjoy.Here's how these contests work:[*]The contest will be run every three (3) months, or four (4) times a year.[*]All members are welcome to enter the contest......-Each member can only enter one (1) Text-based RPG entry......-The only exception to this is that BZPRPG and RPG Contest staff will not be permitted to make entries.[*]There will be three winners selected in every contest......-The winners will be the three RPGs with the most votes after one or more rounds of voting (depending on the number of entries).[*]Whether or not a given RPG wins or not, it will be allowed to run in future contests, with the below conditions and restrictions......-For and RPG that lost a contest, the creator must make an attempt to alter and improve their entry before entering it in the next contest......-If an RPG has won four (4) consecutive contests that it has entered, it can not enter the next four contests. It does not, however, have to be altered before being entered again after its break, although the creator can do so if they desire to........Example: A RPG wins two contests in a row. It is not entered in the next contest. It is entered and wins the fourth and fifth contests. At this point it cannot be entered into the next four contests. .....-Other restrictions as a result of other rules or administrative action may prevent a member from submitting an RPG.[*]At the end of the three-month interval between contests, if an active RPG does not win again, it will be closed......-If a former winner wins again at a later date, the creator of the RPG can choose to continue in the old topic where they left off or start over again in a new topic.[*]If the creator or members of a winning RPG break the RPG forum rules, that RPG will be closed......-The next runner-up from the previous contest will be allowed to run for the remainder of the term......-The offending RPG will not be allowed to participate in the next contest.[*]Each of the three winning RPG entries will receive a prize. This will likely be a single canister set each. If your RPG has multiple authors, you will have to decide amongst yourselves who receives it.[*]This system is designed to be more fair than the TBRPG approval process has been in the past, so absolutely no complaining.TBRPG EntriesThe following is what determines a Text-Based RPG entry. The creator of each entry must provide at least:[*]A brief introduction to the RPG......-A description of the setting, the time and place the events occur......-A history of what has happened leading up to the current situation......-The characters and creatures involved. Does this take place in the canonical Bionicle Universe, or is this your own island with its own heroes and villains?[*]A description on how you plan to further to story......-Does it follow the actual Bionicle story or take place in a setting of your own creation?.....-Is there an outline on where you plan for it go?.....-Will the players be allowed to choose the direction the story takes?.....-Is there an ultimate goal or quest, or is it merely a world for members to inhabit?[*]Requirements for those wishing to participate in your RPG......-Will members be taking the role of existing characters or characters you have created?.....-Can they make their own characters? If so, what sort of restrictions will be placed on them?.....-What sort of equipment, masks, stats, etc will members get when they begin?[*]Rules determining how players will interact with the environment and other characters......-How will the winner of battles be determined?.....-How will members buy and upgrade their equipment?.....-Will members level up? How will they gain experience?The above information can be submitted however the creator prefers. It does not have to be delineated in this way, as long as it is all there.Contest ProceduresHow the contest is going to be run. Here is the format the contest will operate under:[*]Members will have three weeks to draft and submit entries......-Entries will be posted in the Contest Submission thread. Any entries posted elsewhere or PMed will be disregarded. .....-At the end of this period, no further entries will be accepted.[*]The entries will be grouped into as few polls as possible for the initial round of voting.[*]Each round of voting will last for two to three days (48-72 hours).[*]The format of subsequent rounds of voting will be determined depending on the number of entries.[*]The three entries with the most votes in the final round of voting will be declared the winners.Any questions can be posted in the Contest Rules Thread or PMed to Contest Host Black Six or Contest Assistants Sisen and Friar Tuck.NOTE- All current TBRPGs must be submitted as entries if they wish to continue running.Entries can be SUBMITTED from now until 11:59 PM EST on Wednesday, December 21st.You can review other entries and discuss the reviews in the Review Topic.Please Note: You can now discuss reviews in the review topic in order to keep the main topic less cluttered.

Skarloth Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hm... I have an RPG idea in mind, but sadly, it has no real story to it. It's mostly just fighting, over and over and over.Then again... I could revise it, rename it, and give it more of a story to follow.-Skar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Should I put up my RPG....Well, I guess the big question is "What is the word limit of a post on the new forum?"I only have a few more paragraphs to write on Elementum-Nui 2, which is at least five times better than the first one, but if the Captain enters that leaves only one spot (Island of Pain is getting the second one). And Day Run will easily secure more votes.Ah shucks, I don't stand a chance. >_<I can hope. And so can you, ToDD.-Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the final decision will be made in a couple of weeks, once I get an idea of whether or not we'll actually be able to finish before Day Run's run time ends.Also, I'm glad to see you have so much confidence in my RPG, Levacius...

Parugi Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 You mean the never-before-mentioned Twilight Run, in which the world has been overrun by glittering VampToa and flamboyant WereSkakdi, caught in a war against each other that only one Toa Bailaswon can end through participation in a massive tournament of massive massiveness and romance?No, that won't come for at least another year. I'm planning on entering it in the next winter contest, where it will win on December 21st and become the first RPG to be posted despite overwhelming negativity toward it.

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It's official - I'm entering Elementum-Nui 2, just to see what people think I need to fix (besides size).Finished up with the last few descriptions, checked over stuff. Still might be a few typos, but it should be pretty clean (not than anybodies read my posts top to bottom in these contests). It's about the the same size as last one, with a few more locations, albeit less overtly detailed to leave room for players to imagine, with names given to regions. Factions were better and more shortly detailed, with less silly regulations in place.All in all, I like it. Just wonder if everyone else will.Though looking at the others above, that seems unlikely. -Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little did I think that was actually in the works! =O Well, that would certainly be an interesting thing... *Sees date* Oooh. *Nods knowingly*Anyway, I was thinking of maybe entering, but I don't know if I'll have time enough to think stuff up, make sure it works, try and hide some of the inspiration if possible, and submit it. =P The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) It's my own fault for being such an over detailing freakazoid.That, and I don't know if I could have done it without an in-between post.On the old forum I had to wait, like, 15 hours just to make the next post. The preview post thing tells you it will be a separate post. Lying forum.In hindsight if I had attempted a double post, I might have been able to edit them both. But hindsight is always 20/20, isn't it?That, and if I didn't need two posts but had them, it would have been pretty sad...I'll be reviewing Dark Mirror soon.-Toa Levacius Zehvor Edited December 3, 2011 by Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that might help a bit. And that's making no mention of my super awesome and dedicated playerbase.
