RPG Forum Text-Based RPG Contest 23No themes this time, just make a super-fun RPG!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.[*]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.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 Saturday, March 24th.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.

It's up! And so soon...So there isn't going to be a theme this contest then? Alright then.Might enter. Might not. Probably not based on current events. Still, best of luck to anybody who does enter. Hope to see all of the great RPGs! :)-Toa Levacius Zehvor :flagusa:

Theme suggestion: Find the Mask. Basically the story has to revolve around or at least include finding a powerful object.Anyways, BaR should be up soon.

Alright, thought it was the '06 one.So yeah, transformation would still work. Doesn't even have to be everyone, maybe an overarching goal would be to get one person transformed. Maybe stop someone who was going to transform and destroy the world? Endless possibilities!But anyways, I have a feeling B6 isn't going to change it. Next time, I guess.

Back in early January I wrote up an RPG called Transformation, so I want to say I ninjaed that. It was about Spiriah's experiments on the Skakdi, where they were mutated and became more powerful. I don't know if I'll enter it, but if that theme ever come up, I will be well prepared! Edited by Mt Ihu

Yes, ToD. So hush. I don't want to have to edit Day Run for a theme. :PJust kidding. Anyway, I'll probably enter Day Run on Saturday or Sunday; depends on when I have time to do so. Also expect a viral campaign of sorts to start up, since I'm writing another DR-related short story and BU was already planned to start up again on 3/10.Stay tuned. http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.pngSpeaking of returning RPGs -- I wonder if Island of Pain is coming back? =P

Island of Pain! Island of Pain!

I could be mistaken, but last contest we discussed possible themes that could arise this contest. Now we're doing it again. I think it's a mass group nagging, but I could be wrong.As per themes, I think it would be cool to do an invasion or enslavement based theme. After all, '06 was about that at the beginning, when the Piraka used the locals ignorance to convince them they were Toa... the enslaved them. So maybe a slavery or capture based theme?-Toa Levacius Zehvor :flagusa:

This is kinda coming from nowhere, but anyway;If you guys could have one uniuqe trait in a RPG, what would it be? The ability to create completely custom species? The ability to poilt machines? These probably don't sound all too fun, so please, suggestion are needed.Anyway, back on topic, in my opinion, the next RPG Contest's theme should be Enslavement (Spelling fail?). That way, I can do something in the style of Alien Chronicles.

The first is available in most RPGs. The second was seen in Day Run (and possibly will be again, it it wins) and has been used in many others. But this is for the RPG Planning Topic.My main reason to post here is comment addressed to Black Six - the biggest problem with the last contest was the ability to change your votes - has that feature been removed, or is it permanent for the forum?-Toa Levacius Zehvor :flagusa:

There may or may not be Rust. That remains to be decided.

They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more.

 

The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you. 

 

Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers.

 

Come Tenno, you must join the war.

Three cheers for the conquering Admin. Hip, hip, hurrah! (x3)

I have a faint idea for Techna's sequel, but I still have to actually write the RPG's description, which will take time. Do expect me to enter, though -- just because I can't play an RPG very actively doesn't mean I can't write one. :P

I think I'll play the owner of the mausoleum next time. Definitely going to need one...I reserve that position so don't none of you take it. I even have an idea how it would work. :P

I'll post my RPG as soon as I get the banner ready. :i: :a: , :i: :a: ! :w:

Heavy competition mounting up.Hey Dovy, are you going to be putting up the GoMN sequel? Pretty please? :begging:-Toa Levacius Zehvor :flagusa: Edited by Toa Levacius Zehvor
