Shyyrn Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I understand. You probably feel like Day Run's being overshadowed by all the other big names in the race. So many strong entries...It's probably because it's the first contest after a months-long downtime, and all of the RPG writer's pent-up energies have rushed out like a torrent. Such is the nature of things.Still, I'm sure Day Run will acquit itself admirably. -Shyyrn "Let me realize that my past failures at follow-through are no indication of my future performance......They're just healthy little fires that are going to light up my resolve."

Blessed Blade Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I'm sure Day Run will do fine; I'm definitely going to advertise it some way or other in my sig once the polls are up.

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Well I've written up a primary character for each RPG (save three; Island of Pain already has characters, one of them I will never play, and the third is mine) currently up on the contest. So no matter who wins, it's done ahead of time. -Toa Levacius Zehvor Edited December 12, 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...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I'll try to review Day Run tomorrow.BUT FOR NOW :LEVACIUS' TIPS TO READING "THE WAR OF ELEMENTUM-NUI 2"What do you see? Wall of text. But it's more than a wall of text! It's a massive labyrinth of text, which you must be guided in.Read the Preface. If you care to. It's a simple, short read. Does this interest you? Go on!Read the history. Skip over what seems boring; if you have a question later, look back up to clarify it with yourself. Skip to the end if you don't care at all, though it might be more confusing.Now you have rules and gameplay. Check that out. This is all a must. Still interested?World map. Look at the map. If you like knowing locations, read it. Otherwise, know where you're starting, and as you go elsewhere check back to be sure of where you are. Once the RPG wins, if it wins, that is. It's like one of those pocket guides.Factions; read those. Find the one you like the best. Look at the character sheet and stuff about that. Now you know everything to fill it out. All of the rules."Wow!" you say. "I finished this giant RPG! And it didn't take that long!"And there you are. Handle it slowly. Review it piece by piece.Don't read it all in one setting, and make sure the lights are on in your room. We care about your health!-Toa Levacius Zehvor Edited December 12, 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...

Padishah Mehmet II Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Lolno people.May the best entries, combined with the best RPers and the best writers, win.Also, Rakata.After the emergence of these factions, the Sea Gates mysteriously closed shutI love how everyone agrees with me in GoMN that in order for people to have an organized game in solely Metru Nui you have to close the Sea Gates.Expect, in advance, that some players will for some unexplainable reason want to open them.*coughcoughTPTiandToDcough*-Dovydasif you leave the Sea Gates open, whats stopping people just leaving? Or external forces from coming in and affecting the balance. Closing the Sea Gates essentially closes possible plot-holes.Exactly my point, man. That was precisely why I closed them in GoMN in the first place, lol.-Dovydas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simulacrum Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Well I've written up a primary character for each RPG (save three; Island of Pain already has characters, one of them I will never play, and the third is mine)Let me guess what # 2 is. So are we just expecting Lloyd's entry? Or are there other heavy-weights that havn't posted? I'm personally looking foward to any more non-heavyweight posts. They add flavor.

Shyyrn Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I question the wisdom of that course of action. :/In these contests, exposure and promotion matter. If you wait 'til the last day to post, you're severely limiting the time people will have to read and review your submission. Besides which, entering late means you will have the added burden of having to sway voters away from the favorites they've already chosen, no easy feat.So if anyone considering entering reads this, I suggest you don't delay! Every day counts!Thank you,Shyyrn "Let me realize that my past failures at follow-through are no indication of my future performance......They're just healthy little fires that are going to light up my resolve."

Toa Kovolta Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Agreed! It also means your not giving people enough time to review your entry, and thus you can't fix any problems it may have or tailor it to what they like.Which is why I posted mine as soon as the contest was up!
