Contest #1 (Yes, there will be more than 1 =P) - (January 1 - Jan 31)
Rules:
1: To enter each contestant needs to write a background/epic tale about a character they plan to play in Pantheon (Keep it under 1500 words).
2: Post in this channel (pantheon-contest-submission) when you have made a submission. (discord link is provided at the end, this channel is inside the InZane4Lyphe discord)
3: Submissions are to be made to my email. The submissions should be made in typed format, please do not send files. Be advised this contest is meant for people who are not currently pledged to Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. I will have assistance from a VR staff member to authenticating emails / usernames on Discord to do my best in preventing members who already have accounts from entering. Ultimately my wishes are to see someone without an account become a new member to the Pantheon community.
Picking a winner:
Each story will be read live on my Twitch channel starting on February 2nd and 3rd (If more time is needed over the weekend due to magnitude of submissions). The stories will be voted on by my subscribers and myself. My personal vote will be weighted (weight # will be dependent on subs/mods present), with all of my subs and mods being one each. The story with the most votes wins the gift of a "Watcher" Level Pantheon pledge. If you prefer your story to be omitted from the Twitch event, please state this in your email. Note that your personal information / email address will not be disclosed regardless of your choice. (If you choose to have your story omitted from the live presentation the mods/subs and myself will review them privately - so that your submission may be heard and be eligible for vote).
This is my first time hosting an event like this, so I am open to suggestions for future contests all across the board. Keep in mind I plan on doing a very special contest sometime throughout the year - so definitely stay tuned for that! Future contests and rules will be posted in the InZane4Lyphe discord in addition to the forum post.
A bit about why I am doing this:
Many of my fondest memories of gaming in my younger years come from my time playing Everquest. I love community based MMORPG's and I am so excited for Pantheon. I want to show people how awesome of a team VR has put together and enlighten people on the core values of a "community" based game. Secondly, our friends at VR exist because of all of the support they receive from us. I would like to make sure I go out of my way to assist in the development of Pantheon in every way I possibly can. Cheers VR, and to all those entering - best of luck!
Feel free to poke around in the discord and say Hi to the other members, or look for others to play with in about any game! We always love hearing about other game experiences / finding new people to play with!
