EVENTS

Greetings, fellow homins! To celebrate my first six months on Atys (yea, yea... I'm a Ryzom baby, I know) I am sponsoring a contest.

I enjoy running into other homins in the wild and reading their biographies. Unfortunately, many players have not made use of this feature. To incentivize the use of the "Info" tab in the "Identity" window, I will gift subscriptions to the players who use the tab in the most novel, creative, and entertaining ways.


Rules

In order to enter the contest, a player must either (a) post the name of their character(s) in a reply to this forum post, or (b) send the names by in-game mail to Locith(Atys). I will add your character(s) to my contacts in-game and view your profile there.

You may submit up to (3) characters' biographies for consideration. They must be your characters. You may not create a character just for the purpose of this contest.

Your biography may be in-character or out-of-character. However, a substantial part of the biography must be about Atys and/or Ryzom.

You must keep the biography on your character until at least August 27, 2022 (23:59 UTC). I encourage you to make the biography permanent and to update it from time to time in the future. That's the point of the contest after all :)

Submissions that violate the Terms of Service or Code of Conduct will be disqualified.


Judging Critera

I will consider these criteria when selecting winners. Your biography does not need to meet any criteria to be eligible. These are guidelines for what I consider elements of a good biography.

• bbCode tags, colors, and hyperlinks
• Creativity and imagination
• Style, tone, and voice
• References to lore
• Memories of personal history with Ryzom
• Jokes, poems, riddles
• List of mastered skills
• Advertisement of crafted products or services
• Time zone and/or country of residence
• Discord username

Prizes

First place: 6-month subscription

Second place: 3-month subscription

Third place: 1-month subscription


I will message each winner for permission before I gift the subscription in case they would like their account to remain free-to-play.

A winner may choose to gift the subscription to any other player (except for me).


Deadline

Submissions will close on FridayFriday, 26 August 2022 23:00:00 UTC (2 years ago)

Winners and runners-up will be announced in this thread on Saturday, August 27.

Good luck! Bonne chance! Viel Glück!
