Re: The Salty Dogs “Tales of Adventure†Competition Well, I love the concept and I'm glad that I'm not a judge, so I can compete. Whoever this 'Blaize' character is, will likely be biased to my work considering how our names are similar. I also think judging should be kept private and managed by the staff to ensure fair judgement without bias. Or, perhaps a vote/ranking system on forums for each story? This way anyone who reads it can give it a basic vote for level of quality. Tales reaching x level of rank, by votes from unique user ID/IPs, will be granted such an award by the staff directly.
Re: The Salty Dog's “Tales of Adventure†Competition Great idea and an incentive for me to write an actual story - sometime Ive been meaning to do for some time. I dont think player voting is a good idea because the contest becomes a popularity contest.
Re: The Salty Dog's “Tales of Adventure†Competition I'd like some pooooooound cake! I mean... I'm in. What's the deadline?
Re: The Salty Dog's “Tales of Adventure†Competition as the shard is new and events have been plentiful I was thinking the end of this month so 30/04/2013
Re: The Salty Dog's “Tales of Adventure†Competition A Troubling, Treasured Tale I met my fishing partner at the Skara Brae docks to find him killing our dolphin friends who many times, have guided us on our sea journeys. I was shocked at what I saw. We previously arranged an expedition of the high seas to find a long, lost sunken treasure. Our clue was on a waterstained SOS message obtained from a message in a bottle we found in the belly of a sea serpent we slayed on our last embark. After boarding our small ship, the Belly Up, I handed the bottle to my partner. During our journey, we encountered several monsters of the seas on the way to the sunken treasure. My friend hid given the torrid magics the water elementals use in battle. Later, he bravely pulled up a deep sea serpent that had a special fishing net! My fishing friend has been getting a bit gruff and crusty lately, perhaps too much time on the seas. He kept mentioning others on the seas that don’t belong there. I decided to halt his random tirades by throwing a few nets out. The nets pulled up 5 formidable monsters. I provoked the water elementals onto the kraken which it quickly disposed of… I then had the sea serpents attack the foul creature. They too quickly succumbed to tentacled beast of the sea, therefore we finished it off using my magics and my friend’s skillful archery. Once dead, we searched the creatures for special treasures they sometimes carry but nay! We finally reach the sunken treasure location and my comrade fished up numerous items as we searched for the chest. Unfortunately, he also fished up some remains of those on the distressed boat. It appears the vessel sank with the crew onboard. He celebrated and showed off the bounty from his mastered skill… Back at the docks, my “friend†said the oddest thing as I saw him off… I’m not sure what to make of his words however I have heard rumors of pirates roaming the seas. While I do not know this to be true, given I have yet to see any with my own eyes... I fear my friend may be seeking out this nefarious group and is up to no good. I do hope he isn’t planning to pillage whatever and whomever he may find. *sighs*
