Alright everyone, I have been noticing a few quest suggestions around the forums lately, some good, some ok, and some kind of disappointing. That said, I wanted to give everyone a little more incentive into writing good quest ideas. Also, since Pokemon Universe is a group project, I like to encourage people's suggestions.
I remember always having wanted to work on a project like this before, and am honored to have been given the privilege, so I try to remember what it must be like for those of you that haven't been given the opportunity that I have, but recognize that I am not ready to give it up too easily either.
So here's the deal. You write a quest, and I read it (yes, I read every quest idea on the forums), but now there is a little something extra involved for you. This is a contest to see who can supply the team with the best quest suggestions!
Rules:
* You have two weeks to submit your work. No submissions will be accepted after Tuesday March 16th (I recognize many people live in a different time zone, so I will be fair and not be too picky if you haven't submitted exactly on time, but that's not to say that you should submit at the last possible moment anyway, as I have ultimate veto power.)
* You can make your quest about anything as long as it follows the rules of Pokemon Universe. (for example: legendaries cannot be caught). If you are unsure about what is acceptable, please take a look around the forums first.
* Use English! i cnt tell u nuf how iritating is 2 red posts whn u can not spelled properly if post liek tis i wil ignor u. That isn't to say you can't make a mistake or two, but at least try not to.
* It can be any length, but I will be honest when I say: I take posts more seriously when they have a couple of paragraphs at least (they just have a better chance of having been thought out).
* You must submit a NEW quest. If I have seen your quest before, or find it anywhere on the internet, I will immediately disqualify you from the contest.
* You may submit up to five quests, with a limit of one per day, just know, that if I find that you keep submitting poor quality to me, I may not be as inclined to take your next one seriously.
* You cannot win more than once. I say this because I wan't to give the competitors a chance to win as well, however, if ALL the other submissions fail to impress me at all, I may be kind and let you win a couple more times.
* I can't think of anything else right now, but i will let everyone know if I think of something later
Please submit your quests to [email protected]
I will notify you that I received your entry, so if you don't hear from me within about 24 hours after submitting, please let me know so we can ensure you still get your quest entered in the contest.
PRIZES
XD
1st place:
* get your quest in the game
* get on pre-beta (if you're not already)
* surprise (I will reveal this one at a later date, but I think you will like it)
2nd place:
* get your quest in the game
* get on pre-beta (if you're not already)
3rd place:
* get your quest in the game
Good luck to all our competitors, I do hope this encourages many of you to get out there and think up some great ideas
Oh, and one final note: while it is not required, it is definitely recommended that you view the following topic before writing anything.

Good, point, I think I was planing on mentioning that, but I was really tired when I posted.
No, you cannot place in all three, unless the other submissions just suck that bad. If you place in one, I'm going to try to give other people the other spots first
*updated rules*
-
ha... I'll definitely be joining this contest :]
-
I want to thank all those that have already submitted their quests, and encourage/remind those who haven't to still do so; yes, you have almost two weeks still to submit your entry, but you don't want to miss this opportunity, so don't procrastinate (like me) for too long.
I also would like to mention that I will confirm your submission when I receive it, so if you do not hear back from me for a day after you submit an entry, please resend it, or send a notification to my email in my profile, or let me know on chat, and I will get back to you about how we can fix that.

And why not? He probably won't point out names but he can tell us if there good or not atm.

I suppose that's plausible ::)

Well Victory that is what I am wondering. Not sure.

Please ease up on the posting. 20 posts a day is not going to help you get anywhere unless they are 20 amazing posts per day.
Quality > Quantity.

I guess you are referring to me? Sorry Ill stop. But I do have to ask in your opinion is there much more to talk about? If there is may you show a list of what is still needed to be done for the site because I am finding it difficult to provide great posts on certain topics. Or should I just wait for the right topic?

Just make your own post I guess?
Anyways...My quest is going along just fine. I'll hand in 5 most likely at the same time. Just wondering. Can all 5 be linked? Or do they all have to be different. Like say...You have to finish the first one to unlock the second one and finish the second one to unlock the third one.
-
you can only submit one a day victory ::)

It's fine if your quests link, as long as they are distinctively different. Also, please only submit one/day, it just makes it easier to stay organized, and re-enforces time taken on writing them so that people don't just submit poorly thought out ideas.

Good luck to all contestens
-
Mwahahaha a chance to destroy you all i'll try my best even though im busy so it may take a while to get my entrie.

@Spirit
I was talking about just sending all at the deadline. If that's ok with you.
-
Almost one week is up people, and I still want to see more submissions.
more. more! MORE! MOAR!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
So remember, if you haven't already, get some entries in. If you have already entered, then send in a couple more. If you have already entered five times, just sit back and wait for the results.
I would also like to mention, please don't ask me what I thought of your quest, I will not tell you; don't worry, when the contest is over, I will send everyone a review based on every entry they submit, so you will hear what I have to say about it.
Oh, and one more thing....
MOAR QUESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 >.<

Alright, just a heads up that the contest closes in a little over two days. Please enter any last minute submissions you have.
If you have not entered yet, please get on that, so we can have as many different people's ideas as possible.
I want to encourage everyone (especially those who have not already been chosen for pre-beta) to write their quests and submit them to me a.s.a.p.
At the time of me posting this, you have 57 hours remaining
-
Any quest that raised your eyebrows yet?

I've said it before, and I will say it again....I am not disclosing any information regarding what I am thinking about any of the quests until the end of the contest.
-
Do we just post them on the quest board if we want to submit them, or do we PM them to you?

You send them to the designated email on the first page. Do NOT post them.

Alright, last day of the contest.
I will be accepting entries for approximately 24 hours; remember, I will be probably be generous if you're a little late (you should thank time zones for that), but if you enter after the 24 hours and I do not accept your entry, you have only yourself to blame.
Also, as this is the last day, I will be accepting as many last minute submissions as you have. That means, if you haven't entered yet, you can still do so, and enter all five at once (if you can write that many today), but try not to sacrifice quality for quantity; you can only win once.
Lastly, as I am sure everyone is curious when I will announce the winners, I suppose I shall tell you when that will be.
...But I have no idea. I will be reading them and re-reading them all week, so expect an answer sometime next week.
-
I sent another one subject name is second test entry. Don't ask why i used that subject
-
Any specific date to when the the winners will be anounced?
