I want to form a story contest on my home server of Infinity. I haven't thought it out fully, but I want it to be a challenge and require a buy in to insure participation.
Rules I've worked out so far:
1. You will be given a story topic.
2. You have 7 days to complete it.
3. All mobs, stories, etc. must be made from scratch or you can use existing in-game mobs.
4. Everyone participating must play all missions as one team. I'd like to be the 8th to Judge.
5. The creator of the mission must play a support toon. This does not include "offender" defender builds or all blast corruptors lol.
6. I'd like everyone to have a say. With a 7-man contest we can do it like this: My vote counts 4 pts, everyone else's counts 1. That way I can be overruled if people think i'm wrong, or at least 5 can make it tie (and I"d likely side with them at that point).
I've been ebil farming/marketeering... so I'm trying to decide what to give away for this contest. I could make it where the first 7 good ideas from when I give the topic, or the first to pay say a 50 million buy-in (that I would match to give to the winner).
If we get more than 7, I can run a silent vote through private tells on a 1-10 to scale. We can also run these in unpublished formats if people have 3 stories they're locked into.
Also, to make sure we play all of the missions in a given time... perhaps no Very Long arcs (keep it to 2-4 missions?).
Any thoughts?
Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

pick an old well-known film, like Them! or It's Alive! and make a story arc with a similar premise.
