The Writers' Challenge: Edition V
Hello, fellow writers. Another installation of the Writers' Challenge, brought to you by your criminally insane hero and saviour, Dominik. This week's prize money is 25,000 CAD. No, I'm kidding. That's long been converted to hookers and hardcore drugs. First, we need to announce last edition's winner. The man who takes home 10GOLD and 900CAD. Drumroll.....
WOLFGANG III! For his article "Realizing Truth"
Also, you missed it by .25, Greene12. Blame the anonymous judge who gave you 20/50.
Full marks and any available comments can be provided by PM upon request. Mostly because I'm lazy and don't feel like posting them.
Now, onto this week. I will keep it short and bullet-pointed for the tl;dr crowd because the number of submissions we recieved last edition was pathetic. Here is the topic first:
Real life personality and in-game character. To what extent is the in-game character and conduct of a player a reflection of their real-life personality?
Right, so all we have is this one topic this time. This makes things more fair and easy to mark.
Rules:
1. Publish an article in the Canadian media between now and midnight on Thursday, March 10th.
2. Put the [WC] tag in the title.
3. Write on any of the above topics.
4. Patiently wait for your article to be judged.
5. Win 5gold and 400CAD.
6. ????
7. PROFIT!
8. Realise Step 5 actually, legitimately involves profit.
If you are a judge: listen up. You can write an article this edition for the contest as long as you don't judge this edition. That includes other peoples' articles.
Lastly, two announcements where I will need your help, general public!
Topic Suggestions
Post your suggestions for topics in the comments. As I am the remarkably benevolent dictator of this contest, I will simply choose the ones I like and use them next time.
People's Choice Award
I will post an article after the deadline closes but before the articles are judged. It will contain all the links to the submissions. Then, YOU (that's right you, the guy in the grey t-shirt and sweatpants who's picking his nose. Yeah, I know you've been stealing my Sunday paper, you jerk-off) will post in the comment section to vote for your favourite article. The people's favourite will win an additional 100CAD!
So, write away!

Oh man, Greene got robbed. Congrats to Wolfgang, though, my marks were fairly close.

An idea for next week's topic:
"Do real life national affiliations (what country you live in RL) and national events - have some sort of impact or influence on international relations with other countries... or events... in-game?"
