CFN SPECIAL ISSUE Community manager writing contest
nutty fox
Hi there!
As some of you know I serve as a community manager this Presidential term. I have not been that active because tried to figure out how to bring activity to the some what silent community. We have a small group of people who post any messages in game feed and press releases.
As you have been reading we have had nice substitutions in “everyone a house” and ever so great “the flying Dutchman” air program. (The Flying Dutchman (Dutch: De Vliegende Hollander) is a legendary ghost ship that can never make port and is doomed to sail the oceans forever.)
Lets also not forget about the “community media project” that is also active, so you could even collect from there by entering this competition (eNL citizens only).
Inspired of this I launch a writing contest, that has two categories = open for all eNetherland citizens and parallel to that, open for all in eRep world.
Even the activity all over the eWorld has dropped, I know for a fact that there are still a bunch of great writers out here.
I want you to write a story that describes your house, is it a small hut or a big castle, maybe a secret bunker? What types of rooms you might have there or what ever your imagination brings in mind.
If this doesn’t interest you, maybe you want to create a story about storage facility, are you a “black market” trader or just a prepper for an apocalyptic eRep world war or just the last survivor out here after everyone else have left?
Obviously you can also do a great war related story, since we all love these ones. Can be air, ground, sea (note: Flying Dutchman), guerilla or other type of war story. Weaponry and tactics are a real nice bonus!
So in a nutshell, write about housing, storage or war. You can also combine all of these elements in one piece.
Yes there are prizes for your efforts that are sponsored 100% by the eNetherlands government and our great leader Shawtyl0w.
Three of the best stories will be awarded as follows.
1st 5000cc
2nd 3000cc
3rd 2000cc
So three best eNetherlands citizens and three best rest of the world will be receive a total prize pool of 20.000cc.
To enter the competition you need to publish the article containing your story in eNetherlands and refer “community manager writing contest”.
All entries must be released by the end of eRep day 4,121.
I do understand that outside citizens have to spend 2 gold to post it in our local feed and maybe some of you will get some small amount of compensation for this?
I will perhaps consult some secret judges (or not) on the case of who the three best pieces are. Obviously how much the crowd = readers like the stories have some value as well.
Remember to let your imagination and writing skills flow freely.
Hopefully you would also shout once or twice so this gets attention of the great story tellers all over our wonderfull eWorld, thank you so much in advance.
With warm and furry regards

My storage is actually my house. Yeah I know the government sponsored me this nice suburban house but my name is on that primarily for tax reasons. Why I live in my storage? Well the main reason is space. The ground floor alone stretches out for a couple football fields and then we're not even talking about the subterranean areas.
So I drive my car up to my storage, I click my remote and I watch the blast-door of the storage sink into the ground. Then I just drive in and park up right next to the living room area. Pretty much a kitchen-bar combination in the middle of the empty space with a lounge built around it. I flick another switch and a cinema grade projector starts beaming the latest news on the wall. From the ground I grab my basketball which I shoot towards the ring I have mounted on the other wall.
My sleeping chambers are up near the roof in the offices of the overseer back when this was a factory. It's pretty spartan actually, just a bed for me and my partner, a mirror with a tap and a shower. My favorite part of it is the gangplank. Yeah you heard that right, gangplank. When I wake up in the morning I jump down 15 meters into the swimming pool.
Maybe to be continued! I like the initiative Nutty!
Please write a article about it as a story. You have good stuff in there.
Oh woops yeah will do!

Thank you so much for taking part! So the international side is battle of the poets 😃 .
Sometimes a poem makes you think more than some big article..
I know that Celadori Cotis has that effect on me 😃
So please check all his entries when you find time.. he is the one of the glues that make me enjoy this eWorld even more!
We need more quality writing, there are so many interesting people here.. I hope to read more and more new stuff, not only 'I need 25 comms for a mission'..
And again, a great idea - if is all right I would also do something similar in eCroatia, to encourage better articles and more writing / expressing..

I actually all the years been here read tons and tons of articles. Back in time there were many great writers. If not this contest I would not have founded you and Celadori. Please do copy this idea or parts of it. Anything that boosts quality writing is just great. I am so fed up on those 2 liners who do zero effort even for few "must do" articles. The society is the strong element in here and when thats gone all is gone.
