| Should I Run Another Writing Competition? | Started by: Kuku on May 08, '24 14:00 |

In terms of a subject, do you think there's enough material from Transistor's run as a leader to ask for entries based on that?
Haha, only joking of course.
What about what HONOUR (HONOR) means in the mafia? |

I think that topic would be very relevant to the times. Honor is something that we are in danger of losing. We have rogues, we have upper structure praising rogues, we have baseless accusations being thrown around like confetti at a Pig Parade, and several murders with questionable, possibly dishonorable, motives. True to my word, because I am an HONORABLE man, here is my donation to the prize fund. I suppose we should agree on someone to hold the prize funds, since I doubt everyone who wants to contribute will be quite as trusting as I am? I would be willing to serve in that role, if everyone is ok with that, if not, tell me...a wubba wubba...Who-ah do ya trust? |

On the topic of honour and specifically the lack thereof, I've been tipped handsomely for my thoughts in that area. I will therefore also provide $1,000,000 to the prize fund. I'd also like to formally request that LongLeggedLarry enters remotely, so as not to destroy whatever meeting of the minds this incentive doubtlessly creates with his crowd dispersing superpowers should he attend in person.

We need to understand if Mr_Intimidating was a competition related death.
Who could lead this investigation? Obviously no descendent of Transistor, as nobody would listen to him |

Ah, the winds of change blow through the halls of our storytelling realm! The time has come to reignite the flames of the Kuku Writing Competition once more. Picture it: writers from far and wide, gathering in the tavern of our forum, their imaginations aflame with the promise of adventure and glory. As we prepare for this grand undertaking, let us remember the lessons of our past. Fairness shall be our guiding principle, and safety our utmost concern. We shall appoint three wise judges, independent and impartial, to preside over our literary festivities. But let us not forget the true essence of our competition. It is not merely about prizes or prestige, but about the joy of creation, the thrill of storytelling. Each word we pen is a brushstroke upon the canvas of our shared imagination, a testament to the boundless power of our creativity. So let us raise our quills high and sound the call to arms! The Kuku Writing Competition awaits, a beacon of inspiration for all who dare to dream and weave tales of wonder. Are you ready to answer the call? |

Depending on the amount of prize funds available, I thought of a couple different ways to judge the entries. You could have a prize awarded to the best composition (strictly objective, based on writing ability), a prize awarded for most poignant (the best incorporation of the writer's perspective of "Onore" into current or recent events), and one for best roleplaying entry, in other words, the writer's perspective is given in storytelling form, which could be metaphorical or in any other style, so long as it follows more of a "story" format than a "instructional" format. |

I wonder if there will be prizes for non-entrants. If yes, then i might not enter. |

OK, I think we have enough interest to run a writing competition.
I'll have a think about a non-controversial subject and get to business! |
