Description:
To tie in with the new flashpoint being added to The Old Republic today we are having a fiction contest for all our DB membership. The plot is entirely up to you, but should feature your character and be 3-10 pages long. You have a month to write and submit your entry and winners will be announced as quickly as the judges can read through the submissions and come to an agreement on the winner. If you are participating keep a few things in mind: This story can be set in either the main EH timeline of 20 ABY, or it can be set in the TOR era. Whichever you choose it should feature your character from that era. The story should involve the rakghouls in some way. If you aren’t familiar with the rakghouls then take a trip to Wookiepedia and read up on them or load up Knights of the Old Republic and explore the depths of Tarsis. Finally keep in mind the standard caveats of not performing acts your character is incapable of. No blowing up planets, no use of canon characters, and if you want to use someone else’s EH/TOR character in your story get permission first and make sure they approve how their character appears in your story. Basically keep it reasonable and respect others in your story. The winning story will also be posted so that your fellow EH members can enjoy your talent. Please send allsubmissions to ascottcampbell7@aol.com preferably in .doc or txt formats.

The Sword of Drakonan
Start Date: February 28, 2011
End Date: March 30, 2012
Groups involved: House Drakonan
Awards: For taking the highest level of points in a given month the member will receive a Cr-1A, for taking second a Cr-1S. Additionally, the member that is the overall leader in points for the year at that point becomes “The Sword of Drakonan” a fictional position that entitles them to a special piece of equipment, this can be worked out between myself and the winner. Also this position will serve as the Quaestor’s personal assassin, commando, advisor etc. If the member loses the title the next month they lose the benefits until they can reclaim it. At the end of the year the title of Sword and the included benefits become permanent even if the member retires or a new Sword is chosen. Also at the end of the year the top three point scores will receive a Gold Nova, Silver Nova, and Bronze Nova respectively.
Description:
The idea behind this competition is to allow each of you to compete in a friendly manner to determine who is the most active and accomplished dark jedi in the House. Next to me of course. ;) How it works is there are point values assigned to specific activities and awards. Each time you complete one of these activities, you automatically get the points. Now at the end of each month the points will be tallied and the leader becomes the "Sword of Drakonan. A recognition of your excellence at pursuing the dark side arts and serving House Drakonan. This monthly title comes with a medal and the fictional perks of being my right hand...being. Also we'll work out a fun added bonus for you to claim in any run ons or fiction. Here's the catch: We're dark jedi. You only hold the title as long as you can keep your fellow Dark Reavers from snatching it away so you better stay on top of the point total or next month I'll have a new Sword assisting me. Here's how the point breakdown goes: TIE Fighter/XWA/ etc. – 1 point per mission flown (2 if the member receives a high score) Multiplayer Gaming (on any official platform) – 1 point per match played (2 if the MP was in an EH sponsored or endorsed match with an outside club) Message Board posts – 1 point (double posting doesn’t count, the member must wait for a response from another House member, this also includes run ons) DB Fiction- 1 point per page, an extra point for a submission that wins a competition Graphics/Videos/Mission, Mod, Map, Level Creation - 1-5 points depending on the size and detail of each (I’ll have to use my discretion here, an extra point for any such submission that is part of an official competition, and an extra 2 for a competition winner) Coursework- 1 point for successful completion of any course in the EH Academies, 2 points for a Shadow Academy course. Course Creation- 3 points for creating a course in any EH academy, 2 extra points for creating a Shadow Academy course. Recruiting- 5 points for each new member recruited that becomes active and stays so for at least a month. Serving as a BTL- Each week counts as 1 point, the BTL must produce a unit report and be active in at least one other activity listed above and be running 1 unit level or higher competition, 1 extra point earned per activity or competition run by that BTL that has at least 5 members other than them participating) Trivia and other miscellaneous types of activity/competition- 1 point for participating in each competition or activity cycle. Now at the end of the year the three top point earners will receive Gold through Bronze Novas for their outstanding achievements. In addition the person who gathers the most points for the year gets to keep their fictional title permanently and any benfits attached to it. Good luck everyone and let the frenzy begin!
