[* Contest #16

Greetings. Would you like to wish upon a star?

All over Evelon, there are countless young couples, deeply in love. However, the Lands of Evelon have a strict policy on breeding: unless you have a breeding room, your pets cannot have the children they have always dreamed of, the children they are simply dying to give birth to and raise. Maybe because of luck, or because of time constraints, countless couples cannot see their wish being accomplished. They remain without children, sometimes opting to adopt a pet or two to fill in the void, for the time being...

This contest is especially to satisfy the empty hole in those couples' hearts! Astrophel, above, will grant the wishes of couples who truly deserve to have children. How will this contest work? Please make sure to read the rules below.

[* Rules *]

º This is a RolePlaying contest. While Script RPs are available for this contest, it seems the Outline Areas haven't been used at all; thus, unless it is asked for, Paragraph RolePlays ONLY. You will find a special area for your RPs; do not post in this topic!

º The goal of the contest is to RP a couple of pets you want to breed for the sake of children. This doesn't mean the children are mandatory to the plot, necessarily, but it is preferred if the couple expresses a desire to have children, or just a desire. Astrophel won't be able to grant you a room if you don't express the desire. :)

º There is no theme or general words or expressions that we wan you to use. However, the goal is to write a RolePlay that is engaging, in which the reader can truly feel the love and the feelings from your posts. Keep in mind, your RP will not be judged by wordiness. Because you write walls of text doesn't mean you will win. ;) Wordiness can be more harmful than it can be useful.

º There are going to be three categories: Kuhnas, Lucain, and Paragons. You may enter for each category. But keep in mind you can only win in one of them! If you win the Kuhna room, you cannot win the Lucain or Paragon room.

º There is no maximum or minimum of posts, but we want some consistence to your RP. Five posts won't really tell us much about your couple, will it? Likewise, you do not need 10 pages of RPing to win. Find a way to make your RP wonderful, is all you need, regardless of posts. :)

º Keep in mind this is not to win a room for just any pair. This is to win a room for your winning couple. You can't RP a random couple for this contest, win, and then breed a different pair of pets. Of course, this means that being lifemated will help. The couples can either be solo (you own/RP both pets) or a pair (you RP with a partner).

º This is open to every couple, including same gender and custom Kuhnas! However, keep in mind Astrophel will not grant you any items. If you want to breed two males or two females, you need the appropriate potion(s). If you want custom babies, you need the appropriate potion.

º If you win, you will need to RP out your room. The RP you submit for the contest does not count as your breeding room.

º This contest earns you the regular 3KS/post, so you have to respect the 5-sentence rule. However, like the Breeding Area, the contest defies the displacement rule, so you don't have to free your pets for it!

º Please do mention whether the couple is lifemated or not. If it is in the process of being lifemated, it counts as lifemated still. Lifemated couples will have a higher chance of winning.

º If you have bred a lot before, your chances are lower. This is to give a chance to those who have couples that weren't able to get a room to have children. You may still win, of course, but your RP will be judged more harshly. :)

º The end date is Sunday, February 13th, 2011, at midnight (going to Monday). You do need time to write a nice RP, don't you? :) Just in time for Valentine's Day!


I believe this is all you need to know. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in this topic. :D

Will our pets get posts and levels from these roleplays?

Confusion ahoy! Are we RPing in the hopes of winning a room, or will the RP itself act as our "room" if we win?

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

Thunder: Yes, and you also win the regular 3 KS/post. So the 5-sentence rule applies here too.

Freezair: You do win a room, but you don't win a room for the sake of just breeding whoever you want. The concept is that your pairing wants children or is deeply in love. And if they win, then your couple gets a room to breed, basically.

You won't just get babies if you win, you have to RP out a room too.

What I mean is that you can request to be able to do Script RPs, but since the Outline Areas just haven't been touched at all, I won't add a section for it unless people want it.

I have a question, too!

Since this contest will run such a long time, what exactly does that mean for the couple? Does that mean I can't use them if, by some miracle, I'll win a breeding room through a raffle before the contest is over? It would make sense that I couldn't, but it feels important to know this because I'm not sure I want to toss my favourite couple into this if it means I have no other chance of breeding them until this is over.

EDIT: Another question! If I would toss my most important couple into this, I'd like to re-read the RP quite a few times, I imagine. So will these RPs just be moved to the invisible graveyard after this is done? Because if that's the case, I'm totally using a different couple. I hate it if important stuff gets lost. D8



I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls






However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

Jackie: Yes, whenever you have a couple and you feel ready to post, you simply post your RP. It can be anywhere in Evelon.

Shieba: Well, yes. Because I'm not expecting people to have only one couple in their entire Pen? xD;

I can move it to a see-able Graveyard. :p I'll just make a new section for it or something.

I only have two (well, one, but the second one is ordered) Paragons and I want them to lifemate and have children...so if I enter this with my Paragons and win a breeding room raffle for Paragons until February, the room gets voided? That's...pretty harsh. Thanks for the answer, I'll have to think about entering then.

Also, different question: How many rooms will be given out in the end? Kinda makes a difference if I try and there will be ten rooms in the end or just one. Makes the risk of taking my Paragons out of raffles for some time more calculated.

And yay, new graveyard section! 8D

Your room won't be voided... That's what I mean. Just breed other pets together for the sake of breeding them?

THere will be only one room per category. Anyway, that's the deal right now... though I guess giving out more than one per category might be interesting. If anything, there is certainly one per category for sure. I hadn't thought about giving out multiple rooms.

But how am I supposed to breed other pets when I only have two Paragon and have them here in the contest and then win a Paragon room? I can't switch to other Paragon if I don't have any and actually winning something for once (not that it'll happen...) and then not being able to use it is...hsjdghjsdgs.

One room only. Huh. I suppose I'll wait then and see how many enter before I take my chances. 8D Thanks for the quick answers!

I guess so long as you don't breed that specific pairing. x: I honestly didn't think about that kind of situation, since most people have like... a crapton of breedables. xD;
