Island of Dr. Moreau October Flaffle

Welcome to the Island of Dr. Moreau's October Event! In the spirit of the season, we will be offering a rather... special serum. Read on below for more information twisted It is IMPORTANT to read the "Serum Information" in the third post before you decide on proceeding.

For this month's event format, we will be doing a Flaffle. For those of you who don't know what a flaffle is, it is a combination of a raffle and a flat sale. The first part is a raffle: you can buy as many tickets as you like for 500 gold each.

Then, when the raffle ends, we will pick a number of winners to go on to the second stage of the flaffle: an RP contest flatsale. From the winners who have moved on to this stage, one final winner will be selected from the RP samples to win a serum drawn by Bilious!

We will draw a number of winners from the raffle equal to 5% of the tickets sold, To a maximum of 20 winners. Therefore, if there are 100 tickets bought, we will draw 5 winners. No matter how many tickets you buy, you can only be selected once to move onto the second round. So buying more tickets just increases your chances to move on.

Begins: Wednesday October 4, 2006; 7pm CST
Raffle Ends Wednesday October 11, 2006, 8pm CST.

Participants have until this time to confirm your trades. If you do not think you will be online at this point, then make sure to send trades earlier to give time for confirmation! The RP prompt will be posted after the winners are announced

Round 2 Ends: Saturday October 14, 11pm CST

Raffle Ticket Price: 500 gold each

RULES

IoDM - Newbie event only! BUT! Oldbies CAN buy tickets for newbies. But it will be up to the newbie to write their own RP prompt response if they're drawn for Round two smile
Only send pure gold for the purposes of the raffle.
All trades should be sent to this mule account ("Island of Moreau" wink .
No whining, scare tactics, or pity parties: be civil
You may buy tickets for yourself or others. Trades will assumed to be for you unless you say otherwise in the trade title.
But! It is the person for whom the ticket is bought that needs to enter the RP contest. You can't enter the second round RP contest on behalf of someone else.
You do NOT need to post in the thread with how many tickets you are buying. We will divide the amount that you are sending by 500 to figure out how many tickets you are buying.
You may not request certain numbers in the raffle. Numbers will be assigned based on order.
All trades must be confirmed before the raffle is drawn or else you will be disqualified. IoDM owners will go through confirming trades on our end once or twice a day and more frequently before the start of the raffle.
Please ask any questions in the thread; Do not PM

Serum Information

Before purchasing a ticket, PLEASE take this into consideration!

The serum being offered is NOT a normal serum. Any normal animal may be used for your character if you win this flaffle. HOWEVER, there will be... problems.

In the spirit of Halloween, Bilious's and the GM's twisted minds, and the doctors' projects, this character will wind up severely physically twisted and deformend.

The Story: The scientists at the labs have been working on minimizing the mental side effects that the serums cause. Many of the subjects have been exhibiting animalistic instincts at best, and some even bouts of feralness and insanity that have proven dangerous to themselves and others. The las have been working hard the last few months to fix this problem. They think they have it.

But it's not that simple. While the serum WILL succeed in preserving the subjects' mind(!) untouched by the animal.... the effects to the body will be detrimental. Ultimately, this will be a FAILED experiment.

We encourage "Normal" base animals for this serum (mammals, reptiles, etc) - because the process will certainly leave them twisted by the end.

Round Two: RP Contest

The winners of the raffle section of the flaffle will go on to participate in Round Two.
Round two will be a RP contest (NOT character contest). We will post a prompt after the winners are announced from the raffle, and those winners will have until the deadline to post their submission in this thread.

Once Round Two begins, the thread will be closed to any further chatting to allow for ease of judging the submissions.

There will be ONE winner from these entrants who will get their character drawn by Bilious. The character must still go through the normal approval with the GMs before they get guild access.

******

Given that we had the full maximum of 20 people make it to round two, for the sake of lack of repitition and reading ease, we have two Role Play prompts! Pick the one that inspires you the most, and make a response in the thread from the vantage of your "quest" character.

If you chose Prompt A, this does not need to be "cannon" for the character ((Ie, your response is from their vantage, but this doesn't need to be an actual part of their background)). If you choose Prompt B, we encourage you to incorporate this as an actual event in their backstory if you win.

Please post your entry in the thread. From this point on, no other posts should be made to this thread to facilitate judging.

We're looking for entries approximately a page (typed in word) in length - more or less is acceptable, but if you write too long and you don't hold the judgeds' interest, then we may skip to the next entry.

DO not edit your post! Once a judge reads an entry, they will likely not go back and reread it unless they're down to a couple of decisions!

WRITING MUST ALL BE YOUR OWN WORK! Do not get a friend to edit it for you! You can use word's/google's spellcheck, but we do not want you using any tools that you would not use if you were RP'ng on the island. This is supposed to be a sample of your RP ability.

If you were not drawn as one of the 20 winners of the raffle, DO NOT SUBMIT a writing entry! Don't enter "for fun", we will have enough to read through with the 20 canidates' posts and want to minimize confusion.

Prompt A:

One night, as your character is going to sleep, they can't shake an imposing, creepy feeling. When they finally do nod off, the dreams that follow are particularly disturbing and vivid. During the dream, their body is horribly deformed. They are confronted with thier visage and in some fashion see/feel it changing into something dreadful. Before they wake up, they encounter someone close to them. How do they react to the character?
Describe your character attempting to get to sleep, and then the dream that ensues.

Prompt B

It's that time of the year again. October, the begining of the fall, and with Halloween lingering on the horizon. Stores have already begun to stock candy and decorations. Despite whatever sentiments your character might have about the holiday, one particular disturbing memory is reawoken in their mind whenever this time of year comes around. What is this memory?

Describe your character flashing back to their most disturbing Halloween-related memory.
