Welcome to the first Lotus concept contest! If you don't know what Lotus is, please click on the above banner to find out.

Starting Date: NOW

In this event, there will be two winners!

The winners will receive their concept for FREE!!! There is no entry fee, so put away your wallets and put your thinking-caps ON!

Please note that these characters are RP-required. If you do not have the time or dedication to roleplay, please do not try for one. Also note that this shop will be full-literate, which means grammar and spelling do count. If your English is not so hot, please use a spell-checker.


[ rules ]

1. No co-owning. These characters are RP-heavy and I just don't see how it would work with more than one owner.
2. Please post all entries in this thread.
3. Items will be accepted. Please post the items you are thinking of using and Jyoti will tell you if they are accepted.
4. All Gaia and Lotus rules apply.
5. No extensions unless either Jyoti says so.
6. Payment plans may be worked out if you do not have enough gold.
7. Do not edit your entries after you submit them.
8. Only one entry per person.

Note: Yes, plenty of countries missed being named, just because trying to rattle off the world's nations off the top of your head isn't a simple matter. Any past or present country is fine...this list is just here to give lesser-known--but very cool!--countries more chance of being used.

If you need any information about any country, the World Factbook is great for a brief summary.

Entrants may choose any country that hasn't been used for their concept entries. Those that are not crossed out are available.

Woah-ho! A contest within a contest? You bet. Because we want a large variety of entries to pick from, we need your help! Those that are already in the possession of a LOTUS character, this is a great opportunity for you to put some extra gold in your pocket and get some brownie points from the staff. Those of you who are simply lurkers (or even the current entrants!) for the time being can participate if you're up to it. So, this contest is open to everyone and their mothers.

So what do you have to do? Simply:


: razz ost in the thread that you are interested in participating in this event so BA can put your name on the list.::

: razz ut a banner or link to this contest in your sig.::

::Get whoever you've referred to state specifically in the thread that you were the one to get them here. Otherwise, we'll believe the thread's charm pulled them here~::

But WAIT!


There are more rules. To ensure that there is no one just drawing people off of Chatterbox (I do hope this isn't going to be the case, as I personally would see whoever you refer as a reflection of someone you think is literate and fair), there are some more terms. When someone comes in, they must either:

::Stick around and post for a minimum of three pages (that means 45 posts in this thread by the individual, not everyone around).::

::Enter the contest.::

Fair, right? So get hunting! If you need a banner, you can take the one from the top of this page (be sure to link it HERE, not the original thread). The prize you're going for is 20k pure gold.
And another...
OPEN SESAME!
*stamps with stamp of approval*

Whhoooo!

Aw man. Tonight was depressing.
Is it more depressing than writing a linguistic paper? And the topic is kinda ambiguous in its explanations? ninja burning_eyes
Is Scotland not up there?

or did I just miss it.
You missed it. 3nodding (I know, it's confusing to see all those countries at once xOOO) And Scotland's already taken, BTW. =s sorry >//<
