I decided it would be nice to play a game with vocabulary as this is a writing . I also decided that it would be nice to enforce it with prizes, mainly monetary, but other prizes may come if this begins to get popular.
There are two main goals of this.
the first goal is to learn new words and to use then. growth as a writer is important. No matter how small.
The second objective is to motivate people to post more. the more time you have a chance of using a word, the more chances you have of winning.
The rules are simple.
Every Monday, I will post a word here.
Every Friday, I will announce a winner.
Your job as player is, after announcing your intent to play in a round, to use the word in one of your role playing posts.
The words may get hard, and they may get bizarre as we go on, but expect the prizes to get sweeter as well.
You Can't use it in OoC.
Don't expect me to roam the thread looking for them. Post the page you used it on at least. More details on your discretion and they help me out a bunch. Otherwise I can CTRL-F to find the entries.
Entries are only valid if posted up from 12am on the Monday of contest start, til 10 o'clock pm on Friday.
I accept friendly competition, and you may have as many entries as you can have valid Role-Play posts per week.
your posts will be voted for and chosen as 'best' based mostly on most creative use of the word. After that, for over all post quality.
(feel free to move this if it is in the wrong thread.
I didn't want to post in the contest sub-forum
because the corpses in there seemed to be
dead longer than the corpses in here.)
