We didn't do it on the exact anniversary, but first and foremost I feel the need to say happy first anniversary, Broken Destiny! In celebration of this milestone for the forum as well as a stress reliever and a way to give the members of the forum a bit more fall fun where they might be denied it because of the circumstances of the real world at the moment, I present you with:
1-, Firstly we have, The Tales from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber- What is it it that separates an every day happenstance from terror? Context and hyperbole. In this event, players will be grouped into teams and write a collective personal saga for their team topping out at 1,000 words per team member. The saga will be told in the style of an 'else-worlds' story akin to the Simpson's 'Treehouse of Horror', stories, and can be canon to the character's story on the site or more of an otome, this will be determined by the players participating. I may or may not frame it as an IC event of telling horror stories around groups – and if we had already released the HBTC we'd likely host the event there. I may also, depending upon opinions of things, use a 'God of Destruction'-esque being as a sort of Tales of the Crypt style storyteller, and write up a small bio of said character to allow players to use him or her as a narrator framing device for your story.
Keep in mind there is not a limit on how little must be written by team members and this is meant to be an edited sort of story featuring the characters written by the team participating. Players are encouraged to edit it as a group and write it as a group.
The team which receives first place will each receive Dragon Ball shards, as well as other rewards to be determined. The top four teams will receive bonus rewards, and all participating members will receive participation rewards.
Secondly, we have Fabulous Fall Fable Festival- in addition to this personal saga/short story contest, we will be hosting a mission writing contest, where players may submit 100-250 word briefs spooky/halloween themed missions (or if they want to go for a fall harvest feast vibe or winter spooky vibe they're welcome to as well). In this contest, players will be allowed to enter as many prompts as they wish – but know that players will vote on their favorites in a Shounen Jump style 'top 20'. The players with the #1, #2, and #3 ranked mission prompts will receive Dragon Ball Shards as well as other goodies. The people with the 1st and 2nd most submitted mission prompts will -also- receive Dragon Ball Shards as well as other goodies. As with the Tales of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, all players will receive participation prizes.
Finally, we have Baba Yaga's Goodie Bag, which you can find details of below.
In addition to this, every player who has been here more than 6 months will get a yet to revealed prize, and every player who originally joined 12 months or more ago will receive an additional prize.
