THE COMPETITIVE EDGE: October 05, 2009

Comtraya Cestus! (if you dont know what that is, youre no nerd-friend of mine!)

So I know for some of you this report is coming in on TUESDAY which means its technically late but I dont care muahahahaha! Anyway, let me quickly make you informed about the competitions available this week so I can go back to watching crappy reality tv on VH1 instead of actually studying.

COMPETITION NEWS

Obersts competition has started and you should all be dusting off your gaming discs to take part! I dont expect too much competition from Tridens or Gladius so yall SHOULD sweep this. Dont disappoint! Also, I know its not competition news, but, as Runofi already pointed to, the new Cestus fiction is up. Oberst has gone so far as to say that he likes it which, coming from Oberst, is an immense compliment. You should all be reading it! I might make a quiz-competition about the new fiction in the next week or so!

Your task is to write a poem describing a strange apparition you have seen on the VSD Corsair. What does the "ghost" look like? Why is it here? And how did it come across us? The poem can be any length, but submissions will be graded on imagery, structure, and originality.

(Blank) is to (Blank) version 2.0 by Ronovi Tavisaen

http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4568

For four weeks, your Quaestor will submit you to a weekly test regarding general Brotherhood knowledge. Once again, you will be working with analogies. One example would be as follows: "Anshar is to Consul as Oberst is to ____" Hopefully you would answer with "Proconsul" - though the analogies won't be that blatantly easy.

Like last time, weekly points will be awarded based on the correct answer given as well as a first come, first serve basis. The person who answers the fastest with a correct analogy will receive 4 points; the second 3 points; and the third 2 points. Anyone who at least participates on time but does not get the correct answer (or is not one of the top three fastest submitters) will gain 1 point. Keep in mind: THERE WILL BE NO RETRIES.

At the end of the four week period, the one with the most points will earn a Legion of the Scholar.

The Jack-o-Lantern Jamboree by Vai Azexel http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4521

It is that time of the year again boys and girls, the time were we all get dressed up in scary (goofy) and frightening (mail-order) outfits and go trick or treat that neighbors (party).

One of more fun aspects of this holiday is getting a pumpkin, cutting it open, ripping its guts out an chasing your wife with them (wait, thats me, sigh), and then getting your hand on a big sharp knife and cutting holes into it. Now, Ive seen some of the art work that has come from Cestus and I can only imagine what you could do with a Pumpkin.

At this LINK youll find a Pumpkin to carve using a different style of knife, you mouse. So show me what you got. Carve up the Pumpkin, capture a screenshot (JPG please), and then sent it to me. Who knows it may earn you a shiny crescent.

(PS: I hope the HTML works Vai UNMs email provider is really poor and my knowledge of HTML is very limited I copied exactly what you had)

Costume Party by Ronovi Tavisaen http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4524

Your task is to describe a costume party held by Cestus, whether

through a story or graphics (even as simple as Paint). Who comes to the party, and in what costume? What antics are to be had at this celebration? The story can be of any length, and the image from any program (or drawn from scratch). Submissions will be graded on the usual quality and originality factors.
