I was one of those people who worked for a day then stopped that Fry is referring to.

Well, eitherway, I imagine some people will tryout for this and help - if not I doubt it's a big deal as they could do it themselves, but it would be nice for people who want to help to do so. Could lead to a permanent position maybe.

I like the RP letter idea too

Looks like a contest to scam some levels outa people since they dont have anyone to do it "good" themselves. But eh who knows ill give yea the benefit of the doubt and say your just trying to make a little contest to promote the server.

If you do not consider the rewards (physical or satisfactional) worthwhile or otherwise aren't interested in participating, then don't.

By the same logic, I'm getting "free work" out of my developers, too. And they aren't even getting nifty prizes. Who is getting the better deal?

Plus it has many things scripted and graphically done that well haven't really been incorporated into Graal as of yet.

He's just offering a suggestion.

I really wasn't trying to be mean at all with my above statements. I was just trying to say that when you do a contest you offer more then a tiny prize on the server. Throw in some money for the winner. You would have lots of people entering it.

I'd rather appeal to kindness than greed.

You hit the nail on the head on a few counts there.

It's just a small path off on the far side of the world.

So? Most new servers don't have ANY built-in playerbase! Perhaps because they're new? Graal2001, at it's rerelease, and especially after IIO, will have new content, balanced graphics, and some of the most exquisite levels on Graal a grace de Haunter. If we already have a group of players waiting to play in addition to influencable new droves, isn't that more of a good thing than a bad?

Versus didn't really strike me. I haven't seen anything that wonderous from it, but I also don't work there, ne? No offense to Wan, the Overworld is quite good, but it just dosen't seem...memorable? I don't know. Its just a certain je ne sais quoi.

1)Considering you have no idea what the prize is, I'd say your argument there is falacious.
2)The One and Future King of Servers.
3)Unless you're good and new. Then your argument falls out the window, the window, the second story window.
4)Indeed.

VS vs 2001 for RP! Let's kill Valikorlia with a spoon!

Well guys after talking to Lance it seems I was wrong in my assumptions. He has alot of stuff planned for future rounds of this contest and I shouldn't of bashed him. Since I talked to him these contest seem like alot of fun and it's a good thing to start early because it might help you later on in other contest.
