All events listed below go until November 17th.
This thread contains the non-run on event details, and it will also serve as a place for us to offer ideas for other writers in the run-on, which will be judged by Maxamillian von Oberst. Rules for the run-on will make up the first post on a separate topic. These competitions are for all RO volunteers and non-RO volunteers.
Remember, we are looking for shards of the Crystal of Tears, and we are on the planet Samur, near the Spires. Information on the Crystal of Tears can be found in two of the Clan run-ons on the Tarentum message board,
In the Shadows and
Of the Past.
Stand Alone Events
1.
Tears of the Shards (Cestus Only)
The Shards have a strong presence in the Force, and akin to it, they have two sides. One side adds to your strengths, empowering you to do great things. The other side simultaneously unlocks the shackles that bind your metaphysical deformities (i.e. madness, paranoia, and hallucinations). Write about your character finding one of these shards, and how it affects you and your comrades in this quest.
The story must be one page minimum, in standard 12 pt. font and preferably in .doc format, though .txt format is also allowed. E-mail your submissions to QUA Apollo (
anubisdb@aol.com) and AED Scion Altera (
scion@divineright.org) and CC your House leaders.
2.
The Last Letter (Gladius Only)
The Vong have attacked the joint expedition. The losses have been heavy and everyone has been wounded at least once. There is a small lull in the fighting. You believe their full attack will come at dawn. You are on a hostile world with just the small group of Tarenti around you. You believe this is your last night alive. You search through what little belongings you have left and discover a small datapad. You begin to think of home and your friends. In your final hours, write home one last time hoping to say goodbye and to tie up any loose ends.

3.
ACC
Fourth level crescents will be awarded to the three people who win the most battles in the ACC's QUICK SKIRMISH hall. The battles must begin during the week of the competition. All standard quick skirmish rules apply. If judging takes a little extra time, that's OK. Report all your matches to Scion so they can be counted up.
The skirmishes should use the following parameters:
Hall: QUICK SKIRMISH
Your Weapons: Lightsaber if you have one, other weapon of choice if you don't have one.
Terrain: Spires of Samur
