I had a similar topic on the old MBs, and found it very useful, so please continue to give me your suggestions for competitions. Please note, however, that we can't promise to use everything that is suggested.
---------------------------------------------------
We already have the following ideas lined up for after the RoS:
- DS is going to try running a debating competition
- Kaiann has suggested a rather cool kind of real-time writing competition that we'd like to get set up
- We're going to try and introduce more of the SW universe to the MTs
Any other ideas?

I may not be Krath, but here is an idea. Have you considered giving out marks for good posts in a Run-on and tallying them at the end, see who does best.... something of that sort?
Dark Sabre
01-02-2005 21:14:11
umm... clarify FK.
Fire-Knight

Have a run-on where Lannie, or another ranking Krath member is in charge, and have other people join in. On each post a person makes, mark them on the quality of their post, the number of spelling errors, and number of gramattical errors. Make the post out of maybe /20 and find the percentage the person recieves. Do the same for each of the posts the person makes until the end of the RO. Then tally up each persons percentage and find an average, whoever makes the highest score wins.
Alanna

That's not a bad idea... although we might have to limit the post length. If each person in the RO is competing against each other person, we'll end up with essays
Dark Sabre
02-02-2005 09:53:41
*cough* Goat *cough*
That is actually a good idea. But rather than necessarily a competition, it can be sort of a runon and writing workshop. Or we could do both.
Fire-Knight

Fine by me. and i'm glad I could be of assistance. I'm just suprised my idea is actually being considered lol... i never have good ideas.... *walks away stunned*

What about an ongoing epic story involving Lannie and me?
Actually, I have an idea for such a thing, but it would require more high ranked characters with some sense of humour and drama.
Someone has to counter the overly present name of the oracle in stories

heh - something like "Write a 10+ page long story based around DB characters of DA rank and above"?

How about a comp writing a complete life story, from either a autobiographic, or biographic point of view? Would be interesting to see what some people write about their pre-DB past..
Uzbad
06-02-2005 16:41:28
That is a good idea, but alot of people have already writen one, or are writing it now. It makes it too easy just to submit that, and it isnt fair to people who only have the pre-set time frame.

Taking that autobiography idea... how about writing a script for an autobiography show (not unlike those on Lifetime, A&E, History Channel, etc)? You get to pick what celebrit(ies) talk on your show, what they say, everything... might be kinda cool.
Nilani

*imagines* Oh that'd be awesome >:)
Theres been 'uncomfirmed' reports of the DC creating a new flagship. Of course we all know its coming, so why don't you hold a competition where you describe the ship inside and out. Weapons, systems, aviaonics, interior, exteriors, and everything inbetween.
I find myself a very mechanically oriented krath, and a lot of the fictions I do submit, i try and keep true to my personal tech. base. Grading could be on descriptions, how complete it is, cretivity, but not accuracy, just so we can keep every ones ideas somewhat original. Sound good?

Yes, that's a nice idea. We don't do much technical writing because I'm not very mechanically oriented, but I'm sure one of my Ms would be well-versed enough to run and grade something like this. I shall think about something like this...

I don't entirely get what you mean, but like... write a transript for a made-up 'this is your life' kind of show?

we could each pick a one month period in the Emperors life when he was a young pup, and write about what might have heppened, what his thoughts were, what his goals were then, did he find love, did he have hobbies (other than galaxy domination). I myself always wondered did Palpatine ever ride horses at his birthday parties as a child (or fambaa in his case).

M'Lady forgive me if we already do, but I don't think that the Krath as an Order have a logo. Maybe we could start a comp to design one.
Also a story comp about my torrrid relationship with the stunning Krath High Priestess :$

And there is a logo.... I think Arania was going to fwd it to me cos I thought I had it in my e-mail somewhere and then couldn't find it. I'll chat to her again about it - thx.

Personally, I'd like to see more events featuring Master-Apprentice pairings.
Arania
18-02-2005 13:53:33
Actually Lannie it's in the Krath CORE exam, I think. One of the Krath exams anyway.
Oh, yeah.. before I forget... kills Sephiroth No touching the KHP.
Dark Sabre

/me pokes Lannie and runs away giggling.
Yeah there is a logo... I don't know where it is but I think I made a crappy banner once featuring it...

Cookies! *grumble grumble* lucky guard peoples... they get all the good stuff.
Anyway, how about we have a competition similar to the Test of Wisdom, only changing the minimum to five pages. Lannie and all of her Krath Priests/cookie-earning-minions would judge them. Since they'd be the judges, I'm afraid that would keep them from entering.
Telona
26-06-2005 01:49:24
Heh, no I think Alanna would like to enjoy her retirement.
Alanna
26-06-2005 06:37:16
That sounds ok, although we should probably substitute 'Telona and all her minions' for 'Alanna and all her minions'... because I don't have minions anymore :mellow: Maybe I can entice some back with cookies..... >:)
And I don't mind helping out with grading, but that's Telona's area now, so I'd only get involved if she was after more graders.

Forgive for being a little lake on the starship disscussion, but the Krath flagship lokks kinda lame (no offense, I'm Krath too). maybe we could have a comp for a new flagship.

Sounds like a cool idea. If you don't mind my adding my frosting to your cake, since we're Krath and all, the applications should come with a brief history of the ship. Of course, whether or not it's used at all is up to the KHP in the end.

Krath vrs. Obalisk SWG war
silverRaven
27-06-2005 11:51:59
I couldn't do that because Korras USED to be Krath and my acc master. And now hes OHC. He only changed to obbie cause of the position he was offered.
Callus
27-06-2005 12:41:49
so? just beat him in SWG then you can do the thing from ANH
"When I left you I was but the learner, Now I am the master."
"Only a master of Evil...." yadadada you know the story
Malus Maximus
27-06-2005 12:46:12
Guys, let's be realistic. The Dark Council would never aprove a war between two of the orders.
Callus
27-06-2005 13:42:12
of course they would it would be bloody hard to organize but it could happen. but if you guys realy are anxious for action wait for the GJW that gets things happinin
silverRaven
27-06-2005 13:59:52
Yeah I am very anxious for the next GJW!!
Malus Maximus
27-06-2005 16:58:54
Ah yes. Boodshed is fun. But the Dark Council isn't fond of events where the orders try to exterminate each other.

Says who? It is the nature of the Dark Jedi to test ourselves to insure that only the strongest survive.
Xhedias

Yay, the Obelisk and Krath can fight eachother to extinction while the sith smite them while they are at their weakest. Sounds like a plan to me...

Precisely my point! And even then, eventually the Sith would suffer, for without warriors to command (Obelisk) and wise wizards to share the secrets of the Dark Side with them (Krath), the final order could not possibly be achieved. All it would lead to is a third civil war. The consequences would be similar to that of The Other's rule. And while we squable amongst ourselves, the New Republic would rain in prosperity, perhaps evetually taking over the ruin that Antei would be after our demise. Friends, I do not think you realise what you are suggesting.

sith fight cheep... jkjk but this battle could bring apon the end of the krath or obalisk and then the sith would take over when we wipe eachother out but the dark council would probobly let us do it , it would be a gigantic battle with storm troopers, jedi knights, wookies, it would be like the battle on the wookie planet that yoda faught in in episode 3
p.s. is it ok if i use this sig? it has cuss words -_-
Alanna
28-06-2005 04:41:58

No, I'm afraid it's probably a bit too far. Maybe you could put *s in the cuss words to make them less hard hitting? Or change it to 'I say bad words a lot'
Or 'I say poopiehead a lot'
Shinichi Endymiron K

You said poop...hehehehehehe
Callus
28-06-2005 12:39:32
Xhed when did you make SWM?
But anyway the war could happen we have the KRoS SW and somthing for the Slobbies. It would be a matter of seeing who wanted to play and getting them to sign up and then just going after it.
Callus
28-06-2005 12:40:53
oh yeah it's not like we'd really exterminate the people. I'd just be for fun geez. You guys think the people'd really get removed? It's just a game.

Have you even read the part of the Dark Side Compendium that expllains the rain of all of the GMs. It talks about the last to Civil Wars DJB had. It wasn't pretty.

Sato Khan
05-07-2005 00:14:20
Don't quote me on this, but according to the best info I have there are no current plans for a GJW. With rebirth, and the IGs there is no flex time for such a grand scheme. Besides there have only been a handful of these wars in the past 10 years.
Telona
05-07-2005 19:57:50
Yeah there won't be a GJW any time soon. They are time consuming to develop, impliment, and judge. Just enjoy what's out for you all to do and when the next GJW comes around you'll be ready for massive participation.
