Rules:

1. One entry per person (not per character, not per account...) Please play fair

2. Must fit in the in-game bio section.

3. It must include your character's name and account handle. These do not count toward you character limit.

4. Competition ends October 14th.

How to enter:Β 

Join the Order discord and paste your story into the #story-competition channel. https://discord.gg/JXvxz2K

No, it is open to all! That is why the global handle is important.

This is probably going to sound a bit tetchy - "how dare you set conditions on offering me 80 million inf!" - but why Discord?Β  I went there a few times when it was the big source of info on Homecoming, but I never took a shine to the layout, etc.Β  Why not post them here?

My apologies! In the past few years Discord has become a sort of one-stop-shop for gaming communication almost universally. I made the assumption that most users would already be familiar with and have an account on discord. There's nothing wrong with posting here on the forums, but I was hoping to encourage more live communication about the entries in the general channel (#general)

No need to apologize, you're allowed to do things your preferred way of course.Β  πŸ™‚Β  If I can get some time this weekend (and can tear myself away from ToT leagues), I'll look into it my account and upload something there, thanks.

Well! I'm very sad to announce that this contest is cancelled. We've had a total of 4 contestants. During our first competition we had over 50 submissions within 1 week.Β I'm not sure if the servers population has declined or if this kind of event is simply no longer interesting, but it's pretty clear that this will be our last backstory competition. Thanks for those that participated!

I think allowing entries to be posted in the forums, through private messages, or even email would probably have garnered more interest. Β I know I didn't send an entry when I saw the discord requirement, at least.

I also would have jumped at it but I dont have discord (dont even know what it is tbh, but I dont need another channel forΒ communication and discussion and whatnot) so I just assumed I was excluded..
