Nexros Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 If this goes well, I'm hoping to gather more people for judging and dramatically increase the rewards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zolgar Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Is this limited to one entry per player? I mean some of us could spam you with, literally, hundreds of entries of our own. Always happy to answer questions in game, typically hanging around Help. Global is @Zolgar, and tends to be tagged in Help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not one of the judges, but I am trying to limit it to one entry per account, preferably ONE ENTRY PER HUMAN. Honestly there's no way to stop someone from making dozens of accounts to submit dozens of times without me being the wiser... But I'm hoping the community isn't that obnoxious! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those other accounts are a Nemesis plot...it makes me wonder if Zolgar is even your real name.

Blackbird71 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 So I'm running into an issue: I'm copying my backstory directly from my bio, so I know it fits there, but the in-game email says it's 26-146 characters over the limit (the amount varies each time I try to send it). Would you accept a submission in two parts as long as the story itself fits the bio character limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you accept a submission in two parts as long as the story itself fits the bio character limit? Of course! I'm aware that the email limit is shorter than the bio limit :( Just do a subject line like "Competition part 1" and "part 2", or something similar. As long as it's coming from the same global name, it's very obvious and I'll paste them together for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 So I'm running into an issue: I'm copying my backstory directly from my bio, so I know it fits there, but the in-game email says it's 26-146 characters over the limit (the amount varies each time I try to send it). Would you accept a submission in two parts as long as the story itself fits the bio character limit? It's also an old bug with how they made the in-game text editor, I believe. several characters (like the second space after a period) are converted to htmlencoding ( ) but it's SOMETIMES counted as just a single character, SOMETIMES is counted as all. That can add up over the course of the edit. Some of my CoH stuff. Old and newish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-Six Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Is @Nexros your global name? I'm on a different shard, but GMs say email to global name will cross shards. My Toons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justicebeliever Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Is @Nexros your global name? I'm on a different shard, but GMs say email to global name will cross shards. It is his global name and emails to global handles cross shards.
