Arctic brought it up as a joke after seeing one of my really long posts and I thought it was a good idea, Blitzy agreed, I told Sunstar about it and Arctic n I told Iro and they both agreed it was a good idea. So, I’m posting this for everyone as a fun thing.
Did I get your attention now? Good! This is a little friendly competition I thought would encourage people to get creative and raise the bar a notch or two for all of us. This is not a requirement or word count minimum rule so don’t worry about that. This is to reward those who type up long and well written posts and give us all a standard to live up to. I know when I’m presented with a challenge, it makes me want to try all the harder. With that in mind, this is what we’re looking at doing:
This is two fold, rewards for consistent high word counts in posts and an award for highest word count in a single post. For the first part, we have five main categories:
For the second part of this, there will also be a special award for the highest word count in a single post!
Now, this is not just about word count here, there are certain rules that must be followed to qualify a post for these awards:
5. Then there is content. The post must be well and appropriately written, following the storyline of the thread.[/ul]
As examples of this, we currently have four with who posted them and their Word Count Total (WCT):
So far, to my knowledge the highest word count in a single qualifying RP post is 2,810 words. The staff will judge quality of a given post to see if it qualifies for an award level, but to get into this, you must PM the staff members with a link to your post you wish to qualify with a word count total. This will help us to not only know who wishes to participate in this but also help us find those exceptional writers and RPers among us and give you guys acknowledgment for your wonderful efforts in making this site as successful as it is. I will be creating little icon awards for these soon, and each category will have ranks: earning you a stripe for every five qualifying posts in a given word count category up to a total of five stripes.
As I said earlier, this is for fun and hopefully encourage members to proofread and improve in their own writing, give each other little pats on the back for quality role playing, and perhaps raise the standard for the site. Above all, we are here to have fun, but why not use that fun to help improve ourselves?[/color]
