Hunting Again
Hello Chaos! Many of you have been pining for another Staff Event and today you're going to get your first teaser of the next one on the docket. Without going into too many details, I am here to announce we [[member="Valiens Nantaris"] and I] will be running a competition to help build the main stage and planet for our next upcoming event.
The Competition:
Your task is to create a planet on the very edges of space in hex 11 horizontal, 6 vertical. This hex contains only the custom planet ‘Mnencheiasus’.
The planet will be the key location for an upcoming event. It is a largely unknown world occupied by the Sith though their presence there is mostly a secret.
This planet and the system may have any system features, moons or star layout you wish.
These are the conditions for the planet submission:
The following are up to you to decide on:
Each entry will be judged on the following criteria:
You have until Friday, September 9th to get your entries into the Codex.
Entries must be fully approved by no later than Wednesday, September 13th, 11:59pm.
All members, including Codex and Factory judges are eligible to enter the competition. Forum Staff is not. All entries must be made to normal Codex standards.
If you have any questions about the contest please ask them here and be sure to tag myself or Valiens. Good luck!
