NOTE: THE PEARL CONTEST IS NOW OVER. The winner was TM for his masterful Kill Self, Win Prize.
The Pearl Contest (now completed) was a short themed contest for both Blades of Exile and Blades of Avernum. The idea was this: design a scenario around a specified plot point. That plot point is the pearl. Scenarios were judged on general merit and also on how well they handled the pearl.
The pearl for this contest was: you are ordered to execute someone. All scenarios had to reflect this in some way, although elaboration was obviously necessary. The context was up to the designers. But the scenario had to include this plot point in some way.
Entries had to be submitted by December 1st at 7:53 pm Pacific time, which was 10:53 East Coast time and 2:53 am on the following day GMT.
Discussion (if any should prove necessary) should be directed to the Olympia thread on the subject, and questions can be posted there or e-mailed directly to me at the same address.
