EOFF Olympics: You are the generics

[Slothy]

I'm late getting this up but so be it. This shouldn't be an extra long event by any stretch. I'd imagine we can get it done in short order. What is the event you ask?

Simple; you're going to write a story from the perspective of a generic character. This story should be about an event which took place in the game. The generic characters may be mercenaries and cutthroats, but they've never been given a voice until now.

Your entry shouldn't be more than a couple of pages in a word document preferably so that things will be easier to judge. I'll give some leeway and say five pages tops though. Entries will be judged based on creativity and entertainment value.

Straight forward? As much as it gets. So get to it.

Deadline is Saturday, October 13, 2012.

xD

[Slothy]

If that is your entry then you lose Quin. I should dock your team points for how terrible a read that was.

[Raistlin]

Oh I like this game! I will be really busy the next couple of days with a trial, but I'll try to type something up after that.

[Jiro]

smurfing hell. I've not played this game enough (yet) to do this well in terms of canon, tone or anything like that, but I'll give it a smurfing shot.

EDIT: I know you say 5 pages, but I'm going to shoot for an ultra short story, flash fiction almost, and it says points for creativity and entertainment but I'm going to aim for accuracy. I could make it comedic but Raistlin might flay me for tarnishing such a great game's reputation.

[Slothy]

Five pages tops Jiro. But the longer they get the more likely I won't read 'em.

[VeloZer0]

At which point you will have to assume they are awesome because of how much effort was put into them?

[Faris]

When's the due date?

[Slothy]

When's the due date?

This is what happens when I get sick. My mind starts to go. More than usual anyway. Ideally I'd like them all by [strike]Friday[/strike] so I can get through them on the weekend.

EDIT: Actually, let's make it Saturday so anyone who needs that day to work on theirs can.

[Jiro]

Give me til the 15th plox.

[Slothy]

For you buddy? Sure. But no later. I've already let Boko down enough by dragging all of my stuff out too long.

[Raistlin]

Sweet! I have a chance to do this with the extended deadline.

[Slothy]

I expect great things. Do not let me down you two.

[Jiro]

Do I post it or send it to you?

[Slothy]

Sending it to me was fine. I'll just post it later when I have the chance to read it. I still haven't seen Raistlin's yet, but since I won't get to reading them until tonight he's got until, probably 8-9pm EST. If I don't have anything else by then you'll win by default Jiro.
