The home site can be found >HERE<, but here's the quick version: This is a MASSIVE inter-fed event that EVERYONE is eligible to join! The only restrictions are that no staff of any fed are eligible to throw their hats into the ring - so Manifest Destiny will be sadly lacking in Kelli's presence. The good news is that for the purposes of this competition, "staff" refers to administration and RP graders/voters, so any of you folks who've dabbled (or done some serious time) on the creative team as match writers are still totally eligible to join in! Intrigued (or at least still reading)? Let's continue. The rubric and rules of the event(s) can be found >HERE<. There's also an option for one of the main organizers, Boardwalk Wrestling, has also offered to do on-air commercials in any fed podcasts (like the PCW Pulse, eh, Andy D ?). Still with me? Good! A Ghost in the Wind and Nathan Saniti have both signed off on the idea, so we're good to go! Application protocol will be posted here as I discover the info. I hope to see at least a few of you join in! |

I checked that rubric link, and I feel I should point out 'Believability' is one of the scoring categories. Anyone familiar with the PCW roster knows that will be something to keep in mind.

To sign up, all you have to do is take your existing character bio and paste it into the Participants Forum on the Manifest Destiny page! |

Well, I had been meaning to plug this on the last couple of shows and forgot like a fool. I'd happily take and play the commercials for Mike (head of boardwalk), if he can get them to me.
I also know that you should put PCW in your bio thread if your signing up. Winning not only gives you a cash prize and the fed a cash prize (for domain names and stuff). Free agents get both prizes if you feeling cruel and greedy.

I still have to wonder if that disqualifies me as well, since I'm a staff member. On edit: Never mind. I answered my own question. On second edit: I checked that rubric link, and I feel I should point out 'Believability' is one of the scoring categories. Anyone familiar with the PCW roster knows that will be something to keep in mind. So, you're saying I shouldn't enter Saniti? |

From what I know of the larger e-fedding community (which ain't much, folks, I'mma be honest with you here), believability usually means less "Follows all known rules and laws of our own physical universe." and more "Can you make your off the wall shit seem plausible within the context of your work?" Then again, the judges may prefer just real world mimicking stuff. I'm really not sure. xD (helpful answer is super helpful) |

I entered Saniti. HOWEVER, if enough handlers from PCW are interested, I will bow out to give them a chance.

People need to hurry. They're only allowing 4 from each fed. HOWEVER, as I stated there, I will bow out if more than 2 more want to join in on the fun. (There's also the "Free Agent" option, though.) |

This sounds really interesting, but I feel like I'm too rusty for something like this. Good luck to those who enter, though. I hope someone from PCW can bring this home.

You don't know until you try. I hope one of use brings it home too, if for no other reason that the money for the domain names. I can tell you this though: I know at least two of the people signed on that aren't in here. The competition will be no joke. One of them I have NEVER beaten. He's a beast with both story and trash talk. (Good thing I entered my weakest trash talker. SMH) On Edit: I counted the participants so far as of this post. There are 49, which only leaves 15 slots left. Better hurry, folks! |

It should also be noted that there are 2 RP's of 2500 words (max) per round, so we should keep that in mind. We're not used to that here. (I've done it before. The best way to do it IMO is to split story and trash talk at 1250 words each, but I dunno what they might be looking for in criteria, so don't take my word as gospel.)
