POSTING CONTEST - CLOSES NOVEMBER 19 Posted on November 12, 2025 at 11:57:48 PM by pippa
Hello everyone! We are excited to announce that we are holding a posting contest!
The basic idea is that you get points for every post you write, and the players that have the most points by the end will win prizes.
RULES 1. Every in-character post is worth 1 point as long as it is at least 200 words long (note-style posts do not count).
2. Threads in a territory that involve two or more residents* of that territory (played by different players) are worth 2 points once per player per thread. Players may only gain the extra point for the first 2 threads they are involved in within that territory, provided the threads are both with different players. Subsequent posts will be worth the usual 1 point. This bonus may extend across multiple territories. Threads between residents and non-residents will be worth the usual 1 point per post.
Example: I post an open starter. Love replies. My first post would be worth 2 points for me, and Love's first post would be worth 2 points for her. Once I reply again, my reply would be worth 1 point for me. I then start a second thread with another player within the same territory. My first reply in this new thread would be worth 2 points for me. If I started a third thread, my posts in that thread would only be worth 1 point.
Posts made in existing threads within a herd may also receive this bonus, provided all other participants in the thread are members of the territory.
*Note: to count as a resident, the name of the character should be listed on the territory's board.
3. Every valid raid and escape attempt (regardless of the outcome) is worth 5 points for everyone involved, from the point it is initiated, up to and including the block. This is for the raid as a whole, rather than for each individual post. Any reaction post that follows the block is worth the usual 1 point. Please be sure you follow all relevant rules regarding raids and escapes, such as clearly stating "raid" or "escape" in your subject line, meeting the minimum number of words, and avoiding post comings until after the raid/escape has been either blocked or successful. Any raids and escapes that do not follow these rules will not be valid and will receive no extra points other than the typical 1-per-post.
4. To participate, simply reply to this thread and tally up your posts and points over the next week. Make sure that: 1) you provide a link to each post as evidence so that we can check the totals are correct before we announce the winners; and 2) that you password protect your post so that you can update it as you go.
PRIZES The winners of the contest (first, second, and third place) will each win a perk of their choice. These perks cover just about every aspect of the game, and include advantages in battles and raids, protecting your territories, and in customizing any future foals just the way you want them. We will provide the full list of available prizes when we announce the winners. Those who win the prizes will have them permanently listed on the legends page for future reference; these are struck through once they have been used.
We are also including a raffle for fourth place, meaning simply participating will enter you into the chance to win a perk! The fourth place winner will be drawn when the others are announced, and will pick their perk once the others have.
This contest will run for a little over a week's time, starting now and running until midnight (board time) on 19th November 2025. Any posts written after that point will not count toward the contest. Please be sure you have all your posts tallied up and links listed before then so there are no delays.
