I find myself logging in less and less, frustrated with the "bro-code" and commonplace delaying which has taken over the server pretty much every time I try to play some mount and blade. To lighten my weary spirit I am hosting a contest in which cRPG players make lighthearted videos of a fictional event.*
The video can be any length/style and will be graded based on creativity, craftsmanship, humor, and general quality. On or about July 31st I will choose one winner and award its creator with a grand prize of 250,000 cRPG gold.
Please post a response to this thread with a youtube link to your video. See the spoiler for details on what the video should portray:
What the video should show:
2 red-clad warriors stand in the center of a bridge. Their 3 allies do valiant combat with a single, mighty foe at one end of the bridge. At the other end of the bridge is the evil ghost of a horse archer, who despite being ephemeral and not directly part of the world nevertheless looms over the combat taking place. The malevolent ghost winks at the red warriors near the center of the bridge and then turns his back. A green knight swiftly crosses the bridge and, despite being obviously hostile, he salutes the two red knights as he passes; they salute back and grin as their foe crosses the remainder of the bridge. At this point the evil ghost should laugh maniacally. Continuing on, this phantom foe strikes down the 3 other red team players. Finally, the ghost and the remaining players jump up and do a slow-mo-4-way-high-five. Or get into a hot tub together and make a back rub circle (or something equally strange evoking a sense of joyful togetherness.)
* the event I will describe is fictional in nature and any similarities to factual occurrences are purely by coincidence. Members of Raven are disqualified from receiving the prize but may submit videos in the spirit of competition.
Suggested style of video: Picture book style sequence of images with narration, flash animation, live action, etc. Anything goes as long as its entertaining!
