Petitioning players of pariahs! Now is your chance to help your half-elf stand out from the crowd.
This is a verb messaging contest open to any player who has an at least somewhat actively played half-elf character on their account. These verbs will function like the wedding verbs, where half-elven characters can set the verbs individually to the default messaging or the messaging available only to half-elves.
Here's the rules:
1.) Contest entries must be emailed to me at GS4-ZYLLAH(at)PLAY.NET on or before July 15, 2008. (I will not be emailing confirmation of received entries.)
2.) One entry per account. The account must have an at least somewhat actively played half-elven character on it.
3.) One verb per entry.
4.) The entry must use the contest form provided below.
5.) There will be 2-5 verbs selected, depending on the quality of entries and how many verbs we decide to actually implement.
6.) Prizes will be given to entries selected for inclusion in the game. The prize will be your choice of a feature alteration or a custom tattoo. The prize must be collected by your half-elven character.
7.) We reserve the right to edit winning messaging for actual use in the game.
How the verbs work:
As stated above, these verbs will be available to all half-elven characters to use. They will be able to be toggled on and off with the VERB command so players can choose if they wish to use the default messaging or the half-elven version.
Almost any RP verb already available can be used (no new verb suggestions), but careful thought should be given to your choices. The verb should have some sort of logical relationship to the messaging. You should not choose a verb that already has built-in options available, such as GRIN. The messaging should be something that you think a significant number of half-elves would like to use, and not something that only suits your character. The messaging can be situation-specific, such as something you think a half-elf might be more prone to use when in Ta'Vaalor, as opposed to Wehnimer's Landing.
Please use the following form in your email submission. The subject heading of your email should read: HALF-ELF VERB CONTEST.

Zyllah
p.s. For Plat players, if your entry wins and your character exists in both Plat and Prime you can receive the prize in both instances, provided you want the same feature or tattoo on both versions of your character.
