[MoEnt] Creative Writing Contest & WW
Ministry of Entertainment
Hello!
Inspired by this article (which must be inspired by the lack of Spam on the shelves?) We at the MoEnt have decided to pick up the suggestion made in the comments and run an eUK Creative Writing Contest!
In order to enter, publish an article with your story, PM it to me or type it up on Drive for sharing.
A panel of THREE EXPERT JUDGES will review each entry and choose a winner. The winning author will win a cash prize! (Info below).
Judges and prizes!
The three judges will be: Eerte (Author), Sambo223 (MoEnt) and The president, AMD. The winning entry will be announced in Eerte’s newspaper.
There is a prize pot generously contributed to by Sir Humphrey Appleby, Eerte and the gregarious Minister of Finance. The size of the prize will scale up depending on the number of participants:
1-2 Participants - 50k prize
3-5 Participants - 100k prize
6-9 Participants - 200k prize
10+ Participants - 250k prize
Rules:
You must be an eUK Citizen to participate.
You must author the work - any hint of AI produced text will be judged with extreme prejudice!
It can be as long or as short as you like, but remember we have to read it.
Entries must be made by day 5786 (Saturday 23rd).
True to form we cannot helps ourselves at the MoEnt… so it is time for another Where’s Woldy! (Trademarked). Simply comment below where you think Mr Woldy is today, and 50Q7 guns will be on their way to the first three people to get the right answer.
In the meantime, watch out for any Gov shouts and games moving through the national feeds and watch this space.
Thanks,
Sambo223 (MoEnt).

The photo is of Norwich Market, so he's probably around there.

1) First of ALL i was quite upset that the CONGRESS members rejected my proposal of donating 400000 GBP to THE Ministry of Entertainment .
2) The proposal was not a joke.
THERE IS ONLY 1555.00 GBP IN THE ACCOUNT.
so where are you going to find ALL THIS CASH PROMISED ABOVE 600k when there is only 1,5 k in it?
3) I proposed the donation to SHOW THAT IT IS EMPTY and to show that MONEY NEEDS to go in it. https://www.erepublik.com/en/economy/citizen-accounts/1350454
4) I do wish to enter the writing contest but all this of having to SEND it or type it up on Drive to Sambo223 is not my way of doing this. My article will be available in the normal form as it is show for everyone everywhere.
5) I am in no rush in WINNING the contest , even though the (possible ,non existing cash ) prizes are very appealing.
All the VOTES and COMMENTS that I will get will still exceed the participation in the other articles that will be available.
I was and still think that the Ministry of Entertainment is a scam or being scammed or lost all the money or someone took the money or it disappeared , even though i can not be sure for this as i am new in the area and i do not know why it has only 1,5 k in it and why the others are scared to add another 400.000 in it and rejected it.
Best wishes George.

We (Turkey international newspaper, see my profile) will publish the winner's entry for the first time. After this they are free to publish it in their own journal. They will keep all the rights on their own creative work, quite naturally.
As per the prize it is quite real I assure you: I'll chip in 50k, I believe Appleby contributes 200k so there's your maximum prize of 250k. I let MoEn to correct me on this point if I'm wrong.
All explained here: https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/congressman-woldy-s-alternative-budget-2771807/1/20
You can ONLY propose donate laws for things that are in the BUDGET as agreed by CONGRESS.
(see we can all do random capitals shouty stuff 😛 )
"You must author the work - any hint of AI produced text will be judged with extreme prejudice!"
this is a personal attack
Trust me by experience I've grown quite acustomed to the hint of AI work. I sense them from 100 km away 🙂
I am not sure or clear of what you are trying to say. If it is about being original and Mine then in that case my article will be a normal article just like the ones i write. If i don t get judged properly or if the judges are very different in opinion about what a GOOD ARTICLE is ...then i will just to make do with the 60 possible votes i get and the possible 50 comments. I am not that worried.
As for the ''this is a personal attack'' i still do not understand what you are trying to say. I assume it means i would be attacking the real author if the article is someone else's work.
I think you misunderstood Addaway's humorous comment. He wasn't even gunning for you.
How do you know you will get 60 comments even before publishing it?
I know i will get 60 comment because...you were just born in the game and you do not know many things about me, my ALIVE eFriends in the game and the articles that i write... Ps. sorry but i deleted a few days your friend request and still have not accepted your new one for personal reasons . It would be wise for you not to try talking a lot to me because I ''flip'' and ''turn'' and take things the wrong way very easily. This would lead to a Block from me to you so take it easy.
It's ok I'll just preemptively block you 🙂
Have a nice one!
I have blocked you too. so jinks
I love how a creative writing contest brings people together
They are after a piece of proper creative writing, not just a "georgeRant"
Market Place, Norwich I guess
Nice contest but I can't understand why simply don't let people publishing their own articles... Something as "all articles published between day xxx and day xxx are eligible for the contest"
Published works will be considered for sure the publisher will just need to send us the link
With this article I enter your contest.
