Writers’ Challenge VI: Sh(changes)It Happens

Day 1,241, 20:39 • Published in Canada Canada • by Plugson

The Writers’ Guild of Canada is sponsoring the next round of the Writers’ Challenge (formerly managed by DAL). So far we have had 5 rounds of WC come to pass, and I would like to thank those who have participated and the judges who helped mark all the entries.


Now for a look at the great moments of WC. Sorry to say the competitors in this challenge may feel like fish out of water with the new media module changes

The winners up to now have been:

WC Edition I: TemujinBC’s “Ad module lost, a better world?”

WC Edition II: “Ask questions or shoot: Which one do I do first again?”

WC Edition III: ??? (I really have no idea – somebody please tell me)

WC Edition IV: Wolfgang’s III’s “Realizing Truth”

WC Edition V: Kilgore Trout 89’s “I am NOT Kilgore Trout 89



For WC VI, the topic (a bit apt, considering) is about changes. Or rather, to be specific:

eRepublik: eVolution or de-Volution?

WC Instructions:
-Get your articles published by midnight on April 18th, Day 1,245.
-Put a [WC] tag in the title
-Keep it under 750 words if possible
-Win big (well, not all of you can)

Current entries:

Lincoln 6 Echo’s “The primordial soup was better when it was warm”

Supabeasty’s “Admin Deleted Article”

(hope to see a little more competition before contest-en, an easy 5 Gold or more!)

Today we say a fairly major d/eVolution in the media module. So far as I can tell, it has resulted in a much more rich and complex media….which, judging by the lack of comments and votes, is being even more ignored by the general gaming group out there.

We have risen so high but have so far to fall. So much has been built into eRepublik by the players and its administrators, yet we may wonder what direction it is all taking us.


So how long before the current “Awkward Age” comes to an end?
Will it take another V2 Ice Age?

Let’s end off with a couple quotes to whet your creative instincts:

“All evolution in thought and conduct must at first appear as heresy and misconduct.”
--George Bernard Shaw

&

“Our degeneration, when it is traced back to its origin in our view of the world really consists in the fact that true optimism has vanished unperceived from our midst.”
--Albert Schweitzer

Oh, and Muglack wants you to listen to this tune:
