[FF Fun] May Event!
 
May event: Create an NPC Quest Script/Dialogue!

Prize:

400s + yellow tag for a month that says "Scriptwriter"

Deadline:

2 weeks from the time I post.

5 June 2009, 7.39am.

So, what do we have to do?

This contest is about creating a story for an NPC (in Fiesta) by writing a script/dialogue between an NPC and a player, in which that story leads to a quest for the player.

As you will know, players sometimes get to choose how to respond. You may also include this in your script, but please include only ONE story (i.e. do not make the player have two choices, and each choice leads to two different stories). Reason being is that we would like to keep it simple, and each quest usually has one story anyway.

Rules:
  • Please PM your entry to the any active mod (me, Loveless, Yosei or Rightclaw).
  • Word count: approximately 50-600 words. Doesn't have to be exact, we can provide a bit of leeway, but don't go over the limit too much. Only words part of the story counts (e.g. "Storage keeper Kyle" and "Player choices" from the example below does not count).
  • It has to be realistic in terms of Fiesta. Please do not make up things like "go and kill 10000000000000000 helgas!!!". It should be reasonable enough that it won't be "weird" if it's implemented into the game.
  • Quest can be for any level.
  • You may use a general NPC, or you may use a specific NPC.
  • Please don't have any inappropriate content for the younger eyes in your dialogue, despite what some NPC says in the game, lmao. Do it for FF!

[Lame] Example:

Storage keeper Kyle:
Ah my face is ugly!

Player choices:
1. No it isn't.
2. Yes it is.

Storage keeper kyle:
1. I want to get a beauty coupon! Can you help me?

Player choices:
1. Yes.
2. No.

Storage keeper kyle:
1. Yay! Please help me with blahblahblah.
2. You so mean.


Something to that extent. You will notice how the NPC will either not respond to the second response or say something that will "end" the quest dialogue, much like what happens in-game. You can use that above lay out, or you can make up your own, as long as it is clear and concise as to what the lines respond to in terms of player choices.

Voting:
As usual, if we get lots of entries, we may select the top few entries for voting. If we don't get a lot, they'll all be up for voting.


Got questions that we haven't covered? Feel free to ask!

I forgot to add that. Just pretty much a rule that should apply to all contests. xD

Zwivix 05-22-2009 02:52 AM

Oh this one looks fun! I always say ill enter but never do D: I really wanna try this one.

Hessah 05-22-2009 03:08 AM

I wish I'm creative!!!

Might put my thinking cap on when I procrastinate at work...

Sparkeh 05-22-2009 04:40 AM

Event yay. <3

Can i put 2 NPC's in..?

Cause i still remember LoT Quest..."Uruga is in a war"

I'm in.

Blaaaaaaaah 05-22-2009 06:44 AM

Hmm... yeah you can have two NPCs in. I haven't thought about it but I don't see any problem with it. So yep, you can.

Oh, I forgot to add in the actual date. Added now, along with a countdown clock.

Blaaaaaaaah 05-24-2009 08:51 AM

Bump, one entry so far!

Hazu 05-24-2009 10:48 PM

I might enter! I can find time, this seems like alot of fun.... but planning camping trip andother stuff x-x and cook outs rawr.


:3 interesting event btw~ can't wait to see the enteries~

Kenryuu 05-25-2009 05:16 AM

oooooooh!! cool I might enter ;D

Hessah 05-25-2009 05:51 AM

How creative can I go?

Can I make up interaction with things at a map?

Example... you know the talking crystal at Burning Rocks? Can I make up that you can talk to something else, that... isn't actually interactive in game, but it's there in game?

Blaaaaaaaah 05-25-2009 05:58 AM

Hm well if it's not interactive.. probably not? You can use it a "prop" (the crystal), but if you can't talk it in-game, then it shouldn't be able to talk to you.

I guess we're looking for things that will follow what we have in Fiesta closely. I don't think we can classify a stone/crystal/etc as an NPC since it's not a character, just an object.

Hessah 05-25-2009 06:09 AM

Ohh okies...

Sparkeh 05-25-2009 12:25 PM

Umm....Grammar error spelling are counted too?

Like we need to fix them? x3~

Blaaaaaaaah 05-25-2009 12:30 PM

Yes, most preferably. We're not asking for entries with complete perfect grammar and everything, but capitalization, commas, fullstops, spell checks, all the basic things should be done.

d0n'T type liEk diz or something that is unreadable, or your entry may be disqualified.

Sparkeh 05-25-2009 12:32 PM

But some ppl like me dont like do grammar...?

Will they get DQ too? o.O;;

I don't actually know alot of English grammar~ Then again i dont know how i might not do it when i type..

I know arabic's ^^..

Blaaaaaaaah 05-25-2009 12:40 PM

Even if you don't like grammar you'll have to do it for the entries...

Like I said, it doesn't have to be perfect. But it's usually more appealing if you have the correct grammar/punctuation/spelling.

Don't use abbreviations like ppl, u, etc. Use full words. People, you, etc. That shouldn't be too hard, right?

But if you have difficulties with English, you should type it up in MS Word and run spell check/grammar. Select English as the language, though. Not sure if your Word is English by default.

If all else fails, then I can look over to see if I can correct any minor errors (punctuations or spelling) for you (only if it really looks terrible, and that you have really tried). But judging from your posts, you'll probably be fine.

As long as it's not in 1337 language, it should be okay. But, having good grammar and punctuation would just make your entry more appealing, which would benefit yourself.

Blaaaaaaaah 05-31-2009 07:06 AM

Bump! About 4 days left. Still 4 entries so far.

Square Root 06-01-2009 03:05 AM

oh and when there are votes will you be announcing whos whos? Or will it be anonymous until the winners are announced?

Blaaaaaaaah 06-01-2009 04:41 AM

Both entries and votes will be anonymous until voting is over.

I'd like to reveal who made what entries but I should PM the people who entered one just to make sure it's okay to say so. xD
