Contest:New Cabin Contest

  New Cabin Contest



Ok, so for months and months, pretty much ever since we added the last round of cabins last summer, someone always asks or brings up wanting to add more. As there are hundreds of Greek gods, it isn't realistic to add endlessly, as so many scopes and powers overlap. Not to mention a handful really can't have cabins for various reasons.

Well for a special contest, a one time only event, we are going to let you guys compete for a new cabin idea. The rules however will be strict, and it will not be easy. The Admin team also reserves the right to call no-winner, in the event that the entries don't really meet the requirements.

I know the criteria and rules are harsh, but if you take this seriously and work hard, we might consider running it again in 6 to 12 months, but ONLY if you take this contest seriously and really put in a good effort.

Criteria
'''The criteria and rules may seem harsh, but adding a new cabin is not something we do lightly, and therefore must be taken very seriously and must have a good amount of effort put into this. As I said above and stress again, the Admin Team reserves the right to DQ everyone, if no entries are reasonable.'''
 * 1) God or Goddess
 * 2) What does their cabin look like?
 * 3) A list of powers (though if it wins, the Admin team reserves the right to tweak, reword if deemed necessary. The idea here is to just have a general idea of powers you think would work for the cabin. They don't have to be perfect, as long as they are workable, we can tweak to make sure they are worded perfectly later)
 * 4) As part of winning means you get to be head counsellor, you must have the character done up as well.

Rules

 * You must be at least a level 5, or becoming a level 5 prior to the last day of the month.
 * Only one entry per user
 * Entries must be in by the 29th in order to qualify.
 * It cannot be someone who can't actively have kids. So gods/goddesses like Atlas, Kronos, Oceanus, Ouranos, Gaea, etc. Basically anyone that is faded, dead, cut into a million pieces, in tartarus, exiled for going against the gods, etc.
 * If there are minor overlaps of gods/goddesses who already have cabins, that may be overlooked, but any major overlaps will cause it to be DQ'd. For instance, we have more than enough wind gods, love gods, and fear/terror type gods.
 * Their scope should be something that gives room for good powers. For example, if it was a goddess of childbirth, and nothing else. Let's face it, you might be able to scrape up a few power ideas from that, but it won't be many and it'll probably end up a very un-popular cabin. We don't need un-popular cabins that are always almost empty.
 * 1) It must be a Greek god/goddess. If you aren't sure, Theoi is the best source for all things Greek

How Voting Will Work
For this voting will be a two-step process.


 * 1) The first round will be between admins and bcrats only (any who have not entered the contest that is). We will sort through and decide if any (or maybe all) should be dq'd.
 * 2) If any remain after the first round, because this effects the entire wiki, we will put the remaining entries up for a wiki wide vote. The vote will remain open for 2 days. Whoever has the most votes at the end of that time, will be the winner. Only level 5's and up will be permitted to vote. If there is a tie, it will be broken by an Admin team majority. If only 1 entry remains after the first round, we'll still hold a poll to see if the wiki likes the idea and wants it as a cabin.

Prizes
The winner will:
 * 1) Their character will count as a minor character
 * 2) They will have a whole month as head counsellor where no one else can challenge

The Runner-Up will:
 * 1) They will have to go through claiming, but they will have the Lt spot reserved for them, if they want it, and will also go unchallenged for a month.
