gogoblender 3,073 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Carolyn Hacker has posted in the SIF news of a contest that features new video footage with each installment in this trilogy. Contest Announcement First of 3 Contest Videos Discussion thread on SIF Best of luck to everyone who partakes! gogo Follow the steps of the Shadow Warrior - video story trilogy event Hello Heroes! It's contest time again, this time around we're doing another writing contest. Not just another writing contest though, there's a twist - you'll be writing a story to accompany a short trilogy of videos. Please note that these videos were made specifically for this contest, so the content is specifically captured for the contest rather than videos to highlight the gameplay or world. I can hear you now "that doesn't sound tricky" - but the catch is that the videos will be posted at weekly intervals, and once the new video goes up you can't edit your story for any previous ones. So you'll need to be really creative and leave it open-ended enough to carry forward when the next video is posted. It might be helpful to our participants if you speculate about what will happen in the next video in the discussion thread. Summary and Video Schedule: April 22 - 1st, submissions accepted. April 29 - 2nd video posted, submissions for 1st video closed, 2nd video opened. May 06 - 3rd video posted, submissions for 2nd video closed, 3rd video opened. May 13 - Submissions for 3rd video closed, judging begins. Judging will be done by a panel of Ascaron representatives. May 27 - Winner announced. Prize - Winner will receive a Sacred 2 T-shirt. You can watch the 1st video here, post submissions for the 1st video here and discuss the entire contest here. Here's a sample story for the first video to stimulate your creativity: Quote: For many years he ruled the battlefield, he fought, slaughtered and won battle after battle for his sovereign. He deserved his well earned rest in the golden halls of fame. But the High Elves had different plans. Torn out of paradise, there was only one thing left for the Shadow Warrior… one single thought, that made his unnaturally extended life worthwhile. His family. A long journey lies ahead of him. So many years have passed since he left this place. Will the elders still be alive? Will his brothers still recognize him? Will…? But wait… what is this? Silently the warrior moves nearer and his dead eyes meet the corpse of a cow. Slain by a fork? The deadly silence of the town quickens the feet of the Warrior, and then he sees them. Everywhere the floor is filled with the bodies of the town guards, the corpses already so worn away by time that identification is impossible. All marks of the battle have already vanished into the dusty sand of earth. “You go! This now our town be!” barks a deep voice from the side. One Orc warrior jumps out of his hideout and takes up a position in front of the Shadow Warrior. “The rotting stench from your mouth is the only thing you own!” growls the former soldier. The fight is short, the squealing Orc provides a short sensation of satisfaction, but it is not enough by far to ease the lust for revenge in the Shadow Warrior's dead heart. Like a gleam in the darkest night, the sunbeams reflect in the old sword of one of the dead guards, right next to the former soldiers feet. The Shadow Warrior takes it. “You will regret this!” His long journey to find revenge starts. One Orc after another falls to his rage. Not a single Orc warrior can stand against him, not even the best! But still… the Shadow Warrior's need for revenge is not satisfied. Where might his journey lead? Enjoy!

Schot 407 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Nay, lol. Sorry guys but those are not allowed for this contest. I'm afraid I need to take those links down in order to preserve the spirit of the contest and it's intended flow. Original post of MoscowGolem's has been removed and links edited out. To watch videos related to this contest you'll need to follow the links gogo provides in the first post. Link to comment
