    *SIGH* Do you think they'll fall for me being an 18 year old? If only I was older...
    I think I'm gonna write a story about the main characters anyways. :)

    My bet is that if that there are no people under 18 allowed that you will have approximetly 0 entries, which in this case it will be easy to decide who wins huh:rolleyes:

    [​IMG] Hey, don't snap at me, I'm not the one who decided you must be 18 or older. It's Infogrames' beta testing policy. While it severely reduces the amount of stories that are coming in, I have no fear that I'll be able to select two good ones nonethless.

    Is there anyone, or any website, that can elaborate on the two protagonists that the contest wants people to write about?

    Can't you write the story and let your parents for example submit it? Then they can win the cd... and you can play with it :)

    You have to be 18 to do Beta testing. Besides- it isn't always fun either, the same game over and over again looking for little flaws- kinda tedious :( not cool.

    Marnie, I don't think parents would provide feedback on beta bugs.
    So this is not very advisable unless you can make them do it too! ;)

    [​IMG] C'Jakob, you don't need to know anything else. Note that you need to write a *fantasy* story. It doesn't have to hold true to anything else but that piece of text and the images that you're provided with.

    As far as I'm concerned, you can put Aribeth on a space station. There's no limit to what you can do. ;)

    [​IMG] Ex, why not just just play the beta and submit the bugs using your parent's mailaddress? When you have the beta, no one can verify if you or your parents report bugs :)

    I just know Shadow_Goddess is a good writer and it's a pity when she gets no chance to prove that:)

    So what you're saying, Taluntain, is that in anyone's story, Neverwinter can be in the middle of a jungle, laser guns have been developed, and that the sky is green. But Aribeth has to be a paladin and that Aarin needs to have dark skin.

    C'Jakob, if that's your story, sure, why not.

    C'Jakob. You could even have freaking Sharks to go with those laser guns. Attach them to their heads and wish that they are ill-tempered...
