2008 Creator's Day Random Character Contest
"At different times you may enter the Drakalor Chain,
And these times may bring some loss or some gain,
The end of the year is celebrated with drink,
But on the day after you'll be too tired to think,
On the eve of the Lord's birth you may see a lucky star,
But on Friday the thirteenth you won't get far.
And Creator's Day is by far the best date,
For on that day you'll receive a smile from Fate..."
-- The Mad Minstrel
July 2nd (this coming Wednesday) is TB's birthday, and we know this well because all characters generated on that date begin with the Lucky and Fate Smiles intrinsics. So, time to abuse this for another contest - a simpler, more traditional one this time. Every player creates a random character on this date and tries to win the game in whatever way they like. Post results of your general progress here and we can all compare how quickly we die in spite of the extra luck.
Rules:
-Don't generate the char before July 2nd. If you come too late or are busy on the day then you may change your PC clock afterwards to generate a competing character. Entry is closed on July 13th.
-Random starsign, random gender, random race, random class, random attributes (just to be clear!)
-No save-scumming. Only one attempt.
-Post initial char details here when you generate it. Give updates whenever you feel like it, but try and keep any updates to just 1 post - we don't want the thread flooded with uneditted vlgs. If you want to post a full victory or death file use the separate YASD and YAVP sub-forums and link to it with a summary.
-No holds barred - you want to use piety abuse, dragon gold, gremlin bombs, whatever, then that's up to you. Play how you like, though be honest about it of course.
There will be a high score table put in here based on points achieved, but as we all know that has very limited meaning. The whole point is to have fun, and to maybe end up trying a class you're not used to. Oh, and to laugh at each others' deaths of course. Best of luck to everyone!
