Behind the anonymity of the internet, I'm not too proud to admit I have a weakness for reality TV. I really love watching people trying to accomplish nearly impossible tasks in ridiculously short periods of time, stressing out because they are forced to work with each other, competing, losing, winning and crying; I get a kick out of all of it. So, it seemed like a great idea to put together a little competition for the players on Aardwolf. 

     The official competition dates will be posted on the Games board no later than one week after this issue is released. During that week, any interested players are encouraged to submit a note to Gaardian on the personal board to express your willingness to participate and a (hopefully interesting!) brief bio. We may publish these to allow the spectators to get to know the players better but, sorry, you're probably not getting your own blog. Not every applicant is guaranteed acceptance, but the window for applications will close early if we are able to accept our maximum amount of eligible contestants.

About the Competition

+ A minimum of 8 and maximum of 17 players will compete in several challenges over a three week period of time. A panel of 3-5 judges may decide challenge winners, or eliminate competitors in some instances. Judges will also organize, manage and expedite challenges. If you are interested in being a judge, contact me directly. The judges panel may consist of both permanent and guest judges.

+ Competitors The top prize will be determined by both the amount of competitors beginning the competition and certain challenge results up to the finish. It'll be big enough to tickle your happy spot, to the tune of 20+ TP.will participate in both team and individual challenges, and may be eliminated by either a judge consensus or a majority public vote, depending on the challenge. Voting will take place at our reception hall voting booth. Majority public votes will have short windows! Don't let your friends lag on their voting! Competitors will be progressively eliminated until the final two battle it out head to head for the majority public vote.

+ The top prize will be determined by both the amount of competitors beginning the competition and certain challenge results up to the finish. It'll be big enough to tickle your happy spot, to the tune of 20+ TP. The final 3 competitors will all receive prizes, but there will be only one Aardwolf Unreality Champion.

+ Some challenges will require players to be able to participate in real time events. We can try to work towards scheduling convenience for all, but applicants should be prepared to participate in challenges lasting a few hours. There are no fees or charges to apply, but some challenges may require funds to be raised/spent. 

+ Competitors and judges are expected to manage their behavior as best as a reality competition allows for. Cheating in a challenge will result in disqualification. Every challenge assumes all universal MUD rules and policies are followed.
