This is the sign-up thread for an event which is to be held on Sunday 15th May at 3pm Eastern [8pm UK]. Registration will remain open for a couple of weeks.
Fed up of the constant catfights between Sara Dale and Queen Zen? Angered by the constant “mirror, mirror” spam that Shalimar throws out in general chat? Do you think that Freja should be on the cover of the next issue of Playmage? Well now, at last, the question of who is the fairest of them all can be put to rest as we present our first official shard beauty pageant. Ladies who enter will be appraised in four areas and she who finishes with the highest score will be crowned Miss Siege 2011. And just to ensure a fair competition, we will be bringing in independent judges from outside the shard with a mixture of 2d and EC clients.
The contestants will be assessed in the following categories, although should there be a high number of entries it may become necessary to have an elimination after the first one or two rounds:
Evening wear - Like all ladies, those on Siege will want to look as glamorous as possible when needed. Here the contestants will be judged on overall appearance in their finest clothing including coordination of colours and accessories.
Talent show - One cannot rely solely on looks to survive here on Siege; every lady must be able to earn a living in some other way. Each contestant will be given two to three minutes [time to be decided once entry list is finalized] to demonstrate some talent, be it dancing, telling jokes, poetry, animal training, feats of magic, or whatever. Judges will be looking at the overall competence and originality of the display.
Combat wear - Every lady on Siege must be able to defend herself when needed. Here the judges will be looking for those that can appear both fearsome and glamorous at the same time. Beauty and the beast indeed.
Personality - If all else fails, a lady can always try charming her way out of a sticky situation. Every contestant will be asked questions by the judges. Scores will be based on clarity of speech (that is spelling & punctuation, with allowances made if English is not a first language), humour and cheesiness of answers!
Prizes for the event are being furnished by our main sponsor Max Painfactor, Sosaria's largest cosmetics company. In addition to awarding the lady crowned Miss Siege a one year contract to model its new blusher range for vampires, the company will be promoting the new Magincia Number Five fragrance by awarding her a plot (E4) in the city.
Entry Requirements:
Characters must pre-register to enter. To do so, please post here with your character name and your current title (the area, place or institution that you will be representing). Acceptable titles are your guild (e.g. Miss Myth, Miss Outsider); a player or NPC town which you live near, frequent or have some connection to (e.g. Miss Vesper, Miss Wispwood); or an area/dungeon/island that you live near, frequent or have a connection to (e.g. Miss Despise, Miss Twisted Weald, Miss Marble Island). Gilfane members may also use their House name (e.g. Miss Silvanus, Miss Vernia). Titles must be unique, so you may not choose one which has already been taken.
