Ok...so with Conforums shutting down, I realize this put a damper on our contest. We had to temporarily stop the whole thing to save all of our work from the previous site along with so many other things. While we probably still have a lot to do, I DO want to take this opportunity to try and get the contest started up once again. At the very least, to get the wheels in motion so we can all get back to having fun. However, there are a few requirements I'm going to need every participant to do along with a couple of changes that will be implemented as a result of Conforums sudden move.
For starters, our contest is going to remain as it pretty much was. We aren't going to extend sign ups to new participants and are only going to be working with the teams that DID sign up before the deadline. However, for those of you that DID sign up for the contest, I have something very important I'm going to need you to do...
In the next week or so, I'm going to issue a bit of a row call. I need to know that the participants in the contest are all here and accounted for. I'm not sure who has transferred over, and who hasn't. So in the next week, what I need you participants to do is just to make a post here in this thread letting me know your member name (if it's changed), and that you are here and ready to participate. The list of members/teams are include the following...
Official Teams:
1. SoftScales & Sleepwatcher - Status: Clear!
2. yumthegreat & Cydonia921 - Status: Clear!
3. Perilous & TheBigSqueeze - Status: Clear!

Again, I need all of these members to just post in THIS thread letting me know you're here and that you're still participating. Even if I know you are on the forum, I STILL need you to post here and let me know. If you changed your username, please also let us know that. We don't have a database of everyone's username, so we don't know who is here and who isn't. If you made the move over to the site and are still up for participating in the contest, let us know here as soon as possible and we will cross you off of the 'missing list'.
Now then, after both you and your partner have confirmed your move here, you guys are free to start working on your contest entries again. I'm sad to say that...there is no way to move role plays from point A to point B without recreating them... So what you'll have to do is manually transfer your stories over to this site one post at a time... It's a daunting task, I realize and I'm sorry for it... Thankfully it was early enough in the contest that most of us didn't get THAT far. There is one thing though...
Remember that while you ARE committed to your partner for the duration of the contest, you don't necessarily have to be to your project. I am NOT saying you have to take this route, but if you wanted to drop your current project and start a new one, that would be perfectly fine. Regardless of what you choose to do, all we require is that you put CE (for contest entry) in the title of your story so we know you are submitting it and proceed working on it accordingly.
One last thing I DO want to cover is that there is going to be a small extension to duration of the contest. Mind you, this is ONLY because Conforums closed on us and we only have two weeks to save our beloved role plays and transfer our contest entries here... Because of Conforums literal two week notice, we are going to extend the contest duration by that same amount of time. So instead of the contest ending on June 30, 2018 as originally planned, our new final deadline will be July 15, 2018. This gives you guys an extra two weeks to work on your entries we are losing trying to finish things up on our old site.
I highly advise all of our members to use these next two weeks to save their work from the old site. Our contestants need to use this time to start transferring their work over, or starting their project anew; whatever they decide. Even with the two week extension, you guys still only have 3 months to get your entry done. So make sure you are putting in the proper amount of work and time. This is most likely the final extension that will be made on this contest this time around. Everyone is advised to use their time wisely!
So that is pretty much it! I just need our participants to let us know they are here and still participating by simply posting as much in the thread. Even if I know you are here, you will be required to do this. If all you wanted to say was "Hi, (So-so) here! I'm still participating!" That's all I'd really need. Just let us know you are here and once your partner does the same, feel free to start on your contest entries once again!
Let's get the ball rolling and get back to having our fun! Write to me in this thread as soon as possible! Happy RPing!
