FINALISTTotal Entries: 7RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS:Q: Can my men fight "Shadow Force" troops who have magical weapons?
A: Yes. For phase II, the sky is the limit on what your troops may encounter when invading the mysterious magical islands. Who knows what kind of fell beasts have taken up residence or been conjured by an evil sorcerer in those shadowed lands....
A twist on this could be that there are actually "good" magical beings on the island, but they have had to flee there to escape persecution. Maybe there is a fairy castle being defended by sprites mounted on unicorns who fight with flowers ! Anything you can think of is pretty much allowed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: How many builds can be used for each phase?
A: Only ONE build per phase. If you need more than that to tell your story, you'll have to enter them in your faction as free builds, and they will not be considered as part of your entry, nor should they be included when posting your entry to this thread, so as to avoid any confusion.
Also, only one entry per phase per person (One entry for phase I, one entry for phase II).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: For the continuation of my character's story I would prefer to stay in the Northern Lenflad, Southern Garhiem coastal area. My question is, do we have to travel to the Magic Isle in order to participate, or can we stay on the mainland and fight?
A: You certainly could spend phase I sabotaging Lenfel preparations, and I suppose you could portray your character fighting somewhere other than the magic island for phase II, though your wizard probably won't be as effective since magic isn't as powerful on the mainland as it is on the magic islands (the reasons for this have been shrouded in mystery and speculation for generations).
The main thing is to keep the general idea of the challenge in mind when building. Voters will likely be more preferential to MOCs that fit the theme, but generally just about anything will be allowed to be entered as long as it fits the general theme.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q1: Can we extend the deadline of phase I and just allow both phases to be posted anytime before the final deadline?
Q2: Why don't you accept entries for phase 2 right now? I might not be at home in the time when I would have to post it, so I couldn't participate.
A: The idea behind having two deadlines was so that the contest would "feel" more like an invasion. It's just a lot cooler for everyone to all be preparing at once, and then everyone all attacking at once. Also, just an idea, but if people saw something that they really liked from another builder in phase I, maybe they could integrate it into their story for phase II, for example.
If there are special circumstances that limit your ability to enter at the deadline, talk to your FO and see if they'd be willing to post your entries for you on your behalf. Alternately, you can always take your pictures early and then post them later from another computer or smartphone or something like that. If you really can't make it work, then you also have the option of only entering one of the phases. You are NOT required to enter both phases to be eligible to win the grand prize, though obviously you both increase your chances of winning and also earn maximum points for yourself and your faction if you enter both phases.
I hope that helps.
Q: So how powerful would you say magic is on the Mainland? I mean I'm not trying to raise the "Big Bad Skeli Armies of Chaos" here, just a few smoke and mirror tricks
A: Magic on the mainland is pretty limited. A few poofs of smoke and some minor illusions are OK. Some of our mages guild members have even managed short bursts of levitation. I'm not going to tell you exactly what is/isn't allowed, so just try to stay in the spirit of the rules.
