Community Events
Christmas Story Contest
Voting is on vote now!

Hello everyone! You may remember previously MCGamer held a contest for Halloween, asking people to come up with creative haikus regarding the holiday. Well, now we follow it up with a Christmas Story contest!

So what you must do, is create a story, be it funny, fantasy, etc. that is Christmas themed. This story will be read, and judged by me and a group of fellow moderators. The top 3 stories will be named on December 15th, and then you, the community will decide on who the winner will be! The results of the voting will be given on December 25th, and the winner will receive Iron donor on MCG (Or the price of it, if you do not want it)! You can make it as long, or as short as you want. If it is over a page, please just give us a pdf file. Here are some guidelines that MUST be followed, or else will result in automatic disqualification.

- Be appropriate. Make sure what you are posting is not breaking any rules. And I do not want to see any Shrek Christmas stories. (Well, maybe I do. But here is not the place for it!)

- Do not insult other members in your story. Only include them if you have their consent.

-Do not plagiarize.

- You may only submit up to 3 stories.


We will be judging you on 3 categories.

Creativity/Originality- Check, is your story original? Does it stand out above the others?

Interest- Does your story capture the readers interest? A good way to convey this is through humorous stories.

Theme- Is it really Christmas themed?


Good luck to everyone! Can't wait to read your stories, get writing!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE RESULTS ARE IN:

We have picked our top 3 stories! Those of which will be moved on to the voting round!

In this round YOU, the community, are going to vote on which story you like best! The person who gets the most votes by Christmas, (December 25th, 2014) will be our winner! This date may change if needed. I would like the thank EVERYONE who entered, this was an extremely hard decision, all of the entries were great!

Here are the 3 you can vote for! (No particular order)

1. Giggity69Goo



2. KorStonesword



3. Akash754




GREAT JOB EVERYONE! GET VOTING! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The map will be completely secret until the event so noone has a map advantage.

The Deception Games isn't just another tournament event though, it will be much more, the key to winning the Deception Games lies in Treachery and Betrayal, only one can win but picking your allies wisely may lead you to victory. The Grand Prize for the Deception Games will start at a total prize pool of $50, although this may not be the final prize of the event, we will open the Deception Games to Backers which will be explained later and can increase the total prize pool of the event.

In the Deception Games you will be rewarded for betrayal, for a 20% reduction of the prize pool in the event you win, you can sell out a team mate to the overseers which will result in them being heavily disadvantaged (what will happen to them will not be disclosed) to be eligible to sell someone out, you must have been previously observed by an overseer working in a team till you at least fight one other player together, if it is unclear you are teamed, they will not be eligible to be sold out by you. Also you cannot use this betrayal if you are the last 2 players alive. (Note- a 20% reduction may seem like a large amount, but if it secures your victory by using it at the right point in the game, it will be worth it)

Before the Deception Games begin, all tributes will be gathered and given time to work out alliances, each tribute will be given 10 unique blocks (for instance one user may have red wool, this will indicate it is their block and all the other tributes will have a different block type) these blocks are each worth 10% of the total prize if you win, you can trade these blocks with another player to buy their allegiance. For example. Say tribute 1 gives tribute 3 a total of 4 blocks to buy their allegiance, in the event that tribute 1 wins, each of his assigned blocks will be worth 10% of the prize pool, so tribute 1 would get 60% of the prize pool and tribute 3 would get 40% of the prize pool. These block trades can be used to solidify an alliance as for instance if a team traded 5 blocks each to each other, it would lessen the reasoning to betray as even if you are betrayed you still get 50% of the total prize pool. All trades will be enacted in a private room from the other tributes with an Overseer to validate the trade. Choose your alliances wisely. Honesty cannot be bought. Betrayal can.

Here is a breakdown of the elements of the Deception Games:

Map:
The Map will remain secret until the event!

Overseers:
We will choose a group of "overseers" to watch over the games, the overseers can have no physical input into the game and are purely there to make sure players do not breach any of the rules and to solve any disputes players have (for instance if someone thought someone was hacking an overseer will have watched it)

Fighting by Proxy:

If for some reason a tribute cannot attend the Deception Games, they may choose another player to be their proxy player, this player will become the tribute in their stead, but the prize will go towards the original tribute (it is up to the original tribute to give the proxy a part of the prize upon their discretion). It is completely within the rules to use the Proxy system to make it more likely to become a tribute, for instance you could get two friends to also apply to the Deception Games who don't want to play and in the event you do not become a tribute but they manage to get voted high enough, you could play as their proxy player.

Rules:

1/ No Hacking Clients

2/Attempts to Ddoss other players will not be tolerated

3/No Bullying of other players in the games

4/Do not attempt to Rig the results of the Voting for tributes

5/Do not block glitch

6/Do not escape the map in any way

7/Do not exploit any glitches found

8/Follow Overseers instructions at all times

Backers:

If you wish to help support the event you can add a donation to the prize pool, for instance we have started the prize pool at $50, if 5 people donated $10 then the prize pool would rise to a total of $100, so there is more to play for, making the game more interesting. What do you get for being a backer? After the event we will leave the map open for the backers to fully explore for an hour, so you will get the first chance to find all the best chests and develop the best chest route. Also if you intend to apply for the second Deception Games, being a backer of the first Deception Games will mean your votes in the voting stage will be tripled, making the chances to be in the second Deception Games, incredibly higher. If you want to become a backer send Ninetailefox92 a pm on the forums and we can sort it out.

Any Questions? Feel free to send me a PM and I will answer as soon as possible
