ok..
Neocron, oh neocron, how I do think of you.
like a vampire sucking my life away,
you've left me with no clue.
im thinking along those lines "when he was young he had the gift to control both agressive modules and also passive modules" "however as time passed his agressive tendancies died down as he became more protective of his children and followers, choosing to focus on his protective powers to become the most powerfull passive monk ever able to with stand whole armies on his own to ressurect fallen comrades"
:) something along those lines.
if i get chance i'll have a think over the weekend need to be in a good mood to write a good story and atm i have my mind on other things

God was a Neocron Player
Of rare parts he was quite the purveyor,
He bought a Wyatt Earp
it barely made a burp
then he became its biggest naysayer.
I don't really have any time to write something new, but I might be able to squeeze out another Jack the Tank (http://neocron.jafc.de/showthread.php?t=106428) story. Not sure how much swearing is allowed by the T&C :D
Maybe it'll have to be about Eddy instead.

My opening paragraph, im up to two pages so far..
"The rain danced delicately upon the spys infiltration suit, finding contours as it caressed down his body before forming a small pool around his feet. The spy looked up for a moment, letting the rain hit is face. Lighting sparked in the distance as the flash wiped the sky white; for just a moment, he squinted.
A small Mech Turtle approached his foot inquisitively, the spy looked down with curiosity and picking up the turtle he placed it on its back, as if finding humour in the poor creature. "

That's very good. The competition is going to be stiffer than I thought :)
Some guide to length would be nice. NPC related stories are going to be wierd - they can only give so much text at once, so narrative flow will be tricky, and you have to contend with people being slack and lazy and giving up half way through. Do KK have a length in mind for this?

Sounds very good but try to keep it within a short story. The stories will be showed via dialogs and these shouldn't be too long. ;)
Working on a script at the moment - a set of riddles from an old psi monk, maybe senile or summat - any how - they're random but the answers are set - so I've got about 12 questions and answer sets down at the moment - I figured that you can talk to him and win something random if you answer a question correctly, like a couple hundred NC or a drug or a low level spell or summat (maybe one TL10 to 20 prize) - but the convos can be flagged so that once you've talked to him and answered all his riddles it defaults to something like -
" You have proven your wisdom - there is no point in me testing you any further."
so players just can't keep ansering the questions over and over - pnce all the questions have been answered - thats your lot
can limericks count as poems?
because they are really.

Well, ill post my finished story here as well as send it in, ive no idea if its actually what there looking for, but the clan loved it, and its a good read even if I do say so myself :p
(NPC) “Hey you, want to hear a story?”
‘The rain danced delicately upon the spys infiltration suit, finding contours as it caressed down his body before forming a small pool around his feet. The spy looked up for a moment, letting the rain hit is face. Lighting sparked in the distance as the flash wiped the sky white; for just a moment, he squinted.
A small Mech Turtle approached his foot inquisitively, the spy looked down with curiosity and picking up the turtle he placed it on its back, as if finding humour in the poor creature.
The spy stood looking into the distance, as if seeing something of interest, raising his right hand he armed his stealth tool, it crackled in the rain as it began to charge, in a cloud of electricity he had vanished.
Lightning continued to crackle over the sky as the spy took his stealthed steps away from the Mech Turtle. Running now, foot prints could be seen in the sodden earth, the spy stopped for a moment, two people could be heard talking; he moved closer inside the Military Base entrance, kneeling beside two Rhino Tanks.
In the far corner opposite the Rhino Tanks were two figures, huddled together, in long coats, conversing about some matter of importance; they looked impatient.
“Twilight Guardian?” he said to himself as he moved closer to them.
One of the figures turned and looked towards the Rhino Tanks, the rain beating down, obscuring his vision; he rubbed his hands together, and raised an eyebrow. In the distance, he could see the form of a figure moving as the rain etched the spy.
“Broker, we need to leave, there isn’t much time, we have company” he muttered, still following the stealthed figure; he corrected his glasses.
“What’s wrong sir? Do you suspect its..” Broker stopped talking, there was an eerie silence for a moment, “Come out spy, you can’t stealth forever!” taunted Hoffman.
The larger of the two men in weight and height, he held himself strongly, although he looked aged and travel worn, his partner, Broker, was smaller in stature, with a slender figure; the spy did not know the pair. They knew of him.
The spy was crouched now, he had forgotten the rain was still hitting his suit, stealth was useless.
“Ten seconds left on my Obliterator, time to test these fools” his body crackled with electricity as the timer hit zero, un-stealthed he leapt forward, Judge in hand, he rained plasma on the two figures.
“Shit! Hoffman, get dow-” Hoffman swung aside his large coat, with a push of his left hand onto Brokers mouth he silenced him
“Ill handle this, get into position” Wiping the Wyatt Earp from under his coat he brought his body to the side, and stretched out his right arm, firing with precision he hit the spy twice in the chest, his deflector taking most of the damage.
Hoffman crouched and rolled as plasma hit his shoulder; mud from the ground flew high as Hoffman kicked his heels back, with one hand on his knee he charged the spy; his shoulder in agony.
In a spark of ability the pair circled each other, taking hits after hit. Hoffman was losing, and he knew it, his Wyatt Earp was no match against a spy with such Psi Manipulation; especially this spy.
“I’ve got to do something” he thought to himself as he took a hit to the thigh, crippling his running ability.
Thrusting his hand inside his pocket, he reached for his key, avoiding another plasma shot, he aimed and fired, the explosive clip ripped through the air parting the rain as it smashed into one of the three eyes on the spys power armour.
The spy wailed in pain, holding his hand to his left eye; it was the distraction Hoffman needed.
“Time to leave” with a small press of a button, the ground began to shake, an intense sound echoed around the entrance of the Military Base.
“What th-” the spy looked up, soaring across the sky was what looked like some sort of plane, too large to be a glider, with efficiency it hovered stationary outside the Military Base entrance. It was Broker in the driving seat; he smiled at the spy as he armed one of the gattling cannons.
“Damn, he stealthed past me!” scorned the spy.
Hoffman limped forward and clambered onboard, he looked at the spy, and smiled as he waved; the sound of the gattling cannon starting up echoed inside the Bombers cargo hold.
“Ill take him down” uttered the spy with spite.
The spy hit activate on his Obliterator as the first shots from the gattling cannon thundered up the ground towards him, leaping to the left he hid behind one of the Rhino Tanks, breathing heavily he spun back to the right, and ran towards the Bomber, Broker, still firing randomly through the rain was comforted when he knew Hoffman was inside the cockpit beside him, unaware that the spy was now, in fact onboard..’
(NPC) “No one saw the spy again, some believe he was caught onboard by Hoffman and Broker, some believe he made it into the Dome Of York before the bombs hit, either way, there are still rumours that he is around the Dome, some also claim he was converted to fight for the Dome factions by Hoffman. We will never know!”

Yeah ive sent dont panic! :D
ok heres mine, if anyones thinking its fairly bad vocabulary remember the guy speaking is meant to be radiated and disorientated :p
the NPC:
i had it all you know, money, strength, power. I lived and worked with the best. its just *pause* terrible when people are so damn naive..
option : what do you mean?
i had the dream, i had the sight, but did anyone listen? no they didn’t, I saw it coming... the blinding light, the ear-piercing explosion, the smell and taste of burnt flesh, the soft red glow of the charred wastelands in the distance. I saw it all, there, in my dreams. but did anyone listen?, no.. all the lives lost, the mass destruction of all the buildings, economies, animals...people..
option: what the hell are you talking about?
Dome of York son...the city of the future, in my eyes anyways, it was all going so well, the nuclear launch of that missile against the canyon, such a success, celebrations...then it hit, the light.. so intense then the heat, the fire, the helpless employee's burning away in there own clothing, there agonising screams, oh my head..
option: how did you survive?
how do you expect me to fucking know that? i probably didn’t, or should i say probably wont, i can feel the radiation ripping my organs apart with every passing second, the blurs, faint.. light....
option: you need some help
:p

well through a quick read i wouldnt of picked up any of that :p
Maybe I'm getting cynical in my old age but my guess for the winner will be.
- Someone related to KK
- Someone who rips off someone elses work and colors it in.
- Someone who ignores the rules totally and makes a pile of crap that wins due to mysterious rules being added after the winning.
Failing that, they will ignore all the entries and pick something that was stuck under the bottom of the fridge for the last 3 months.

Nope, I think you're just been Cynical :D
I wrote something and submitted it, and was informed that no-one associated with KK was allowed to enter.. so stop worrying, start writing.
Its all good, see? ;)

Mail it to me and I'll write it in a different pen and put in comments like "I hope I get a DS for this" scattered through the story. I'm a guaranteed win then. :p
