The Crossroads of Shadowbane site is holding an interesting new contest for the upcoming MMORPG Shadowbane. In an attempt to get serious feedback to the makers, Wolfpack Studios, before the game goes into beta, they are looking for people's opinions on what should and shouldn't be in the game. The lucky winner with the most clear response will get a beta tester account (assuming they aren't already in the beta). Here's a bit more info on the contest:

What to do: Contestants are to submit in their own words and the clearest language, what they consider an important issue of concern in Shadowbane's design, or any aspect of its gameplay, testing, or customer support.

Requirements/Restrictions:

Entries are to be posted on the Crossroads of Shadowbane Development Board, just as any other development-related concern.

Entries should also contain "Contest:" or just "C:" in the Subject field, for the sake of judging.

Submissions must have a valid email address listed.

Contestants should also keep copies of their entries for their own records, in the event that anything should happen to the boards.

Entries must be at least 250 words, but no more than 1,000.

Entries posted after 5 p.m. (CST) on Nov. 1, 2000, will not be accepted. Winners will be announced on Nov. 15, 2000.
