there should be lore and poetry contests. So creativity is enhanced in nighmist.
and instead of cash/item prizes you should get titles eg.
1) Minstrel Crazzy is a Male Dwarf Adept Cleric. He looks strong, wise, fast, and sexy. In one hand he holds a Staff of Elements. He is wearing an Oak Vest. Around his neck sits a Silver Amulet. He is a member of Defenders Of Ktulu and he has been slightly wounded.
2) Bard Crazzy is a Male Dwarf Adept Cleric. He looks strong, wise, fast, and sexy. In one hand he holds a Staff of Elements. He is wearing an Oak Vest. Around his neck sits a Silver Amulet. He is a member of Defenders Of Ktulu and he has been slightly wounded.
3) Philosopher Crazzy is a Male Dwarf Adept Cleric. He looks strong, wise, fast, and sexy. In one hand he holds a Staff of Elements. He is wearing an Oak Vest. Around his neck sits a Silver Amulet. He is a member of Defenders Of Ktulu and he has been slightly wounded.
Then maybe some little things like when a Minstrel/Bard/Philosopher enters a room with NPC's they bow.
A bank clerk bows before you.
A bank clerk Bows before Bard Crazzy
or is that too much? well feedback please

I like the idea alot. The aspect of gaining a title (even for a limited period), actually really appeals to me. Not only for this sort of contest, but also for moshes, would be nice to see an addition to a persons name for winning a mosh (titles reset every Sunday 23:59).

However, I see problems arising in a poetry contest. Whoever judges the contest will constantly get bad-mouthed - they will constantly be called cheaters and bias.
Though the idea is great, I see it causing much grief for staff members.

Games Room (Execpt Pong, that probably was here from the stone age.)
Pagers (Hmm i wonder if the knights of the round table had good ringones.)
Ping (The only reason Merlin won was because there was too much lag....)
Pirate Hat (Medievel Pirates. Sounds good to me)
More to follow later......

Edit: God, that was so off topic. XD
How exactly do you judge poetry? Is there a kind of scheme to it?

Poetry could be judged on content, spelling, grammar. There could be a topical poetry contest, so then most suited/closely linked. Limited word per verse/stanza. Rhyming poetry, freestyle.. etc etc..How exactly do you judge poetry? Is there a kind of scheme to it?
Obviously one judge isn't enough (due to bias, different likes, etc). A panel of several judges should be formed (say, 3 or 5 judges), who could slowly pick off the poems until they're down to 5, then keep eliminating until a winning poem is produced.
But yeah.. Would have to be more of a player run thing, as I doubt staff have the time for such an event.

and good idea again for topical poetry.
so heres refined idea:
Monthly/Fortnightly poetry contest
judged by panel of 5 player judges
poems on chosen topic decided by judges (poetic council )
prize of a title. Sir/Lady/Baron/Baroness/Bard/Minstrel/Philosopher (work your way up titles) so on your second win instead of recieving "sir" or "lady" you get the baron/baroness titles etc.
Well again is tht ok?

Actually, poetry 'jousts' at that time were very common to gain patronage, and hugely popular, especially during the authum shedule when the majors were showing re-runs.......poetry contest in medieval times? 1 They would get shot.
I like the idea of attaining titles, but not just restricted to poetry, moshes and maybe certain quests could have a title as prize.
I also think you should be able to buy titles, for a suitably outrageous amount.

Lets see if players can organise something.. I'll let someone of vague intelligence start it up, just say if you need any help along the way.

cash sounds ok
or maybe just a lute? for show?
But i just think NM needs a cultural background too, plus more creative people who arnt very good trainers can make some cash.
because whats a city without culture? do the citizens of NM walk around with glum expressions, heads to the ground?
I'll let you decide
edit: also if JLH dosnt make this officially can i get some people who would help judge a player supported poetry contest, also some advertisers

One question, I'm assuming this would be in-game so...where exactly do you set it up? I would say SGH but some moose-tard is bound to mess it up.
