I got a question...or maybe it's just a comment, I'm not sure. In the art list page, there is an icon for "contest second prize" but there's never been any second place awarded to anyone. There's only contest entries, and contest winners, no second place entries have been identified. (You'll have to look at the 2004 art list to see this.)

It was just something that I've always been curious about...

From my understanding of it, second place prises didn't count for the first couple of contests due to the fact the club wasn't that big. Just like the first contest was strictly art because of the lack of members.

Okay here is the general overview...

You get one point for joining.

You get 2 points per piece of art you submit. The limit is two pieces of art a month. So basicly each member has the chance to earn 4 points each month.

You can gain more points for simply entering a contest. You get 3 points for submitting a work to a contest. If you don't win, you still get those 3 points.

Now, there is usually a drawing and a story part of the contest. So that is two winners and concidering the amount of entries there can also be a second-place winner(s). The contest winner(s) get seven points and the second-place gets 5 points.

Recap:
Contest winner: 7 points
Contest 2nd place : 5 points
Contest entry: 3 points
Art submitted: 2 points
Membership: 1 point

So that is how it works. The point system is small so that newer members have a chance to get to the ruling houses by winning and participating. So far I believe you have 1 point, but if you turn in two drow works (art or story) by the end of this month you'll have 5 points. And then if you enter the contest and do not win, then you get 8 points. If you win, then you'll have 10 or 12 points.

I hope this helped.

Yes, that was exactly the reason for it: not enough summits for the contests to wiselly choose a second prize.

Um. I do have a comment and concern. This is the writing things in drow issue. I don't know how you are doing it, but I feel like its too exclusive. It kind of bothers me actually. I just wanted to know how you guys managed to learn to write like this? *feels excluded*
