Pick The Next Race of Beast!

That's right! The winner of the Pick a Beast contest will get to work directly with the developers of Earth Eternal to pick the next (the 14th) player race!

YOU will decide what this race will be, work with the developers to name it and even have some say in how it is worked into the history of the world.

YOU will have exclusive access to that race for the first month of open beta, and may choose up to 10 other accounts to grant access to that race to for that first month.

 

Entering is easy! As long as you're at least 13 years of age, simply send an email to race_contest@eartheternal.com with the following, in this order:

1. The animal that inspired the Beast. It must be either a mammal, bird, reptile, or amphibian appropriate to Europe or North Africa (which does not include lions, elephants, etc). You can find a list of the thirteen existing races on the FAQ.
2. The name you propose for this Beast.
3. In 100 words or less, tell us why you think the Beast you suggest is needed. You can also use this to briefly mention what its roleplaying qualities would be. Is it strong and ponderous, or lithe and devious, or perhaps quick-witted, ill-tempered, and with a powerful hankering for tuna?

The winner will be contacted via the email address from which the entry was sent. Only one entry per person is permitted.

The Pick a Beast Contest ends on April 9th so get your entry in before then!

 

No legalese here. Just know the following when you enter please:

1. There are limits here. You won't get to dictate something that's either too close to one of our existing races or that is just unappealing. Beyond that, we'll do our best to accomodate the winner's wish.
2. Same goes for the name. We'll work with you but it has to be approved by us in the end.
3. Your contribution to the history of the race will mainly involve giving feedback on the origin of that Beast race. We'd have to expose all of our yet-to-be-published history chapters to you to do more than that.
4. In the highly likely case of people submitting the same 'animal'-type of Beast, we'll make our decision based on whose name and up-to-100-word-mini-essay we like the best.
5. You will be able to nominate, effectively, 11 accounts (yours and 10 others) to have exclusive access to this race of Beasts for the first month of open beta. You'll be a celebrity Beast! We'll do our best to protect you from the papparazzi but someone of your stature is hard to keep quiet. You will stick out like like a golden peacock in a flock of mudhens! You will be a god among Beasts, at least for a month.
