I tried posting the following in FFXI General, but apparently the posters there did not understand my intentions. Perhaps this is the more appropriate board for it.
Last year, FFXI Stratics held a contest that encouraged the submission of player-made quests. While the rules of that contest seemed to cause some confusion, it managed to produce some creative entries. As I recall, there was some interest in having Zam hold a similar contest of its own, but the suggested grand prize of having the FFXI developers turn the best submission into an actual in-game quest was deemed unfeasible, and the idea was dropped.
Now, almost a year later, Stratics does not seem fit to hold that contest again -- I can't even find the winning entries from last year. I wonder whether the community here at Zam would be interested in looking into holding a similar contest this time? I would certainly enjoy the opportunity to submit an entry if such an event were to be held.
