Super Huge Contest Time!!

HELLO SECTOR!

This is galaxy-famous, loved-by-all Captain Seni Star speaking to you all and I have super big news!!

So, I think we all know that Reynold's Spaceport is the -best- spaceport in the sector, but I think we can all agree that it could be -even more better- than all of the other stations and spaceports out there if we had a super cool, mega awesome AMAZING LOUNGE! Because of this I, amazing fashionista and space captain extraordinaire, together with the sector's most famous superdiva Poet Yi'jiaru will be hosting and judging a designing contest for the new lounge! Yes, you did not just dream: anyone who is not a current enemy of Scatterhome can apply and potentially win!! The lounge will be placed directly north of the Central Terminal of Reynold's Station and it will have any amenities the winner's design calls for; employees, a proprietor, items for sale, seating, furniture, or maybe even a huge bear! Who knows!!

So, you're probably wondering what you can win, right? Well, I'm sure in that case your eyes have already scanned this message to find out at the end. However, here comes the specifications for what
it is and what we actually want:
1) The name of the room.
2) The description of the room.
3) Any furniture in the room as well as the full description or a brief description of them (you do not need to be able to craft said furniture yourself).
4) Any NPCs in the room and either a full description or a brief description of them.
5) Any items for sale in the room along with either a full description or a brief description of them.
6) Anything else you feel is worth including. If you have ideas for anything exotic or special, send a message to me before your submission and I will see if your idea is possible.
7) Submit your design using the mindsim program Pastebin to me before the deadline.

So, when do we need your submission? The due-date is exactly three months from now, at sync (//which would be at midnight the 5th of May)! This should hopefully mean that you have plenty of time to think of a great design and compose it all. A note should be made that while the constest winners are decided by myself and Poet, we will likely also enter the contest. A third judge might therefore be asked to weigh in on our submissions, at our discretion.

So, finally then, the prizes!! The grand prize of the contest will not only have their work permanently displayed, they will also have a plaque dedicated to their win inside the lounge itself, along with the names of the runners-up! In addition, the winner will collect THREE HUNDRED CREDITS, and each of the runners-up will each receive one hundred credits!

We really hope this will inspire you to create something truly wondrous! ...or trashy, or luxurious, or militant, or cute(!!), or pink, or- I'm just thinking about cute stuff now. If you have any questions regarding the contest or if you simply want to tell me what a CRAZY AWESOME IDEA THIS IS then please contact me at any time!

GOOD LUCK, and may the best designer win!!
