The Time Traveller

Banner to go here

What would you do if you had the power to change the past? What would you do if you could go back and pick the winning lottery numbers, save your friend before he made a fatal mistake, didn’t let her get on that train? We are letting you do just that.

Congratulations Sir and/or Madame you have been randomly selected out of billions of people to test the newest product from Sim Development. You might recognize us as a branch of the famous EAxis, the company that discovered the Ground Zero Facility.
It is self apparent that since Ground Zero Time there has been many technological advancement. Our product is a result of this sudden surge of new inventions and ideas, a second Renaissance if you will. Fortunately, you are going to be able to be one of the first people to ever test this product. (You get to be guinea pigs, wait….. not really guinea pigs, guinea pigs are really expensive these days…. I can’t think of a good metaphor.) For added fun and enjoyment, our Head of Public Relations has convinced us to make this a competition so that, if things do go horrible wrong, you will be less likely to sue! Anyways, if you happen to win this competition you will be able to keep T.U.M. (Time Controller Module) and make any (minor, not incredible reality warping) changes you please.

Included with this letter is a package that contains our time travel suit/remote/room/ect. (We are giving you various models for testing). Have fun!


RULES:
1.) Follow all SC2 Forum rules, Contest rules, and picture sizes. (you may link to pictures)
2.) You may enter one Sim or a team of two Sims working together. If you choose to have two Sims, I expect to see as much of one as I do the other. Also, the change should effect both people.
3.) You MUST have either a teen, adult or elder. You can mention having younger kids, but they cannot enter the competition because there is no logical explanation why they would recieve the package
4.) Any species is fine, if you want a purple alien whose descendant crash landed on Earth/Sim Earth/where ever and had many generations of purple children one of which finally became your applicant, you may.
4.) You may use whatever you want as a time travel device, whether that me a metallic suit on ModtheSims 2, one of the aspiration rewards or something you made yourself. Just have it known what you are using to time travel
5.) Please no verbal abuse to anyone. If you are a repeat offender of this rule, you will be thrown out of the contest.
6.) Photoshopping is allowed, but try not to overdo it.
7.) No stealing, if I find out you stole anything, I will hunt you down.
8.) One application per user. Pretty self explanatory
9.) Have fun!

Scoring

Writing: x/20
Pictures: x/20
Creativity: x/10
+Bonus x/10

If an error is found in my math, I will award the first person to inform me of it 1 point. If you are not actually a participant…… you get a pat on the back. Sorry.

The winner will be decided by an average of their previous scores.

Rounds
1.) My History
2.) My Bad
3.) My Revenge
4.) ???

As my last contest, I am going to have the Bonus round be a story itself. However, this time it will be more of a What if….? Meaning that the bonus will probably not connect to the main rounds.

Judges

These are the people who grade each round and giving comments to the applicants. Judges are expected to supply constructive criticism, suggestions and other helpful comments in response to the participants round submission. Please do not sign up for judging if you know you will not or are likely to abandon the contest, it just causes many more problems than are needed. If you are going to unable to get the scores in for a round, please contact me as soon as possible so I can ask an Emergency judge

3.) Aimsme

Emergency Judges

These are the people who volunteer to be the back-ups. If a judge is unable to fulfill his/her duty then the emergency judges fill in. As a last resort, I myself will judge the round. Even if the list is filled, you can always sign up to be an emergency judge. I will just move my name farther from the top.

2.)
3.)
4.) Game Shark

Contestants

These people are the blood of the contest. Without them this competition would not be possible. They are the ones who participate in the rounds and can eventually win (a) prize(s). I would love as many people as possible to sign up so that this competition can be interesting. Please though, only drop out unless it is a last resort. A list of contestants will be listed in a post below.

Prizes

Pretty self-explanitory. These are rewards for the winners. Prizes are always needed and welcomed. If you have something you want to donate, do not hesitate to do so. I am still not very good at making sims, or homes and I do not think the contestants want anything of bad quality so your donations are needed. The list of prizes will be listed below with the contestants.

Ooh! I didn't think that it would be approved yet.

I hope you all enjoy the contest! Special Thanks to both HaughtySims and Cinamun who both looked over my idea.

Just a few notes:
Saying that they sent out multiple versions of the device is just my way of saying you can use whatever you want as a time travel device

Also, with exception of the first round every round is going to deal with making changes within your applicants own life.

Ooooh, I adore time travel, I will definitely be entering. Before I write up my app however, will the rounds be multiple trips into the past or is it all one trip?

Secondly, how long will the rounds be?

The humor of a story on the internet is in direct inverse proportion to how accurate the reporting is.

It will be one trip into the past, however if your sim finds what he/she did made things worse, then you may have a reset button which will put things back to the way they were.

Rounds (if all goes well) will be five days in length

"Well, I was just doing my usual business. You know, preparing for work, breakfast..along those lines. As I walk into the door, I found a sack of money, along with this pink package with my name on it. When I opened it, I was so shocked, I almost fainted."

Do you think it is chance that you got this letter, or fate?: Fate, definitely. The must be a reason why they want me to test this product.

Default Elise Morton- App
Name: Elise Danoch-Morton
Age:35
Hometown: South Sudbury, USA
Short Bio: Elise was the golden child of her town, building combustibles by the time she was six and manufacturing her own cars by ten. In high school she met a man named Walter, and love bloomed between them. However, once Elise went to college she and Walter drifted apart and she wound up marrying a man she met at college, one Marty Morton. She bore Marty a daughter named Annie, but has always wondered about and missed Walter.

Headshot:

Me, last year. We took portraits for our Christmas letter, and there's mine. Gads, I look old...

Shot of Sim finding the package/letter:

On Wednesday May the First it seemed like a normal day... I was a bit upset, Wednesday May the First had been when I graduated three months early, never to see Walter again. This year... it fell on the same day of the week, and this year I found a pacakge on my front stoop, wrapped in the same wrapping paper Walter had always used. Breathily I tore the entire thing open...

And found a letter from some company testing a time machine. Manufacturing instructions were included, and there I had it... a time machine made of duct tape.

Reassuring ain't it?

Do you think it is chance that you got this letter, or fate?: Chance. Why me, a lady in a dull marraige mooning over her high school sweetheart, as opposed to someone who really needed it? Like the President of the United States? Or someone who could ahve prevented loss of life? It was chance, that I know. But chances are good that I'll take this random occurence and get to live a perfect life!

I hope its OK that shes using first person... and if anything is wrong with that, let me know, and I'll fix it lickety split!

Name: formerly Corrigan, then DeathShadow, now Alvaric Hunter

Age: 287

Short Bio: When the Demon lord Malkoth rose to power one of the first realms to fall was the faerie realm of Aspir. They were given a choice of serving as assassins in the armies of Death, or serving as sacrifices on the altar. At first the missions were more of the sort "We need someone expendable to weaken the opposing forces before the main troops arrive. Take as many attempts as you need, but if the mission is not completed by the time the main force arrives, and you are still alive, you would probably rather not be."
After several successes against difficult odds he finally earned the name DeathShadow. He never failed. When Malkoth was finally defeated DeathShadow quickly realized that anyone who had been one of Malkoth's most loyal and deadly servants was likely to be executed on the spot if he were ever caught. With nothing left to lose he dug out a tome of forbidden magic from the ruins of his master's fortress and cast a spell which sent him adrift through the cosmos.

Hometown: Currently residing in Sedina.

Head Shot:



When a mysterious package arrived he was at first suspicious. But his people are known for their curiousity, so he finally took special precautions in case it was a trap and opened it. Now he is intrigued.




Do you think it was Chance or Fate that you got this?

Fate? What is that? Actions that do not involve a being's Will are random, and therefore Chance. Actions which do involve a being's Will are Choice. So all that happens is a blend of Chance and Choice. There is no such thing as Fate.

Default Questions
Been bit by the contest bug so I'm thinking of joining. A few questions though.

When does the application round end? How long is first round gonna take?
We can link to images but is there a preferred imagesize? Forum rules says 650x550 I know, but I'd like to go bigger. So how big is too big?

Applications will continue until I have 10. I would like to start Wednesday, but who knows.

If I don't have enough applicants I'll probably continue the apps into Round One

I'ld prefer a maximum of 650x550, but I do not remember the picture rules for this forum. If I remember correctly, the size and number rule does no apply here.

If you are going to use a bigger picture, please link it because it annoys me when the page is stretched out.
