CHALLENGE GUIDELINES

[Shadow Fire]

Welcome to the official hub for The GCN's Community Challenges! This is where you can find challenges set forth by the administration team, with the chance to win prizes, as well as a place in what we have dubbed The Winner's Circle.

 

However, there are certain guidelines that each challenge will have, and they must be adhered to. Here are some other guidelines for you to follow when using this forum:

 

GUIDELINES

• Topics can only be created by those in staff and administrative positions, however, replies are accepted from other groups. Replies are to be kept civil at all times.
  
• Each challenge will have a set time-frame. Anyone who does not complete the challenge in time shall therein forefeit said challenge. You must have your appropriate documentation sent to the appropriate Gamemaster via PM, by the due time and date.
  
• Gameplay must be completed in a single run. Time must be recorded from the moment you press START on the title screen, until the end of the credits sequence (usually when THE END, or similar is shown).
  
• Save states are not to be used.
  
• Upon completion of a challenge, you must send a PM to the appropriate Gamemaster. DO NOT post your results in public. They will be made available in public once each challenge has reached its expiry date. In addition, upon submission of a record, the participant will be added to the list of contenders.
  
• Gamemasters are not permitted to enter challenges. They may, however, still play the games and record their times, just for documentation.
  
• The Gamemasters have final say. Do not question their judgement, otherwise you may face disqualification.
  
• Prizes are randomly chosen amongst Gamemasters, and are awarded to the appropriate winner, along with a place in The Winner's Circle.
  
• Prizes may include, and are not limited to, digital media, money (paid into PayPal), and physical media, such as games, DVDs, books, etc. Where digital media prizes are awarded, they are not to be distributed to anyone else, otherwise, the recipient may face an instant disqualification from all future challenges.
  
• The administration reserve the right to make any modifications to the rules at any time.
  



We hope you have fun in these challenges.
