Plaintext Version

Welcome to Episode IV of Sins of the Past! This is a series of 4-week events Arcona is running that will help shape the fictional landscape of the Shadow Clan. Each “Episode” of Sins will contain the competition types listed below (see “Scoring Methodology”). The Special Event will vary from Episode to Episode. Plot updates will be sent out over the Arcona mailing list on a weekly basis, as well as made available on the Brotherhood’s Discourse.

Scoring Methodology

While each individual event will have its own grading criteria and awards, overall placement (and awards) for the competition series and each individual Episode will be based on the following point system. Note that a member can receive placement points or participation points for an event, but not both.

So, as an example, Knight Sample completes the following activities.

• Participates in seven events
• Receives 1st in a Puzzle
• Receives 2nd in a Cluster Race
• Receives 3rd in two Flash Games

They will have earned 21 points.

Note: This Episode of Sins contains a multimedia Propaganda event in lieu of the traditional Crypto-style event. The scoring, however, is unchanged.

Special Event

The Special Event included in Episode IV is a cooperative fiction. The goal is to use the given prompt to tell a story with your partner. Further details (as well as how to sign up) can be found in the relevant sub-competition. This event is worth a lot of points, so don't miss it!
