| Tabula Rasa Beta Olympics |
left until Beta Olympics are closed!!
Welcome to the TR Stratics Beta Olympics extravaganza! Tabula Rasa is currently undergoing internal testing, but the closed beta will be here before you know it. Do you want to be among the first to forge the future of Tabula Rasa? Well we want to give you that opportunity! (We're awesome like that).
The road ahead will be difficult, so it is our duty to help select the best of the best. We have prepared a number of challenges that will test your skills. If you think you have what it takes to compete, choose from any of the following five events:
Cross-Country Writing
Who are you? How did you join up with the AFS? How did your clan meet? What was your most heroic moment in combat? Here's your chance to share some war stories with your comrades. No topic or setting restrictions – just write about anything TR related that strikes your fancy. It can be a story, a news report, a historical retrospective, even an epic poem. Not to put a cap on anyone's creativity, but please try to keep the total word count less than 5000.
Art Decathlon
Do you have an artistic flair? Submit your best designs – wallpapers, posters, concept art, comics, advertisements, box designs, trading cards, guild crests, screensavers, icons, etc.
Synchronized Designing
If you were a member of the development team what would you create? A new character class? A new Bane creature? New weapons, armor or equipment? An AFS vehicle? An entire planet? Describe your ideas – what it looks like, how it works, etc. Visuals would add a nice touch but aren't required.
Xtreme Forum Posting
No I didn't say "spamming" – post count means nothing. We favor quality over quantity. In every forum there are certain posters who really distinguish themselves by consistently presenting good ideas and fostering a sense of community. Here's your chance to reward the posters who make your visit to the boards more enjoyable.
Creative Freestyle
This category is for those of you who not only break the mold but create an entirely new one. Here is your opportunity to really show off your uniqueness. Just about anything goes (as long as it's TR related!). You can create an audio story (like Paradise Lost), a TR inspired song, a flash game, a picture or video of yourself running around in AFS style gear fighting the Bane... Be creative!
New to Tabula Rasa?
Can't tell a Tabula Rasa from a Clean Slate? Maybe you just stumbled across the game, but its unique blend of role playing elements in a sci-fi world has you intrigued. Don't worry if you don't know enough about the game yet to compete in the above events. Tell us WHY you'd like to be a part of this incredible game and we may just give you that chance!

Official Rules & Regulations
Stratics Contest Rules
There is no limit to how many events you can enter or how many submissions you can enter per event. The events will be open for roughly two weeks, so you'll have some time to create something truly memorable. All submissions will be reviewed by our highly trained staff and we will present the top in each category for you the community to judge (via forum polls). The Gold, Silver & Bronze positions in each event will earn themselves beta slots.
There are no restrictions to participate in the events, but in order to claim a beta slot you must be at least 18 years old and be willing to sign the NDA (non-disclosure agreement). Please also note that no official start date has been set for the beta test, so don't expect to jump into the game the same day we announce the winners.
Every participant is only eligible to win a single slot. If anyone manages to finish in the top 3 more than once the extra slot(s) will go to another finalist in a random draw. In the event of a tie for a winning slot, extras (if available from multiple wins) will be awarded on priority. If no extras are available the staff will hold a private tie breaker vote to determine the winner.
Stratics reserves the right to publish all content submitted in our site's community section so they can be appreciated by everyone. Please note this competition is NOT limited to Stratics regulars (although you will need a forum account to participate in voting). We'd like to extend an invitation to our comrades from all the other TR communities to join in the festivities. So what are you waiting for recruits? Get to work!
