I'm doing about four different heads-up threads for this (sorry Mods) because it covers so many different site areas. Hopefully it'll reach most of the relevant people this way, at least, for the greater glory of TWC.

The Exilian Games, 2011, are happening soon!

Essentially the premise is that my site, the Exilian, is hosting a set of forum versus forum competitions in a variety of disciplines including gaming, writing, video making, screenshotting, artwork, and so on. Each event is entered as an individual (bar a few doubles matches for gaming), and results are done gold/silver/bronze medal styley with an overall medals table between the forums. The gaming matches are done in an obvious fashion, the other stuff will be judged externally.

There are several poetry and short story contests, and an Oulipo contest for constraint-based writing as well which should be real fun. For the best all-rounders, the Triposte event includes writing as well as gaming in a battle for the most diversely talented contestant!
