Challenges explained

This page is all about the challenges you will face while a member of Zodiac wars

What are challenges?
Challenges are individual events that run for about 1 to 3 weeks depending on difficulty. Often times challenges are simply a situation given to everyone that you, the Star Sign, either write about, rp about, or draw out. These are just mini events between and during battles for you to do to pass the time and be active. Sometimes battles and plots will be created based on previous challenges. You are not required to do the challenges, but it is best that you do since you can earn individual points and help progress future challenges/battles/events.

How do Challenges work?
Challenges can work in several different ways. Most challenges will be simple situational events where you describe (or draw) what happens to your character. Like "What would happen if your character was attacked by a tentacle alien?". You either write out a short story about it or draw something to describe the event. Sometimes a challenge will be a short RP challenge where you either go into the forums or into a chat to Rp with fellow Star Signs. You can draw a scene from that RP challenge. Sometimes it'll even be a journal challenge or a meme challenge that you just fill out.

How do points work?
Points are actually really simple. You do the challenge and then at the end of the challenge your Founder(s) will choose the best entry to the challenge and then you get a set amount of points for winning. You can then use those points to win individual prizes that will be listed out at a later date.

How important are challenges?
To the full story line, they're actually not that important. A lot of the time though previous challenges will be mentioned in battles, events, and RP's. So if you don't want to be left out, it's best to participate. You don't have to be a great artist, heck you could even team up with someone to complete a challenge! It's all about having fun.

Are there any rules, and what are they?
There are a few basic rules, but additional rules may be applied for different challenges. Generally the rules include: Be respectful, minimal profanity, pg-16, no explicit sexual scenes (unless there is censoring), and try to stay IC as much as possible.

But like I said, rules may change depending on the actual challenge.
