Posts from The third episode of "Miss Heroesworld 2007" is "A Tale of Valor".

The third stage "A Tale of Valor" begins.

Be sure to read the rules "Miss Heroesworld 2007"

It was decided to make the 3rd contest also literary due to problems with playing online.

In this contest, you need to describe your battle or some event in the game as if you yourself are the Heroine and have your own army.

Here is an example written by me so that it is clearer what exactly I expect from you:
Waking up early in the morning from annoying flies, I habitually quickly looked around. It was quiet; only the clanging of golem armor could be heard – they were good scarecrows after all.
After 5 minutes, the entire camp was buzzing; archmages approached me with thoughts about the upcoming battle. We decided to cast Haste on the golems and gargoyles, and as always, the archmages grumbled that the archers in the castle towers would shoot them down first.
As the first rays of sunlight appeared, we set out. After approximately 2 hours, we reached the castle…
It was clear that they were waiting for us there. All troops were already lined up, and enemy archers had taken positions deep within the city.
First came harpies, followed by golems, then a horde of gremlins. The archmages definitely took out the griffons. The most terrible thing for me was the appearance of an angel on the battlefield. Flying towards the djinn, he delivered a precise blow... unfortunately, I'll have to send another group of people to search for lamps in the sands again. The battle itself was won even before it began; the main forces of the Red Lord were far away. I just hid behind the mountains and waited for a convenient moment... Oh well, too bad about those 6 mages... I’m going to go have some fun at the tavern.

I look forward to receiving your Tales until May 31st.

Also, please be sure to wait for my confirmation that I have received your tale.

First came the harpies, followed by golems...

Maybe not harpies... but gargoyles :D
Sorry for the off-topic... :D

Interesting... which Heroes game should the armies be from? Heroes II, III, IV, or V?
And also... the conditions should be clarified somehow. Just saying "write something about your battle," even without limiting the length of the essay, is too vague...
Besides, I would personally prefer to write not in the first person, but from the perspective of a character (i.e., a hero from the game).

yes, yes, and also please specify - is it absolutely necessary to be in prose?

Another question – will the authors be credited? Or will it be anonymous, like in the second stage? This is an important question – I have an idea, and this factor will be decisive... And also – is a BATTLE mandatory? Can there be something more?

And also - must there обязательно be a BATTLE? Can't there be something more?

Ah, in what colors would I describe the market machinations on the seventh day of the week... the desperate attempts to get the missing crystal and place the dragons!!! :smile35: You would cry reading this masterpiece... :smile40:

Hmm... I don't really understand how I'm supposed to write this, and if there are any restrictions.
I already have a description of the battle. =)) From my perspective, in my story... but it's about... several pages long.
I can type it out, it's not difficult for me, but I doubt anyone will read it to the end. (and I can't shorten it, the meaning would be lost).

Uh... I don't get it. Where did Hex go?

Okay – the girls, Hexorin is currently extremely short on time. Real life demands his attention... We'll have to wait for him to answer all the questions... What can we do...

What to do... extend the deadlines. We need to wait for more specific conditions. Otherwise, someone might create a masterpiece spanning an entire page, while someone else writes just a couple of paragraphs. Naturally, it will be difficult to compare them – such works will clearly be written in different formats.
We need to standardize the stories a bit. After all, in "Miss World," not all contestants appear in swimsuits, while others wear evening gowns.

Or maybe you (the participants) could decide on some criteria yourselves? For example, write this or that, but don't write this... And the deadline is until the 20th, so there's still time, the only thing is that you might have to rush it later... but I think each of you has already made some notes.

I'm all for it! Or maybe we should extend the deadline, because I have my state exams and thesis defense right now, and I honestly don't have much time. But I really want to participate! Or maybe we should decide on something that would be a smaller task...

yes - we need to determine the size, style (prose, or allow poetry, and if possible, the genre), and the scope of the content (only a battle, or something more)...

For now, I've only outlined the plot; I haven't made any sketches yet. I would like to try a poetic form, but not everyone will likely agree to that.

Maybe... should we extend the deadline after all? To be honest... now is not the best time, in my opinion. And let Hex return and tell us himself what to do and how.

Let's have a vote on the deadlines and scope, without Hex! After all, it's not him who has to write all of this, is it?;)
