Contest: A Disastrous Event

[bryson3842]

I would like to see an event that brought your realm to the brink of destruction. In any form, such as a major war, a terrible disease, or a natural disaster to name a few. With how you overcame this event, or how it was learned to be dealt with going forward.

The above in bold being the prompt. I would like to see 600 to 700 words or more. Forum or wiki is fine so long as the link is put on this thread.

I will be scoring these based on:

• Grammar
• Creativity
• Length (More so if it doesn't meet minimum length than a maximum)

I would like all entries to be posted here no later than 11:59 pm EST on July 7th.

I will be posting an entry of my own, but it will of course not be included in the final ranking. Depending on the number of participants I will give out more prizes. Encourage others to enter, since it will mean more prizes for everyone.

If less than five people enter, there will be 3 prizes:

• 1st Place: 2 Dubs of a reasonable material (Ex: Any type of Wood, Stone, Ask and you will probably get it, just not glowstone or the like); A perfect tool.
• 2nd Place: 1 Dub of a reasonable material (Same as above.); A perfect tool.
• 3rd Place: A perfect tool and Elytra.

If more than 5 but less than 10 enter, there will be 5 prizes:

• 1st Place: 3 Dubs of a reasonable material (Ex: Any type of Wood, Stone, Ask and you will probably get it, just not glowstone or the like); A perfect tool.
• 2nd Place: 2 Dub of a reasonable material (Same as above.); A perfect tool.
• 3rd Place: 1 Dub of a reasonable material (Same as above.); A perfect tool and Elytra.
• 4th Place: Perfect tool and Elytra
• 5th Place: Perfect tool

If more than 10, there will be 7 prizes:

• 1st Place: 3 Dubs of a reasonable material (Ex: Any type of Wood, Stone, Ask and you will probably get it, just not glowstone or the like); Two perfect tools.
• 2nd Place: 2 Dub of a reasonable material (Same as above.); Two perfect tools.
• 3rd Place: 1 Dub of a reasonable material (Same as above.); Two perfect tools and Elytra.
• 4th Place: Two perfect tools and Elytra
• 5th Place: Perfect tool and Elytra
• 6th Place: Perfect tool
• 7th Place: Perfect Elytra

I feel like length shouldn't really be scored if you're already setting up a minimum. The quality of the writing should matter more.

[bryson3842]

@Loric The point of that is that I am not going to disqualify someone for being a few words short, but it will affect their overall score.
