First off, the cooking competition will be held as part of the
Arts and Crafts fair on December 15th between 20:00-22:00 GMT.
These are some general instructions for you to know about and follow if you want to take part.
We would like you to create a new dish. It can be anything, so be creative. This dish will be entered in to an RP competition and the winner will be given the possibility of having their dish included in the game.
COMPETITIONThis will be during the fair, we advise participants to have all their items ready before turning up. There will be cooking equipment for you to RP making it if you wish to do so (we advise you do). During the fair people will be requested to approach the table and taste the dishes and vote for the winner. This will be done by just reading the item names and descriptions (see other jaz below). The winner, second and third place will be the dishes with the largest, second largest and third largest number of votes respectively.
RECIPE1 - The recipe would be best if started at basic ingredients, apples, meat, berries etc... Those that you can harvest/loot/buy. It's far easier to add a new recipe that we don't need to create new basic items for.
2 - Think about those recipes which you have used in game already. Those items could be used as the first few steps in your new recipe. But don't feel limited to them.
3 - Try to be sparing with the different step you create in preparing the food. We think about 10 stages of combining/straining/rolling/cooking etc.. should be sufficient to allow fancy recipes to be created. If we feel 2/3/4/5+ steps could be combined into one if you win we will likely ask you to combine them or just do it ourselves. But again if you hit 11 or 12 don't worry.
4 - Recipe names, intermediate items names, and final dish name. If you create an intermediate item and when you name your dish there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Do NOT use player character names (yours or others) we will make you change it if you do. You CAN use an NPC name, but only if it makes sense, if it doesn't we will make you change it.
5 - Don't be stupid. Stupid recipes will not be used even if they win and you wont be able to use a replacement.
6 - Under the circumstance that the winning recipe can not make it in game, 2nd or 3rd place MIGHT! be used if we are up for allowing it on the day.
OTHER JAZ1 - licence:
As the recipe will be included for ever and always in PS it is required that all 'official contributions' are submitted under the ABC license. If you don't sign it we cant use your dish. What does signing it mean? Simply means that you agree to hand over the 'rights to your recipe' to PS (Atomic Blue). This would apply to recipe, the recipe name, intermediate items names and all other parts of it. This is so that the work we put into make the recipe available in game is not wasted under the extreme circumstance the creator of the recipe says we cant use it after it gets in game.
2 - To aid in the RP aspect of the fair Devs/GMs will rename a piece of food (main name and description) which you can use to place on the judging table for people to example and RP taste. If you would like this done please send a PM to me in advance so that the item can be made and be standing by for when you need it.
