Subject :Closure of Revels and Story Contest
Date :3/18
It is with great sadness that we must announce that the Revels poetry and story contests are now suspended.

 Due to the advancement and growing popularity of AI generated content, it is not possible at this time to ensure the integrity of these contests. Since Revels/Story contests are currently part of Culture trial, it is a temptation and we've noticed instances where entries are not fully "human". This creates an impossible situation where we simply cannot with full assurance guarantee and thus allow or disqualify an entry based on the use of various tools and our own extensive experience.

 As we cannot give assurance to those that enter that their entries are being judged against other entries that aren't tempered with the use of AI, we cannot go on with these contests.

 The GM team has worked out an additional alternative for the Ee San Culture trial, which has been implemented already.

 To those of you that that enjoy poetry/story writing, we apologize for the discontinuation of these contests and appreciate all the beautiful work you've been submitting through the years. Even if they didn't always win, you should know they've been enjoyed by us as we check them and by the judges who were lucky enough to read them. And to those who volunteered their time to judge, know that you will all have my most sincere gratitude for all of your help.

We hope that you understand why these contests had to be suspended and we encourage you to enter Subpath/Clan/Ministry sponsored contests of similar content and to continue to partake in the ever-evolving Roleplay that our Kingdoms offer.
