Welcome
After much vote changing, arguing about lack of creativity, and contemplation of whether a wet t-shirt contest would constitute a community event, it was finally decided that I would be holding a Create a Skill contest, the page for which you are now reading.

Rules/Organisation
Entry will be divided into three categories with three prizes - one for the winner of each category. These categories are as follows:


 * Cat 1: Serious/balanced skills, which will be judged against how well they would fit into the game, opening up new build possibilities while not destroying game balance etc. Points are lost for over/under powered skills.


 * Cat 2: Funny skills, i.e. those not aimed at being implemented in the game, but are merely created for laughs. These can be wiki related, reference in-game stuff, reference well known trivia not related to the wiki or the game, or generally be anything as long as it doesn't violate any policies* and is atleast vaguely amusing. Skills will be judged against how funny i personally think they are, thus making this category wholly unfair, but whatever, you still win stuff.


 * Cat 3: User specific skills, similar to the above category, but for skills aimed at/based on a particular user on this wiki. Nothing too offensive please*


 * i'm looking at you, Ereanor

Anyone can enter more than one category, however each entrant can only enter an individual category once. For example, RandomUserName could enter both cat 1 and cat 3, but he could not enter cat 1 twice.

Skills will be created on their own page in an entrants userspace, e.g. User:Bla/Hungry_was_Fred using the user skillbox template. If you are not familiar with this then just steal and modify the code from one of these. A link to the skill will then be posted under the right category heading below. Entry opens when this page appears in RC and closes when i feel there are enough entries for it to be worth deciding a winner. While no signing is required to enter, it would be helpful if you could sign below before submitting your entry as then i will know if i need to wait for anyone before deciding a winner. Prizes are shiny gold items from my storage, and half digested boots will be awarded to the creator of the lamest skill of all categories, as a compensation prize.

There is now also a hastily knocked together userbox for anyone who wishes to help publicise this event. The icon can be exchanged for that of any other skill that has been entered. Er, and the colours, untill it looks decent:
