Rules:
Contest will run from 4/19 – 5/17/26.
Contest is open to all PAID subscribers.
Entries are limited to one per account. If multiple entries are submitted from the same account, only the first entry will count towards the contest.
See below for entry requirements.
GMs Reserve the Right To:
Disqualify submissions that break ALTER rules and/or the rules of the contest.
Choose not to create all entries in-game for any reason. Typically this will be because of #1, but it could also be because there were too many to reasonably create in the time available, etc.
Not award all winning places if there are insufficient eligible entries
Modify any entry as needed if creating it in-game. We will always attempt to stay as close to the designer’s intent while modifying to fit rules and requirements.
Not offer explanations for disqualifications, modifications to the submission, etc. Doing so would take up significant time. By virtue of submitting an entry, you are providing tacit agreement that we may need to do this.
Entry Requirements
Entries are restricted to meads or liramea only. Other beverages are not allowed.
Mead and liramea flavor messaging requires mention of honey.
Each entry must include two standard taste messages. Taste messaging should be no more than two sentences each, with a maximum amount of characters, spaces included, of 300.
