Lore Contest 2

Way back in the early days of the server, we had a lore contest that reaffirmed a bunch of previously nebulously defined lore and as well as created a bunch of new stuff. It’s difficult to grasp now, since the lore is so well developed, that basically all of it was user generated. Things we take for granted now, like basic facts of living in the city, slime, vendors, and gang violence, all had to be created by users like you. Take the Staydeads for instance, their entire existence is a result of a bug that made it impossible to !revive, resulting in a group of people rage quitting and starting their own gang. Lore and a fuckton of art followed. Ghosts were made by players like you!

So, let’s do the slime wa-- I mean, let’s do lore again! Really stretch your creativity. I know it may seem like everything’s already set in stone, but it’s not. There’s still so much of life in the city that’s left to be elaborated on and explored. Here’s a quick and dirty way to come up with your own, totally new lore: Take any aspect of the game (mechanics like !killing, zones like the Outskirts, maybe one of the gangs, etc.) and just ask yourself, “Why? How?”. Take what’s there in the game and expand upon it, really flesh out every nook and cranny you can here guys.

So, there’s the theme. It’s as wide-open as a theme can be, it’s anything goes, as long as it’s new or obscure lore! Here’s your chance to canonize it! After all, the only way RFCK can grow and stay fresh is if players like you keep the flame of creativity alive.
