VOTING HAS Concluded
Hello and welcome to another Foundry Challenge! :cool: These challenges will be posted every 9-10 weeks, which includes 6 weeks to make your mission, and 3 weeks for the community to play through all of the missions and cast one [1] official vote for a winner. At the end of the 3 weeks of playthrough and voting, a winner, based on a simple majority of votes, will be announced and awarded 1000 STO Promo Points for the C-Store (enough to also purchase additional Foundry slots through the Dilithium exchange, if the winner chooses) and earn a guaranteed spot as a future Foundry Spotlight mission.
Today we start the nine-week run of the ninth Foundry Challenge: The Mirror of Romulus
For this Foundry Challenge, create a mission that's main story plot revolves around the fate of Romulus, and it's Legacy, in the Mirror Universe. What happens to Romulus, (does Mol'Rihan and the Romulan Republic exist?), along with the rest of the backstory, is completely up to you. Don't forget the Remans, and throw in some evil looking Goatees to boot!
Please make sure to adhere to the Foundry EULA and the rules below.

POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE = the 3-week playthrough and review stage will begin. Only entries made in this thread prior to 10AM, and are published/ available in-game, on that Wednesday at that time will be eligible to participate in the challenge. Look for a voting thread to be made which will explain the voting process (some info below).
VOTING THREAD = Here
This is the author's thread -- only entries should be made here.
The Discussion Thread can be found HERE.
A Voting Thread will be posted and stickied when that period begins.
We also have an Index of previous challenges HERE.
IMPORTANT: The rules may change from one challenge to another, but I'd like to let everyone know what the base rules are. These may grow as we move on (and have since the 1st challenge), so feel free to give feedback in the discussion thread about what should be added!
- Each Challenge will run for 9 weeks. For 6 weeks we will sticky the challenge and let you make your entry. After the 6th week, the 7th through 9th week will be the time when the mission is published and reviewed by the community.
- There is no right or wrong entry.
- The background story should be the main foundation for your mission. You will put the player into the main role.
- The missions for these challenges must be in English. Please check out the French and German forums using the flag drop down above to see their Foundry contests.
- In the spirit of the competition, only maps, missions, stories, dialogue etc. created/ built/ designed during the 6-week creation period should be used.
- The mission should take only 30 minutes for a player to complete, but MUST not take more than 45 minutes. Error on the side of 30 minutes. This is to allow players to be able to play through all of the missions so they can consider all when voting.
- In your mission description, opening dialogue, and the last dialogue, please include orange "out-of-character" text that explains that your mission is part of the STO Forums' Foundry Challenge #9 -- do not include a link to this post, but let the player know they can visit the "The Foundry for Star Trek Online" section of the forums for more information.
- Please keep discussion about the entries in the appropriate Discussion Thread.
- In the Discussion Thread, feel free to write what inspired you and what your thoughts on the topic are.
- Once the mission is published, it should not be withdrawn, even temporarily. The only exception to this would be if for some reason players are saying they can't complete it and you need to fix something so they can. If you find spelling mistakes, feel free to fix them only after the competition ends.
- Regarding Voting:
- Once you have played through all of the missions during the Playthrough Period, please send me a forum PM with the mission you feel should win this month's challenge.
- Unless you play through all of the missions pretty quickly, I should not be getting votes until midway through the 8-9th week.
- Reviewers can only send one [1] forum PM to me to act as an official vote for a winner.
- Reviewers can write reviews of some of the other missions if they wish.
- A few other important reminders:
- Please heed the Foundry's EULA when submitting your entry! This applies to any mission made in the foundry. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
- Each author may only have one entry, no matter how many accounts they have.
- After nine weeks' time, the thread will be unstickied as we move on to the next challenge.
- We'll have three threads: One to post the entries in (this), one to discuss the entries and one with the official entries list for voting.
Cross-linking between these threads is acceptable for these challenges ONLY!!
***If you are unable to push the "publish" button at this time due to timezones/ work schedules, please wait until the latest possible moment before this day/time. Also, if you need to publish your mission to test things, that is fine too, but please make sure to unpublish after testing is complete.
