BioWare Hiring Writers by Contest

AsiNisiMasa writes "GamaSutra reports: BioWare Announces Writing Contest For Industry Jobs. For all of you with some modding experience with the hopes of breaking into the gaming industry, here is your chance. For you less confident modders, there is still hope. From BioWare's official contest page: 'When hiring writers, BioWare looks only at your writing; not the areas, not the special scripting, and not the combat. We evaluate only the characters, the dialogue, the plot, the non-linear structure, and the flow and pace of the story.'"

    It is a dark and stormy night. You are likely to be eaten by a wet Grue.

    Don't forget - you also get to relocate to balmy Edmonton, Alberta.

    Oh, and you'll also get this t-shirt... signed by the guy who used to have your job!
    He, uh, left for some reason.

    Hey, wait a minute. He wrote something on the back. It says:

    "Kill ... Me..."

    I would never acknowledge and participate in such a degrading method of showing my abilities.

    Duly noted, Mr. Coward.

    No combat. Conflict has to be handled in other ways (assuming there's conflict).

    Yes, I agree, conflict should be addressed by no more than a heated discourse at afternoon tea. There shall be no throwing of crumpets, and absolutely no elbows on the table! The deadliest attack will be a gaze of consternation, such to cause the victim mild intestinal discomfort!

    Passive aggressive people the world over will flock to your game!
