This bold and beautiful gold will be the prize.
Summary
Gold dragons are both rare and carry with them a duty and responsibility for the player. They are a reward and represent a great amount of trust vested in the player by the staff.
As such, this contest will be judged on the following attributes: 1) Activity, 2) Writing Skill, and 3) Reliability. The first and last are something that will have been developed in the past months but those demonstrate a willingness to play and particpate in the game will also be considered. Writing skill is extremely important and will be a central feature in this contest.
The dragon herself has no set personality and no name yet. However, she does have set physical appearance - she is boldly patterned and tiny for a gold. Based on the Wasp, her personality and general features should reflect this.
