Player Outreach To Writing Cultures

[MonMarty]

This thread will be used to poll interest and assign writing tasks to players who are willing to assist in writing our additional Ailor Cultures. We are looking for writers who are proficient in English and can write at a similar theme style as the Wiki, meaning a mixture between immersive but also very formal and information driven information that doesn't use too many thesauruses and big words, but still gets good descriptive content across. We are specifically looking for players/staff who feel passionate about a specific culture or have their own heritage roots in these cultures to give them a better understanding of the more subtle cultural expressions. We currently have the following distinctions:

• Breizh, the Breton/Norman Culture, Claimed by MonMarty & Completed
• Jendaskea, the Basque Culture, Claimed by Tibertastic & Completed
• Tolonne, the Occitan/Provencal Culture, Claimed by ContestedSnow & Completed
• Genevaud, the Swiss/Tyrollean Culture, Claimed by Goldifish & Completed
• Azzizzari, the Neapolitan/Sicilian Culture, Claimed by People & Completed
• Byala, the Bulgarian/Romanian Culture, Claimed by KrakenLord01 & Completed
• Güneyliler, the Turkish Culture, Claimed by Yigit & Completed
• Zvorun, the Polish/Lithuanian/Latvian/Romuva Culture, Claimed by Osowiec & Completed
• Höglander, the Swedish sophisticated court Culture, Claimed by Last_Link & Completed
• Fridurfolk, the Icelandic Culture, Claimed by Nixces & Completed
• Calderliga, the North German/Hanseatic/Mercantile Calemberg Culture, Claimed by FireFan96 & Completed
• Ardualnaar, the Libyan/Mamluk Warlord Culture, Claimed by KrakenLord01 & Completed
• Tarkkin, the Finnish/Estonian Culture, Claimed by MURKl & Completed
• Burdigala, the Burgundian/Wallonian Culture, Claimed by Eronoc & Completed
• Szabadok, the Hungarian Culture, Claimed by MonMarty & Completed
• Bragacao, the Portuguese Culture, Claimed by Nixces & Completed
• Mevoriim, the Hebrew Culture, Claimed by Corgi Jesus & Completed
• Ohrneti, the Georgian/Armenian Culture, Claimed by KrakenLord01 & Completed
• Qússrakón, the Astrakani/Tengri/Hunnic Culture, Claimed by KrakenLord01 & Completed
• Hadrav'ya, the Ethiopian/Coptic Culture, Claimed by HydraLana & Completed
• Khaneh, the Persian Culture, Claimed by Darwinfluff & Completed

How to request a writing permit

• Write a reply to this thread with the following information:
• Your in-game Username.
• From what basis you think you can write a good cultural page, for example "I am from XYZ culture".
• When you suspect you can have your first submission done (set yourself a deadline).
• A verbal "I agree to the terms and conditions, that my work may be altered, published, deleted without my consent. I claim no copyright on the content that I am giving to MassiveCraft for use, and that all content that I do end up giving to MassiveCraft will transfer copyright to MassiveCraft."

If you've been approved, you will be handed a template by which to write, and an example page to define how long each paragraph should be by minimum. You will be asked to write the skeleton structure of the culture (everything except the history) after which a Lore Staff member will "process" your article to remove any writing impurities and errors, and also add their own content (along with the history) to bring the whole article cohesively together. Your name will be added as co-writer for the document published on the Wiki.

Only one person can be written down as a claimant for a writer on the articles outlined above, and players who submit to help writing these articles should be ready to receive harsh criticism on their writing and several iterations of reworking certain parts to make sure the final product is as good as it can be. If multiple players claim the same culture, the best pitch for quality assurance will be granted, or both may be approved under the understanding that these can collaborate on expanding the document with more content.

I'd like to write the Unnamed Georgian/Armenian Culture.

• Mooffins
• I have written past Lore Pages, including one culture page in the Leutz-Vixe. I believe I can easily write about things that I have a vested interest in, and that can be attested to with my various work on the server.
• I work and have university essays to attend to, so I couldn't tell you a due date for this. Maybe a week or two? Maybe less? Probably no longer than a month.
• "I agree to the terms and conditions, that my work may be altered, published, deleted without my consent. I claim no copyright on the content that I am giving to MassiveCraft for use, and that all content that I do end up giving to MassiveCraft will transfer copyright to MassiveCraft."

• Through a forum convo with Marty, I gave a pitch to write the New Regalian culture. I graduated with a German minor at university and have a fair understanding of the culture through rp expereinces. The pitch was approved, but I wanted to post it here for bureaucracy reference.
• I should be able to complete this by the end of the month, so February 28th.

• From what basis you think you can write a good cultural page, for example "I am from XYZ culture".
  • I believe i'm a skilled writer with enough resources to make the page as genuine and like Icelandic Culture as need be.

  • As for why I chose Icelandic in general it's already been something i've read about and take great interest in. I'm also confident I can write something interesting to fit into the lore while still being like it's inspiration.
• A good couple of weeks at least.

Your Prompt for the Genevaud Culture is: A Swiss/Tyrollean high mountain German culture of strict religious observation and yodeling. Lots and lots of yodeling and snow.

As is stated above, you will write the skeleton structure of the Culture (everything except the History) after which a Lore Staff member will "process" your article to remove any writing impurities and errors, and also add their own content (along with the history) to bring the whole article cohesively together. This is the format that you will all be using and you must put it onto a google drive document: https://wiki.massivecraft.com/index.php?title=Culture/Format&action=edit

As two recent examples of the sort of length of the content we are looking for, here are links to Marty's culture writing. Please be aware that length and inclusion of individual sections will vary based on the significance of certain areas as opposed to others:

Considering these factors, I would try to make the Azzizzari culture more Carthaginian/Roman

• ContestedSnow
• Over the past 5-6 months, I've been doing nothing but consuming and researching Occitan/provencal material thanks to it being my newest (and multi-year) obsession. I definitely have a passion for the language (just did a university assessment on it), and heck, I listen to Occitan music in my free time.
• I plan to start writing this as soon as possible, with a fair bit of energy into it but I also have university approaching it's final crunch time before the end of the trimester. I'd say by June if Uni gets in the way, late May if not.
