But the Jenizens are not ones to act rashly, nor are they beings bent on destruction for destruction's sake. Denim is a physical manifestation of good in their eyes, and if this sacred material exists in this world, surely it is not beyond saving. So they're putting forth a great trial to test the peoples of Sornieth, in the form of questions pertaining to material from their most revered ancient texts on virtue and morality. In other words... If Sornieth is still standing at the end of this week, that means the winning answers were deemed the "correct" answers in the eyes of the Jenizens and peace has been restored to the land! So the winning answers will forever be canonically, in the history of Sornieth, the true, right answers to their questions. According to the ancient and infinite wisdom of the Jenizens, that is. There will be 8 questions, open for voting all week. Each vote will cost [b]10,000t[/b] or [b]10g[/b]. There will also be a bonus question that you can only vote in if you've already voted for one of the other questions. Badges will also be available for achieving certain criteria, or for purchase. Votes will be automatically tracked through Google Forms. Check in at the end of the week to see the conclusion to this great and terrible event in Sornieth's history!

Greed. Hubris. Violence, it accused. The sins of the inhabitants of this world had grown so vast, so dark, that it had begun to cast a shadow on their own world through the veil, like a cloud drifting in front of the sun. This could not continue.

This world could not continue.

And yet a chance, offered. The emissary stretched open its gaping maw, and from its dark depths spewed forth one last test, one final trial by which to judge the inhabitants of Sornieth.

In the souls of all living beings, capacity for both good and evil. But potential can be nestled gently within, easily jostled free, or buried deep, deep, heavy beneath tar. For this trial, to judge accurately, to overlook nothing, the arena would be the centerpiece of civilization, the one shining light that these denizens of the Jenim Realm (the Jealm) valued above all else:

Denim.

HOW IT WORKS

The Jenizens, fateful servants of the Jeansinger, are prepared to destroy Sornieth, having deemed its peoples a threat to the balance of the worlds and unworthy of continuing on their destructive path. But the Jenizens are not ones to act rashly, nor are they beings bent on destruction for destruction's sake. Denim is a physical manifestation of good in their eyes, and if this sacred material exists in this world, surely it is not beyond saving. So they're putting forth a great trial to test the peoples of Sornieth, in the form of questions pertaining to material from their most revered ancient texts on virtue and morality.

In other words...

If Sornieth is still standing at the end of this week, that means the winning answers were deemed the "correct" answers in the eyes of the Jenizens and peace has been restored to the land! So the winning answers will forever be canonically, in the history of Sornieth, the true, right answers to their questions. According to the ancient and infinite wisdom of the Jenizens, that is.

There will be 8 questions, open for voting all week. Each vote will cost 10,000t or 10g. There will also be a bonus question that you can only vote in if you've already voted for one of the other questions. Badges will also be available for achieving certain criteria, or for purchase.

Votes will be automatically tracked through Google Forms.
