Writing competitions, I imagine, would be tournaments were writers could bring their work to be judged. The event would prob'ly be sectored into periodical catagories to make judging more simple - e.g. It is hard to compare a sci-fi with a classical writing.
These would be fun events for people to get others opinions on their work. Poetry could also be included in this event.
Mass spar-like events would be similar the Peanut Gallery Rebellion or IDCs on DAB. There would be two sides (or more, as the site grows), pitted against eachother in combat. Of course, neither team would actually shed blood or injure. This event would be held in a safe, no-kill environment, of course. Don't want to kill off yer own army, right?

Those were the basic ideas. I want you guys to elaborate and discuss them further. What do you like about the ideas, and what do you disagree with? What do you want to see in them? What would be the ideal (keep it reasonable, please) reward(s) for them?
I encourage you guys to /actually read/ everyone's posts too. Someone might have a good point that you might want to consider before posting.
Keep open minded, and don't slam other people's ideas 'cus you disagree with them. Be good little children now... ;D

Here are my thoughts --
The writing comp would be difficult to pull off at this point. The site is still small, and it would prob'ly die out quickly. I love writing, and I would like to submit stuff. But one can already do this on the Campire board. Maybe they could make a specific section for OOC stories, poems, and writings. Of course, rules and close moderation should be kept on this thread. All entries should abide by the rules (mainly the part about being appropiate and personal info-free).
As for the mass spar-like events... They sound really fun! I would like to see these occur between the sections of the army (ranger, warrior, blacksmith, etc.). This kind of event would be a very good training ground for RPers, and fun as well.
However, since the army sectors are still small, I would suggest that they be teamed up - e.g. Warriors, Blacksmiths, & Cooks vs. Healers, Rogues, Rangers.
I am not sure what the prize would be, since we do not have a currency system like DAB.
