Welcome to Word Enchilada S01E03
We write prototypes, eat enchiladas and get in
fights
What?
A microquest for Everything2 in the spirit of Game Jams
How?
The updated rules are in Word Enchilada Rules, but here’s the TL;DR
- Just before the Quest starts, a theme will be revealed. Please
don’t spoil it for yourself, only read it after the official start
of the Enchilada1;
- You have 48 hours to write a prototype2 that follows3 the
theme;
- You post the prototype in this node;
- ???
- Profit! You will receive fabulous prizes4
After the Quest is over, you’re encouraged to give the noder below you
some feedback on their prototype. Bear in mind: the goal of Word
Enchiladas is to write for fun and outside of one’s comfort zone, so be
constructive and be kind.
Theme!
The theme for this Enchilada is:
QBA’G WVAK VG > E2 Rot13 Encoder
The suggested nodetype is:

Start and end times
The Word Enchilada starts at March 26, 2021 12:00 PM and ends at

Notes for today: The Enchilada Master has been *very* busy these days, but prizes for S01 E02 will come soon! We appreciate your patience. Also, I'll read your messages soon, but thanks a lot for your words of appreciation, they do help a lot in these dark days :)

I’m not smart enough to know the full implications—or indeed, meaning—of medical terms… Sorry :( +5 |

You owe the Enchilada Master a 500,000-word essay on the attributes of God, whether turning a man into a frog is Good and whether the acts of God are what define Goodness. I want it in my cubicle by Friday before lunch. That will be all. +10 |

-
The idea being that you shouldn’t prepare anything beforehand,
and that you should only have 48 hours to work on your writeup.
But I’m just a footnote, not a policeman.
-
The word “Prototype” is important here: you’re expected to write a
quick draft, not a perfect, well edited writeup.
-
The phrase “Following the theme” is purposefully ambiguous. Be
creative :)
-
Actually, some GP, depending on how much the E2 gods can spare…
