I don’t even remember what the prize is. I just remember that I want it. Ultima Online is having a contest for players to write up strategy guides. Actually, I think they’ve decided that strategy guides are a good idea but they don’t have the manpower to write them, and this is a trick to get other people to do the work for free. I don’t mind; there’s a prize, I just can’t remember what it is offhand. I think it was a virtual prize, too.
So the deadline is Saturday to turn in a strategy guide about “Treasure Hunting,” something I can do cuz my in-game character is a treasure hunter and I’ve been playing the game for years. I’ve already developed the outline, filled in details, ….. and then stalled. Maybe it’s because I work better under pressure, and I’m creating some self-induced pressure by waiting till the last minute. I’m afraid I’ll blow it off at the last second and I’ll be disappointed in myself after because I could have won a prize, whatever it was. I don’t think I’m going to do it today, though.
