//Background
Based on community feedback and general numbers of people who use the race, we feel that a redesign of the Partaxian race may be in order!

For this reason we have decided to hold a competition while getting valuable feedback from the IC community in actually implementing changes they may like to see!

//The Competition!
Essentially the idea is to put forward a race that you feel is fit to have the title 'Partaxian'!  This race has a long history and has been played in many different styles.

You are to design a race that has a Magic focus and is playable, ie a viable option for people to use.  This race must clearly contain strengths as well as obvious weaknesses!  In your submission, present the race changes you propose as well as outlining the positives and negatives of your race.

//The Reward!! (The exciting bit!)
For this competition we have deemed fit to provide a unique reward!! For this one time only (not necessarily going to be done again in future) we are rewarding the winner with a unique Forum Tag for 2 months!!

The title of the tag to be awarded will be decided soon!

//Proposal Submissions
The submission of your ideas can be done in two ways.  Either you may post your idea here, or you may e-mail it to us at [email protected]

Feel free to post your thoughts/ideas/races here.  Community is your best tool to see what's needed out there.

//Winner!
It will be difficult to design an ideal race so the winner will most likely be the person who comes up with the closest match to the race that is chosen by the Mods.  So I repeat, please remember that the winning race, might not be what is implemented!

If in the event two races are the same, the player with the earlier submission will win.  For this reason, be wary of editing your posts as this is the latest time stamp that will be taken into consideration.

//Points to Note
- Only one entry per player is allowed.
- The Partaxian race will always remain heavily Magic focused.
- Try not to create an 'All Mighty' Partaxian race.  The race must have positives as well as drawbacks.  We will never implement a race that has too many strengths.  People have a tendency to overpower rather than underpower a race, so please brace yourself for a possibility of a race that isn't as strong as you expect.  We want to make Partaxian viable for use and a great option - but not flood the universe with them!
- Clearly define the postives and negatives that come with your designed race.
- Keep in mind these idea (including the best of them may not be implemented and mods will have final judgement on what changes may be introduced.
- Winner of the competition is solely at the Mods discretion.   Do keep in mind that the actual race may differ considerably depending on which way Partaxians will be in the future.
