If you like creating content, the Mission Architect system in City of Heroes offers a lot of venues for your creativity, and it's certainly one of the most-touted features of the game. Now, you might be able to get more than just the joy of having other people play through your creation as a prize. There's a new contest on the official site that promises to be the first in a series, allowing a lucky designer to receive a special title and possibly even the coveted Designer's Choice award for their mission.

Sound like your sort of contest? There's a single catch -- you have to work within a given theme. In this case, the mission arc has to involve a hero doing evil for the greater good. That's a theme so ripe for exploration that we're all but certain several people came up with mission arcs just reading the line, so if you're firing on all cylinders take a look at the official rules and then get cracking. The contest ends on December 7th, plenty of time for crafting whatever story you think is best -- and considering City of Heroes: Going Rogue will be out before we know it, the submissions may wind up being more appropriate than you think. Considering that... well, who knows what winning might do for your future? Best to get to work.

Way to exclude all your non-American, Canadian or EU players from participating in a contest that awards an in-game prize of a fancy title and an in-game badge/title valued at $0.00. Very clever.

Especially since this contest makes a special effort to include EU after the board merge.

Sorry the rest of the world doesn't exist for ya, NCsoft subsidiary. Weren't your ultimate paymasters Koreans again?

What possible legal issues could there be for getting an in-game title? I guess they get broken every time some innocent GM gives out a holiday event title without checking IP addresses first.
