Despite the image, we’re not currently accepting nominations for the 2018 Tournament of Simulations (ToS). But that will happen very soon… so stay tuned!
In 2016 we published an article on how to win Squiddies that explained in great detail how the process works. Even though that piece briefly discussed ToS and gave what is still the best advice regarding ToS (Just Enter!), we thought it would be helpful to pull back the curtain on this competition as well.
So here’s everything you need to know about the Tournament of Simulations:

This article was submitted to us by OngoingWorlds member Phineaus:
There are two big things that I have learned by being on the site.
The first is that while I may enjoy reading different genres of writing, writing in them is not as easy as I thought it would be. I have jumped into two games and learned quickly that my style of writing did not fit. I have been enjoying reading the post and following the games, but it is hard to jump in a meaning full way. Because my writing style feels like a flat tire. Read More

It always delivers. Every single time. For those who may have unfortunately missed the 2018 Simming Fall Festival, it was a day full of provocative discussions, live role plays, and interactive trivia games. It was fantastic from start to finish in every measure: A real testament to the power of our broader community. Simply put, FallFest was a blast! Read More

Click here to find the schedule of events, the Discord channel, and much more! Josh Hina and his leadership team from the TNU Project and other clubs have quite the extravaganza scheduled for us throughout the rest of the day. Feel free to pop in anytime!
It doesn’t matter if you’re into Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr. Who, or something else entirely. Or if you prefer chat sims, play by e-mail, or message boards. If you’re a simmer or online role player of any persuasion, there will be something there for you! But what do you really get out of FallFest? Here are 4 reasons you should attend: Read More

That’s right, the 2018 Simming Fall Festival is scheduled for December 15th! Indeed, TNU Project has been selected as this year’s host, and Josh Hina will serve as chair. We’re going a little different route this year as TNU is not a club in in the traditional sense. Instead, they’re a member of Ascension Sims. However, Josh and co. already have an outstanding line up events ready for December 15th. Read More

It’s time to select a FallFest host! Well, it’s actually past time! We held SciWorld later than usual this year and wanted there to still be a good gap between the two. Anyway, we’re now accepting applications to host and chair the online roleplaying community’s premier event: The Simming Fall Festival (aka FallFest). This will be our 8th festival since beginning back in 2011. Read More
