 After submitting the email, a reply should be added to the forum topic, stating that (in so many words) you have entered a submission for the current contest. If there is more than one topic for the current contest, also name the topic (or topics) for which you wrote an entry (or entries). While this is not required to enter, it is necessary as validation so that the prize is handed out to the appropriate member. Alternatively, you are allowed to submit your entry through the forum topic, though this carries the risk of letting other contestants view your entry before the deadline has been reached.
-Prizes will be determined on a per-topic basis. Some topics will be worth more (in terms of their prize) than others. '''The contest judge ([[Game Hunter]]) reserves the right not to award a prize for a given topic in a given contest if none of the entries are of sufficient quality to be worthy of the prize given.'''

 Each contest will accept entries for about one week: '''the deadline will always be Midnight GMT of that day''' ([http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com see here for the current GMT time]). After the deadline is reached, there will be, at most, a one-week period during which submissions will be examined and a winner for each topic will be determined. After the grading period, prizes will be handed out to winners.
-Regardless of the winner, all entries will have their strategies added to the Wiki. These will initially be posted immediately after the contest ends, ordered by date. After all entries are graded and a winner is chosen, the winner's strategy entry will be placed at the top of the page (with the others left unmoved).

This entry will then be used as the basis on which to add other components of strategy: the other entries will eventually be merged into this entry (and will be handled by Game_Hunter).

 *Do not use typical indentations under any circumstance. Indentations using the TAB key have no effect on the display here, and indentations created with spaces are meant for a different task. If you really want indentation, add a colon (:) where the indent would go.
 *Do not use any program-specific stylizations. Wikipedia standards have [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing their own procedures] for the styles you may want. You are free to use these in your entry if you believe they will improve the organization of what you are writing. (Here are [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples additional examples] if you need a full range of possibilities.)
 *Paragraphs should be of an appropriate length. If a paragraph is too short, attempt to merge it with another paragraph containing similar ideas. If a paragraph is too long, either split it into separate paragraphs or use a bullet-point format. This is often expected not just on Wikis but on any Internet forum as well.
 *Remove any word-wrapping before submitting an entry. Otherwise the transfer to the Wiki will require a few thousand backspaces, because the copy-paste was messed up due to the way that word-wrapping handles spaces.
