[On the wall of this old, spooky abandoned house all the children of your street avoid by fear of being haunted, you find a strange looking placard made of yellow paper.
While the rock-band posters, circus announcements and old newspapers covering the worm-eaten wood are as torn apart as usual, this tract seems like he's been there forever, enduring winters and decades of pollution with heroic defiance.
But it didn't. Hell, it wasn't there five minutes ago when you got out to buy some milk in your local store. The old-timey characters attract your eyes, while the pictures of weird-looking people are moving in a weird, entrancing dance - Awesome Character Concept Creation Contest. What could this be ?
You shiver, thinking that this wicked paper could only have been made with some kind of impossibly high technology, and you lose it as paranoïa, fear and doubt about life fills your heart - but you quickly regain your senses, as you suddenly remember in a sigh of delight that this probably is just kind of cheap magic enchantment.
"No more coffee without milk in the morning", you think, relaxed !
Trying to touch the paper, you hear the wood moving with a loud squeak, revealing the open door of a house you thought was sealed decades ago. As you take a step further to close what you already imagine as a dark room filled with drug and squatters, bright spots blind you, and a music invites you to enter, step after step, like struck with a nifty Fascinate effect. In front of you, a kind of giant, green, haired worm covering it's eyes with pink star-shaped sunglasses over a big circular mouth made of teeths begins an incredibly interesting speech. No drugs here, but a guy dope on the mic' !]
Dear forum users,
Ladies,
Gentlemen,
Grumpy rules lawyers,
Paizo employees,
Almighty devil overlords watching over Paizo's game designers,
Armchair geniuses,
Helpful members of the roleplay community,
Occasional trolls,
The-man-who-pukes-in-every-post, ME BARBARIAN, ToZ, Ravingdork, Benign_Fascist and every star shining on our virtual, roleplaying sky...
I, Maxximilius, which you probably never heard about before, am proud to announce the opening of the 2011th edition of the Awesome Character Concept Creation Contest, or "ACCCC" !
(Despite what the name looks like, this event isn't sponsored in any way by the great, powerful and eternal Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Bless Mother Russia.)
*Cough* *Sneeze* *Cough*
During this contest, the proud roleplayers attempting the challenge will have to come up with awesome character concepts, if possible full with a short 20-point buy, 5, 10, 15 or 20th level build using legal Wealth by level. Building existing characters from popular culture in a playable way is absolutely allowed if you are a jerk, but a jerk with taste ! (Anyone building Edward from Twilight shall be sentenced to read Twilight until their eyes bleed their own urine. And it is even more painful than it sounds like.)
From the bard-barian to the whip dominatrix, passing by Machete the mexican, the goblin gunslinger, the fat hobo monk, the impaler hurler, the legendary able-to-survive-a-fight-rogue and the nova sorcerer unleashing the heat of the sun several times a round against enemies ; let's creep the most strange, impossibly awful or/and useful combinations and awesome characters that the Core Rulebook, the APG, the UM and the UC inspired to your twisted mind !
Are you a power gamer ? Do you love playing double-wielding scimitars drows ? Is combat something bothering you ? Do you know the rules so well you make DMs cry as a hobby ? Well, there is a place for everyone !
There is no loser, ladies and gentleman !
But ! The winner shall be awarded a special forum title* = *sparkle*Awesome Character Concept Creator*sparkle* !
But there I already see a handsome person coming and proposing his character ! Don't be shy, let us see the awesomeness of your creation...
*A special forum title could not be awarded during this contest for any reason the staff would judge reasonable. A special forum title isn't sellable, can't be traded and could not be awarded under the staff's discretion. The jury declines all responsability for a winner not being awarded a special forum title.

[The great green worm apologizes to it's own PostMonster overlord for unintentionnaly wrongly using the term "official".
The great green worm remembers to the players that if the two previous interventions didn't make it clear enough, there is a strong prossibility of not being awarded a special forum title**.
**A strong possibility may imply that none will be awarded. No reclamations will be allowed if no special forum title is awarded. If no special forum title is awarded, no special forum title is awarded.]
