I am quite pleased by your answers; however the NPC question was more geared to you. If I had her enter the tournament it doesn't feel right making her opponent my own NPC. It would also make my posts quite long and one-sided for some time. Not to mention it's not nearly as fun fighting myself as you watch; since it naturally means more work for your posts I'll leave the preference to you.

I'll look up some examples of your city description for inspiration and attempt to post tonight.

My current availability is after 8pm CST - 2am CST Saturday and Monday - Thursday. I am off Friday and Sunday and may be able to post at lunch during work or in the early morning as well.

P.S. If you come up with a comparison or can find a good image for me that'd be great; the range of city styles Bing is pulling up is... in a word: [i]vast.[/i]
