Hello there, and welcome to our humble little contest.
Since so many people loved the idea of taking the Mods out ( can't see why 
), we decided to make a contest starring us, the Greeters! Yes we are very full of ourselves. 
So, to change it up a bit we are going to give you a few options to choose from. There will be more on the way along with a heck of a lot more points. 
Option 1 by
IrishYndina
"Your amateur sleuthing skills and years of playing Clue have helped you discover that there is something weird going on at Storywrite. All of the Greeters have a strange secret in real life, and you now know what it is. Do they all eat massive amounts of brussel sprouts? Does each Greeter have a stage name and a high profile profession in real life? Is each of the Greeters actually a mythical or magical creature that you didn't think existed? You tell us!"
Option 2 by
Gerifitzsimmons
A spaceship crashed in the middle of the desert. Some of the creatures survive and move into cyber space taking up residence on Storywrite—they’re called ‘Greeters’.
Option 3 by
Tallblondie
"Trouble in the Wild West!
Sheriff Kylia Skydancer and her Deputy SageSyren have been shot dead in a midnight shootout. Was it the the rogue cowboy CactusJack? Or was it the connivingly smooth political lobbyist IrishYndina? Or could it be the peaceful owner of the General Store, gerifitzsimmons?
The new Sheriff, tallblondie, has chosen you as the lead bounty hunter to bring the criminal to justice. Your task is to investigate the main suspects as well as the remaining residents of Greeterville - the snake-oil salesman Vernatia, the Bank Manager Andy Stephenson, the Newspaper Editor whichcraft, and the Terrible Twins - Cheerful-Panda and SnowRose-Wolf.
What secrets and intrigue will you uncover? What devious schemes are afoot in Greeterville? Who was the real killer and what were their motives? What really happened that dark and stormy night?"
Option 4 by
whichcraft
A Justice League is being formed due to all the crime that is building up in our cities. Write a story that depicts the greeters as superheros with superpowers and place them in an epic story to save the world.
Option 5 by
CactusJack
A patient has managed to escape CyberBarbara's mental hospital; aka the CB. They have decided to hide in plain sight as a Greeter! It is your job to find out who is the crazy person posing as a slightly less crazy person.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 25, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 2300, Silver: 1200, Bronze: 600
- Final notes: Sorry for the delay folks. It's a little tough getting all of us greeters to stay focused on a particular topic for more than a minute at a time lol
This was a lot of fun for all of us (so much so that there are talks of a sequel). Maybe the next one will be a little more clear for those that didn't like the evolving contest. Great reads all around. The top three scores were very close. If you haven't, take a minute to read your fellow entrants' stories.
Anyways thanks to all who entered and we hope to see you again!
Your friendly neighborhood Greeters

Thanks...we think
-

Hehe, naw, I'm joking. I wouldn't be that unoriginal. I prolly won't do anything, due to no time. But good luck with it!

Are we allowed to reserve a spot? This sounds like fun XD
-
-
Sure, reserve away. Just use it wisely
-
-
wait...do you really have to die? Can I just....I dunno, endanger you?
-
-
Die? No one has to die.
Unless you're referring to Option 3; then yeah those two have to die.

Same mistake
I got the same impression from the summary line:
"You've killed the Mods, now what to do about those pesky Greeters..."
It could be made clearer, like having an opening line for the contest:
"Write a story featuring The Greeters from Storywrite."

-
Wow, I only just realised how many points were up for grabs.... Mebbe I can find time to do this...
-
lol
What is the contest called where you wiped out the mods?
-
Ooh, this looks fun. Maybe I'll enter ...
-
???
I thought this was gonna be a story! Meh, I'll think of something to post.
--RT -
This sounds awesome! I'll definitely try writing some thing up for this. An excellent idea Can't wait to see what people come up with

Wasn't this competition originally anonymous. I see it isn't now, but I thought it was when I entered. That's why I didn't reply to any of the comments.
Oh, and now I see a new Greeter in the list.
Adding options, adding greeters, changing anonymity. These Greeters make me mad. Perhaps I should just kill them all off in my entry instead... -

Greeters constantly change, it would have been unfair to have excluded one, no?
