This is an excellent read.

I just been to the UBI forum and was unable to register. Besides I was confused. Where are the contest rules? I think it will be fun to enter

Trying to work both sides of the forum here and it can prove to be a challenge. The rules are simple however I'm not 100% sure that these rules are the only rules at this time. The short story contest never really took off so there may be room to adjust or modify the rules.

The only rules I remember and that are posted are as followed

The closing date for all entries is the 27th January 2007.
The normal rules apply, a minimum of 1500 words
No pics or screenshots (keeps 56K users from getting headaches)
I believe content and language is also a rule but I cant find it.

I will try and get an answer to you about more rules and who is running it.
I did post a link to the subsim sticky as mentioned above in your post. So hopefully we will be able to link this together.

Also there is a screenshot contest as well on the UBI forum that you might be interested if you happen to have good shots. The rules are very strict so please read them carefully before posting in that forum. As always if there are any questions lots of friendly people are there to help and answer you.

As for the UBI forum registration I dont know why it would give you a hard time, it should simply be choose a name and password and fill in the required info. I didn't have a problem with it when i signed up. If you continue to have a problem feel free to ask for help.

Have a great day
