The Contest Thread!

[Chris 2.1]

Just for clarifications sake, this thread will basically be for Judges to request doing a certain month. We generally have things sorted a month or so in advanced. Post in the topic requesting to judge a future contest. However you cannot make a request until the current months contest is up (ie: in April you can start requesting to do May)

[The Blue Avenger]

Uhm... you have to wait until April to request May.

[Mega Horny]

*slaps self* thought it was april *slaps self again*

[Chris 2.1]

We are taking requests for the May Contest

[Ace64]

I'd like to volunteer.Get some experience with it.

[Chris 2.1]

Fine by me.

[Greyfox]

Hm... I guess I'll volunteer for the June Contest...

-drew

[Chris 2.1]

Thanks Drew

[Saffire Persian]

I suppose I'll do July's, if you'll have me.

[The Blue Avenger]

If I'm not mistaken, July's contest is actually the Grand Festival, which has its own topic. The main judges are accounted for, but I believe you can still sign up alongside MLG to ref some of the battle rounds.

XD ooh - thanks for telling me. I thought the Grand Festival was a June thing. Thanks, though. ^^ I'll go and do that.

[Chris 2.1]

Yea you can ref the battle stages but we have judges for the Grand Festival. Once its finished we'll have a new season of exciting contests so you'll be able to judge then!

[Chris 2.1]

Anybody wanting to judge the October Contest?

[The Blue Avenger]

I can judge November, if that's cool.

[Chris 2.1]

That would be brilliant. Incidentally, didn't you ref last years December Contest? The one I won ^^

[The Blue Avenger]

That, aheh, would be me, yes.

[Saffire Persian]

Does anybody object if I Ref the December Contest? I have a big break from college then so I'll actually have time to do so. ^^

[Chris 2.1]

MeLoveGhosts is unable to host the February Contest.

If anybody else is able to, please let me know asap.

[Pichu Luver]

*waves hand crazily and bounces around* I'll do it! Now that I'm all Approved and stuffers in the Reffing Tower, yes I am still very interested in doing the Febuary Contest. ^^

[Chris 2.1]

Huzzah!

[Chris 2.1]

I'm going to be judging March: we have a very special contest planned :)

[Chris 2.1]

Anyone willing to judge April? TBA? Andrew? Anyone?

[Andrew]

I will, but I want to make a contest with a change ;)

Hehehe.

[Chris 2.1]

May?

[Chris 2.1]

Time to get a judge for June.

Also The 2007 Grand Festival is beginning on July 1st. Anybody who has won a contest ribbon EVER is eligible for entry. There are 12 places this year. I am going to be reffing some of it. I need 2 other judges.

[Pichu Luver]

Anyone up for judging December?

[Dream Breaker]

Seeing as I just got approved, I'd love the chance to be able to give it a go and see how well I am at contest judging. That is, unless you think it's a bit too early, River.

[Pichu Luver]

No, I think it's all right. I had only just got approved when I did my first contest, so it's ok.

[Pichu Luver]

*plops* Anyone up for January?

[Pichu Luver]

Since there was a lack of interest in the January Contest and contests seem to be taking two months to complete anyway, contests have been extended to last two months instead of the usual one. So... if anyone would like to do March/April contest sign right here please.

[Pichu Luver]

Anyone feel up to do the May/June Contest?

[DarkestLight]

::Blows dust off::

Ok. Time for this to risssse from its graaaave!

Anyone interested in doing a February Contest. We are going to see how well this January one goes-and if it finishes swiftly enough, we shall do a February one.

[Asilynne]

If it finishes in time can I do a feburary contest? I have a great idea for one :D

[Blademaster]

Are you even a Judge?

[Asilynne]

How does one become a judge? And before you get all "Angry Blademaster" on me Im honestly asking a question, and I want Nice Blademaster to answer it :P

[Blademaster]

Nice Blademaster says "Up yours.". :sweat:

You gotta head to the Reffing Tower. There should be a Mock Battle for a Contest on Page 1. Ref it, post it, and if you're lucky, you'll get approved as a Judge.

[DarkestLight]

Thank you, Nice Blademaster. LOL I laugh cause I say that, then I see Delilah in your sig and I crack up even more.

[Blademaster]

Delilah wants to give you a hug. Just like she gave that helicopter at the end of the movie. >:3

[Crazy Elf Boy]

MMMMM Helicpoter hugs, I love those

[Asilynne]

Thank you nice blademaster :>

[DarkestLight]

So..alright. The Tundra Contest is coming to an end! Sweet. Any takers for Feburary's contest? I'll do one again it no one grabs for it.

[Blademaster]

Can I do it? I'm not an Approved Judge, but there's really nobody else here... It'd be nice to get my feet wet in an actual Contest instead of a simulation (which is months and months old, anyway).

[DarkestLight]

It IS old huh? I should get on that as well. Or Hyp, if he feels like it :o. Umm I dun see why you can't ref it, you just couldn't get the ref benefits for it. Consider yourself conscripted.

[Blademaster]

Umm I dun see why you can't ref it, you just couldn't get the ref benefits for it.

Cheap ass. :sweat:

How about a deal: If I don't fuck up, I become an Approved Judge.

Sound good?

[DarkestLight]

Not cheap. S'in the rules >>

I would have said yes, but I'm gonna take that back, only 'cause the simulation may help you ascertain certain things to help with your actual reffing. I don't doubt you'll be good at it, I just don't want to seem like I'm bending rules and what not. Besides, the mock reffing would take you all of 4 minutes to write up, and the February Contest will be starting pretty danged soon.

I'm sure you can do the Mock Reffing -and get approved all before the Real deal :p

[DarkestLight]

Alright, since February passed w/o a Contest, Means I'm doing March-and I'm taking signups for April.

[DarkestLight]

April's almost here. No prob. I'll grab April. May anyone?

[DarkestLight]

May's in the final round, right on schedule. How about June, anyone?

[DarkestLight]

Smells like an exercise in futility, but does anyone wish to assist in the Grand Festival?

[Blademaster]

Now, when you say 'assist'...

[DarkestLight]

It means Yes, I'll be reffing some and you'll be reffing some :O

[Blademaster]

Well, I AM a Beginner Judge... I COULD participate, but...

I dunno, I'll wait and see if anyone else signs up to Judge. If not, I'll help out.

[DarkestLight]

o.O Wow I did a crapton of Contests in 09. XD

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

You were- scratch that- are the man!

[Blademaster]

As opposed to this place, which is... not quite so active.

I think even the COBWEBS have cobwebs...

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I put in the links on the first post for reference, a trip down memory lane if you will:D

[Oslo]

Oslo is requesting to judge the next Contest, which would begin roughly a week from now.

Yay or nay?

Vote nay and Oslo throws turpentine in your eyes. True story.

[Ash0011]

*sends out all pokes* we all say yes!

[BTPoke]

I say yay to that. The previous contest was pretty good

[DarkestLight]

Nay -.- Bring it.

[DarkestLight]

I only said Nay because I wanted to see if Oslo would actually throw turpentine.

[Oslo]

Naw, Oslo has no turpentine. D: You called his bluff.

Contest going up tomorrow!

[Ash0011]

yay!

[Blademaster]

Holy shit I can make a Ribbon for the first time in... months? Years? I don't even know.
