Yay for literature!
Teams: In this competition we will start with 2 teams of 8. Everyone will write about a subject. I will then judge each entry. When your team loses you vote off 2 people from your team.
Scoring: I judge on a scale from 1 to 10. After all scores are added up, the team with the lower score will lose. I will show all individual scores.
The Literature Games: Once 8 people are left in the competition, you fight 1v1v1v1, in a huge arena. I will give you a basic description of the arena, and then you write about killing all the competitors in the arena. You get to choose 1 weapon to start with. This is called the Literature Games (Yes like the hunger games.) One person will survive, then you fight the winner of the other Games.
The Finale: You fight 1v1 with special powers and again one weapon of choice. Both entries are mutated so that it takes very much to kill. You will have to write about that. You also have to write about training, which is 3 days long. Again you will fight in an arena, which will be given to you.
Note:[b] You will be given this information again when the round comes
[b]Note: The whole thing is writing. No pictures, and by fighting to the death I mean writing about fighting to the death. By training I mean writing about training, etc.
I know pretty obvious, so don't ask about it.
Note: Each round can only be so long. I will wait for you to finish, but if you take too long you will automatically be eliminated. If you know you will take long, please notify me.
[i]Note: You will be given updates all throughout the competition by me, so please do not close your messenger.
Remember just 16 participants, 8 on each team.
Seeing as the deafline isn't for a while, I would say all thid worrying is unneeded.
It should be the average of those who submitted. Otherwise, the contest will be based around which team has the most submissions, instead of which team has the best submissions.
I also think that the winning team should have the option to boot non submitting players off in order to make room for other people who want to join, like Thoad.
Okay, so you can vote off an extra person if you lose, and get Thoad or Nico.
I suggest something.
Jdogg and I each give a score out of 10 for every submission, we add up all the scores than -5 points for every user on each team who didn't submit, then /2, and the team with the higher amount of points wins.
The only problem is that one team can have a lot more slacking users than others. Any suggestions?
That would be a good idea. But I have a better one. Yay! Yay!
We the people who didn't enter as 0. But then to find the average, each person who enters only counts as 1/2 an entry (also could be a 1/3 or forth...), so then you divide by a smaller number.
Ex: 8 8 9 10 10 0 0 0
8+8=16
16+9=25
25+10=35
35+10=45
=0+0+0=45
45/5.5 entries=8.18
or
45/5 entries=9
or
45/4.75 entries=9.47
Confusing ino.
13, 15, two on 17..
Team1: Aknerd, Freakenstein, tomertheking, Jezz, Parsat, Alt, Xzeno, wolf1991, Xverb
Team2: Slayguy8, Zaork, thepossum, Fallensky, Joey6855, SecretMapper, Poisonn, KR, Wajor59.
Italics are people who've submitted...correct me if I'm wrong or missing anything. So only 4/18 people have submitted so far.
Deadline is in 12 days.
Yeah.
New suggestion: If you don't enter you are out, and then you take turns drafting new users for the next round.
FT, we have 5 entries.

To: jgoggparty and firetail_madness,
Should I rewrite my story?
When I though up my story I wanted to show how someone could be prepared for a "roughing it" vacation, bring a few supplies, but wind up not needed them. I still think my story missed the point if I'm supposed to make something to escape the island. I also don't think I should have a cell phone or even a pocket knife.
Wajor, nooooo! Everytime someone asks a question like that it gives the judges an opportunity to make the topic more restrictive, and then I have to go rewrite my story... Again. Seriously, I try to get as far away from the intended theme without actually breaking any rules. So even just clarifying the rules hurts me quite a bit.
Is there a set deadline? Because I work from Thursday to Sunday and I just came back from vacation so I'd need some more time peeps.

I think it is ok, but bringing a gun on a vacation? Take that out and replace it with something more survivor like, and it is fine.
So the word limit is 2250?
Hmm...I think I spent too much time on getting onto the island...
