Make Your Case: a weekly contest


Apparently i'm just going to keep recycling decrepit old threads, as Gaia puts it, and trying to bring some of the life and community back into the AT. This was a thread originally owned by Miss Sher!ock called Make Your Case. It was such a great thread, that I decided to remake it, of course with Sher's permission. Without further adieu welcome and enjoy!

This will be your average weekly contest (but not actually weekly, knowing how lazy I can get) with a theme/inspiration for the round that whoever wants to participate in may participate in and with whichever judges care to, judge that particular round. Pretty typical, right? Except... instead of just submitting an entry and leaving it up to the judges' decision, you (and everyone else) are encouraged to advocate for (or against) the entries submitted. Furthermore, rather than a rubric, judges will come to a consensus about which avatar wins the round after listening to what others say and after discussing it themselves. This means there's no numbers at all. Just a bunch of commentary and discussion (x/10-haters rejoice!).

So come join the fun and be prepared to Make Your Case!

Rules

arrow Entry is free. Prize is 1k each round for the winner, but you must remind me if you want your prize. If you don't ask for it, I will assume you don't really want it.
arrow You can enter any round you like, unless you're judging that round.
arrow Tektek is not allowed, and the avatars must be your own.
arrow You may submit old avatars if they fit the round.
arrow I'll leave 3-6 days for submitting entries. We can start judging once it feels like there has been a sufficient amount of entries based on general community interest. If you're thinking of playing tell us! We want to get as many people as we can to play!
arrow You are not required to advocate for your entry (or against anyone else's entry), but you are strongly encouraged to.
arrow Lurkers may also advocate for or against entries.
arrow When discussing, be polite but honest, and don't take it personally if your entry is criticized. You are encouraged to say negative things about an entry IF you honestly believe it, but being a d**k is still out of the question.
arrow There will always be three judges, but they may vary each round, except that I will always be a judge (But sometimes i'd like to play along!).
arrow Judges are to consider the round's theme. For instance, they should not pick an entry that barely or doesn't at all fit the round. However, it's not all about who did the best execution of the round. They should focus most on the quality of the avatar overall.
arrow During judging, at least one day will be reserved for letting contestants and lurkers discuss the avatars.
arrow All commentary is to be kept in the thread as to promote discussion amongst players.
arrow Beyond that one day, judging will take as long as necessary for judges to come to a consensus.
arrow Judges can ignore what others say if they disagree, but they have to consider what others are saying and allow themselves the possibility of being persuaded.
arrow There is no ulterior form of deciding a winner, all Judges Must come to a consensus on a winner in order for the contest to progress onward.
arrow Signing up to judge is a commitment. I will expect you to be around for the round that you've signed up for. Check back occasionally to see if it's coming up. If you sign up and have to disappear when it appears that your round is coming up soon, LET ME KNOW so I can do another round instead with judges who are actually here. However, I will PM you before discussion starts for your round if I don't see you in the thread, so you don't have to keep quite that close an eye.

exclaim I will only accept people I know as judges, or people who have been quite active in discussion in the thread in a way that I approve of. If I don't know you and you haven't participated in this thread, do no bother applying to be a judge.
exclaim To sign up as a judge, send me a message for the rounds you are interested in judging.
exclaim Your commitment is only for the one round. I encourage you to sign up for multiple rounds, however I do value the variety of judges so that we can include a variety of opinions!
exclaim If you don't meet the judging qualifications at first, participate as a contestant! Come play, meet new people, make friends and work up to a judging position!

Future Rounds & Judges

You may post in this thread at any time to suggest a future round. If I like it, I'll add it to this list. If you're interested in judging a round listed here that has an open judge spot, PM me to let me know, and if I approve of you, I'll add you into that spot. If there are no open spots but you REALLY wanna judge that round, if I like you enough, I'll give up my judge spot for you to have.

exclaim Got an idea for a round post it!

Rounds will be played in no particular order. If I have a full judging panel its more likely that it'll be played sooner rather than later. Also if you reallyyy want a round to start sooner than later tell me, the more buzz there is about a round the more I'll want to play too!
