Dragon Warrior Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 [center][img]http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/3707/otakutiesnz1.jpg[/img] [img]http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/9339/round3listqa5.jpg[/img] This thread is the part of the contest where the public may get involved. It is used for the critiques of contestants and the all-new betting system! Read on to learn more![/center] [b]Critiques:::[/b] [indent]After every round ends, the public will begin their scoring of the contestants. Though I previously stated that voting will be done where members literally vote their favorites, Charles and I have developed a better system that will also let the public do more than simply shout names they fancy. It's simple: when each round ends, anyone (aside from contestants) may begin critiquing the contestants. You will post who your favorite contestant(s) is/are and the one(s) that were/was lacking a bit. You'll give constructive critiques about what you enjoyed in their submission for the round or what they could try and do better next time. Then, after the "Voting Session" is over, the panel of judges (Charles, DeadSeraphim, and myself) will look over the critiques given by you, the public. We will then award the top five with points like normal: [list][*]1st Place- 5 Points [*]2nd Place- 4 Points [*]3rd Place- 3 Points [*]4th Place- 2 Points [*]5th Place- 1 Point[/list] Though some of you may scoff at this idea, it does help secure some fairness in the contest as well and your critiques are what sway our judgement, so be specific with your notes! So in the end, just follow these steps: [b]1:[/b] When I say the round is done and voting is open, you may begin. [b]2:[/b] Make a post in [i]this[/i] thread stating your critiques on your favorites and least favorites of that round with what you liked and what you didn't like. [b]3:[/b] Wait patiently like a good Otakulite for the three judges to post their results and begin the next round. Of course, if you think your job is less fun now, why not take up your gambling side? Read on to learn what I mean.[/indent] [b]Betting:::[/b] [indent]Introducing one of the most exciting features of The OtaKuties Contest, the Betting System! The public and contestants alike may bet "OtakuBucks" on the people in the contest for who they think will get a certain place. It's great fun and it'll save you money by not making you go to a real casino and blow all your cash there. The system is simple and fun! Each member who wishes to bet starts with 200 OtakuBucks. You cannot bet more than you have, so at the very beginning, the most you can bet is 200 OtakuBucks. Place as much money as you can on a contestant when the Betting Window is open and if, at the end of the round, the contestant gets the place you bet they would, you win the money you bet back and more! For example: This scenario is being used as if Charles wasn't a judge. [i]I announce that the round has began and the betting window is open. You have 200 OtakuBucks. You bet 150 OtakuBucks Charles will get 2nd Place this round. The betting window closed when the round ends. Everyone starts critiquing. The voting session ends and the judges make their decision. The scores are announced and Charles did end up getting 2nd place. You will back your 150 OtakuBucks as well as 150 more. So in the end, you win 300 OtakuBucks and now have 350.[/i] The betting is simple. You can bet on as many members as you want (I suggest bet on only a few, at most) as long as you have enough OtakuBucks. To begin your betting session, just simply post in this thread and I'll start your OtakuBucks Bank. You can always come back to this post and check how much is in your OtakuBucks Bank. [b]You must either join betting during Round 1 or Round 2.[/b] Joining during Round 3 or later is not allowed. In other words, you must place a bet during Round 1 or 2 to be entered into the Betting Contest portion of the event. As said before, your betting maximum is how many OtakuBucks you have. The least amount you can bet is 50 OtakuBucks. All betting will occur while the round is open and contestants are posting their pictures and answering their questions. Betting will stop when the round ends and critiques begin. All critiques end when I say so and then the judges give their scores. A new round will begin and betting will start once more. The cycle will continue as that. Everyone can bet, even contestants. The only ones who can't are the three judges. The benefit of betting is that the person(s) with the most OtakuBucks after all rounds are done get to choose the style/theme of the picture for the last round as well as the interview questions for the last round. Yes, there will be a special ending round later. So get betting![/indent] If there are further questions on critiques, betting, and posting as a contestant, feel free to IM me or PM me. I will answer any of your questions. [center][size=4][b]Betting Window Is Now Closed.

John Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I'd bet, but I'm never going to submit myself to using the word "OtakuBucks" in context. I'll still do the critiquing though, probably. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissWem Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 [COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Arial]Ah! What beautiful people! It brings a tear to my eye. This is going to be oodles of fun. Let's stir the pot a bit shall we? 50 on Baron to take first, and I swear it's at absolutely no betrayal to my Kiwi heritage. Australians can be a very charming bunch. And 50 to Sara for second place. No reason ^_~[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheResplendent Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 [FONT=Tahoma]Alright, after much diliberation I'm putting 100 Otakubucks on Zeke for first place. BK likes :D. 50 Otakubucks to Desbreko for second place. [/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 *looks over pictures posted so far* :animesigh It seems I'm out of my league right now. Oh well, I put 100 otakubucks on Ezekiel for 1st!! When i saw the entry submission, I thought, "WOW!" The lighting is great, you have a beautiful face and the little stars in your hair just added to the cuteness of the whole thing... Then I saw the Round 1 picture... It was just as good, if not better than the first. I have confidence that you'll take first over all, but since we're only betting on round one, I guess that will have to suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 [color=darkred][size=1] I'll put down a c-note on The Boss to NOT make the top 3. Despite me being such a fine piece, I'm apparently past the underdog stage.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
