Hallo contestants. I have a surprise for you, kind of.

Firstly, thread creation in this forum is moderated, so don't bother unless it's super cool.

Secondly, there are no teams or confessionals or any of that other bull:bou::bou::bou::bou:. There will be no thirty-five smurfing journals to be read. This is a free-for-all with this forum as it's base, and that's it.

Thirdly, the forums staff holds all the voting power. We may smite you at will. Tremble.

Fourthly, this competition has one rule that applies through the duration of the competition and can get you eliminated at any time: Once a newbie thread has been posted, each contestant has 36 hours to welcome that newbie. Any competitor caught not welcoming a newbie within 36 hours will be immediately eliminated. This applies to any newbie thread posted after this thread is submitted.

Fifthly, this is a high-paced competition. If you don't plan on being here every day, plan to come back and find your name crossed off the list. This isn't some cute and fluffy game, this is our forum, this is our home, this is our life.*

P.S. Non-contestants can post in this forum too, that's coo'.

True, though in this case it's just a popularity contest among the forum staff rather than the entire forum.


Once a newbie thread has been posted, each contestant has 36 hours to welcome that newbie.

I don't think there should be. It wouldn't be fair to my opponents.

Also, I don't like the way you have phrased this as a "Free-for-all". This is supposed to be a competition, yes, but we aren't just fighting eachother. We are supposed to work together to find the best out of all of us, which is why I liked round two last time, where we split into teams to rate the members of the other teams.

Momiji

Also, more ranting.

I don't like the look of this first task. We shouldn't be picked based on our creative skills, we should be picked based on our people skills, and leadership skills, and our ability to follow the rules. This first task doesn't seem to have anything like that, unless you are trying to see what the members look for in a Cid's Knight, but if that's the case it would have been much, much better to just ask that direct question.

Yes, but that's not what I'm talking about. You as the staff shouldn't be looking for people just because they are fun. You should look for people who others are comfortable with, who they can trust, and who they can love, but will still follow the rules. I don't know how this task will show any of that.

Freya
03-20-2010, 11:28 PM
I dunno I wouldn't want to have to deal with an unfun CK. They'd be funsuckers. Suckers of the fun. They would make this place boring and... un fun.

To be fair, they may say that the least best will be eliminated, but that can be complete BS to make us work hard. You missed the sign up, you're pissed, we understand, but Shlup is trying the her best and none of us (but one lucky one) will find out how the victor was really decided. If it makes you feel any better, I still love you.

You should look for people who others are comfortable with, who they can trust, and who they can love, but will still follow the rules.Those are some nice ideas, but nope, sorry, we only pick people based on how fun they are and nothing else. We have an index ranging from "NOT FUN" to "CID'S KNIGHT" that we use to grade all applicants. Trust? Love? Rules? What the hell is all this nonsense? You're crazy. Stop being crazy.

...although crazy can be fun, so maybe that's your angle. You're a sly one! Full marks!

03-20-2010, 11:34 PM
Actually, I'm not at all angry that I missed the sign-up. I just kind of said "Aww, oh well". And I'm not trying to be mean to Shlup, I am just posting what I am thinking. Isn't that what we should all do?

People skills lead to trust...

Trust leads to respect...

Respect leads to love.

I certainly don't know what they talk about in the Site Staff forum, but I'm looking at it as a test of effort. It's easy to just make stick figures in MS Paint or slap together what's technically a haiku. Maybe they want to see who actually tried.

Or maybe it's just for fun.

leader of mortals
03-20-2010, 11:45 PM
Psy also follows the rules(Most of the time). So Psy Follows the rules, people are comfortable with him, he is trustworthy, respectable, and I love him. Sounds like a perfect mod to me.

But then there is Del, a much more serious person(but still with a sense of humor). He also follows the rules, and he is also trusworthy, comforting, respectable, and lovable.

Being constantly funny and jokey are fun, but thats not all people skills are. People need to be helpful, and strong, and nice as well.

I certainly don't know what they talk about in the Site Staff forum.Like we let those orange titled squares anywhere near our secret treehouse. :colbert: All they talk about is Baloki. Seriously, I've seen their forum. It's wall-to-wall threads about Baloki. Not even joking now!

Anyway, if anyone is really genuinely worried that we are going to pick a CK based on their poetry skills, fret not. We all have many values in mind about what would make a good addition to staff. We're not entirely basing it off this task, so relax and have fun!

I didn't sign up for this. If I'd seen the thread in time I might have but then again I'm probably not going to bother signing in on a daily basis so I probably wouldn't have.

Now that I think about it though it probably just means that even if I had signed up the contest would've been rigged to ensure that I didn't win.

Your just jealous because your not still on SS :p

No, welcoming members shows that we care that they joined our forum in the first place. In doing this, it also shows that we actually do remotely care that they choose to join our forum and not another down the road.

Also, if a person doesn't even have 10 secs to welcome a new member then I hardly doubt they have the time to actually moderate a forum 100% such as this.

Shlup, I'm not ":bou::bou::bou::bou:ting on your game". I was only posting my thoughts on the first task, which caused people to attack me. I'm not saying you are doing a bad job, and I don't know how this first task is really going to go, I just don't like the look of it, and decided to post how I didn't like it. How is this wrong?

I didn't really want to sign up this time, but if you want me to, that's fine, I guess. Personally, I would rather see someone else like AK or Freya(Lekana:mad2:) win, because I think they would be better than me. They are both funnier than me, and I think they would be better.

Edit: The above sounds kind of weird coming from a guy with a pedobear set, doesn't it?

And Shlup, I didn't mean to disrespect you, or your strategies. I guess I just need to learn when to keep my big mouth shut, or at least be a little less harsh when giving my criticism. I am sorry.

The feeling of being a Cid's Knight would change from person to person, I'd assume.

You're all probably wondering why I selected those people up there.

Once a newbie thread has been posted, each contestant has 36 hours to welcome that newbie.

And then, to this post:



Does the newbie thread thing count "I'm back" threads? :0
Yes.

Now take a look at this:

It's been over 36 hours and those seven people did not welcome me back. According to the rules, you are all eliminated. ;)

Sabotaging attempt successful, Raistlin.

You were gone for 8 hours, not years (you posted at least 150 times before that thread, over several months). I hope Shlup disqualifies Raistlin for this obvious sabotage.

I'm not angry at you, I find a little sad, but meh, your time to waste. I would however be angry at an admin who'd take that seriously.

Says the guy continuously spending the past few days on EoFF for a blue title.

I hope you didn't actually think this would happen.

PuPu, stop making people mad because the whole point of EoFF is to be nice to people. I will have to edit all of your posts to say lovely things about kittens and rainbows because that is how we operate around here.

I take a dim view of moderator sass and you will be prosecuted to the full extent of internet law.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't posts in Wonder Square and Frocobo Stables not count, anyway? :p

EDIT: Wait, DD was eliminated, so it doesn't matter, anyway. :p

I wouldn't put you in the cage for it (I'd let paul do that), but I might splatter you in a mongeese. :)

But I'd do that anyway.

Okay, PuPu has made me lawl. I admit I am tempted to just eliminate all of those people but I really want to live to see tomorrow so no. xD

Well that was fun. Successful joke topic was successful.

I was pretty surprised that my topic didn't get locked/deleted sooner. I had thought that the staff either didn't notice it, or noticed it and didn't care. Still, I was curious as to what would happen. Anyways, I don't have anything against those people that were on the list. They just happened to not post in the topic.

Good luck to those still in the competition. Yeah, even you, AK and Rodarian.

Yes, I know :p And Paul would oh, so happily do that, too. Just as he has done the past 1million+ times. :greenie:

Maybe, but she has to read over every single post and determine the quality.

Just search for posts by a given user in all forums except Adventure forums. If the post on the bottom of the page (being 50 per page) is after the start time, you pass. xP

You already passed that part! now it's just them deciding who to eliminate. They already know you got the 50 posts.

That's why I set it up for you guys to be able to narc on each other. Something I learned as a teacher: get the kids do do as much of the work for you as possible, and grade work as you go not just at the end.

This competition is all about efficiency.

Yeah guys it's all about efficiency; getting the largest possible spike in activity in the shortest amount of time.

~*~Celes~*~
03-25-2010, 05:05 AM
Well you have to figure, activity really isn't all that great around her, except for the Ciddies when EVERYONE is suddenly online and refreshing the page so often that the forums break from time to time. So, using this to boost activity was a good idea imo.

Momiji
03-25-2010, 05:06 AM
Activity is a good thing for all parties involved. I have yet to understand why so many people are bitching about this. I've been having so much fun in this competition that I haven't really even bothered visiting the other sites and their forums that I frequent these past 2 days. With all of these new threads comes a bunch of discussion opportunities, when frankly, really interesting threads have been rather sparse lately.
