I've seen it. It can be done. Although you may need some testosterone shots in order to make it happen.

Don't shave your legs or armpits Clo, I think that'd be a good place to start for female contestants.

Goldenboko
08-27-2010, 07:17 PM
You should do it in sections. Like "Best Speed Beard" which is whoever can make a good beard in a week and a best "Jesus Beard" which is the full 6 months of non-shaving.

Edit: Wait, so after it gets to an inch we can keep it trimmed or do we have to keep going 'til we look like Joaquin Phoenix?

Freya
08-27-2010, 07:28 PM
Beards are hot (usually unless you look horrible with one, and if you don't keep it trimmed that's not hot either)

Shorty
08-27-2010, 07:30 PM
Trimming is advised against - if you do end up trimming, you may end up costing yourself a prize - another contestant might choose to not trim and surpass you with beard epicness.

Contestants are encouraged to aim for a Joaquin beard.

The point of the contest isn't to have a nice, neat, shapely beard of an upstanding citizen. It's the grow the best damn forest on your face that you possibly can, making as little cosmetic alterations as possible.

It's not laziness, it's willpower and discipline.

I think that's way more reasonable.

You should have a sign up sheet so if people shave and get disqualified you can cross them off. That way if there's only one person left they get the prize and they don't have to go the full 3 months looking like a filthy beggar.

Or some :bou::bou::bou::bou:, I dunno. :tongue:

Six months of beardedness isn't that long. The itchiness goes away after a couple of days, when the hair is a decent length. DO IT DO IT DO IT I WANT TO SEEEEEEEEE BEARDS!

Shorty
08-27-2010, 08:44 PM
Well, three months is the minimum amount to receive a prize. If there are several members still going after that time, we have to wait until there is a winner. It could very well go on for six months!

So now I have to grow a beard, get weird looks from people because I look like some Caveman/Rapist, upset the girlfriend because it hurts her face when we have heavy makeouts, and give you my address so you can probably show up at my door possibly with a knife instead of a cool beard cover?

No thanks, psycho.

08-28-2010, 12:01 AM
One down, one to go!

As for late starters, I'm just trying to think of how it would be fair to the others who've been doing it longer. I guess it would really only be a risk to the late starter in the sense that their beard might not "fill out" as well as the others.

Open for discussion, I suppose!

NorthernChaosGod
08-28-2010, 12:17 AM
How about this: I continue to grow my beard after the contest "ends" so that all remaining contestant's beards will be of the same age. Or just go for a length of time longer than the last contestant remaining.

I'm still pretty sure I'll have the best beard at the end of six months even with the month wait.

You should let him try, Rye. ;-; He can shave it if he visits!

How about this. Contestants will be allowed to start after the starting date of September 1st, but anyone who does so is only eligible for the secondary prizes (mugs).

Only participants who have been competing since the official start date will be eligible for the crocheted beardaclava.

If the original participants all drop out, then the beardaclava will be up for grabs for the late starters.

As I understand it, at March 2011 you will decide? So this isn't a marathon contest?

Because I was just going to not shave and get an ugly 'tache and some chin hair and then declare myself winnar when everybody's ridiculously overdeveloped beards have to be shaved lest they get fired

bwahaha buck buck buck

Shorty
08-28-2010, 01:04 AM
No no no, it IS a marathon contest. The person who keeps their beard the longest wins. The prizes will all be issued once it ends - however long that takes.

It's not a six month contest - it goes until there's a winner. However, if everyone just goes for a month and drops out, I'm not going to spend money on prizes. The only way to get a prize is to keep the bear for a minimum of three months (has been changed from six).

Did that answer your question?

Shorty
08-28-2010, 03:44 AM
It's not a three month contest. The contest must go on for a minimum of three months, or I won't be issuing prizes. After three months, the contestants decide how long to continue it.

The committee will have to rule about postponing the contest. If you're wanting it postponed for a week or more, you're probably SOL.

Okay you need to spell this out for me. I'll address why later. In the interest of lulz I will be joining this contest BUT I need to know a few things

- do we start in Sept
- weekly pics fine, no question there
- after 3 months, then what?
- it's a marathon, so if I don't shave for the rest of the year (2011 until August) can I win?

Or do we go on until somebody with an awesome epic beard dies when it gets stuck in a pencil sharpener?

BTW to everybody this is a good piece of advice on what to do

Shorty
08-28-2010, 04:29 AM
- do we start in Sept - Yes.
- weekly pics fine, no question there
- after 3 months, then what? - Three months is the amount of time you need to be in the contest for me to agree to issue prizes to the people who win. If this contest starts and only continues for a month or two, I'm not goint to spend money on prizes. The three month period is to ensure that there will be a sufficient amount of time for entertainment. Not just "okay it's been a week, everyone's dropped out but one person where's the prize". The three months is set as an entertainment standard for everyone else. AFTER the three months is up, whichever contestants are left get to battle for the prizes. Say, if there are seven contestants and four drop out after two months and thre remaining three stay for over three months, only the remaining three will be eligible for prizes. The person who outlasts everyone will get the main prize. This person could also very well win the Longest Beard prize - there's no rule against not getting two prizes. And the final Best Effort prize will be issued to another person, but only if they last more than three months.
- it's a marathon, so if I don't shave for the rest of the year (2011 until August) can I win? - Only if you are the last person to shave.

Or do we go on until somebody with an awesome epic beard dies when it gets stuck in a pencil sharpener? If that person is the winner, the runner-up will take the main prize.

ARE ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED? Y/N

Well tempting as this sounds, I would have to trim lol. I just trimmed my stubble in to a beard (I will take a pic tomorrow during the day when it's light enough to show) Theres a very good reason for the trimming, the following two images are both of guys I work with...

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd286/Lasuria/beardepicness.jpg

Above we have Jesus of Surburbia or Dar'tanien or however the guys name is spelt in the 3 musketeers. He trimmed and even shaved around though normally much like Duncan from Dragon Age his beard had a smaller scruffy stubble beard surrounding it, the above picture is fairly epic.

Now ladies, apologies for the next picture but it's the best one of his beard I could find:

Now if some of us guys did 6 months no shaving with no trimming we'd end up looking like the above picture, a freaking hobo in skinny fit silver trousers peeing in a plastic urinal at a festival somewhere. Yes I work with the guy. He recently shaved his beard off completely it was such an epic morning when he came to work without it that I didn't actually recognize him. Personally I would rather avoid having a scary beard like that.

I would be in with a thin chinstrap goatee/tache mix but no the above image will never be true of me.

What is the minimum number of contestants required to last three months for the prizes to be up for grabs?

The Committee has ruled that the "late starters don't get the main prize unless blah blah blah" rule is kindof redundant.

Clarification: beard kept the longest amount of time gets the main prize. If someone enters four months after the contest begins, they must keep their beard for a longer amount of time than the members before them. This makes it possible for any new members to also compete if they choose.

Example: The contest starts. Four months later, NCG starts. Everyone but Jiro and NCG drop out. Jiro drops out one months later. NCG must keep his beard longer than Jiro kept his in order to receive the prize. If he doesn't, it'll go to Jiro, because he kept his beard for the longest amount of time.

If someone wants to re-enter the contest after dropping out, they can (this could go on for months and months, but I doubt it will), but their time must start over.

The OFFICIAL rules will be posted again with any revisions before the contest actually begins.

You didn't recognize the guy because his beard was gone? How many people do you know that wear silver semenslayers?

You'll have to wait a really long time, facial hair does not like me :( Though I have two days before Wednesday so if there's any truth to this 'shaving speeds up hair growing' business then constant shaving between now and then make me bleed to death speed up the process!

I hear if you let it grow for a few days then shave then grow then shave, you are conditioning it to grow more. So even if you just have baby stubble, like shave it. Or something. I honestly don't know what i'm talking about... BUT IT'S WHAT I HEARD!

K Just remember to truly win the competition you must post a picture of yourself wearing some super awesome silver semen slayers with the beard flowing in the wind, peeing in public is optional! Frankly the idea of seeing anyone in silver semen slayers is good enough to declare them winner for life!

I just checked the exif data on the photos I took, and found that it says they were taken at 09-01-2010 at 430am (give or take)! wtf etc but anyway, I'll take my photos after midnight because I simply do not have time in the morning to be taking photos, even if it's just one or two.
