EoFF Loves Wiki! - Contestants Needed
Let's get right down to the nitty gritty shall we?

This is a competition that satisfy your inner desire to make unnecessary updates to the Wiki, for the future generations of EoFF. We will have rewards much in the same style of EoFF Does Vegas, random stuff throughout the course of the thread, with a Custom Title for the overall winner :) Yes, yes now I know what your thinking, "GB you idiot just tell us how to compete". And I shall accommodate your demands. Everyone will have a score, the score cannot decrease, and is increased by making edits, new sections, etc., etc. to the Wiki. Now let's go over scoring.

Scoring
1. Making a new article in the Wiki, no matter what it is about (Let's say I add Laddy to the member's list), will get you .25 of a point.
2. Adding context to an article instantly gets you .25 of a point (adding context doesn't count unless you've added at least 15 words. If you haven't done at least that then you really haven't done anything.)
3. Quality scoring, see next section
To stop this from becoming a big spam fest where whoever makes the largest array of stupid edits to the Wiki takes home a gold medal there's going to be a quality control! No stinky rotten tomatoes shall get pass by this inspection :kaoangry:. A few judges shall be critiquing the edits you all make you see. Who shall be these judges? Why volunteers of course! Thats right, any of you who like critiquing the work of others because you're too lazy to do any of it yourself actually can participate. The judges shall go through a very easy process and your edit will end up with a "Quality Score". This score will then fit into a bracket for extra points.

If your score is...
0-3 : No extra point
3.1-6.9: .25 Points
7-9: .5 Points
9.1-10: .75 Points

If anyone wishes to find out more about judging PM me, or if you know you wish to judge already, just PM me or post here.

Now, ~~just because I know you all are more interested in this then the Wiki~~ fyi...

Prizes
Every four days of competition the Top 3 scorers of those four days will be eligible for a "Prize". Whether this be everyone picking Custom Titles for each other, or someone having the power to change a lesser score's avatar is not to be known be y'all. ;)

How to play For Dummies :jess:

Now, time to give you an example of how this will be played. Before making this thread, I made an edit to my page of the Wiki. To get credit for it, I made sure I put MY USERNAME as the Author. Then I copied a "before and after" to be posted in the thread. And highlighted what I changed.

This will make things easy for the judges, and me. Now if you did an edit of something that would make your post HUGE then you could edit the before down with "..." and then just put what you edited in the after segment, like I did.

Then, .25 would be added to my score and (we'll say the judges gave me a 4.2) .25 extra points for quality. Simple no?

Alright everyone, sign ups start now. You can sign up to play (although not to judge) even after the game starts, but then the rest of the contestants would have a head start ;p

Be good if someone could add Ciddies wins the profile or something. I might see about making a few additions when I have time, but I think it's a great idea if we can get the Wiki updated and with more info and content.

Might take part but I'm not sure if I'll have much time to do so.

I would like to judge, if you would care to have me. :jess:

Btw, this is quite cool. We suffered a major Wiki update failure after Meat Puppet moved onto the farplane. ;o

NeoCracker

Meh, I'll join in as a Judge.

I don't have the care, nor do I pay enough attention to actually do the editing. :p

I'll add you to the list just in case xD

Hmmm, should I judge? Or would the fact that everyone hates me get in the way? xD

You can be the Simon Cowell.

What's the bets we end up with 50 judges and, like, 4 contestants? Lazy bums! xD

I was actually worried no one would want to take that job xD

Is libel permitted? If so, does good libel get bonus points?
08-26-2008, 09:01 PM

If I think so, it does. :D

I would say that such a comment is pretty sad, but I will rise above and wish you fun at judging.

On the second though, I think you should give AK my position! I thought it over and I really don't want to commit to something when I'm going to be busy starting my first two weeks of college, and if it lasts past then, when I'm spending my vacation with Huxley when he visits. I'm probably going to be off the computer way more than on, so I don't want to screw the competition over because I'm busy. I think he'd fill my shoes better because he'll be able to participate. :)

This is an awesome idea, GB! I'd like to compete, but I don't really have the time these days because my travel is only 12 days away.

Also, maybe now someone will finally make a wiki article about me *hint hint* :monster:

It sux that the All Recent Changes link doesn't work anymore, cause that's a nice way to check what's new. *hint hint* :monster:

oh and i'll be a contestant. I don't care about the contest though, I just want to update the wiki.

08-27-2008, 11:50 PM

Oh, that explains why the last change was made in June xD
08-28-2008, 12:14 PM

Yeah, I've updated the wiki at least 3 times since then, so something is definitely up.

I still say that I should win this by default.
