    Default Task 3 - Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. - ENDED!

    The following contestants are still eligible to participate in task 3:
    Jiro - Withdrawn
    Raistlin
    Moon Rabbits - Threw in the towl
    Momiji - 2 points
    Jessweeee♪ - Immune from staff voting
    Vermachtnis
    Xaven
    oddler - eliminated
    Rodarian
    Goldenboko - 1 strike - Immune from staff voting
    ~*~Celes~*~ - 1 strike
    Sagensyg - 1 strike
    some fat guy with cheese - eliminated
    Freya - 1 strike - 5 points
    Aerith's Knight - Immune from staff voting


    In task three we're going to expand on the importance of being active and also add a new element that is important for any Cid's Knight: vigilance. You may stumble upon some spam, or maybe some flaming. You may see a new member and think, hmm... that person seems familiar, or maybe too "with it" to really be new... You may see an old thread bumped. In each of these cases you will need to be able to decide what is trash and what can pass.

    And so for task three you will:
    Part 1:
    Make at least 50 quality posts. Each of these posts, in order to help you insure they are of substance, have contain at least twelve words in order to be counted. Posts in Wonder Square and Frocobo Stables will not be counted and may be less than twelve words.

    Part 2:
    You may report posts (using the "warn" button) by others you think are not quality posts. If you do this you will receive points.
    A poor quality post by a regular member is worth one point.
    A poor quality post by a site staff member is worth two points.
    A poor quality post by a forums staff member is worth four points.
    A poor quality post by an active contestant during this task is worth five points.

    Posts in Wonder Square may only be reported if the offense is necroposting or flaming.
    Reporting posts made before March 21st will not get you any points.

    If you get six points you get immunity from being voted off by staff for this round.
    That means you cannot be eliminated by us, mm'kay.
    You can still be eliminated the other ways though.

    Note: "Poor quality" in this case means something that is worthy of being deleted, snipped, warned, or closed, not just something that's kind of spammy but going to be left alone.


    Part 3:
    If one of your posts during this time is deemed poor quality by another contestant or is less than twelve words, you will be eliminated.

    Part 4:
    If you report three posts that are deemed legit it shows your jugement is too poor to be a CK and you will be eliminated.

    Three people will be eliminated in this round. That means that, even if everyone makes the deadline, you currently have a 20% chance of being eliminated. Unless you get immunity. It's fairly likely that the people with the three lowest amount of posts will get eliminated, even if you make the fifty. Doing the bare minimum gets you a C-, you know.

    You have 24 hours from now to complete this task. GO!

    Do we have to link each post we make? :0

    EDITGA: Also, this challenge should be sorta fun as it will just mean replying to all the threads we made anyway xD

    EDITGA2: Also, also, we can't make posts with less than 12 words? Like at ALL? I think posts with less than 12 words just shouldn't count toward your total.

    Does it count if I made a post less than twelve words before I read this thread?

    edit: And do we need to put all the post we make in this thread?

    Please note: Site Staff members can't give poor/spammy posts so warning them will just invoke the wrath of Thor.

    No, after the 24 hours are up I can just search for your posts in the last 24 hours and the site will list them for me.

    I think I didn't ask you what you think. TWELVE WORDS OR MORE FROM CONTESTANTS.

    No points for Momiji from Psy. There is noting poor about FROTHING VAGINAS.

    You may go back and edit them. Second question answered above.

    Well great, now I need to ramble on in every response, because it is "absolutely necessary for Cid's Knights to always be as long-winded as possible, much like this response" (lol see what I did there).

    Just joshin' just wanted to be sure on the rules so I didn't get disqualified because I answered a yes or no question, or something stupid to that degree.

    Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work I go. :sing:

    I FORGOT PART FOUR! READ IT BEFORE MY INBOX EXPLODES!

    Momiji, you're off the hook for that one first reporting.

    Jessweeee♪ has discovered a thread revived for no good reason after a month of being dead. By a site staffer. 2 points.
