OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD

With the start of our tournament on the horizon, we will have a main thread for the proceedings of the tournament (much like last year) and the user/participant discussion of the tournament should only take place in this thread. We appreciate your cooperation.

I am honored to be the primary spokesperson/host of the tournament, and am very excited to see what wonderful pieces our competitors will put out. In saying this, I can tell you now that this year's tournament will be fun, challenging, and much different from the previous tournaments held... but you will find out more about that as the time comes.

Like I said before, the primary thread for the tournament should be up within the next two days or so... but for now, all OOC discussion of the tournament should go here. DISCUSS!

I'm adding some just to be sure I dont miss anything but I think it's totally up to us, if you can capture the feeling of it without the ring announcer takling or anything like that, than all the credit to you.

And come to think of it I am not sure I will do Taker now, so many great choices. Hogan in his hayday' waving the flag, Shawn 1996 coming down on the zipline, Triple H on the throne at Wrestlemania 22 (i think it was that event), Macho Man, Andre, classic Kane, etc.

This seems like an interesting qualification challenge...I was thinking of using someone cause I have a pretty fun entrance idea for them, but if I end up having to write a WWE match, I'm probably going to use him in it so I'm not sure if I want to over use the character. My consider someone else if I can come up with something just as interesting for them.

Does anyone hate me for my last minute entry yet? 8*D

I'm not a fan of the 'posting it in the thread' idea. I like the way it was done last Tourney when every entry and score was posted in unison using the spoiler tags. That way, if there's a particular match/promo/entrance/whathaveyou that one wanted to see/read again, no one has to go scrolling through several pages of stuff to find it and of course, with the spoiler tags, you only read what you want and don't have to go all the way down a post to find what you're looking for.

Plus, I feel posting all the entries in their entirety gives more of a competitive feel than actually posting them individually. In a legitimate competition, you can prepare for the opponent all you want - watch tape, scout players, read analysis, etc. But when rivaling forces meet on that one particular game day, anything can happen. I kind of feel like if people post it would spoil that. And for me personally, I feel more motivated writing something that I feel has to compete with everybody rather than just who has already posted.

Oh, and since the deadline is Sept. 11, you may as well disqualify Melvis. He probably won't post until, like, Thanksgiving. #CheapHeat

No not at all.

If my opinion counts for anything - Leave it until every entry has been sent in and judged and post them all at once with spoiler tags and whatever. Adds a lot more suspense and saves a lot of shifting through entries if you want to go back later on and read a certain one or two entries. But do as you please, KingRo/Brye. (Y)

I really hope people haven't entered this for the sake of a bloody coloured username. I don't need that, as a matter of fact if I were to win, I'd reject it. I only entered this for a bit of fun and because I enjoy writing.

That and to put the so-called "King" in his place. #BiggerJobberThanStoj

Just finished my entry. :p Hope it is good enough to scrape by into the next round. :D

Also, lol Kingpin. I didn't even know about the user title reward when I entered, my reason for entering was so that if I won I'd feel I've actually accomplished something here after a bunch of decent attempts and failed attempts. :D But I love colors so that user title color change sounds nice to me. (Unless it ends up being pink...xD)

Yeah, I'll try to get a bulletpoint from each of the judges to help everyone out. That's what its all about in the end. As for the method of entry... I'm keeping it as PM entries only. It's the most fair and unpredictable way.

I'm going to be waiting until Sunday night to start on mine probably. It's not exactly last minute, but pretty late. It's the only day I actually have time for anything, having school and working and doing ultimate frisbee four days a week :D
 
#75 ·
Yep, I sent mine in last night. I've got a few ideas in my head of what I would want to write should I get in to the next round and should the criteria allow me. Looking forward to reading everybody elses, will be interesting to compare each other's work, especially when the task is as different as this.

Damn, got some ideas that I should have done instead of what I sent in a few hours back. Guess I shouldn't have rushed inot things and sent it in, oh well, hopefully it's still good enough to get my through to the other rounds.

Can't wait to see everyone else's.
