User talk:Defiant Elements/Skill Design Contest

Judging
Alright, here is how judging it going to work for this competition. In the case of the Joke skills, I am just going to straight up decide the winner as well as second and third place finishers and a pair of honorable mentions.

In the case of the serious skills, I am going to pick 5 skills and allow people to vote on which one they think is the best. Each vote will count as 5 bonus points to the score of the skill.

New Contest
Hmm, a contest. I'll have to put in the idea from my user talk page... -Samurai-JM - 21:26, 11 April 2007 (CDT)

So many shouts I wanna do, can we do more than one entry? Apparently so.--Nog64Talk 21:39, 11 April 2007 (CDT)
 * ya, how's the multiple entrants thing? i've a whole collection. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 21:58, 11 April 2007 (CDT)
 * You can have as many as you want, just realize that I may just stop looking at your submissions or take points away if you flood the page. Quality over quantity.  Also, @Nog64, you need individual pages for all of those skills as if you were writing an article about each.  The more complete the page, the higher you will score for that section of the rubric (note that the rubric is not yet finished).

 * all done. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 00:46, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Changed the contest to meet standards. What's about the max you'll take, out of curiosity?--Nog64Talk 21:29, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Not sure... depends on how good they are. Certainly no more than 10.  [[Image:DE Sig Test 2.jpg|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  22:59, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh no, does this mean I have to pull some of mine? Or do you mean 10 for each category? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 16:33, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * 10 for each category. [[Image:DE Sig Test 2.jpg|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  16:33, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * That's good, now I can go and make...7+2+9 = 18 more! [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 16:42, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Withdrawing entries are we Entropy? [[Image:DE Sig Test 2.jpg|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  17:02, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Only tentatively, I need to shape them up some more to fit the rubric imho. The ones that show now are ones that I am definitely entering...the commented out ones I may or may not withdraw, depends if I can fix them up or not. Don't get your hopes up though :) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 17:32, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

End Time?
When is the contest closed to submissions and when do you start "grading"? Eronth 18:38, 12 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Not sure yet. Depends how many submissions I get and how soon they come in.  I want at least 20 for each category to have a good pool to choose from.  [[Image:DE Sig Test 2.jpg|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  21:55, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Not sure you'll need to judge that third catagory. I don't see anybody about to compete with that contribution. --   23:40, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Not even sure how you would judge the third category lol...Readem (talk *contribs ) 23:41, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * don't chicken out, throw up an environmental effect, monster skill, or usable item. i'd like to see something like Signet Polish --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 23:51, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I would, but im not sure if ill get my submission done on time Eronth 00:11, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, you will have at least a month or so. [[Image:DE Sig Test 2.jpg|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  13:13, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Alright then, am i allowed to change something that already exsists, (specifically, i may plan on remove all "no inherent effect"s and make them useful)
 * I'm in. Can we make skills for our made-up proffesions?&mdash;[[Image:Cheese.jpg|50x19px]] Cheese Slaya  ( Talk ) 19:06, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, you can, but I am not sure I will accept them.... [[Image:DE Sig Test 2.jpg|50x19px]] *Defiant Elements*   +talk  21:54, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
