What about a 'Best Character Contest?'

Held once a year, somewhere around the first -or last- of the year. Winner would get bragging rights for the rest of the year. (In the form of a 'Signature award', say an image or something placed in the winner's signature)

People would nominate eachother, of whom they think should win, they can't vote for themselves, and CMAC (Or a set of judges composed of popular/experienced RP'ers) decide from a roster of characters, review their writing, their story etc.

It's based on a score system, 1/10. A person can have up to fifty points at one time.
Here's an Example:
[Player's Name]
[Character's Name]

9/10 Writing style (Rated higher with better writing, lower for bad writing)
8/10 Character development (Rated higher for good character development and going into background and making connection)
5/10 Action (Rated higher for good sense of action and delivers it well, Rated lower if otherwise)
7/10 Drama/Suspence (Rated higher for good sense of D/S and writing, lower if writing isn't good or bad sense of D/S)
6/10 Collaboration (Rated higher for collaborating with other players without godmodding, lower if the player takes too much control or godmods)

Total Score:
35/50

Review Roundup:
Expand


Voting will be controlled by CMAC, taking on 'Versus' type matchups. Say, everyone, in round one, votes for their favorite of the matchup.
Here's an example:

First Round Matchup

Badim Soilding vs Daegon Selanno
Voting Results:
Badim Soilding =142 Votes < Daegon Selanno =185 Votes


etc. etc.

Voting would result in a bottleneck, with a handfull of characters going to the finals. With multiple characters getting second chances for lower ranks in the roster.

Second Chance round matchup
(Would consist of only characters who failed in the first round)

Tseneca Lowry-Fink vs Badim Soilding
Voting Results:
Badim Soilding =58 Votes < Tseneca Lowry-Fink =112 Votes


You see, I would have lost this all together, but then there'd be next year. I purposely put myself in last as to not get people angry with me, and not going onto the final round (Which would consist of the score system) with Tseneca Lowry-Fink and Daegon Selanno as I wouldn't want to chose and get players angry with me again.

All of that was just example, not how I thought of things, of course I do think your both better than me, Cheapy and Jess.

Anyways, any comments? Think it could be something we could work on? I think it'd be cool, and with people always gunning for it, there'd be less godmodding, better posts and better charactes (I hope). Because everyone would be gunning for the bragging rights of having the best character for the year.

Oh, and winner of year one, cannot enter year two, and can only enter year three, giving other characters a chance to be up there, and not just have a uber-awesome character being the champion forever.

It was just an idea. If it doesn't happen, it doens't happen. It just popped into my head, and I thought it was a good idea. But I knew it was up to CMAC.

Just expressing myself :D

What?! Ideas? Expression? THERE SHALL BE NONE OF THIS IN THE KINGDOM OF CMAC! :evil:

And my concern is more... well, people being told their characters aren't "the best." Some of us get rather attached... :p

Although... maybe some friendly competition would be good. I dunno. But probably do several categories.

I'm not so sure about just having a 'best character contest,' but I can easily see it benefiting the forum to include more categories in order to recognize more users.

It's definitely something we need to discuss.

And with the 'Collaboration' Category in the scoring, where your rated lower for godmodding, depending on the extent. Players would want to keep away from it, almost completely eliminating godmodding.

But still encouraging collaborating with other players.

I have a better reason to keep away from godmodding: it's illegal and gets you banned. :p

At least, when it's intentional and persistent. Accidental godmods could figure into that, though.

This is good.

I had a thought. Instead of solely making this about characters, perhaps it could be about the players behind the characters…? If so, then I have a few categories…

Most Likely To Help A Newbie
Best Attitude
Most Terrible Spelling
Most Friendly
Shortest Fuse
Best NPC
Best Roleplayer
Best Signature
And more!

Just an idea, what do you guys think?

Somehow, I think the booby prizes would be a bad idea.

Not necessarily. It could prompt improvement for some, or spark humour in others. Though if people find them offensive they could be left out, naturally.

Sparking improvement would be good... still, it doesn't help to be known as "Biggest Godmodder" or "Design Spammer" or "Shortest Fuse." :p

Yeah. Especially since we already know who's planning on spamming designs.

(Very late reply)

That actually wouldn't be a bad idea. I vote yes for that.

I don't know, I feel like we're all mature enough to give each other constructive criticism so that we do better. I don't see what would be wrong with friendly competition.

NO WE'RE NOT! I'M TAKING MY ADMINSTICK AND GOING HOME! :(


:p

I dunno. If you guys really want to do it—and are willing to accept responsibility—then it's fine in my book. As for the rest of CMAC, you'd have to ask them. But, if I get even the slightest whiff of the OOC dementia we had in VIII...

I don't see a point or need, personally. What are we honestly suppose to get out of this that we couldn't do through other means?
