Ladies and gentlemen! I am proud to present to you a new contest!

This contest will reward you for benefiting the role-playing stage. How is that going to happen, you may ask? Well, let me tell you! First, be active in posting. Second, post with good grammar. Finally, post an interesting storyline.

At the end of each month (first time at Feb-20-2009), a one-month gift subscription to Sleuth Noir will be rewarded to the player that has contributed the most. The winner will be decided by the votes of six judges: Brietkat, David Adams, Makensie Brewer, Violet Parr, Clift Garrett and Acemaster. (Special thanks to Violet Parr for judge suggestions in November-2008!)

Each week, each of the judges will pick the one player whom they think have benefited the stage the most that week. At the 20.th in the month, the votes will be counted, revealing a winner.

The judges will send their picks to a detective named "Gossip Center", who will also display current standings for each week. Check in to see how you are doing! ;-)

There are some limitations, though. What is a contest without rules, right? ;-)

*Neither the judges nor judges second characters can be voted for.
......(This also includes me, as I am taking care of finances.)
*If you have won, you cannot win again until three more characters have won.
*If you have not won before, you will automatically receive 3 votes as a bonus.

We can't check every detail, but we hope to have an honor system. For instance, if you have won, please tell us you second characters to make it fair for other characters. If someone is caught "cheating", a proper penalty will be placed.

This is part of the Revive the Stage program. We do hope you enjoy it, and congratulations to all the winners! ;-)

(Thanks to Acemaster for helping me with proof reading. The day is chosen in remembrance of his birthday. The contest is planned to last 1 year, unless it's so successful it will be extended.)

On question, yoyofoshow seemed to be wanting to have the honor of being among the judges, rather than the possibility of winning. He is therefore added to the list of judges, due to one vote.

Also, for the first week, only one nominee have been added to the contest, and the current state show that it will be easy to get "your candidate" to end up as a winner.

As a sign of my true dictatorical skills, the decicion is made that after a winner is chosen, all the other nominee will remain on the list, with their votes unchanged, while the winner will have his amount of votes removed, and need to get a new nomination/vote in order to re-enter the list. This way I hope to encourage more people to enter the stage, because there will be a possibility to win in the long run.

With this post I also hope that it will be easier for the judges to find where to send their votes, as I hope for more votes, and more nominees.

Well...sorry to dissapoint you, yoyo, but actually there is no vote, as I am not a contestant. I can handle my subscription so it would be unfair for me to compete against people who actually need one, or at least want one. I RP only for pleasure and as I said in my [author's note] inside the thread, I have only joined it in order to keep it active so people who want to run in this contest could have something to work on. Of course, any contestant can also choose another thread or open his/her own.

So for now you only have 2 competitors to choose from: red_rose and Abdur...

Strange...I thought I made it clear I'm not taking part in this contest.

Well, anyway, I'm going to start a new story today, just for the sake of it and for the pleasure of RP-ing. Maybe you, judges could also stop being so shy and throw in a few words from time to time. After all, you WERE selected based on your RP skills and history on the stage.

LOL Hey Joey, I know you weren't entering, but currently we have more judges than contestants. I knew that would happen, but business probably won't pick up until we give out our first sub. ;-)

Anyway, hope you don't win! lol Just because you don't want to. ;-)

Ok now...my brain must've stopped working from when the cops shot me down in Paris, for I COMPLTELLY FAIL to see the logic in your post, Ace and also in you jury predecessors's also...of course, I mean the with all due respect.

Ace, you say: [quote] "I know you weren't entering, but currently we have more judges than contestants. I knew that would happen, but business probably won't pick up until we give out our first sub."

Now that makes NO SENSE to me for 2 reasons:

1. The point of the contest is not to give a subscription, BUT to REVIVE THE STAGE. If for some foggy reason (lack of management abilities, in my humble opinion) you have made all possible active RP-ers judges (I would guess someone didn't want to hurt anyone's sensitive ego), that shouldn't mean they are restricted to post. This contradicts the purpose of the contest. Also, this fact was never written down as a rule, so stop acting as movie stars on thrones and START MAKING SOME SENSE!
Also in addition to point 1, there has been established that for newcomers it is easier to join an existing thread, rather than start a new one. YOU LEFT THE STAGE ALMOST EMPTY! (I do hope my shouting was loud enough to reach your ears)

2. The decision of whether I AM (emphasis on "I") or NOT part in this contest is NOT YOURS, but MINE! SO...this is NOT A REQUEST! TAKE MY NAME OFF THE CHARTS!

Damn...my throat is aching. I thought this game was only producing what I believed to be an early stage of paranoid behavior. It seems I was wrong. It seems it's effects are the exact opposite of it's purpose to teach the use of logic in mental processes.

Digest all this before you answer.

First I have to apologize to the wording of the contest ending in a "revieve the stage". I know that I managed to offend people with that, even though that was NEVER my intention. As a foreigner, I am not too good with all english words, so I actually did not know the word revieve when it was presented to me. What I thought it meant, was what I wanted to, that is;
Have more people join the Stage. Open up for people to join the stage that might have felt locked out from there. Have people cooperate on acting at the stage, and having fun together.

And, I would definately NOT want it to be a "kill the Stage" contest.
I wanted the current, senior, still playing role players to have a position of honor, and it's very true that I did not want to hurt anyone.

I am determined on leaving all the voting to the judges, and the initial post have already pointed out who is valid for votes, and who is not. Whoever the judges gives votes to, who are in the group of valid vote recievers will get their vote. So, if someone wants to not be voted for, they need to interrogate the judges to not give them any votes. If someone wants to get a vote, they will similarily need to charm the judges to vote for them. And, the primary way of charming the judges are given at the initial post.

Hey, if Sleuth Admin finds he want to join the stage, and post in a way that charm the judges to vote him to winner, he will be the winner, even if it is probably true that he hardly needs a gift subscription.
