I'm SO totally in for the lassies
but does this have to be a live battle? I cannot do it live. I CAN pre-record it and send it in...

Not a Live battle, no,

It;s all recorded and sent in :p




MY PROPOSAL:


TO MAKE UP AN ORIGINAL SONG NO LONGER THAN 2:30 MINUTES THAT REFERENCES THE GENDER WAR SOMEHOW



That is the challenge



If you guys agree on that, we'll make it official

Ok - wait; this post contains a lot of new information. So...3 people will take place in the singing contest? I thought it would be 1 person per category and 2 judges (1 male, 1 female)? Wouldn't that be much easier to organize? I mean...this whole war-thing shouldn't take too long and if you want to have 3 people on the same day, it's gonna be hard. Other than that; add in the rule 1 person can only sign up for 1 category, so you can do more than 2 battles per week and thus it will be more fair for all the females to have a chance in participating. Why not make a 'war-week' or something? Should be do-able.

Here's the post I made with my ideas ;p:

hmm..


see, Shigs, if it's more than one person in each contest, we get more of a fair feel of "talent" within that area.
It would be too rough if it falls on just one person's shoulders from each team :p

Also, there are 7 categories, and a lot of them take SOME time at least to accomplish,
So, singing, and writing an essay, as well as drawing - that is nOT going to happen within a day for each :p
and it wouldn't be fair on the contestants either

By having at least three in each team participating, we'll have a more balanced "result". So, none of the whole "AH BUT THAT PERSON WAS FLUKEY!" or "BECUZ YOU'RE BIASED COZ HE'S A VET" stuff :p

a lot mORe people can take part, and we get a more realistic result :>

2 categories for each week will give people time to deliver., It;s no fun it's rushed .. or you disagree?
feel free to tell me if you do!

HmmMmmMmz. I just look at it as something reaaaally chaotic to actually organize when it's getting this big. Oh well, we can give it a shot. To sum it up (if I'm right):

-6 contestants in every category; 3 males and 3 females.
-You're only allowed to sign up for 1 category, so 21 females and 21 males will take place in this war. We've got to be strict here; we can't grant everyone's wish. You're either lucky or you're not. Depends a lot on the argumentation of course, since you want to win this ;p.

-4 judges per category; 2 females and 2 males.
-As a judge, you're only allowed to sign up for 1 category, so there will be 28 judges in total; 14 females and 14 males. Again; it depends on the argumentation.

-The list:

1. Singing Competition
2. Dare Challenges
3. Brawl Showdown
4. PodCast Debate
5. Haiku-Off
6. Essay Battle
7. Artwork Melee

-2 battles per week.
-48 hours to respond (let's expand the time, since we're gonna need quite some players and judges)

Did I leave out anything? And is this all gewd?

ALMost everything is gewd :>

I think we should make it so that people can sign up for TWO categories instead of 1


We do not have anywhere near as active girls as guys, and it'll be difficult to get 21 seperate lasses to join up,


So, give people a chance to take part in mORe than 1 battle.
2 maximum should make it JUSt right :>

Good point. I agree.

Here's the structure I used:

http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/...lads-camp.html

Maybe you can copy/paste it or something if needed o:.

Fantastic! =DDD

I just copy pasta's the terms and conditions so they'll be the same, for both camps :>

It seems that more girls are signing up than guys,
where was that bragging about guys already ready? and organised? ;p

As I alone don't speak for the male race itself I can not say anything when it comes to the organisation ;p. I'm just trying to help out in here.

But this is looking good! Let's hope people will actually sign up :].

I'm about to promote this in every clan o:!

Great stuff!

I spread the message by posting in my lassies' profiles, perhaps you can tell guys to spread the word that way, too :>>!

It would probably be a good idea to define all the rules for each battle right now, so that everyone knows what they're signing up for. We have singing, let's get the others set up.

Do I understand it correctly when you say people sign up for two categories, that this goes for the judges as well?

Having 2 male and 2 female judges per category sounds good to me, but having 28 in total.. are we sure we have enough people for that? Just wondering.

Good point, Nenny
Actually, thinking about that -


Don;t you guys agree with me that anyone taking part in ANY battles should NOT be allowed to Judge?

How about we just choose 4 Judges straight off the bat - both teams agree on them, and they'll be the Judges throughout the whole thing? A lOT less hassle that way, and no bickering over bias.

What do you say?



Shots, you make a good point,
Shall I write up my proposed way for each battle to go then we edit it or shall you?
Actually, you do it

If anyone disagrees, we'll change and tweak things till everyone's happy

Yeah, I'll type up some rules for all the battles and post them here.

I was going to say that judges perhaps should not be in the battles. So yes, that sounds good actually.

Hmm, yes, we might be short on judges. Let's just get general judges then, indeed. 4 in total? Sounds cool to me. 2 females and 2 males.

Here we go...

Fight One: Singing Competition

Battle Date: Saturday

Judges: Two Men, two Women, to be determined for all Fights

Contestants: Three from each Team

Rules and Regulations: Each team provides three songs from three contestants, either original or not. All must be themed upon the superiority of the contestants' genders, and can be original. Original songs must be shorter than 2:30 minutes, but other songs can be longer. Each team's songs will be submitted to the Team Leaders, Anime_Queen and Power Shot, to ensure quality, before being headed to the Judges.

Songs are to be judged in four categories: Team Spirit, Quality, Originality, and Entertainment. Each category is awarded one to five points, with one being the lowest and five being the highest, and the Team which garners the most points wins the Fight.

There will be three matches, and each Contestant will fight three matches against another, predetermined Contestant. One Contestant will record the matches, and send them to the Team Leaders, Anime_Queen and Power Shot, to ensure accuracy, before they are sent off to the judges. Matches are not judged, but are checked to make sure no foul play has taken place, before they will be posted on YouTube and ZeldaUniverse. The Team who wins the most matches wins the Fight.

Fight Four: PodCast Debate

Battle Date: To Be Determined

Judges: Two Men, two Women, to be determined for all Fights

Contestants: Anime_Queen and Power Shot (predetermined)

Rules and Regulations: The PodCast Debate, which will be aired on the sixth PodCast, requires one Contestant from each Team, so as the PodCast doesn't get crammed. Contestants will be asked five questions, to be submitted to the ZeldaUniverse C-Cast. These questions will be picked by the Judges and confirmed by the Hosts, who will be asking the questions. Each Contestant will have a chance to present their opinions on the subject, then debate against one another.

All subjects are to be Gender-related questions, to ensure amusement. Neither Contestant is to know in advance the questions. Judges will then be brought into the PodCast to be interviewed by the Hosts, where the winner of the Debate will be announced. Both Contestants are to be judged in three categories: Knowledge of Subjects, Professional Courtesy, and Diction. Each category is awarded one to five points, with one being the lowest and five being the highest, and the Team which garners the most points wins the Fight.

Each Essay is to be a minimum of three pages, with a maximum of five, on Times New Roman, twelve-inch font, double spaced. Each Essay is to be submitted to the Team Leaders, Anime_Queen and Power Shot, to ensure quality, before being sent off to the Judges.

The Winner!

The Winning Team is the Gender which has managed to win a minimum of four Fights. The Winning Team, therefore, is allowed to force the Losing Team to perform a humilating act in display of their defeat. This will be agreed upon by the Team Leaders, and voted on by the Team itself.

Looking fantastic, Power Shot!

Though I am wondering about the dare battles. Is it a good idea to have only two of the judges design dares for the opposing team? I mean, judges are supposed to be neutral. So I'm wondering if you can't just have all judges create all dares.

It might be strange for four judges to judge dares that were designed by two of them.

Looking really good Power Shot!

2 little things tho;

Are you sure about the PodCast thingy? As far as I know, Anime_Queen doesn't really want to take part in that, so that could be a problem. If the judges are doing their job, it can be organised easily with more than 1 person. Wouldn't a number of 2/3 debaters for each gender be more fun? Usually, the two debating teams consist out of 2 people per team. That's how the official national debate-contests go in Holland, at least.

The rest sounds really cool, tho the dare-thingy is pretty vague - the judges are supposed to be neutral, so having them to send over the dares isn't really...logic. Maybe the complete gender-groups can think of the dares?
