Purple Dinosaur Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 [align=center]If you haven't noticed yet, the name is a parody of the show "So you think you can Dance". Hello, I am Purple Dinosaur. I am hosting a new Competition in the YCM "Card Contests" Section where you audition with a card (via PM) and I shall judge the card carefully. Now I am going to use a similar system to the hit show, with an exception. So you begin by sending your Audition Card (via Private Message and NOT on this thread) to myself. Now, on the show, if your Dance is not good at all, you go home, simply as that. If the judges think you're good but need to be seen doing other types of dances, they'll stick you around for the choreography round. And, if your dance is pure genius, they'll give you a Plane Ticket to Las Vegas and you get an automatic grant to the Next Round. During Vegas, there are hardships you must endure (Like pains or sores, etc.) but in order to pass trough all the rounds, you must suck it up and prove you're a fighter. At the end of Vegas, the judges pick who will go through to the Top 20 (The Big Thing everyone awaits and wants to be a part of). Some don't make it, but they'll just re-audition the following year. Then, the Top 20 (those on the show, FINALLY) do some choreography on the Official So you think you can dance stage and they compete for the votes of the American Citizens. Those who do not get enough votes become the Bottom 3 Couples. Those 3 couples (6 dancers) must perform a solo dance to prove they're worthy of staying on the show. At the end, one guy and one girl are eliminated (and no, they aren't killed) and the cycle repeats until the finale, where the winner in finally announced. My approach is almost the same but with less things (you can imagine why). What is going to happen is: You send your Audition Card via Private Message (I repeat, NOT on the thread) to me. Now, it may take a few days for me to judge your card, but it'll happen. And, as I said earlier, I will PM you back with a Message saying if your card was either: A. Fully Granted to the Next Round.B. Was good, but I would like to see more talent.C. Not good enough for the competition. Note: Let me be clear with choice C here. If I say that your card isn't good enough for the competition, I am not saying that the card isn't good at all. I'm just saying that it needs just a little more improvement but I could not pass it to the Extra Round. So please don't Neg Rep me saying that it was a really good card and that it deserved to go on. I will agree with you, it was a good card, but you can try again in a couple of months when I will do an other one of these. Then, you may get accepted. [/note] For choice A, if you get this, you have no worries. You will pass directly to the next round. For choice B, I am implying either that I have seen you do better as a Card Maker OR that you have potential, but I want to see something else so that you can go on. I could also ask you to make a specifically worded card to see your capabilities as a Card Maker. So if you get choice B, you must make a second card (just one) and Message it to me. From there, I will decide if you go on or not. If you got choice B, and I didn't accept you the second time you made a card, you cannot make a third one. You'll have to wait for another one of these to be made. Now, If you have passed through (Meaning that you either got choice A or got choice B but got accepted) you must now make ANOTHER (yes another) card. But this will be the final card you make before the Top 20. You will PM it to me, and every person that sent me a card in this round shall get a reply for sure. If you get a positive, you will be in the Top 20 Card Makers. If not, like I said before, you can try out again next time. But, if you didn't make it to the Top 20 this time, you're almost a shoe-in for the next one. If you have made it to the Top 20, you will go through tough times. You will be paired (by me) with another member of the Top 20. The couple must create a card together and one must send it to me. The sender must also send a list of the roles that both people have done and what they have contributed in the card. If one person did all the work and the other person didn't, the couple (not only the slacker person) will not get my vote (or get it... if you're lucky). I will choose the Bottom 3 Couples and they must individually make a card to save their life. But, if you're eliminated from the Top 20, you get an automatic +Rep. It's a gift for participating. The cycle repeats until the Top 10. When you arrive at the Top 10, you will be paired up [/b]with a new partner[/b]. You will continue through the Top 10 and then on with that same partner until the end (or if one of you is eliminated). Please note that even though your partner is eliminated, you may still have a chance to stay. Now for the Top 4: When you have survived EVERY obstacle I threw your way, you've made it to the Top 4, and there you have a Finale. For this, it's everyone for themselves. Each Top 4 Contestant will make a Set of 10 cards and Message it to me within the Final Week of the Competition. After I have reviewed all cards in each player's Set, the Winner will be announced in this thread and he/she will receive a GRAND PRIZE! Now talking about Prizes: They are, After they are eliminated - 1 Rep Members of Top 4 (excluding winner) - 2 reps each And finally, the winner - 3 Reps per Week for a Period of 2 Months (In total, about 27 Reps) So I will start judging when I post this comment. Note: When the name of the thread says ">So you think you can Create | Auditions Over!<<" that means that the Auditions are over and the next round will begin. Audition Deadline: August 29th 2008.Extra Round (choice B) Deadline: A week after you get your Results.The Top 20 will be picked at the Beginning of September (probably following the Extra Round)The Top 20 will start Card Making October 1th 2008.The Winner Announcement: TBA. You can start Card Making, NOW!!![/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
