Starting a new competition september , need some feedback on how it will work please. Title, Noob of the Month, Disciple of the Month or Noobie of the Month ? Who can enter , anyone who has not reached the graduation points How too enter, nominate yourself, your disciple , a friend or total stranger , just tell us why you/they should be the winner. Entries taken for 2 weeks then 1 week to vote/judge and 1 week to award prize. Prizes will be donated , i suggest max of 15 ped value[first 2 months sorted] Should we decide the winner by a single Judge or by Voting ? not sure how to set up voting Hopefully this competition will catch on with the steady growth of the Chronicle it will be a success. Please leave your thoughts and ideas
Gratz Cantbe on this Competition! :D The title Disciple of the Month might limit the number of entries in the competition since not everyone is disciple. It's the best title however. That is because someone with 1K of skills in a profession cannot be called noob, isn't that right? So I vote for Disciple of the Month. I think Voting would be great as long as the contestants are at maximum 10, because I think the voting system only supports up to 10 entries. Judging might confuse things. My :twocents: Once again Gratz for promoting EU Chronicle :clapping:
Fantastic idea cantbe! My suggestions... I'll definitely put up some prizes for this - how about a full noob kit? armour, gun , fap, scope, amp, clothes - a full set of nice basic stuff to help get going. I would say anyone with no skills > 1k eligible Entry by nomination, or from self by a proof of good acheivments in the required critera. 2 Weeks might be short - unless you have a big advertising splash - always willing to help fund ingame adverts if you put EuC on them, also you already have advert space on EuC if you make a banner. Winner decided by panel of judges. We can rig up some sort of vote mechanism on EuC somehow I'm sure, or you run this yourself (probably the person who takes votes needs to not be a judge) All this just my tuppence worth - eager to see everyone's thoughts on this great idea :) :twocents: I think it will be a great competition and especially as we enter the end of summer when the game will get busy again.:twocents:
i think it is a great idea as for the voting i think we should have at least three judges who we trust so i think we should all vote on who the judges should be
A very nice idea Cantbe, and +rep from me. One suggestion might be to use Newbie to describe a new colonist who is still low in skills and who might be a disciple. A Noob is imho a Dickhead, and often the bigger the skills and weapon, the bigger the Noob. We certainly don't need a competition encouraging anybody to be Noob of the Month. :D
my thoughts were for members of the Chronicle only , but if you think we can do the whole of EU then why not give it a go ? what does it cost to advertise in EU ?
If we go all of Eu then we will need Judges . IMHO a noob is an avatar who has not reached the graduation points of 2k
I normally spend about 100 ped for a 3 day advert for EuC, so I'd say at least twice that. As said before I'm quite happy to pay it. Ok, if the judging thing looks like the way forward we need some nominations for judges, and some criteria. For the former I suggest we nominate 3 ppl each other than ourselves, and most popular are given the job if willing - if not then they should post that they would rather not stand. As for criteria, maybe stuff like: * most recent skills gain * evidence of genuinely helping others * evidence of community spirit :twocents: to be going on with ;)
With your feedback and a headbanging session with Burgerman the following has been decided. title 'Newbie of the Month' rules less than 1000 points in any category entrants wil be scanned before and after event must sign up to the Chronicle for ease of contact. prize full pixie with fap and opalo [ fap and opalo kindly donated by 'miner extraordiaire' Bunny] for the Hunter or a fap, opalo and tt mining equipment for the miner. judging based on 1, achievements ie tp's gained etc 2 skill gains 3 a small quiz about EU JUDGES 2 permanent judges to be decided by nomimination an avatar who remembers what its like to be new for the first event and then the winner for the next event and so on. advertising screen advertising kindly paid for by Phunksta i have an idea to advertise in game using the chat window , please meet me in game and ask about it whats needed now. judges to be nominated as per Phunksta's idea new player not entering event scanners to scan entrants small donations of anything which can be sold for the prizes anything else you can think off together we can make this a success
Another suggestion might be "New Colonist of the Month" which automatically indicates a new player, and removes any confusion about newbie/noob status? Also, as I don't think scanning a person can show their skill levels in points, as 800, 1000, 1500 etc - any idea on the equivalent professional ranking to look for? Weak, Novice, Trained etc, maybe these will match 1000 points so then we know a person showing Qualified in a rank is already too highly skilled?
Name Skill Profession Newbie 1 0.001 Inept 10 0.1 Poor 20 0.2 Weak 40 0.4 Mediocre 67 0.67 Unskilled 110 1.1 Green 160 1.6 Beginner 260 2.6 Novice 360 3.6 Amateur 460 4.6 Apprentice 600 6 Initiated 800 8 Qualified 1000 10 Trained 1200 12 this i 'm sure will help , anybody not 'qualified' will be allowed to enter. http://www.entropedia.info/Chart.aspx?chart=SkillRank FULL CHART
Good work Cantbe, I forgot about the rankings list. #-o That will be a great help when scanning people. :)
List added to the Misc Lists guides section! http://www.eu-chronicle.com/cmps_index.php?page=misclists
This is mainly for Phunksta, attached is picture of the in EU advertising i came up with. But as you are paying then the duration and content will be up to you, i think it does the job, i was just playing around with different formats and titles .
