Ridiculous Games Contest 2012 Begins

Welp! Times up! I somehow doubt any further games will be released, and I've decided to turn my project into another one of those "Contest Wrapup" game things. Assuming I can churn it out in under a month, it'll be a fantastic tradition to maintain for this particular contest.

In the meantime here are our entries:

Charbile - My Little Gahn

MasterK - Trolls!

Moogle1 - Memento Mori

NathanKarr - Karrible.RPG

RMsephy - Super Harem Builder 2012

SDHawk - Pilgrimage

Spoonweaver - Clam digger

So here's how things will work out for voting this time around, and it takes a page from a certain OTHER contest.

Firstly I want each of the contestants to select THREE people from the OHR community to be judges. They can even be other contestants if you so like, as long as they promise to be as objective about the judging of each game as possible. Once all seven contestants choose their judges, the top THREE judges (whomever they may be) will then begin their deliberations on each game.

Judges will be focusing on TWO main themes - namely that each entry fits within its particular villain's parameters for an entry (on a scale of 1 to 7), and how well that game stacks up against the other games on a Best (#1) through Worst (#7) scaling system. Naturally each judge will choose to rate each game according to their own preferences and base them on whatever merits or flaws they choose. Judges also must use full paragraphs explaining their reasoning behind their decisions. Unlike that contest, you don't have to agree with that judge's reasons, although you ARE free to rebut them, and judges are free to change their minds.

HOWEVER, the three judges in reality are more like super delegates in a Presidential Campaign caucus in that their votes matter MUCH more than other peoples'.

The community at large will ALSO be voting, however they will simply be voting for BOTH whatever entry they felt was the best-in-show through an anonymous poll, and also ranking each entry on a scale of 1 (Best) to 7 (Worst). In short, if you feel that the judging isn't going your way, you can try to skew the contest results by having your friends sign up to Slime Salad and vote for you.

In short here's the voting algorythm:

[Judge1 Vote x Villain Theme] + [Judge2 Vote x Villain Theme] + [Judge3 Vote x Villain Theme] + Total Community Vote + Anonymous Poll Results + SECRET CONTEST BONUS = Total Score

A voting thread shall appear once every contestant names their three judge choices (and the top three agree to be judges). Voting stops once all three judges finish reviewing and scoring each game.

And of course GOOD LUCK!!
