This is the first individual challenge. You can no longer rely on help from teammates. You are on your own. Only one person will win immunity in this challenge. The object is to talk trash better than everyone else. That's right......we're making use of our verbal assault forum in a Jim Rome style smack off. Here are the details.....
-You must start a thread in the Verbal Assault Area
-There are 5 judges who will be rating the threads. They will rank the top 3 in order from best to worst. They will use whatever criteria they choose in order to make their assessment (number or replies, number of people you incite, the quality of your trash-talking, etc....). We are not telling you who the judges are, but they have already been chosen and are aware of the challenge. They will be revealed as they give their votes.
-If you are ranked first by a judge, you will get 3 points. If you are ranked second by a judge you will get 2 points. If you are ranked third by a judge you will get 1 point. Whoever gets the most points when the judging is over, will win the challenge. If there is a tie, we'll have the 5 judges vote amongst the tied players to decide the winner.
-You can start your thread immediately.
-The deadline for this challenge is 12 Midnight on Monday evening (tomorrow night). At that point we will lock each of your threads. The judges will then have until midday on Tuesday to vote.
-You may only start one trash talking thread. If you do not like your initial thread you may delete it and start a new one at any moment up until the deadline.
-Some of you already have threads started in the VAA. We know which ones those are, and they will be ignored in regard to this challenge.
-When trashing other posters, please only use the players remaining in this game. We don't want random people misunderstanding. The judges have all been told that messing with people outside the game warrants a downgrade in their assessment!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> However, your smack talk does not have to center solely around other posters. You can trash teams, conferences, or whatever else you like.
-You can title the thread anything you want. We will know which thread is your valid thread because you may only have 1 thread and it must be timestamped later than the posting of this thread.
OK. I'm a little curious to see what you guys come up with for this one. I will request that the judges actually post their votes in this thread after everything is done so that we can see it all unfold.
Go to town!
