@matrix6977:
So, with the rewards, if i remember correctly, 100 fever coins is equivalent to 1 US dollar. With that being said, you are correct cyber is very serious about the coins. We should probably get his input on this aspect
[MENTION=174]Cybernetcrash[/MENTION] what is your opinion on using coins for this contest Oh lord and master of the coins?

We can do coins for participants, and extra coins for the winner/runner up. Since this is an event that doesn't happen often, we'll do 1000 coins for the winner, 500 for runner up and 200 per participant.

That seems reasonable and fair.
I know Matrix had wanted to maybe compensate judges as well, Im not sure if he envisioned coins as well for this, but if so, Would you approve coins for judging all the entry's? i THINK we were looking at 3 judges because we are basing it around the real life show

They will count as participants.

Alright [MENTION=46290]Kodexx[/MENTION] how does the first post look so far.

Anything else you think we need to look into besides the length of the contest?

First post looks awesome!

I think we have everything covered besides finding the judges and coming up with a way to "market" the event to get as many people involved as we can. The previous one was poorly announced, we should try to avoid that at all costs, the more people that know, the better likely hood it actually becomes a true "contest"

How are you going to broadcast the Event, Fever got talent? What parameters will be giving for fair judging of each contestant?

I'd like to get with the gfx department, have a sweet flier made, have it posted in the feever weekly and I'd also like to get blazemost to mention it in the fever meeting. Being that I am on the Facebook team and Reddit team, I'll post the banner along with a link to the 'public announcement' thread for it.

For fair judging, I'm going to hold an open application which will feature a spot for them to make a submission showcasing their own talents which will put them ahead of applicants that do not, but if we have to pick ones who don't submit then we will. But they will be selected based on what we get for applications.

The parameters for judging will be an audition round of move on or not, once that first round is done then we divide how ever many users are left into two groups. All users create more content or forfeit. All users from each group then submit their next entry for judgment, we will eliminate a few from each group (based on how many total entries) until their is 1 entry from each group going head to head, which the judges no longer decide, then the two submissions go out for voting by Fever. Once the voting period is over, you have your winner.

I cannot say how many can be eliminated at one time per round until we have a total number of entries confirmed. Once we do I'll draw up the tree brackets and then it will be decided. This is as close to how the show does it that will work for our forums.



As far as broadcasting the event, I didn't imagine this being recorded like an actual television show, I always imagined it to being posted on the forums. Getting three people to record their thoughts on the content and editing all this content into one show would take a lot of man power and time, and I could also see this discourage people from participating because of the fact that most people dont want to be on youtube for the public to see them. However if that is how you are wanting this done, we can go there, it's just gonna take awhile to make this content ready to be posted, I'd also have to hand off the project to someone else once we finish drawing up all the plans to be the 'producer' for because I have no knowledge in video or editing.

I've got a pretty decent working knowledge of video editing, just not quite the "producer" style. Im a montager haha
