Ceramic DM, and you're invited! (Postponed! See post #117)

[alsih2o]

She migrated over from #dnd3e after I mentioned the competition there. Judging by the amount she wrote for NaNoWriMo in November, I don't think producing text is gonna be any problem. You really should come over to the channel more.

Good enough for me, and thanks for the invite.

Thursday and later works for me as a start date.

Berandor
Vs.
Orchid Blossom

Ooooh, a rematch!

(Dang it, alsih2o, I thought the bribe was big enough....)

And as always, weekends are best. Although I'd like to add that avoiding Wednesdays would be a good thing. Not a requirement, but it would be nice.

 

[Arabwel]

Um, monday morning.... what time zone?

*confuzzled*

 

[Ruined]

Did PirateCat bow out? I didn't see him on the brackets...

 

[BSF]

I am guessing that Piratecat _might_ have bowed out to give Arabwel and opportunity to join and he might have volunteered to fill a judge slot. I am sure we will see though.

Alsih2o, I am assuming that the picture structure will follow the same guidelines as usual? Round 1 - 4 pics, Round 2 & 3 - 5 pics, Round 4 - 6 pics?
I am also assuming that you are using the standard 72 hour time limit.
Arabwel, Alsih20 will usually post from his daytime perspective which is Central time US (GMT -6). Aside from that, the deadline is 72 hours after posting.
Alsih20, is there a word limit for this run?

What other details am I forgetting to ask here? If people have questions, now is the time to pipe up with them. Rodrigo has already linked my history thread, but here it is again. Ceramic DM FAQ for Fiction. Yes, I do need to update it, thank you for noticing.

Trivia:
A quick count from memory shows that we have at 10 previous participants in this round. It should be an interesting round to start off the new year!

 

[Berandor]

Yeah, what about Piratecat? he could face orchidblossom...

I would really like to avoid Tuesday for writing, and at least Sunday (Tuesday I'm in the opera, Sunday we're gaming). As orchid wants a weekend, how about starting Thursday (it would be Thur, Fri, Sat)? Also, a time before 11 am or after 6pm EST would rock! (but is not mandatory)

So, orchid, I guess the Ceramic DM will be determined in the first round this year?

 

[Berandor]

BSF, you forgot to ask the penalty for misspelling alish20, err alsi2h0, err... Clay's username

 

[BSF]

*grumble*

It is hard for me to shift from muscle memory with Alsih2o's name. Check it out, I spelled it correctly in one instance, then misspelled it in another. *grumble*

I will let my error stand for now because it is kind of funny.

Uh oh, I do have one more question. Probably for Piratecat.

What day will the board upgrade begin? Will Ceramic DM need to go on temporary hold during the upgrade so we don't lose anything?

 

[orchid blossom]

Thursday night actually could work for me. I game on Fridays, but I don't usually write in the first 24 hours anyway. If it went up on Thursday night, that gives us until that time Sunday night, and that works great for me. Two whole weekend days, oh, the luxury!

Thursday morning I could do, but is not as good. The pictures would go up while I'm at work when I can't see them. (Internet at work is a big, get fired for it no no.)
