Posts from Mr. HeroesWorld 2008 Contest

I liked the stages =))
Maybe they are a bit similar, but they are interesting) So I'm FOR it)

Regarding the first stage... a funny story?))
By the way, you can also create them using forum emoticons) I did it, and it turned out well) Once, we did it together))) Hehe

The second and third are clear))

P.S. I will most likely participate =)<

Well, here the humor is presented in a free-form manner... You are all masters of humor, as you have repeatedly proven in various threads, so showcase your skills here!
The contest works as follows: a topic is given to each participant, and the order of participants is determined (in what order they respond); the idea is simple - each participant maintains communication in the thread, with the condition that their post should appeal to the readers, for which their BD (reputation points) is increased (this stage was decided to be conducted not with a regular vote, but with the help of the BD system), there is no need to decrease BD.

The topic is good, but determining the winner based on BD is incorrect. There are many people who will/will not give positive ratings based solely on their personal relationships with that person... besides, the BD of different people is often the same.
And then... why is this stage with BD, while the others are without?
No, it needs to be done differently.

Or maybe the second stage is just an unusual date with a girl? If you think about it, no one will have normal associations with the last day.

P.S. Loken – good job on changing his avatar.

So, I'll answer everyone in order...
R@zer, if this kind of humor is going to be funny, it shouldn't be vulgar, but genuinely amusing... but by its very definition, it can't be not vulgar. Besides, anyone can do that, but writing something that's funny without any vulgarity – that's something not everyone can do.

Loken, I didn't even want to introduce a voting system for the stories... but I think it makes sense for this stage.
The whole point here is to evaluate each participant's story and then determine the overall score. But how can you evaluate each story using a voting system? I think it would be easier to count the votes based on the number of "likes" given to each story, although I might be wrong. If everyone is against using a voting system, then I'll think about what to replace it with.

Князь_OMEGA, a simple, ordinary day with a girl isn't that interesting... But if you imagine that it's the last day of your life, you'd want to make it as memorable as possible, not for yourself, of course, but at least for that girl, turn it into a fairy tale, fill it with as much feeling and romance as possible, so that she'll remember it forever... Have you seen the movie "Sweet November"? Watch it when you have time. In that movie, the girl treated every day as if it were her last, because she didn't know if there would be a tomorrow. Under normal circumstances, people rarely try to do something extraordinary for their loved one, to fill their day with a fairy tale. When you realize that you can't put things off until tomorrow and you need to do everything you planned today... The last day of life is like a reason. You can lie down and wait for death, or you can live it in a way that brings happiness to others and to yourself. But I'm getting a bit philosophical here. If you don't like it, we can change it... although, in my opinion, these are normal associations. I want the story to be filled with deep thoughts, feelings, and emotions, so that it makes you shed a tear... Something like that. :)

And when will we start this? What are the deadlines? And who are the participants?

Awesome contest!))) Even if you don't win, you can still have a good laugh.

maybe not freestyle, but a story on a given topic (for example, saving the princess)

No, it's not a good idea. If the theme is the same, there will be a lot of repetition, and as a result, only the first few entries will be properly appreciated.

and generally – when will this wonderful project actually start? =)) ;);)

Well, I actually started writing the post on Thursday, saying that we would start on Friday... But then the forum crashed and stayed down for a long time. Today I'm at work. I'll come in the morning, drink some coffee, and create the thread! So get ready, dear participants! And also: the first and second stages will be anonymous! I'll explain what that means: participants send me their submissions, and I post them in the thread, but without mentioning the authors' names! I guarantee confidentiality! Why do I want to do this? Well, firstly, it will be more interesting to choose, and secondly, it will be fairer, because people will be voting for the works themselves, not for the participants. Accordingly, participants are required not to reveal their authorship to anyone. I hope that there are real men among you who will participate with honor and dignity! ;)

That's all for now. The rest will be in the afternoon. :)
I'm very glad that the contest has interested you and that you appreciated the stages. :)

It's nice to know that my efforts and thoughts were not in vain. :)

I want to express my great gratitude to Zubr for developing the stages, and also to Pandora, who has supported me from the very beginning! And also to everyone who supported me and wanted to help! :) Thank you all!

And also: the 1st and 2nd stages will be anonymous! Let me explain what that means: participants send me their submissions, and I post them in the thread, but without mentioning the authors' names! I guarantee confidentiality!

Well, for me...it's a secret...just between us...:smile04: Just shhh...:smile04:

P.S. What a terrible idea it was to suggest doing push-ups in thongs!:smile05:

So, the contest will open on Monday, right?) I got confused with all these "tomorrow" and "morning" mentions.))
P.S. Luzhik, this is for you as a player of the fourth Heroes game and a guitarist.)) I wanted to send it in a private message, but it seems you can't attach files there. Sorry for the off-topic. I couldn't resist, someone else should see this!))

Guys, I apologize... I'll create the topic tomorrow. Today, I'm just too tired after work. I tried to write the topic, but more questions arose along the way about what, how, and when. So, I'll think it over carefully and post everything tomorrow: the rules and the assignment for the first stage. Exz, thank you so much. P.S.: By the way, maybe you can give me some advice, because I'm racking my brain here... Should I make the voting open or closed? Open voting would mean that you will know who specifically voted for which number. With closed voting, the voter's nickname will not be displayed. I would like to know your opinion.

Lu, no worries) we'll wait as long as it takes :)
It would be better to make the voting public so we can see who voted... whether it's some random people or not)))

In principle, we could also have a contest to test people's brains. An intellectual one... but how to implement it... I don't have any ideas) but it could be done like a freestyle (online)) asking questions and participants have to answer them right away... but there are many reasons why this is impossible: time constraints, location (no chat), maybe age, etc.... nonsense?) maybe...
In principle, never mind... we don't need such a contest) everyone already knows that we're smart xDDDD
So we'll show our intelligence, wit, ability to joke, and...

P.S. If the contest starts in the near future, I hope it will be after the 20th... although... time will probably be given for each stage, so there's not much difference)

Whew... it's going to be tough =) The male squad will be larger than the female one... how many people will ITP send... =)) That's cool ;)
