WYR Rules and Such

over 8 years

If you're looking for the place to post go here https://epicmafia.com/topic/73160

IMPORTANT README: You don't have to read all of what's down there it's fairly obvious and I'll tell you if you break any rules etc. Please just post and don't be discouraged by the wall of text.

------------------------------------Rules------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT README: All posts from 5 PM - 12 AM (UTC-7) or Pacific Daylight Time will be disregarded as that's when I'll be grading posts.

  1. There's no limit on how long between posts, however you cannot review your own posts.
  2. Questions can only be posted AFTER reviewing someone elses question. Any posts containing just a question will not be reviewed by the thread moderators.
  3. No questions insulting other players, or answers insulting other players either. You may use other players in your answers/questions but only if the player is okay with it. If the player you use complains your post will be taken down.
  4. No deleting posts. This is so it doesn't get confusing when looking over posts. If someone answered a prior persons questions and then asked a question, but the prior person deleted their post it'd be very confusing to review and grade the post.
  5. If I ever put in chat "CHECKPOINT" it means that any posts prior to this until I say "UN-CHECKPOINTED" will be disregarded. I only do this for grading that I can't get finished in the 7 hour period or if something comes up on my end.

----------------------------------Grading----------------------------------------

First of all, I'll note that the answer to a question is an automatic one point and is not graded.

Questions, however, will be graded and are what'll determine how many points you have at the end of the round.

Grading Criteria:

  1. Uniqueness - Depending on wether I think your post is unique or not I'll either give you a point or not give you a point for this.
  2. Creativity - Not only should your post be unique and different from others, it should be creative. You can score up to 2 points on creativity.
  3. Hardness to Answer - The question should be hard to answer. That's the whole point of WYR. You can get anywhere from 0-3 points on this.
  4. Balance of Questions - The two questions should be balanced in the sense that they're equally bad/good/frustrating outcomes. You can get 0-3 points on this.

Therefore, you can have a minimum score of 1 point and a maximum score of 10 per post.

------------------------------------Notes-----------------------------------------

This is the first reopening of WYR in what, like a year? The community has changed and therefore these rules might be outdated and are subject to change themselves.

A time limit MAY be set if any players feel as though it's a competition just to get a post down.

If you take a while to write out your post, be sure to c/p it and refresh so to make sure no one else has already posted.

Also, there's no WRONG answer, people are entitled to their own opinions and if you don't feel as though your question was answered correctly, it was.

IMPORTANT README: If you have any suggestions, complaints, or anything such as the above stated, please PM this account instead of posting on the forums. Thank you.
