Forum:The Blue Stapler 1.0

<<< Back to Department of Limelight • <<< Back to Forum

Now, we have heard of a red stapler, but what if that stapler was taken and painted blue? You would have an award, cheese. Now, as the rain pelts down outside my window, I'm going to write this award and its criteria. It was inspired by the 'Happy Monkey' competition on Uncyc, in that you have to write a userspace article in 48 hours, and then I'll judge 'em. So, here's what happens:

1. You think up a topic.
2. You post your desired topic with your entry.
3. I assign each topic to another user, to write about.
4. You write an article with that name in your userspace, so say if the topic was 'Furniture' you could write it in the page 'User:<insert name here>/Furniture'.
5. After 48 hours you will hopefully have a finished article, and I'll judge all these.

Unlike Big Brrother 2015, there will be no bias in the judging, because that's not fun. I'm going to give it three scores based on quality: Creativity 1-10, Humour (or Nonsense, because this is ?pedia) 1-10, and Originality 1-10, for a score out of 30.

You can use this template to mark an entry in your userspace. Entries are open until Sunday 8th November, and the actual competition begins on Tuesday 10th at 08:00 GMT and finishes exactly 48 hours later.

• Myxomatosis (PS: You're third rule is a bit unclear. Please simplify it for my illogical brain.)

What a truly awesome word, no matter the meaning. Which I looked up. I hope I don't catch it. I hear it caused a woman to have super strength and actually pick up a bus full of special needs children, then tossed it onto the roof of a gentlemen's club. (kaizum me) 04:24, 31 Octodest 2015 (UTC)

I mean, you don't start the article until 10th, and then, someone ELSE will start it, because the topic will have been assigned to them. I can already tell this is not going to do well. Operator XY - (Conversal :: Editations - 7,284 and counting!) 04:59, 31 Octodest 2015 (UTC)

Then why bother continuing with this competition? To be honest, I am probably as paranoid and/or antsy about competitions as you are (we need not mention why), but that is something we simply need to put behind us. So what if this competition doesn't turn out well? At least you tried to do something fun here on Illogia.

Also: if you already see that it might not turn out well, then why not change the rules or clarify them a bit? I probably wont be the only one who may end up being stumped by your third rule. Besides; this competition starts in 10 days, so there is still plenty of time for you to perfect this competition.

Best of luck! 05:22, 31 Octodest 2015 (UTC)

I think our little club has different ideas on stuff like awards and contests. I happen to really like the name of this contest. Whether it leads to anything is irrelevant. It's the fun we're having right now that counts. In fact, I think being goal-oriented lim I thinits the illogical possibilities. Kudos to this user for keeping things interesting.
