Week 5 - Results
Sorry for the delayed results, I was busy with the podcast.
We asked our contestants to write a fictional news story for the front page of the main site. We gave them a brief bit of information and expected them to expand on it and make it their own. Below are the submitted articles, with bolded corrections. Danny Trabajo This was probably the most direct article which consequently was the shortest. It seems like Danny has studied the previous articles and opted for a 'discuss on the forums' approach at the end. Quote:
This was a more imaginitive article which gave the reader a lot to think about in regards to the potential of the game. We replaced the beginning of the 3rd paragraph which originally started with Rare because it was a repitition of the previous paragraph. Quote:
I didn't like the blog style opening to this article, but with that out the way I liked how the article delivered the main news then deviated slightly with a mini game history, later reinforcing the main purpose of the article. There's even a little humour at the end, poking fun at the massive delay between the last two games. Quote:
As for the two forums, they should still be continually moderated for the remainder of the competition. Congratulations to our final three. Danny Trabajo, IbanezerIceFAIL and greatman3388

Haha yeeeah sort of got my days a bit mixed up there, oh well it was a busy week and ended up as a car crash week overall, literally. Ended up crashing the car just a little bit on Thursday so was a bit pre-occupied with other things.
Ohh well competition was all in good fun and I'd been thinking similar things to Tanjo, Avarice and Minjo for a while now especially since I don't visit half the forums or threads in AAG wouldn't exactly be the best suited for a mod position. I just don't like to give up until I accidentally give up apparently. Hmm just sorry I let Danny down in the last round for the team but good luck to you three left, can see any of you being great if you were chosen but I know who've I've got my eye on to win overall, have had since the beginning |

Hmm, I don't know how I feel about the three left, and which would be the best mod. Time will tell, I suppose.

Oops, made some embarrassing mistakes in my one. Tough luck to Minjo and Ice Lighting, you were great opponents (and lovers).

Danny and Ibanezer: Best of luck to the both of you guys. Its been an honor competing, and I never thought I'd get this far. Even more surprising is that Ice Lightning is cut. If anything, I thought he would be one of the people to beat me.
All in all, this week may have had an odd turn of events with two eliminations (again) but that means we'll be done by early November is all goes on schedule. Once again, I wish you two the best of luck. |

Interesting...these three are good members, but not the type of people I considered to be moderators.
They have always been relatively high up and looked upon, but idk, something will be very out of place when I see one of their names change colour. :/ Other than that, the articles weren't bad. I felt that they weren't as organic as they could have been, due to their development being solely for competition purposes, but oh well, that's life. And Ice Lightning's departure upsets me. Without offense to the other three, I really considered him to be mod-worthy. Well, there's my take on things. They all deserve it, but I just don't know if it's the right choice. EDIT: Oh dear, this sounds like something CoolJosh would write D: |

Hmm, in my application for Hell's Forum I answered to the question 'who would you like to see becoming the new moderator other than yourself' I voted Danny. I still mostly have that opinion.

Aww cheers for that people, disappointed myself too but oh well those three can definitely do a great job themselves, no worries there at all.
Just somehow I got it into my head the deadline was 9/10pm on Saturday instead, was just about to start the tasks when I realised it was a day late. Lol typical of me though, not surprised Last edited by Ice Lightning; 25th October 2009 at 07:45 PM. |
