Alphachronism

Yaaay way to go team!

Gosh this year has been incredibly stressful for me. In retrospect being a palhoncho and a mod at the same time wasn't the best idea, but I had no idea what sort of work modding had in store. But it didn't matter because I had such an awesome team at my back. I didn't have to worry about a thing, you guys just swooped in and won us tons of points and made some amazing stuff. I'M SO PROUD, THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME ON TEAM ALPHA OT4!! <3 <3 <3 I love you all. ;w;

I hope you guys also had fun too and made some friends. I know I did!

DON'T YOU DARE NOT KEEP IN TOUCH I love you guys.


Also we got this too: GOOD WORK TEAM

Hi Team!

There's a few days (???) for bonus round 6 and we've still got a lot of juicy fills we can grab for lots of points! If you have time, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could make some posts recommending your favourite stuff from the hso so far! These bonus points could win it for us!

Hooray! I hope we do well, ahh

Bonus Round 5 is up! Life on the road! You guys know the drill: Please post here if you leave prompts (NEVERMIND) or fills (please leave a link!)

Points Earned in BR5: 330

Fills 1-5x30 = 150
Fills 6-10x20 = 100
Fills 11-15x10 = 50
Fills 16-21x5 = 30

It's not public to the hso comm yet, but you can read it all right here!

If anyone would like to contribute some last minute edits and/or art, please do so. It's a lovely entry on it's own! But we should also be showcasing our artists, if we can! fayharley can add in stuff easily from the off-DW site.

Good work, team!!! Round 3 part 1 votes are due tonight, and hopefully we'll be seeing the results of Round 2 Part 2 soon!

I'm totally worn out after all this olympic-ing. We should watch some Parks and Rec tonight!

I meant to do this a lot sooner, but I totally forgot. I'm sorry, team!

I wanted to keep a post here just as a point breakdown so we can see exactly how we're doing and why. This might change when DoctorV is transferred but... for now, here goes!

CURRENT TOTAL: 3025
Pre-HSO Promo: 50
Bonus Round 0: 75
Bonus Round 1: 410
Bonus Round 2: 340
Main Round 1: 1980
Bonus Round 3: 170
Bonus Round 4: 400
Main Round 2: 180 for participating!

Voting bonuses have not been added to this number.

As of 7/23/12 I believe this, in fact, puts us in first? Unless the voting bonuses change things.

Okay this is super sudden, so I hope it's okay with everyone.

doctorv is signing up with Team Alphachronism in time to help us out with the bonus round!!! Doctor was a member of my team, John<>Vriska last year and has done all of the entries thus far for team Gamzee<3Jane. I've seen a couple of you murmuring about those!

DOCTOR IS A FABULOUS DUDE AND A GREAT FRIEND and I'm super excited I hope you all are too.

The Prompt for Round 3 is up! This one looks tricky.

The theme is "Balancing Act":
This round is a format challenge! Your R3 entry should be composed of two separate but related parts. They should be roughly equal in size/complexity; we're not going to be policing that, but the general idea is that they should balance each other in some way.

So it sounds like we can do most anything we please, as long as it's formatted creatively. I think this sort of prompt is where our artists will shine, but I know veira is a trooper and I'm curious about what she'll come up with!

Please discuss! I could use help getting some ideas.

In the previous post Dogtier posted their plan for a collab round, but we haven't really incited a discussion yet! Veira suggested maybe having a party chat. This sounds like a good plan too. How do you guys feel about it? Are you more comfortable in a Skype chat?

Please let me know when is a good time for you, and we can arrange a conversation.

Hello team!

Last night the mod team posted an announcement about this year's voting system, and it's set up in brackets! Last year 40 entries seemed like too much reading every round, and this year we have 121 teams! So we've divvied up the work a bit.

So we are reading Section 3 Entries and the top 10 from our section will proceed to the next bracket. We'll have more reading there! But we will already have read the initial 10.

So in bracket 1 we read 29 entries, pick 10, and in the second bracket we only have 30 more to read that we haven't read!

I know this seems like a lot - and it is! This is the price we pay for having such a huge group this year. But it could be worse! We're reading about half of the actual entries and working to cut back on entries to read for other teams. Additionally, while I say "read" many of the entries are images, or comics that don't take very long. Others are 3000 word fics but all things considered, those are pretty short. If you're a writer you can appreciate how hard it is to make a good concept and squish it into 3000 words.

Additionally, in order to compensate for busy people and potential triggers, the voting system should have a spot for you to account for any entries you have not read. So if you're overwhelmed or busy, it's okay! You can still vote, and the percentages of what you weren't able to get to will be taken into account.

I'm going to try to post about the collab round later on tonight - sorry for spamming the site! Thank you guys for your patience, and let me know if you have any questions.
