Hello everyone~! I hope you enjoyed the results. Here are the score breakdowns courtesy of sunflower_mynah:

And that brings us to our second topic -- alliances. We need to decide them before Game 4 can start, of course. I'll list the strengths and weaknesses of each team (as far as I know them), and a short description of the proposed alliances, and you guys can have a vote.

We're going to do something different this time around. Since we have 4 really strong teams, we've decided it's nearly impossible to have 3 alliances of 2 teams, because one of the alliances will automatically be way stronger than the other two, which kind of makes having a competition pointless. So for this game at least, most of the proposed alliances will be two alliances of 3 competing against each other. Like a final boss fight, I think someone told me.

And with that, the alliance options:

I just tried to post two polls in one post, and it really Did Not Work, so, uh, please see following post regarding stamping question changes.

Stamping Question Changes

[arivess.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaaand now, stamping question changes. Most of them, we can't really change because there are still a lot of people that think they're helpful, and the mods have discussed problems with a few questions some people proposed to add, so we just have a few small changes this time.

As for other rule changes, we'll propose them at a later time (but soon)!

So far, the current things on the table are:
1. Fanworks Bazaar - sunflower_mynah is on a lot of things for it! Including the proposed new layout, which you can check here if you haven't already.
2. Low-Entry Contests - chacusha is making a few options for low-entry contests that will be up for voting sometime.
3. Stamping Difficulties - We know a lot of people are a bit frustrated with stamping, because people seem to connect keywords to certain classes and just jump on them. We'll have an activity soon to help rectify this problem a little bit? Maybe? And hopefully make voting easier.
