The fading of blue and white is good. Raveclaw could have been in a different color, just to bring it out more.

Too dark. The cresant is too small.

Ravenclaw #2: 10/15 +1= 11/15
Total: 23.5/30

yeah thats not blood.. thats his tongue

Hey Rogue - can I just ask why you are scoring the double entries seperately, Tassie told me to score them as one and hey - aren't we only supposed to use yous/Tassie's scores only if the prefects have a dispute?

And MM - sorry about that, either way I still noticed it 😉

Very good point. I'll have to check to see if all of the other Prefects have submitted there votes first.

Plus, I just realized that I just broke my own rule. 🙁 I told Tassie to tell the other Prefects to submit there Scores in a Private Message and here I am, not doing that.

HOUSES ATTENTION:
Judging for the First Inter-House Challenge is still be judged, so please be patient while we add up the scores to determine the winner.

PREFECTS:
If you haven't PM'ed your scores to Tassie and I, please do so.

NOTE:
Please note, that only Prefects and the Headboy and Headgirl can write in other people's houses common room. We don't want to clutter the boards with our messages. Please note.

I was never told to do it by private message - no wonder I've been thinking where the hell everybody else's votes are and what was meant when I read the Houses have voted already!

RPhoe, I am SOOO sorry we didn't get word to you. Communication in the future will be much better, I promise. But don't feel bad about it. It's no biggie and plus, we'll know for next time.

Oh, I meant that I think Slytherin and Huffelpuff Prefects have already submitted there scores. I'll have to check on that.

That's cool, next time I will know 🙂

mh i just noticed any prefect has to vote...
i had to work yesterday sorry... so i will submit them soon.
im working on it.

Nope Eezy, it's not any prefect, it's one prefect from each house - I asked if you minded in our common room but you never replied.

oh. ok
i dont mind 🙂

You can judge the next one 🙂

I thought that the fact that is was drawn, shows a lot of creativity. The effort was defiantly made. This was defiantly creative and I think the added pics of students made this sig original.

resolution and clarity = 2/3
The entire sig could be a bit clear. The boy towards the far right is kind of faded. The crest itself is a drawn, which is good, but the outline of the crest (in black) could stand out a little more)

it’s a bit dark. Too much black. I think you could have used more colors besides black and yellow.

You judged the wrong one.... 🙁

i dont want to judge again i done it totally wrong lol

To RPhoe, and Rogue....
umm, some of the houses spoke to me last night concerning this challenge, and they brought up a good point; there shouldn't be extra marks for number of entries submitted... the no. of entries were to increase a house's chances, but it wasn't compulsary for 2 entries...

But then it's not fair - from both angles, see if there are no extra points then the House with one entry has less chance of getting better marks in comparison because one entry is unlikely to be better then the quality of two from another house and from the other point of view - the houses with two entries have done more work and will have their work averaged out to be fair to the House(s) that only have one entry which is bad for them if they have one great entry and one average or bad entry.

I think basically all the Houses should submit the same amount to make things completely fair and easier to judge otherwise there are too many complications - which is why if you don't -unless there are exceptional circumstances - you get points for what you submit rather then what you don't. For example, in this case Ravenclaw has the leat amount of members (or is one of the houses with the least) but still managed to make lots of sigs in their House thread and submit two entries on time so if they can do it and did do it why would there be complaints for getting a point per entry?

btw just out of curiosity what is the next challenge?

Whichever House won the challenge gets to choose right?

It was the Slytherins, btws

you have a fairly good point, but i'm not feeling to write long posts right now like i used to lol

it would be fair to give them an extra point, but the rules were clear that it wasn't absolutley necessary to submit two entries... after this challenge, we can start awarding points for no. of entries, but it would first have to be stated in the rules..

Yes I thought that might be the case - well fie take the extra points off, but what I'm saying is that the Slytherins need to be fair above what is convenient for them. For example, from what I'm saying it's better for them really in future because quite frankly they are lucky that their sig was unique from all the others in that it was an animation which made it creative. Now think about it, if it had just been the second screen which simply has the crest and SLytherin Pride written on it for example then in no way would it have been able to compete with the other House entries in terms of quality. So if their entry had been average at least they would have an extra point but seeing as it was good it was also helpful because the other Houses were forced to have averaged out scores to allow for their one entry - plus they had a good entry which meant that it competed really well with the other Houses and got the extra point - now if they had been first to post they may have even won the competition.

See what i'm saying - what I did when I awarded points was to allow for proportional representation - they had a better chance then they would have done without it on just one sig when all the other Houses had two sigs and if they had been judged seperately rather then averaged Slytherin would have had no chance. Also, like I said, they have the second largest number of members I think and the same time as the rest of us - if Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw could manage it so could they - plus I read today that they wanted to enter a second entry now but the judging is practically over and to allow for time zones? Please, we did that - upto 8 hours past Greenwich meantime London is more then enough to be either at or past 12pm midnight American and Canadian time - and time zones actually has nothing to do with it because it's Sunday now and that's three whole days not a few hours where time zones get in the way.

BTW - I guess it seems obvious that the rules need to be crystal clear in writing and posted - the ones Unicor started would be great to begin with and can be edited over time. You don't have to do that if you are tired or unwell, Rogue can post them later if he wants to.
