2011 FArt battle
"Come iiii-iiin!"
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

....... So there will be some extra strategy involved in this year's FArt battle.......
|
My curiosity is officially piqued.
How dyou actually get eliminated if it's not points based? I've got some good jokes if that helps...

"Dyou"... sounds African.

I was thinking about this some today. I had thought about allowing open entries every month through April. With the points system, and no vote eliminations until June, that would give those that had been supporting throughout an advantage with their points. I don't want to go around changing the rules willy nilly either.
Let me know what you think, participants and would-be participants alike. I don't want to change the rules unless most of you think it's a good idea.

I'm not sure on how that will go with the points and stuff...
But the rules should make sure there will be a max of 2 participants left by december, though.

I've run several scenarios mathematically but it's somewhat problematic because I don't have all the info about what you are planning points wise but given what I know I'd say...
Either drop the 2nd berth or move it way up. Anyone coming in at August is either too far behind in points if they matter and if they (the points) don't matter then they have too much of an advantage being able to come in late passing all the months others had to submit work and getting a pass against the first two eliminations (June and July if that is what you have planned). They only need to submit 4-5 pieces as opposed to 12 and if they did earn enough points to buy an immunity (not sure of the value or implementation here just guessing) then they skip 3 eliminations.
If you are set on having a way in for people who missed January's deadline I'd suggest having just one berth in February
(or possibly March if you need time to come up with a way to implement it). This also avoids people already eliminated coming back.
Bear in mind from a numbers standpoint no eliminations until June means there will only be 7 at most and since we have 9 people already there will need to be some double eliminations... or even triple presuming some will use points to avoid being bumped. That begs a whole other question... if the person with the least vote points one month buys a "free pass" with his FArt points to stay in does the person with the next lowest amount of votes get bumped? If so theoretically you could have everyone burning their points in the same month (very likely since who wants to get kicked when they can afford a free pass not using points won't help if you are out of the contest) which means you could win the vote that month but still be eliminated if you are the only one who cannot afford immunity. You could also find yourself with 2 people left and one has enough points to buy immunity which would mean he couldn't lose... which would be similar to last years dilemma.
I'll let others give their own suggestions before I comment on the rest.
P.S. One thing that would help is a head count. Knowing how many participants we would have total would make planning out how many eliminations need to happen easier.
How many artists that missed the first month would join in Feb or March if they had a chance to?
1. Darth Delicious? (I'm guessing )
2. Lady Cyrsei? (expressed interest earlier)
3. RogueDemonHunter?
4. others???
5. anyone else???
