XD Thanks for replying. I'm sorry, I'm too rushed with proposing idea without proper refinement and explaination. I have no experience in facilitating, there are some details that I don't know how to take measurement on. TEACH ME SENPAI!

I make the group distribution is to avoid scenario where "nobody has different opinion" - quoted from Orecreeper. Things happen like this.

New DoTW 1: https://town-of-salem.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:324788 New DoTW 2: https://town-of-salem.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:327128 New DoTW 4: https://town-of-salem.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:333939

I do believe that things always come in a set of both positivity and negativity, but what restricting our thoughts are common perception or idealogy of the community. Not only improves rigorous high order and critical thinking skill, but to break the norm which is not 100% right everytime. What I wish to see in this system is encourage people to think at their own from their own perspective, instead of following the trend without knowing why. Speaking with my own real life experience, debate isn't all about how true the facts we deliver, but the skill we express our own idea like twisting the opponent words or whatsoever also count. Even though the truth of certain topic could be one-sided, but the art of sophitry can make a different. If dividing team is necessary, then it is the best to do it fair. Since this is a team game, I suppose number of members matter.

A week ..um.. For active wiki users, it could be painful to wait, but I wish chances can be given to semi-active users as well. And participants probably a little wider timeframe to prepare a 2-sided speech. What says you? Um.. Locking thread.. I geniunely don't know, but just guessing, it would be better to lock it XD TEACH ME SENPAI!

Rubik's suggestion on reward system is cool. :D

Ohhh.. speaking of registration, I think whole flow should work like this:

Sunday: Topic reveal. Signing up available

Friday: Registration closes at 11:59pm CST? or GMT? or..

Saturday: Reveal team and participant

Sunday: DoTW begins

Friday: DoTW ends at 11:59pm CST? or GMT? or..

Saturday: Audience voting phase, ends at 11:59pm CST or GMT or...

Sunday: Result reveal. Topic reveal. Signing up available

I don't know what to feel about this, but I think it's fine. LOL TEACH ME SENPAI! But honestly, I don't like how DoTW only held twice a month. That's why I make some addition to it.

The reason I think of role idea contest is to integrate users of all. I feel like a lot of users who are pretty active at Role Idea board rarely join discussion of other board, as if Role Idea boards are separated entity from ToS Wikia. I think this is a good reason and opportunity for all to join together. I don't know where should I start, generally it looks like this:


 * General ruleset of DoTW except Team, Marking Scheme and Format still apply (Audience, Judge, Registration, Participant, blablabla..)


 * This is a competition of individual


 * Format: Audience can write critique on any contesting role idea. Judge must interact with all contestant in any form, either questioning or critical reviewing. Contestant should rebut critique of audience and answering question.


 * Marking scheme: Judge grades the rebutting and answering performace of contestant holistically, meaning there aren't any specific criteria to earn points, it's like a sort of impressional marking. (Because the amount critique towards the every contesting role idea can be very different at times. It isn't wise to allocate mark according the number of points they make. And there are also a lot of variables to account. I afraid I couldn't take every possible aspect to the scheme. I guess it's better to leave this job to the judge :P)

I hope it explains.

I make Favourite Role competition is because I want to cover users of all potential. It is for avid mainspace editor, probably those who are keen with existing details in game. I dissociate this contest from the traditional DoTW because its format is like a merge of Role Idea Contest and DoTW. I work on some details:


 * This is an individual competition. Only 1 role can be signed up by 1 participant. Multiple participants cannot sign up a single role.


 * General ruleset of DoTW except Team and Format apply


 * Format: Contestants promote their favourite role, and attack other role. (It would be whole messy cat-fight, so I think I should separate them it phases or do it in an organized way. Just a suggestion, there is an interviewing session for judge. I don't know if it would be too tedious)

Example:

Constructive phase

GamesManiac: Sheriff is freaking awesome. Reason 1.. Reason 2... Reason 3..

Attacking phase

GamesManiac: Disguiser sucks because.. Framer sucks because.. Jailor sucks because..

Rebuttal phase

GamesManiac: Responding to ManiacGames, Sheriff isn't sucks because...

Optional: Interview

Judge 1: Question to GamesManiac, recently Sheriff had received a minor nerf where they can no longer see exact role of suspicious target, do you think Sheriff is still powerful with that nerf?

GamesManiac: Hell yes, blablabla..

Judge 2: Question to GamesManiac, Sheriff is a famous scum claim, people rarely buy a Sheriff's word. How far do you agree?

GamesManiac: To a certain extension, I agree, but...

Um... I guess that's all I can cover. Any suggestion on marking scheme? Excuse me for being a noob, I can't think of any good idea. I think I'll allocate 5 marks for points at Constructive phase and 5 marks for judge impression at Rebuttal phase. Not a simple main point could earn 1 mark for points, it must be deemed persuasive and informative to judge with good elaboration. 5 impression marks theory is similar to Role Idea Contest marking rational. Any thoughts?
