Judging

Judging is a task made simple by the simple criteria that has be created just for you good guys and gals of awesome.

The judging will be split into four elements.

Each of which will be split from 100 pts.

Flow

30 pts

Flow is not necessarily overall posting. This is more like the gauging the sense of anticipation measured between posts. This gauges how one character's post ends and how your post starts to the point where it ends.

The game is supposed to flow as though written by one person as individual posts from both players are simply too small to be measured from person to person.

Susan

30 pts

Otherwise known as characterisation(we decided that word, although huge is rather generic)

You selected your characters for a reason. You should make them fit yourself and the character themselves. The combination of the two concepts creates realism. What is basically what this element is all about.

What makes this category so fascinating is the fact you have a maximum of 75 words per post Bwahahahaaha!!!


Power

30 pts

This is not actually about power but rather the balance of power.

In this game the way you attack plays a huge role on how your opponent accepts the attack.

This entire game is a balance of give vs take.

The skill in which you dish out attacks.
If you keep sending out game ending attacks every, single, turn then there's a great chance you will lose.

The skill in which you take in attacks.
You have full control of how you take in damage. If you're crushed every single turn, then logically maybe you should lose, but more importantly if you dismiss every single attack then you're on to the bigger extreme and you will most definitely lose.

Shazzam!

10 pts

Otherwise known as best attack.

This is the golden snitch of attacks.
Sometimes rook takes queen and turns the chess game around. This is where that manoeuvre gets acknowledged.

This is for the best post.

Mountains of back and forth and the best post scores ten points.

Judging!


How it's done and what it means to you!


Judging is not simply one man skimming twenty to thirty posts and deciding a winner somewhat randomly.
No!

Judging is an advanced process with actually thought, logic and feeling involved.
Now the world of SMUT has always been a very open one which allows fun and wild cards and free creativity.

Everything in SMUT is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. The one most important element being that SMUT is and always has been a CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING WRITING COMPETITION.


This is important to know because no matter what you say or do, how it's done, why it is done. The thing that mattes most is the writing.

This is a challenging and open world for writers to embark in, in as open a world as I can create within RPA.
Which why it is important to adhere to the rules of RPA and SMUT

Rules are the limits that we as writers must strive to work around in order to challenge ourselves. Following the rules is a great way to challenge yourself and see what you can do as they will be working the same scenario as yourself.

Also, without rules the fight

There are other things to consider when posting outside of the rules. They have already been mentioned: Flow, Power, Susan, Shizzam.

HOW ARE THEY MEASURED YOU ASK?

Simple. Post by Post.
There are as many rounds as there are posts you make. And each of them are measured in the same manner a boxing match is measured.
The positive effects of this is that your performance is measured from a reader's perspective instead of one that would come from a typical judge's perspective, also each and every trick or skill you use accumulates as the readings continue to give judges something to refer back to when commenting on your efforts or comment about your efforts.
The only negative is that if your judge is fairly liberal and marks each round badly then the scores will like be very even and Shizzam will be a major game winner. If you can call that a negative.


Expanding on Susan, Flow and Power Coming Soon.
