Guys, I'm almost done with the story. Unfortunately, it will have no quadruped/vedalken monstrosity. By circumstance of this being about control, I decided to have our mascot gear himself more towards that ideal.
EDIT: Story is complete. Going through the editing phase. Already found a picture for our mascot as well.
Let's develop the rubric for our review of the submissions in this contest, so we can automate and agree , and get through quickly, the other submissions.
My first attempt will reek of public schooling gr.9-11. But that's why the rest of you are here. To make me look better cover up when I miss the mark.
"Each clan's submission will be graded on a twenty-two (22) point scale by each other participating clan, broken down into four sections – Story, Image, Clan Factor and Mascot Likability/Believability.
Each section is to be judged on a zero (0) to five (5) point scale, with an additional point awarded to best overall Story and best overall Image. Zero (0) of course being the lowest possible score, and five (5) being the highest, (six [6] in the image and story grading sections).
The winner will be determined by the clan with the overall highest, averaged score from each participating clan.
Ties will be treated as ties, as per rianalnn's suggested Tie-Breaker Standardization."
Firstly, the way the grading is done in aggregate enforces a linear scale on the elements.
Story
0 1 2 3 4 5
No coherent plot, relevance of mascot obscured, story elements nonsensical
Some plot, relevance of mascot obscured, vaguely coherent elements
a basic plot is present, purpose of plot elements is difficult to grasp
plot with meaningful start, rising tension, end; well-arranged sequence, explains the mascot satisfactorily
plot is surprising, catchy, novel; integrates all elements elegantly and without waste
Stellar plot output; amazing writing, genuinely inspiring, and clearly, unquestionably motivates the mascot's adoption as a mascot
Any attribute unmentioned? A criticism of the scale - bottom heavy, top heavy?
Another point: Often with these kinds of things - the clan contests (we've seen a few), those who vote want to come up with ways to separate the submissions after the fact. Maybe this "4" is better than that "4". Coming up with this rubric now is exactly what I want to address. So nitpick! Nitpick away!
Even if we don't win, we can be unimpeachable in our process. And maybe this kind of care will rub off on others, and, with time, we will have infected won the community contest process itself in the end.

Thanks to Ilvaldi for taking up the project. Can't wait to see what you've come up with!
Eew, rubrics. Always hated when my teachers had used them in high school, as ultimately they didn't follow them properly and it seemed like they took a gut feeling for a grade. I like the one you have presented. Later will do a further look at it though. Trying to get rid of a nasty illness that has befallen me overnight. >:[
Ewh clan contests. Count me out. You guys have all the fun you want, if I feel the need to comment I will.
Oceanos how are things on the clan rep front?
But without your fearless leadership how will we ever win the popularity contest?
It really saddens me that i lack the green cards to do a mono-G control deck, I'll have to pair it with another color. Then again that is to be expected with me avoiding green all these years due to its freaky love of creatures.
Proposed contests for the coming year of Clan Contests. Personally, I am interested most in the Card Creation, Council Banner (It will get me to toy with photoshop, not that I am any good at it, but something to do at least a mock-up of my ideas), and Chess.
Card creation - Proposed by Daggertooth. Hosted by [The Called]? Or the Mods?
New Council Banner contest - Proposed by ?? Hosted by ?? (Maybe Mods on this one, hmm.)
Design-A-Format contest - MirrorEntity Hosting for [Clan Flamingo]
Clan Chess Contest - fluffyn00b Hosting for [The Pack]
Cryptic Crossword Contest - Aurora Illumina hosting for [The Crafters]
Clan Mafia Contest - Emo_Pinata hosting for [The Family]
We're supposed to get everyone's thoughts on which we'd like approved. Later tonight if I get enough feedback here, I can voice in on any we don't like/especially want.
I don't like contests where the other clans are judges, that is what made me originally despise these contests, and I don't care what the mods think of that.
That leaves chess, I guess. and the Cryptic Crossword. The Crossword is too easily done with Google most likely. I don't know.
As for Irmis, I have made it known I feel as much disdain for these things as you do, and am not budging my stance on that. Participation in these are optional, and I encourage other clan members to do so if they please. But I shall not, and will not play forum popularity contests for the sake of being a clan, or a clan leader.

Ilvaldi, I finally have time just now to check out the note you advised me of. Elsewhere.
In an entirely unrelated matter completely independently motivated, it's real swell you're putting up your industry for our chances in the clan contest.
But without your fearless leadership how will we ever win the popularity contest?
Through my insidious means.
Or being liked.
Either way concerns ruthless bureaucratic tape. So, we're fine.
It really saddens me that i lack the green cards to do a mono-G control deck, I'll have to pair it with another color. Then again that is to be expected with me avoiding green all these years due to its freaky love of creatures.
Any thing at all would prove pedagogical.
I actually started my collection in Green cards. Did you believe that? Or rather, my collection started with green cards. I must have had hundreds of these given to me and forming really simplistic decks through congealment before I saw Hermetic Study.
Then I acquired a ton of Urza's Saga drakes. And serpents. Then a Horseshoe Crab.
Then I built a deck I liked.

I won't have time to do Mafia again. If I play another Mafia, it will be a Normal... I need more baseline readings.
There's always a card creation contest. I think we can be more proactive than doing a contest here. I think we can deconstruct card design itself. The article from meyou in OffTopic has rekindled my spirit on a Color Pie writing. Which is major for me, for those (abethedemon) who don't know.
I think we should approve the council banner contest. Motion posted.
Mindslavor what's the issue with the Chess contest? It's unexpected.
Regarding the below: Don't fret over your name not appearing. Comment freely. Think of it as no one holding you responsible for the managerial decision.
By the authority I add myself, either Mindslavor or Irmis can remove himself.
That leaves Oceanos, whose middle-tier status forces him to say something with not enough admin privileges to undo my add. muehe heh heh.

Approve (at least) the council banner contest.

Is there a specific order to these contests? Or dates on which they shall be run? I want a full report Oceanos.
Next Id like to move we at -least- get a name for poor Oceanos. I feel he was vital in the clans initial successes and deserves some sort of official title. You cannot hold land until you have a title.
Id do the chess deal, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm the best chess player in the clan, and that I don't have much time to play in a clan contest. Being a spike I hate losing, so Id pretty much have to force myself to find time for this.
So if someone disagrees with the motion do they then with the motion on the stack tap UU and counterspell?
Or Bolt it. Or Path it.
Or Nevermore'd.
Or none of these and remark in some constructive way on dispensing with the motion on good terms.
EDIT: Oh wait that sentence looks really irritable. Crap I'm sorry. I should provide an example. wait...
No we don't destroy the motion. Actually I was quite confused with what you wrote. Anyway, the thing is brought down by documenting how it turns in an other direction. When everyone can respectably sign on what's there (implying everyone 'signs' it twice), it's done. If we discard it that happens with... when ever no body can like recirculating it as it is anymore. Which is a consequence of the persuasion on it and outside it.
Was thinking about making a tri-color lockdown deck for EDH but I'm concerned about the stamina not to mention it's viability.
Harbinger, I will take your questions to my reunion with my old Magic group. They are huge EDH lovers over there. One thing I can hear more than half of them saying is 'arbitrary lock down won't really work', by which they mean in singleton. I also don't believe it would be fun, except for this one guy who basically loves terrible ideas. I mean, you'd be playing around whatever restriction card you drew. They don't push the game anywhere.
That's very fair, Mindslavor. Now, is your concern that you would not want to lose if you were put up to playing, or you would not want to lose if the clan were put up to playing? I repeat, it's very fair what you've said - and it's got me thinking about how to handle a certain idea - so we can have someone else play the Chess? If that happened.
The idea is a tool to use to separate lending support for a plan, to volunteering for that plan. A tool of language so that , when used, statements like yours from before are not surprising but rather self-explanatory.
I'm using my sig banner because it REMAINS awesome and has clearly taken on an even greater level of ownage and appropriateness.
It's too bad Serafis doesn't have so much time to drop manga references around here. The most exciting thing I've done lately is handle a plastic-core fibre optic cable. By handle I mean touch.
Woo.
Remind me: Who here plays fighter games? Or spectates? (watches streams or tournament videos or casts like Punisher1564 on Xbox live?)
As far as dates go: None are set currently. We are voting on which contests present so far we approve of, which only really matters to us if we wish to participate. I see no reason to do anything other than state, "These are the ones we want to participate in. Any others we are not opposed to, but are unlikely to partake in."
So long as there is at least fleeting interest in any of the contests, I will approve of them. Not signing a contract saying we have to submit or partake in anything.
---
As far as a title goes, Clan Rep works for me. I think you're giving me too much credit
---
I don't watch or play many fighting games, and those I do it is purely casual (Soul Caliber, Super Smash Brothers games). I have an Xbox now, but I don't see myself buying SC or Street Fighter. Just wouldn't get the ~$60 out of them, as my TV is always in use (Roommate watching Netflix) and prefer Online when available.
I do watch streams and try to keep up to date with MOBAs (LoL, DotA2, BLC), however.
Situational. Boomerang is trading a spell for disruption. So, about 1 for 1/2. Repeal is trading a spell for disruption plus a card, but will probably cost more. So, about 1 for 1 and 1/2.
Irmis, they are both tempo spells. And in a game of tempo you always want to be up extra cards, that way after you tempo them out you have something left to finish them with. Think about all the 1 mana creatures decks like zoo run. I am saying this strictly assuming you are playing competent players with decent decks.
All hail DOOM.....errr back on subject....
H_H : I hate losing, and as a Triumvir of the clan, I would therefor hate seeing the clan lose as it is an extension of me. So it is honestly both. I dislike the idea of a chess contest anyway, and despite what a certain mod whispered in my ear, have Zer0 interest in clan love fests.

From Wiki : An ambassador is the highest ranking diplomat who represents a nation and is usually accredited to a foreign sovereign or government, or to an international organization.
I motion Oceanos officially be labeled Ambassador of the Tolarian Academy, all in favor? All who wish to be slaughtered oppose?

Hello Tolarian Academy!
I come here in hopes of membership to your academy. I mainly remember you all from the MUC, I actually had to go to the old thread to find out what happened. I am not sure if any of you remember me but if not then I shall try harder this time to make myself more memorable
I have been playing magic the gathering for about 15 years casually and 5 competitively. My favorite color is blue followed by white and then green. I love control decks. I recently just finished up a mono blue control EDH deck with Azami at the helm.
Glad to have found you all, and I hope that I may join. Let me know if you require anything else of new members because I didn't not see anything in the opening post besides an introduction.
Allwinapprentice you are welcomed with open arms here. Since we are a budding new clan, there is no membership requirements or trial periods. Consider yourself a part of the clan my friend and welcome. Please feel free to see the first post and learn how to add the clan banner, so that should you post in other areas of the forum, members might see it and decide to join.
It is good to see the growth of the clan.
Matusow is insane, I emulate that guy as much as possible IRL @ the poker tables.
Whatever you guys ultimately decide on the clan contest I shall back, because after all you guys will be doing most of the legwork and participating, so who am I to judge what you choose to participate in.
Perhaps our new Apprentice would like to read back through and add his two cents to it.

Why don't you tell us about this Azami deck? ... actually, I'm wondering where my Azami are, come to think of it.
We should adopt a Planeswalker. But which one works best for our purposes? Hmm I think Jace is out be default so we won't be stepping on any toes.
We tag line, too.
We could adopt Elspeth. She likes controlling stuff. I think.
Also she is clearly in need of cuddles.
Mechanically nearly none of them are about control... so... like... Sorin, maybe? I dunno?
