But I'm out. I can't compete. I probably can't judge. I see no logic in me staying other than to add to the conversation and answer questions when I can. Its not like I'm not going to compete next year. I have lost unless there's semi-cruel joke or mistake I don't know about. Permalink | February 22, 2013, 6:21 pm |

Nope, just be sensible. If you think it could fail to meet the category requirements, ask me, but this round should be pretty lenient. Just try to meet the spirit of the category, don't try and exploit some loophole. That's really all there is to it :3

Quoting Backblast ?
Farming warrior. Hmmm...
I got an email that said you were asking about this, but it looks like that comment was deleted.
No, I don't mean farmerish. I mean Nomadic, which can be like shepherds or things like that, but base it off a historical warrior, like the Huns.
I'm not a history buff, so I can't really think of other examples off the top of my head, but from world history class I know that aggressive nomads were quite the territorial problem in Asia a long time ago; they were like land pirates if you will.
If you don't know what to do, try doing a little research first to find something you like. Permalink | February 23, 2013, 12:16 pm |

*facedesk* no. He means to base it off of some of the ancient nomadic people. A lot of them were from Asia, yes, but you could also use some American Indians as an example, and then there are the nomadic tribes that settled into Mesopotamia. You got a lot of options here. Some of them will merely require a few minutes of googling to know what exactly to do. Permalink | February 23, 2013, 12:39 pm |

Your moc should say that it was posted on March 3 or earlier, if your moc says that it's posted on March 4, it's late.
And to explain one more time in another way, get it in before 11:59 on March 3. Heck, get it in before 11 PM in case somebody has a blackout, which seems to happen every freaking contest.

Hey guys, I'd just like to put out that it looks like Aaron won't be able to judge anymore, for an actual reason that I know and finally know ahead of time.
Anyway, scores will now be out of 80 for good it looks like. If you want to tally your totals, (which I might do for the final round), just multiply all the scores that are out of 80 by 1.25, which would be the equivalent of them being out of 100. Permalink | March 3, 2013, 11:39 am |
