miz_smarteepantz Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Ok I'm having a rosco moment trying to get the points so far figured out lol. I have another question now....do the new posts made by Brian and MaryAnne in this particular thread count? Brandy Quote
lost_sheep3 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 If we're going with the points system, how do we reward them? Who do we report them to? Or just put them after the various posts.And I think that this thread is a safe-zone...posts don't count...Also, do posts have to be DOH related or do they count in the other areas....LS3 Quote
Val Strate Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 I think any post is fair game for rating. As far as awarding the points, it's up to the judge on how much it appealed to the judge. Points will be posted in the Post Hogg Point Result thread. PMing in this case should be a good idea. Note, Alex is keeping tabs on the number of posts. Quote
DaneyDuke Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Also, do posts have to be DOH related or do they count in the other areas....LS3=) perhaps all posts made after a certain timestamp decided by contestants or judges should count. Daney Quote
AlexJackson Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Quick question...okay Brian, MaryAnne.. from my understanding its any posts thats OUTSIDE of this "post hogg" Thread?Alex Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Posted March 19, 2006 I'd prefer the radom hit to either exisiting or new threads. MaryAnne, that's fine. Posts count whether we start somethin' new, or post in an exisiting topic. Here's the one wrinkle I had, though....each "round," each of us would have to also start 1 new topic. Here's how I'd put it, originally:We start easy. 2 posts each, left in seperate places in the forums. We got 48 hours from the time of the respective posts, to remit a response to the enemy - um, opponent, and start a 3rd. I also need to add, that we can freely exceed the number of required posts, we just can't post LESS. This okay with you, o' esteemed, worthy opponent? Brian Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Posted March 19, 2006 Quick question... okay Brian, MaryAnne.. from my understanding its any posts thats OUTSIDE of this "post hogg" Thread? Right. The Post Hogg thread is a safety zone. Posts by MaryAnne and I, in this thread, don't count towards nothin'. Brian Quote
MaryAnne Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 This okay with you, o' esteemed, worthy opponent? Yep, works for me. I'm thoroughly and utterly confused so it must be working.. Khee! Quote
AlexJackson Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 THANK YOU For saying that MaryAnne! You arent the only one confused! Alex Quote
lost_sheep3 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Just to Clarify for all us poor suckers...I mean judges....During each "round" of play, each of the contestants must respond to everything posted by the other, as well as start one new topic of discussion.This is not a contest for the total number of posts during the day, but a chase around the boards. So for instance, if Brian starts a topic under "General Discussion" and answers one under "Episodes". MaryAnne must answer both of those, plus start one new topic of her own. Am I right?LS3 (and I really am 'Lost!') Quote
miz_smarteepantz Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Maryanne I'm rather confused myself and I'm not even a contestant!!! LOLBrandy Quote
MaryAnne Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Heh heh! Well if we're all confused we must really be on the right track. KHEE!I think LS3 has the clarification. At least, it's the same confusin' reasonin' that I'm comin' up with. LOLI do want to put forth another demilitarized zone (ROFL) of the Round Robin story "Buckshot." I don't think it should count because if Brian posts something it might not be something I can respond to and keep with continuity of the story. A visa versa. Ya know, he posts as Black Jack and cue's Alex, who cues Black Jack, who cues Alex, who cues whoever and then say, Min jumps in and cues Doc, who cues Val, who cues Rosco who cues me. Cripes, no wonder we make things confusin' around here!! ROFL Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Posted March 19, 2006 LS3, you are correct. The main objective is for MaryAnne and I to wear each other down, to the point one of us misses responding to the other's post at some point. I think we kinda got a head start on that. Heh heh! Brian Quote
Val Strate Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Tag... you're it!That's a good point. I don't think RR areas should count. As far as points go. If you're a judge you read something that MaryAnne or Brian wrote, put down a number 1 -10. That's the points. Add up all those numbers and when we're done with a round then post them in the point thread. I'll volunteer to add up the totals. Quote
pendragon1980 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 I'm still not entirely sure about the points system. As each post can be so subjective and even less about the idea of posting our scores publicly as we go. Quote
DaneyDuke Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 I'm still not entirely sure about the points system. As each post can be so subjective and even less about the idea of posting our scores publicly as we go.=) you could give the judges each a color of the rainbow or something,then only the judges would know what they scored for Brian & MaryAnne.

Chet Duke Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 *Blinks.*Wow... where on earth have I been. For a bit the entire town was silent. I take me a nap and now I feel like Rip Van Winkle waking up to finding everythings entirely different.I just got done readin about this lil challenge contest thing, its really cool. Great going MA and Brian. Too bad Im too late to get in on the judging, but thats alright Im gonna take a seat and watch this is interesting. Have fun ya'll.~Chet Duke Quote
Julieduke Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 How do you get to be a contestant in this contest take a look at my post a minute and you see I have quite a few since i first joined the board. Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Posted March 21, 2006 JulieDuke, Right now this is kind of a grudge match between the two of us. ( The HazzardNet staff has a proud history of trying to get on each other's nerves. ) We will have future Post Hogg contests for non-staff members. It's too much fun not to let other people try it! One thing tho', this is harder to keep up with than it looks. GAH!Brian Quote
Val Strate Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 You think it's hard to keep up with! Try and score this thing. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Posted March 21, 2006 It's doesn't help that my opponent is relentless. Jeeze LOUISE MaryAnne, I just got caught up, I refreshed the page, and...pow. Your tire tracks are all over the place again. Gaaaaaaaaaaaah.Brian Quote
MaryAnne Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 It's doesn't help that my opponent is relentless. Jeeze LOUISE MaryAnne, I just got caught up, I refreshed the page, and...pow. Your tire tracks are all over the place again. Gaaaaaaaaaaaah.BrianAnd I'm typin' slow too! Quote
miz_smarteepantz Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 I second Val's statement ya oughta be scorin this stuff. Us judges are playin follow the leader tryin to keep up with you two!Brandy Quote
Chet Duke Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 *Sighs.* Keep up the good work ya'll.~Chet Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Posted March 23, 2006 I have to admit, it looks like I've lost my own challenge. @#$%&*!!! MaryAnne told me I missed responding to one of her posts, and now that I looked around a little bit....I think I see the one she's talking about. I"m waiting for our judges to rule consensus before I give any concession speech tho'. Brian Quote
