-There will be no favoritism when I score entries. It grates upon my sensibilities.

-Entries will be scored out of 12, and scores will be cumulative. Total score will determine ranking and who goes up for votes. Nothing fancy, right?

-All entries and character forms must be submitted to [email protected] in order to be accepted. This is mainly because copying from a PM is a pain in the ass.

-Kills will function as negative points on a score. There won't be as many in these Games as is usual, but they'll still exist. Use them wisely.

-Things I am looking for in an entry: Creativity, Accuracy to Task, Spelling/Grammar, and Do I Like It? These are not the only things that define a good entry, but thinking about them will give you a good start.

-If you are up for votes, YOU MAY VOTE FOR YOURSELF. This is and will always be true in my Games.

-I will be implementing the Gamemaker save once again in these Games, as in Saga of the Tree. How it works: if you are up for votes but I judge your entry to be particularly good, I will save you from voting. I will only do this once a round, if at all, and no tribute can be saved more than twice. Note- the quality of the entry for that task and that task alone will be the only thing I take into consideration for the Gamemaker save.

-I and I alone will determine how many points you receive upon handing in late.

-In the event of a tie in voting, I will extend the voting deadline by one hour and send a message to my followers asking them to vote. If the tie remains after the deadline expires again, I will break the tie in whatever way I see fit.

-Everyone in my Games gets one extension on any task of their choice, no-questions-asked for 24 hours. After this has been used this, I become much harder to impress when a competitor asks for an extension.

-If you're paying attention, put "Abracadabra" in the Other section of your character form to be eligible for notes the first task.

-I promise to always give at least five days for a task (no nasty penalty this time, katniss-everdeen) and at least 20 hours for voting.

-Sponsorships this task will be a bit odd. I will not give sponsorships to the four best tributes overall- instead, the best tribute of each nation will receive a sponsorship. You may wish to take that into account when choosing a nation.

-Please bear in mind that I have a life. I'll try to post when I say, but I'm in college now and time can get weird. Also, I will not have an entry due during finals week, so you'll have an extra-long time to work on that task, whichever it may be.

-I don't assign word limits. Ever. Write as much as you feel you need to, and just focus on making it high-quality.

-Be respectful, people. To me, to your competitors... I don't expect a problem here, but the Internet is dark and full of assholes. Think before you type.

- If you have any questions, just ask, okay? I don't bite. Usually ;)
