- Judges. Like in the game, each contest will have judges, 1 main judge and X side judges. Each judge have their own personality and preference. By fulfilling their preference, one will earn Judge's Ribbion and be awrded extra points. These points are fixed, as to provide something constant over all the dices in contest. The core idea of this is to hopefully provide actual choices in the middle of a contest instead of it being a "who can get more dices" competition. Many top-rated board games implements multi way to score points and that idea stems from that observation.
Example:
Main Judge, Judge Jessica likes performers that really go for it. "Pokemon who has generated the most voltage" gets her ribbon. Side Judge 1, Judge Bryan enjoys sabotage. "Pokemon who has performed most sabotage moves and if equal, the one who puts the most fumble point on opposition" gets his ribbon. Side Judge 2, Judge Malcolm is a well-known hippie, he comes to a contest to see moves that are usually performed in other contests. "Pokemon who has used the most side-types(in a cool contest, that would be a tough or beauty move) of moves" gets his ribbon.
A main judge ribbon is worth X point and side judge ribbon is probably worth half of X point. I have to run some contest tests again myself to determine the point but it should be high enough to be in a player's consideration when deciding what to do. The players can choose to go for maximum amount of dice or maybe take moves with lower dices but impress the judges for some consistent, no gambling needed, points in the end.
- Voltage. Voltage is a huge problem in PTU Contest. It is not exactly a "problem" problem but it is a brain-dead, OP mechanics that says "just generate me as much and as fast as possible and you will win". The only counterplay is to Attention Grabber constantly to take voltage away from your opponent. I have think of multiple solution to this but none I have put to test and it probably comes to player's preference:
Proposal 1a: There is a threshold, randomized at every contest. The initial idea is that players don't know but I will be hinting the crowd in RP throughout the contest. Once the voltage total go over the threshold, the one whose move puts it over will be penalized. Its move that round will only score an Appeal Point on a 6 and no Realiable Performance will change that. The participant with the highest voltage will become 0 voltage(if multiple participants are, all become 0) and others lose half of their voltage, as a result of the crowd cooling down.
Proposal 1b: Similar to 1a, except the one who hits or go over the voltage count is awarded and not penalized, which is closer to the game. Not sure if this will help voltage spamming issue though, a penalty is more likely to make people be more careful.
Proposal 2: After certain voltage threshold, the chance of getting fumble point increase. This is to stimulate how much your Pokemon is under pressure to continue to impress the crowd and how much the attention-drawing are affecting their performance, rhythm and whatever. For instance, say at 2 voltages and above, 1 and 2 of a dice becomes Fumble Point, 3 is 0 Appeal Point, 4 and 5 is 1 Appeal Point and 6 is 2. This makes voltage management important and let players decide what level of reward vs risk they want to go with.

The judges seem like a fun way to give people points for having unique performances so I quite like it. as for your proposals, I prefer Proposal 2 and Proposal 1B simply because the point of Voltage is making the crowd go wild, which should give a bonus. You also would need to discuss the Center of Attention if we went down the route of Proposal 2, simply because it's only during Center of Attention that you can even roll a natural fumble, so we would need to implement something to provide more opportunities for fumbles. You could also implement the mechanic from the games where seeing the same move twice in a row gets fumble points. This could prevent people from spamming moves for Voltage Gain, and have to make a varied moveset with Voltage boosters if they wanted to rely on Voltage. That's about all I can think of right now, I may come up with more ideas later.

^ What he said. Personally, I'm a fan of proposal 2, but the rule change will also need minor mechanic edits elsewhere to accommodate it. Alternatively, you can use all three and leave us guessing on which rule is in play. After all, some crowds can get hype and continue to hype to no end until it comes crashing down with a small mistake (2). Other crowds love it when their hype is even more hyped (1b). Then there're the crowds that dislike over-hype, the type that believe in moderation and break points in performances, i.e. a song that plays in fortissimo the whole time probably isn't a good song (1a).

Sorry everyone but I am currently in the middle of "no internet winter". It started last week and for some reason it got worst nationwide on Monday. Judging by my past experience, I don't think I can do a lot until next week. sandsofazorin & seraphflonne You two are free to control your respective Pokemon to keep the RP organic until I am sure I can keep up.

Hello everyone, please choose your phone model(read: template) for future and possibly soon usage: Example <- Here's an example of it being used in the previous rendition of the game You all will need to register on that site to see the templates, which is just a few clicks anyway. There are not many phone templates out there and without Style Tag on this site, there are only three choices I can find(that satisfy me, there are some that are just too simple or not-good-looking-enough): iPhoneSamsung GalaxyHTCIf you understanding the coding, you will be able to personalize your phone background and what not. If so, please post your edited template to me in this thread.

You can test the code now if you want, or we can just wait until that is used for Marcus for the first time. Marcus has bad tech edu. so I'd assume he's not going to use it much.

Sands, you have full control as to how you want to assign the tasks in the kitchen if you want to. The two other students, Daisy and Gilbert, will listen to you since they know you know your way around the kitchen. Mostly so you have more things to write about.
And you might want to login to Skype once in a while, it's easier to communicate things like that this way.
Infynis, you can choose to roll either General Edu or Intuition and make a side roll of Focus.

Oh, I thought you were going to post that and I'd have a chance to respond in character. I was going to have Marcus ask Sorrel to sneak in.

I don't plan for that to be a big thing that need a post. I was kind of expecting Sorrel would just stay outside to eat and then we would proceed.
Either way, there are two ways to execute your sneaking plan from what I see(tell me if your plan is different). One is Marcus hides the food inside his clothes or using some sleight of hand to "mask" them from the librarian when you enter. Two is to have Sorrel sneak them in. The problem with Sorrel sneaking them in is that she is holding the food, which means she has no hands to do all the climbing and whatever if that's your plan. The food is a burden to her movement so there will be a penalty to the sneaking roll. Additionally, there are really only one main door to the library so the librarian on the front desk has full attention so another source of penalty. If you would take her food, then you would be the sneaking those foods in, which is "option one" up there. You can also distract the librarian(the easiest way is you will talk to him/her, as opposed to your previous plan of not interacting with him/her) so Sorrel has an easier time sneaking in.
You can try to find windhole or whatever for Sorrel to sneak in from other sides, but doing that is a waste of time in your current situation as you need the 10-15 minutes fully on the book search to find anything.
If you would like to respond ICly, just edit in the plan in your current post.
