And so we start the greatness 'greatocity.'
Announcement and explanation: http://www.ubersite.com/m/71444
Play-off Bracket and further explanation of the rules: http://www.ubersite.com/m/71477
Original statement of idea from May (not vital): http://www.ubersite.com/m/66214
Round one of the first D-Prime Madness, the competition better in every way than Ubermadness, begins immediately. The first 16 people whom decided that Ubersite needs a writing competition done in the name of awesome, with amazing efficiency, no committee, and no bullshit, will now immediately begin to compete for the humble title of 'Lord of Awesome.'
The titles for each match-up follow. I also provided the titles for all future match-ups, because it wouldn't be fair if only I had them and the extra time to pre-mediate with them; I didn't know what any of them were until last night, and didn't know which was mine until a few minutes ago. I think it adds to the novelty and integrity of the game that we know them early, and have to decide whether it's worth it or not to plan ahead for a title we aren't certain to make it to. The more determined and concerned participants have an advantage.
Competitors can start posting immediately and have until the end of Round One to do so. The post must have the title given to your match-up (plus, if necessary, 'NSFW' at the beginning.) At 9:30pm Friday, in exactly six days, the successful posters are tallied (for basis for victory see previous two posts linked above,) and move on to Round Two!
Titles...!
Round one
1. BillsSBChamps (329 000) vs 16. Egadz (-4 500) : Here we go again
2. Ainkara (300 000) vs 15. Alex.Lifeson (0) : I never thought I'd have to say this
3. Darko (284 500) vs 14. Biznochizzle (28 500) : Remember when...
4. Nitty34 (246 000) vs 13. Mike00295 (21 000) : Finally!
5. Brdn_nkd (174 500) vs 12. Rainelark (46 000) : I hope you find it
6. D_Prime (160 000) vs 11. Vulva (71 000) : Pardon me?
7. Badassmofo (123 000) vs 10. Xcuses (76 500) : Yields to the last dawn
8. Yermom (102 000) vs 9. Slighty_Obnoxious (88 000) : The Fusion
Round Two
1 vs 8 Forgive and Forget
2 vs 7 They rushed
3 vs 6 Let's get started!
4 vs 5 Finish Him!
Round Three (for Bracket with division labels see second post linked above)
Division A Finals: We used to... we used to...
Division B Finals: Where did you get that from?
Round Four
'The Fountainhead'
'Dude, where were you?'
(The higher seeded member of the finals chooses which is for the championship match and which goes to 3rd vs 4th)
A few basic regulations have been added. They are as follows. Some already existed.
-Post must correspond with title provided to your match-up
- Any post that has any thing that would be unsafe for work or similar atmospehers must begin with 'NSFW'
- No plagiarism
- A competition post cannot explicitly reference the giving of ratings on Ubersite. Neither can Uberboard posts, however, we can't keep track of that; just don't do it any way, unless you're a total wad.
- There must be at least 150 characters in each entry (about 30 words;) if there are words added to your image file, and question as to whether or not you reached this number, they will be counted.
- You must receive at least 3 unique ratings that aren't from your self. If you receive only 2 ratings, your competition rating for the entry will either default to 0, or whatever the lowest rating you received is (whichever is lower.) If you receive one or zero unique ratings, you lose automatically. Remember that you're allowed to whore your own post as much as you want by commenting on your self to get MRR, and linking from other posts, so long as you don't reference your self being rated in any specific way (you can say 'it's great and awesome' if you want, but not 'give me a +2,' for example.
-If you rate the post you're up against, your opponent can decide to have it disregarded at will (this isn't a rule in the sense that it's something you're not allowed to do and can be punished for, but, it's something you should know.)
In order to be disqualified on these grounds, the decision must be explicitly supported by four members other than the person currently competing against the 'defendant.' This is so that if you played fairly but still technically failed to follow the rules, or there are any questionable interpretations/applications of the rules, you can stay so long as no one else thinks you should be kicked out.
In order to be disqualified on *any other grounds,* the decision must be explicitly supported by my self or Darko, plus six members other than the person currently competing against the accused. In other words, it's gotta be really stupid.
The rules are necessary as to get rid of really cheap assholes that might ruin it. These support-safe-guards are necessary because the rules may be 'interpreted differently' and there may be question as to what constitutes something being not safe for work. I my self am also a contestant, and for the sake of the integrity of the game, I don't want to be considered unfair in any rulings. This system of rules will be simpler and easier than it sounds (we just got to have several people comment that that person should be kicked out,) however, let's just have no cheap ass holes breaking these easy rules, and then we won't have to worry about it! By the way, I suggest that if there is *any* chance that an image in your post may be considered explicit, you should play it safe and put 'NSFW' at the beginning; this will probably GET you hits opposed to prevent them, and besides, hits are only a FOURTH tie-breaker, so it almost certainly won't matter.
Good luck, and may the most awesome user win!
And now, I go begin my first round post, and hope that Vulva will do the same shortly.
If you aren't in this competition, join the next one which will probably be in the fall, and just as importantly, watch the awesome fun in this one, and be or continue to be awesome.

Yermon and Slighty (who are against each other) and Alex are the only ones who haven't posted yet. Alex/Scott, your opponent, is probably going to soon time.

I'll have you know I am putting far more effort into my d-prime madness entry than I ever have on an ubermadness entry.

If it's possible and you post tonight, can you link to this page from your post to make sure that every one gets to it? I'd also like to link to your entry from here. I want to make D-Prime Madness as connected as possible.

AT LEAST. And you're only supposed to have one. You need AT LEAST 150 characters.

150 characters in each entry? How many entries are we suppose to have?

Haha! Oh man. I feel so bad, especially because you're a good writer. Don't worry, you'll certainly have a spot in the fall when there'll be unlimited contestants.

I finished my UberMadness post earlier today and now I have nothing left to do.
I rushed through it thinking I might get a spot in D-Prime Madness.
So much for wishes. Maybe next time.

Yes you can. It can even be porn if you want. However, if it's in any case explicit, the title must start with NSFW.
Also, you need at least a certain number of chacters in it (look above,) though they can be in the image if you want.
