Hello folks! By player request, we'll be extending the Contest deadlines for another week. So:

Contest entries are now open until 11:59 PM EST, March 30th.
Voting is delayed and will open March 31st.
Voting (and editing in a Judges' Choice thread link) will be open until 11:59 PM EST, April 6th.

Questions and submissions should still go on the previous OOC post here.

We also want to remind players that you are very welcome to post plotting/partner-finding comments on that same post! Just post a comment that's not under the Question or Submission headers.

It's been some time since the last contest, but hosts Riegfried and Soy are finally back! Through the first half of March, characters will be able to catch video and audio announcements advertising their next contest and encouraging all trainers to enter.

The duo are in particularly fine form this month, and are rotating their outfits and props for every single announcement. There’s only one commonality between all these switches - they’re clearly alternating between matching each other’s looks or having exact opposite vibes. Wonder what the theme could be this time…?

( Contest time! )

Maracas aggressively drawing closer. You cannot run.


( Come on, shake your body, baby, do the conga! )

Step 1: Spooky season
Step 2: Add flamboyant contest hosts
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Contest!

( Get ready for a fabulous fright )

The weather is getting warmer, the sun is setting later...and what's that? Why, it’s time for another contest! This month, we'll be celebrating the arrival of spring with some very floral, grass...y stuff!

( April showers bring May flowers...March brings contests! )

With all entries gathered and submissions closed, we've put together a Vote to find out who was best in show this time around!

In addition, we've also revealed this contest' secret category which is 'creative move usage'. You'll also find a spot to vote for that on the form. As a reminder, please only one vote per player, regardless of the number of characters you play. The vote will be open until 11:59PM on Friday the 11th.

Results will be posted on Saturday the 12th! We'll reveal your spooktacular prizes then too.

With all the entries collected and the submissions closed, it's time to start our contest vote. We can also now reveal the secret voting category, which this time will be 'Best Costuming'!

The voting will be open until midnight on Friday the fourth! and the results will be posted on Saturday the fifth. Prizes will also be revealed then.

With all the entries collected and the submissions closed, it's time to start our contest vote. We can also now reveal the secret voting category, which this time will be 'Most Creative Use of A Move'.

The voting will be open until midnight on Thursday the 30th and the results will be posted on Friday the 1st.

With all the contest entries submitted, it's time to start voting. Please fill out this google form.

We ended up with an absolutely stunning amount of contestants, so this time we certainly need some proper Eurovision style voting. Please award 12 points to your absolute favourite entry, then ten to one point for the rest. Make sure not to award entries points twice! If you've already given someone seven points, you can't also give them five points.

If you are wondering what to vote based on, please look at factors like creativity, how the pokemon move was incorporated, and possibly things like the taste if players have given any indication of how well a dish turned out. This is a completely personal vote, so no decision you make can be wrong!

And as before, we also have our super-secret, special voting category, which this time is our category 'Please Don't.' Cooking is a skill which, unfortunately, not everybody possesses. Pick the entry which most made you want to whisper 'please don't' at the screen for this category.

Voting will be open until at least Wednesday. Ideally, we'll tally up the points on Thursday, but admittedly, this plan depends slightly on how quickly all the votes come in.
