I'm instructed to welcome you to this year's so-called C3.
It has been decided that an explicit description of the rules of this war are in order:
1) The winning faction of the war will be determined by the Triumvirate at some point after the conclusion of this event based on each faction's performance.
2) A faction's performance are based on the amount of threads in the C3 event forum made by members in the faction. As such, neither the amount of replies, views or any similar aspects of the thread other than the faction of the thread creator comes into play. Members of both factions are thus free to comment on any entry without having it influence the outcome of the war.
3) Only threads which are deemed "C3 material" are counted. The threads should in some way revolve around Super Mario World, ROM hacking or C3 itself. Only threads that showcase something - be it hack releases, screenshots, Let's Plays of other people's entries, C3 related podcasts or similar - are counted.
4) If a person makes multiple threads that could easily be merged into a single entry, they will be considered a single thread from a scoring perspective. For example, if a person is releasing several ExGFX sets, they will be considered the same submission. However, a single person releasing a hack, some graphics sets, some music tracks and an ASM hack, this would count as four distinct entries.
5) The decision of the Triumvirate is final and cannot be challenged.
6) To remove unfair advantages, the Site Assistant status and powers of both Chester and System are hereby revoked. As a neutral party, I - The Magician - shall in the meantime take on those responsibilities.
7) It is my understanding that most C3 events have some form of avatar-related gimmick. As such, I hereby announce that the dress code for the duration of the event is "homemade war gear".
8) I've also been instructed to tell you to enjoy this event. I don't know if that's meant to be interpreted as a request or a demand.
