"Auto-Flower's MORTAL COMBAT" competition sign-up

"Auto-Flower's MORTAL COMBAT"

Simple Rules;

Anything goes. (Female, male, hermie - but for a reason like pollen etc. any excuse will do, indoor/outdoor, soil / hydro - Anything)
Start Saturday Jan. 1st, 2011 - New Year's Day. (break ground within +/-1 week) NO EXCEPTIONS
Must be auto flower capable of growing within time frame. Plant does NOT need to be cut / dried / cured to be considered finished.
ONE Plant only - Must be the same plant from beginning to end. NO EXCEPTIONS (Sorry, this is a honor system. If you must cheat on this simple rule then you have bigger problems in life and you'll need to live with it. Please stick with your one original plant.)
UPDATES - First must be a picture of the started seedling within the mentioned start window. Then you must show a pictured update at least once every two (2) weeks. NO EXCEPTIONS
Competition will end Saturday March 26th, 2011, 12 weeks from start date. NO EXCEPTIONS

Judging - (biggie!)

ANYONE can vote. Largest number of votes a contestant recieves wins.
Voting - Starts 3-25-2011 and ends 4-1-2011 (April Fool's Day)
Judging is simple, the judges (voter) votes for favorite plant (for any reason). Only one vote per voter / judge.

Reefer-ee - That's me! I will make the decisions on anything pertaining to this grow. Since this is pretty open, I don't expect many if any issues. You may live in a democracy,, but not here. Decisions are final.

First prize; 30 seconds or less of "attaboys"
Second place; Honorable mention for "also ran"
Third place; Well,,, you're just "shit outta luck" is all that's to it.

End of rules - That's it in a nutshell. Fold / spinle / mutilate all you want. IF something happens to start a unseen issue, decision will be made according to intent. The intent is to show artistic / creative / useful plants with a grower that's not afraid to take chances and with a hobbyist interest.

Anyone in?

PS: Hopfully this advanced warning will allow more to get their seeds, come up with a game plan, and allow them time to get their grow room / supplies ready in time if need be.

This is just a sign-up to see if there is any interest in such a thing.
A new thread will be started for the actual competition on Christmas Eve (a star is born?) 12-24-2010

AFMC's fine print;

These ARE NOT RULES, only suggestions.
All the mortals in the movie had special attributes that helped them win. You and your plant should try and display the same. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
Challenge the wive's tales of what does and doesn't work.
Do something different with your plant. Maybe make it grow like a Christmas tree, dog face, inside a bottle, anything different to show you're special abilities. Be inventive and get away from the plain & simple straight grow. I intended to try and self - pollinate my last AF but didn't make out. Try a combination of techniques that other's say can't be done? This is Mortal Combat, a meer mortal (straight grow) would have little chance of surviving in this Realm (but, anything is possible).

(try to)Keep it fun!

Fighting through obsticles should get you points. Don't give up. Asking for help, researching answers, posting on other threads for help are all legal and within the rules (simply because there are none against it)

Keeping tabs on other contestants and dealing with hecklers, non-contestant postings, Moderator's input, etc. are all things YOU may need to deal with in your own way to make it to the end. There are no rules against any of this other than the RIU Rules as pertaining to site usage.

You think you're good? Here's your chance to show off your stuff.

On the voting - Anyone can vote for their favorite for any reason. That pretty much levels the playing field. A newbie that's never grow before may very possibly win simply by showing how their knowledge has advanced, over came obsticles, been the life of the party, etc. Voting for one's self would be un-kool. (but it's not a rule sayin...)

Play the game. Make people want to vote for you and your plant by whatever means you can come up with. Without rules,,, it's hard to cheat. However, the honor system is in place on a couple of fronts, like sticking to the same plant from beginning to end.

My intent is to hold the voting on a RIU public pole. If enough contestants, more than one voting pole may be required. We'll see how it pans out near the end.

Periodicly, the basic rules maybe brought "ttt" in the thread as a reminder for all.

Anyone interested should sign-up here before 12-24-2010

Yes! I like it, and will be getting ready soon!

My kombatant will be either Big Devil (most likely because it's fem) or my own Sweet Assassin!

im kinda diggin this. i might have a cobra i can do at that time. either way it will be fun to watch

Don't think ill be ready by the 1st. I think you should start it like a week after new years since people are not going to be buying seeds/grow equipment at Christmas.

the cobra has a bush pheno and its dank as fuck
