I generally agree with all the points Dustin made, but adding on. ..

General QuestionsEdit
1. It was a good way to trigger interaction among other users on the wiki. Lots of people got to vote for tributes, which is good, but I do think certain deadlines should be placed. We shouldn't spend too much time nominating tributes as, like what Dustin pointed out, it is time consuming. Helena was crowed TOTM on the end on October, and it's already the start of November.

2. Judging wasn't bias, although as Nick had pointed out, there was the voting. Nominating was also a bit bias as well (I didn't nominate tributes for a reason, ya know . . .). I also remember how you wanted me to list my own opinions on the finalists on chat (sorry I didn't get to that by the way), which makes me think you kinda wanted my take on the tributes a lot. I did listed the flaws and the strengths of the tributes I voted for, something a few people didn't do. People really need to tell more about the tributes than the basic idea. ..

3. Indeed. Anna, you are by far one of the most unbiased people I know here, but I still think a couple of other judges wouldn't hurt either. Everyone has their own preference, so it would be good to find other judges takes on the tributes. Also, I do find the stress being placed on to you is a bit much, especially considering you do most of the work here, so a little help wouldn't be bad at all.

4. Nominations. Nominations everywhere.

5. I had fun doing my own voting, since I actually had valid opinions of the tributes. Except some people just listed names, rather than their reasonings. Before the TOTM took place, I recommended people added why they want to vote for a certain tribute. Unfortunately enough, only a handful of people did so.

6. Not really. I agree entirely with Dustin on this point, as the majority of people are going to be biased. Although I was tempted to nominate my own tributes, I wasn't comfortable of doing so, in fear of being biased. (Also why I didn't nominate any tributes.)

7. Yes, yes, and yes. While some things need to be changed, I do believe this trial was a good way to intice interaction on the wiki. Activities, such as these, will attract more people to be active than how they were before.

Rule ProposalsEdit
Here's some new rules which I propose for next round. You can just answer yes/no to these.

1. Agreed. We don't need a pattern of the same tributes being in the top five everytime, although this is unlikely. Others should have a shot of getting TOTM as well.

2. Yes.
