Attention all Idiot Princesses and Idiot Maidens.
Hereby, you are all workers of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. This is your fate!
(http://i54.tinypic.com/2gt93xt.jpg)
| (http://i51.tinypic.com/16hrmdl.jpg) | Izayoi Sakuya, chief maid of the mansion, has been ordered by the Mistress to do something about the weakening reputation of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. However, Sakuya is too busy with her daily work. Therefore she assigned me; the loyal admirer of the SDM household and eternal supporter of the Scarlet Devil, The Queen of the Night, The Embodiment of Charisma, The Mistress, Remilia Scarlet, to take care of business. |
"Certainly, it is an honour and pleasure to do such thing for the Mistress." I said and bowed in front of the Mistress and her head maid.
Punishments and rewards
This contest has no safety. The current Idiot Maidens have to proof they still have the loyalty for the Mansion, otherwise they will lose their status. The best IP servant will be rewarded with a Idiot Maiden title. The runner ups 2nd, 3rd and 4th will keep will keep IP. All the others will lose their IP status, but are allowed to stay in the mansion. Refusing the challenge is impossible, as you will be exiled, stripped and killed immediately. Scarlet Devil Mansion has no room for weaklings.
During all missions, if you post on CPMC: (I am excluding IRC chat/rest of forum to prevent over-kill pressure)- In any post you make, if you refer to Remilia, you will call her ?Lady Scarlet?, ?My Lady? or ?Mistress?.
- In any post you make, if you refer to Sakuya, You will call her ?Head Maid? or ?Miss Izayoi?.
- You cannot have a Remilia avatar or Sakuya avatar.
- You will respect any EoSD characters. (i.e: China, Pad jokes, making fun of Cirno/Patchouli/Koakuma etc. is forbidden).
I hope all is clear? Good. Let us begin. I noticed that my mistress is not being exposed enough to the real world. So we will immediately out with our first mission.
Mission 1 ?The Charisma Pose.?
Description:
Using this pose, the Mistress has released the scarlet mist from the tip of her fingers. The pose reminds all the citizens of Gensoukyo of that one terrifying incident, which lead this pose to become a trademark and symbol of her charisma. The special hand pose marks her elegance and charisma, and thus it should be promoted more.
Objectives:
Reproduce Remilia's hand pose in your own creative way. Drawing, photography or other "visual" productions are allowed. Creativity and genius ideas can achieve bonus points. The charismatic pose has to be visible with all its glory!
Reference material: http://i55.tinypic.com/2isf4fd.png
Submission:
PM me your link to picture. No ZIP file and thinking I will upload it for you, because servants have to make sure the links are accessible somewhere.
Deadline:
Tuesday 23:59 (GMT+1) 8 February 2011
There are no excuses. Failure will result in being skewered by knives and gungnir.
-
This is one of those times where I really wish I were an IM still.
Oh well.
[attach=1]
-
Yeah, I was right. (http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/8387/jacksonpopcorn.gif)

Rumor has it that Eientei has good wages, good food,
and a smokin' princess
.
:trollface:
-
Princess Drake reporting for duty oh charismatic siege engine of destruction sir.
-
All right, it seems I got a bit carried away with the objectives. My apologies for that first as it might be bit too much asked. Therefore, you have to make a picture of yourself, doing the pose.
Originality and genius twists to it might cause bonus points. Use your creativity.
Edit: there, first post modified.
Edit 2: Deadline adjusted!
-
Yeah, I'm over almost getting IP in that Wikipedia contest.

-
Considering the little real life relations I have, this challange would require me to act totally out-of-character (if you can say that about your real life person) and to either a) introduce several females to touhou or b) come on to them as creepy.
Not to mention that the only camera I have at hand here is the one that is built into my laptop, which makes taking pictures of mere acquaintances doubly difficult and awkward.

Ah. Much better.
FOR THE MISTRESS!
-
I'll have to see what I can do with this laptop camera, but this should be manageable.
Let's do this!
-
Picture doesn't have to be a photograph by the way. So you can get creative on your interpretation of "picture" ;)
-
My apologies for the extremely bad wording. It seems my Dutch is interfering too much when I am trying to type coherent sentences.
I hope everything is clear now.
-
This was fast.
Well, I shall try my best to help Miss Izayoi in her task as much as I can.
-
Well wasn't someone wondering why I was being generous with the IP :V
-
Five days, huh.
Well, for the mistress, I can most certainly try.
Once I find my camera that is.
-
MY LOYALTY LIES ELSEWHERE FROM THE SDM, OR ANYWHERE IN GENSOKYO AS I AM NOT A REAL TOUHOU FAN (blame Dormio for my presence here, and Helepolis for my IP).
SO DO YOUR WORST, SDM. I WILL BE DEFIANT TO THE MISTRESS AND HER LOYAL SERVANTS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, EXTREMELY LAZY ABOUT THIS.
In other news, Dormio is not invited to my funeral. Everyone else is, however, invited.

It doesn't matter. I've already rewritten your will. AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT BACK.
*Dormio goes back to searching for the camera*
-
Lol good thing i didnt help with dots promo :V
-
Rawr is uninvited from my funeral unless he can complete NotD:AM solo on Nightmare mode (and without Single player mode WC3 cheats).
There shall be air conditioning at my funeral, as well as free internetz.
Don't worry Dormio, I shall be there in spirit to see your wedding.

SWAT:AM is for people who can't handle ammo. Too easy until you get Extinction or Nightmare going.

Also inb4 remi with beard :trollface:

What auspicious timing!
It is time to plot my nefarious GANGSIGNS routine!
-
/me chills outside at the gate with Meiling
-
I'll be monitoring other challenges to see if it's appropriate to join in the fun and show my allegance for the other members of the Mansion
or any character other than Remi.
/me chills outside at the gate with Meiling
Mind if I join you? I have tea.
-
Submitted my entry, though I'm probably doing it wrong and missed the point entirely.
Wonder what the next mission will be.
-
Submitted my entry. Thanks to those who helped out in my decision! ^_^
-
After fiddling around with GIMP for more than an hour without achieving any of the results I had planned to, I thought to hell with it and just posted what I got. :fail:
Now, is this challenge going to be tournament-elimination-style, or will the performance on all single objectives be calculated together at the end to decide the winners?
-
Oh, so it seems people are going to get their heads chopped off? I wanna watch. Mwuahahaha, bloodshed.
-
Wait, I just noticed something:
Deadline:
Tuesday 23:59 (GMT+1) 9 February 2011
I am not sure what, but there is something no right with this... :/

tuesday is the 8th isn't it
-
oh wow your right. I didn't even notice =/
-
Come to think of it:
You will respect any EoSD characters. (i.e: China, Pad jokes, making fun of Cirno/Patchouli/Koakuma etc. is forbidden).
Does that include Rin Satsuki?
-
Rin Satsuki not existing isn't a joke but a fact.
-

Ask Hele. Since she isn't in DotS, she doesn't count, probably.

Both. No submissions == getting gungnired.

/me slams head into wall.
It is still Tuesday though, the deadline. orz
Come to think of it:Does that include Rin Satsuki?
Leaving aside the canon/code thing bla bla around it. Cannot respect something what isn't there in the games. So no.
-
As an ex-IP I was planning on participating in this to show my continued support of My Lady, but have to admit I am unable to for a very good reason. As it is well known, imitation is one of the most sincere forms of flattery, but in my case, any attempt of me doing so would turn so horrendous that it could only be called a mockery, and that is one thing I do not want to do to My Lady. And to err on the side of caution, I would ask forgiveness of Mistress, and Miss Izayoi for my incompetence at this task.
-
orz Well I put in an entry, because Pesco bribed me to do so :V
I have the feeling I'm going to get horribly skewered.
-
I gave you a pick and you didnt use it :/. Well i still have it if any ip needs one
-
My Lady, I would like to apologise for what can only be described as a vulgar entry sent in on my part. Allow me, if you will, to offer an explanation for my rudeness.
The piece is a parody, for truly no mere human [especially not a vile, putrid man] can hope to match my Lady's brilliance. An attempt to do so produces...what you have been sent in private.
Now that that's been explained, I will be off to help Lady Patchouli sorting the library. I'm sure there are books there on the subject of parody that will further explain me and um my lady why are you pulling out the gungnir please put that back we can talk this over my lady my lady my ladAAAAAAAAAAGHKKGHL

Yeah, fuck Remilia.
That is all.

I was 13 minutes late, but I still submitted. Pure, concentrated genius takes time. :V

Submissions for mission 1 were closed 36 minutes ago.

I am very interested in how other people's entries are gonna look, as well as in what the next challange is going to be.
So am I seeing correctly, about half of the competition is out already?

I'm sorry but the Mistress' and Miss Izayoi's obsession with 90s manga has little to do with the elegant poses they choose to demonstrate. Please apologize.
-
My heart and soul (lol us Japanese have hearts and souls? :3) was poured into this mission, for the Mistress and Miss Izayoi, despite my allegiance not being to the Scarlet Devil Mansion! Such a petty manga and will not spoil their charismatic image! EVER!

Aw, Did I strike a nerve? Oh well, if you need me I'll be eating my popcorn watching you suffer.

Text: Required image and accompanying few lines: The question every maid always has on her mind is: How could any being be as graceful and charismatic as our beloved Lady Scarlet?
Now, I was the first of us to attempt a scientific analysis of this mesmerizing phenomenon. My research is far from conclusive, but I think I have established a few theories.
Firstly, imitating The Mistress's characteristic elegant pose does not automatically release toxic red bromine gas, as I would have assumed. This also means that my precautions were largely unjustified. Secondly, although I could of course never hope to achieve beauty anywhere close to that of our Mistress, one cannot deny her pose's universal charisma-amplifying properties, even in protective gear.
It seems I will have to investigate this phenomenon even further...

Lady Arashi, Sir Purvis & Gentleman Sapz.
Miss Arashi is known for her charismatic speeches, artistic works and has a wonderful taste for fashion. Her smooth appearance makes any boy falter. A truly respected guest.
Sir Purvis. His footsteps tell a thousand words. His words tell even more words. Charisma is dropping with buckets. Another truly respected guest.
Sir Sapz is known to be fast, hard working. He has trained a lot of idiots trying to achieve the same comfortable charismatic speech style. Sapz has thousands of followers, they look like the daltons but infact they are hard working bee youkais. Do not mess with this person, otherwise he will land with his UFO on your house.
Enough introduction! They have reviewed your attempts to spread the Charismatic Pose.

Here we see a rare group photo of Flandre and Remilia together. These instances are because Flandre is rather hard on the cameras; it's the flash what does it. As we can see, though, Remilia really isn't feeling it in this one, the charisma is more like a weak gang sign. But the expression is quite consistent.

Look at this Mafia pimp, all dolled up in a pinstripe shirt and flashing gang signs. Remilia's takin' it to the streets. And lookit that meganekko business going on. Its a shame, though, that she didn't get all the icing off her wings after Flandre blew up that cake.

Here we see Remilia hard at work on her next project. Notice the protective measures she's taken against the possibility of working well into the morning. Her hat, one notices, barely makes a dent in her protective coverings. Truly, we see charisma is in the person and not the ornaments.

Even when the kitchen is on fire, there is time for Charisma. Despite the choke smoke and possible fumes from the cleaning chemicals under the sink, we can see there is not much time left before the whole thing is a loss and the mansion itself is burning out of control. But still, there is charisma. But there needs to be a fire extinguisher as well.

The eternal struggle, Mistress vs Tea. Like an eternal wheel. Always spinning. One chasing the other. Like the moon and the stars. Tome and Jerry. A dog and the car. Such mysteries of the universe. Try and understand them, but can you? Nope, they're mysteries.

Okay, this is really cool. Lots of artistic points here, the effect you've managed with this is really awesome, I can hardly tell where the original photo starts and ends. Very accurate, badass background, and charisma + for the cool expression and red eyes.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. So charismatic! So mysterious! SO TERRIFYING. I was somehow unsurprised to see Iryan taking the scientific approach. :V I quite enjoyed the little report, too.
Negative artistic bonus for the... whatever the hell you're wearing on your head (though I approve of the safety glasses being worn anyway on general principle), and charisma maxed out for making me crack up.

While you didn't fulfil the requirements, this is... quite an interesting submission. Honestly, I have no idea what's going on here. The dudes in the back look like badasses, though.

Awesome submissions, people! These were really fun to look at. I found K4u's in particular was really impressive, and Iryan's was really hilarious. :V
The princesses whom's fate got decided.
Idiot Princess Tapsa. Vandalism is considered a crime. Not only you have caused trouble inside the mansion, you have also defiled the mistress and as a result you got gungnired while doing so. You should be honoured you got killed by her own hands, as the Mistress does not quickly kill off her maidens. Your corpse will be collected by Kaenbyo Nya disposal inc. Do not worry, I am sure Komachi can help you ferry over the Sanzu River.
Idiot Princess DormioErgosum. The charismatic pose is not visible, at all. For this ignorance you shall suffer from a very slow and painful death.
Idiot Princess Dular. At first glance, we were surprised by the POV technique being used. However, your following up picture almost caused a "Red the Nightless" inside the mansion, which is very dangerous. We could barely calm down the Mistress.
The mistress has decided the following about your fate:
(http://i51.tinypic.com/2iu5q28.jpg)
Idiot Princess Drake. You ignored the direct command from the SDM officers and will be exiled from the mansion. Though because of your good intentions, you will be only stripped and not killed. Please make sure you find a place at the Myoren temple quickly.

Idiot Princess cranialCrustacean. You too will be exiled from the mansion for ignoring the deadlines. Your work did not get reviewed because you were late. May Reimu protect you for being lazy when you wander around near the Nameless Hill.

Be sure to give the Mistress my gratitute for sparing me from death, however I am not certain how I will continue to live without being at Milady's side with pin and needle in hand!
also here's the original text because hele didn't use it
Dearest Milady...
Over the past week, as your faithful modiste and tailor, I have toiled over hand and needle in order to provide you with a new hat worthy of your grace, after your scuffle with the young mistress left your previous in tatters. I am aware that I have not been able to provide your new hat before last night's gala; and I am truly sorry. Regardless, the black and red satin dress I crafted looked positively splendid on Milady's fine figure and I hope you were as pleased with it as I was. But please know that the only reason I was late in delivery, was so that I could make certain your new hat was in the most excellent condition before presenting it to you; I'm sure you know by now that I take a firmer priority over quality than I do vitesse, Milady. I wish to not make excuses, if my tardiness is deemed absolutely inexcusable, I will accept my punishment dutifully. But I digress we need not get too deep into apologies.
Continuing with your nouvelle ch?peau, it has been woven with the finest silk available on the market, freshly created by Milady's underground spider friend. I took the opportunity to use myself as a simple model to display the hat, but of course it does not fit on my head, as it was made specifically to fit your youthful t?te! If I look silly wearing it in comparison to when you would fit it neatly and snugly on your head, please mock me as you feel appropriate. I admit I felt quite ridiculous wearing something so unfit for me in both size and class.
Without further ado, I present to you your new coronet.

orz I knew I was forgetting something.

I found tapsa's pictures to be the best, actually. Which is why I replaced him with a decoy.
So that I could kill him myself with a slow and painful death. Now he doesnt get the "honor" of dieing by that vampires hand, so now he wont R.I.P. Win-Win. :4
-
Yay, go me.
I somehow survived.
It's funny, I was planning on editting the picture, but decided against it for no real reason.
Fortunate, as the very next day after I submitted my entry, I lost my internet connection the very next day until the first phase was over.
Perhaps this, too, is part of the Mistress' fate?

Forgive me for my haphazardly done entry.
I had an exam in 2 days at the time, I was severely sick, I had already stashed away my costume moments after I had received advice on how to boost up the charisma quotient, and the challenge was generally really badly timed for this pathetic servant.
Hopefully I have more time to do the next Mission.
EDIT: I'm also putting up my own IM title up for grabs in another thread! If my IM gets usurped half way through the challenge, I am still taking part in this thing because I have already started, and of my devotion to the Great Mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Ho!

Attention all Idiot Maidens and remaining Princesses. As you might have noticed, some of your colleagues have disappeared to a 'better' place. I am happy to announce to you that the Mistress was pleased about the successful propa-- eh, spreading the positive word about the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
But this alone is not enough. In honour of the Mistress, we will organize a special party at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Some preparations are already being made such as delivering invitations and buying supplies. Your next miss--
** Suddenly the door of the staff room opens, revealing a quite upset and exhausted Lady Patchouli **
Helepolis: "Ah... Lady Patchouli? What seems to be the matter?"
| (http://i51.tinypic.com/5ceerp.png) | "Mukyu, that annoying cheeky black and white witch is raiding our supplies for the party. Koakuma managed to defend part of the supplies, but at this rate there won't be anything left. Also I am getting extremely annoyed. Helepolis! Deal with it, fast!" |
Helepolis: "! . . . Understood Lady Patchouli."
Mission 2 - Catch a Witch
Description: Idiot Princesses and Maidens, as you heard there seem to be an incident. Our Mansion party is in great danger as Kirisame Marisa keeps raiding the mansion to steal our supplies and gifts. We cannot allow this thieving witch to rampage freely. (Though she is an invited guest for the party). The Mistress is looking forward to this party and we cannot allow to cancel it because some cheeky witch thinks she can do what she wants. I am counting on you.
Objectives: Your next mission is to design a trap mechanism inside the SDM to capture Kirisame Marisa. Draw, construct or present it in any form you like. Explain the mechanism for the trap, the requirements and how it results in a sure success! Keep in mind, there are a few important things you should consider.
- You cannot request for Lady Patchouli's help (like her magical aid etc). She is annoyed and it isn't a good to act as if you are unable to solve this by yourself.
- You cannot request aid from Koakuma, she is too busy with the library.
- Physical damage to the surroundings should be kept at minimum.
- NO fighting in the Library, else you will be Royal Flared into dust.
- You cannot kill Marisa or severely hurt her. Lady Patchouli insists she should be somewhat healthy.
- Tasteless trap mechanisms will lead to being Royal Flared
Submission: PM your link to the trap mechanism (picture, presentation, video etc). Make sure the link is accessible.
Deadline: 23:59 GMT+1 Wednesday 16 February 2011
Good luck, Idiot Princesses and Maidens.

The Library is now closed as the Scarlet Devil Mansion prepares for night life.
Judges have been informed and they will be studying together with Lady Patchouli on which traps are most effective to capture the black and white. The idiot princesses and maidens may return to their rooms or enjoy the night life in the mansion.
Please beware of Lady Flandre, as today is "Kyu tag" in the mansion. Play along at your own risk.

Catch a Witch - Results

Helepolis: "Ah, Lady Patchouli. My deepest apologies. Things happened and s-"
Lady Patchouli: "Cut the excuses and show me the results. Now."
Helepolis: "A-Ah, r-r-right away Lady Patchouli."
Submissions:
To capture the black white, we have to make use of her weaknesses, which from what I can tell are:
1. Her kleptomaniac tendencies.
2. Her desire to be flashy.
Thirdly, I know from a reliable source that she really, really likes manjuu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manj%C5%AB).
These flaws make her susceptible to this beautiful trap I divised:
(http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae223/Iryanmadayana/trap7.png)
It works like this:
The manjuu are placed on a table close to the entry of both the food supply and the library. If someone comes close to the table, they will walk into a very fine thread (marked red in the picture) and thus pull it lightly. The force is then redirected by the hooks so that it pulls on the heavy weight which rests undisturbed up above. This weight will then start to move and fall down, thereby ripping the red thread and pull the similarly fine but much more robust green thread. This will cause the net below the table with the manjuu to grapply whoever is standing next to it and capture them.
Now, I do not expect this trap alone to work against the black white. In fact, it being somewhat obvious and avoidable is key to our success! You see, if there was simply a plate of manjuu standing around, with no visible trap inside, she would probably suspect it was a trap and ignore it. Afterall, the supply is right next to her. However, if the trap is both noticeable and avoidable, she will be even more tempted to get the manjuu, just to show us how great a thief she is. It also makes it more likely for her to eat them directly without suspecting a second trap, which is why my plan is going to work:
The manjuu will not be ordinary manjuu. I paid a visit to the bamboo forest and got us this little vial filled with a sleeping drug from Dr. Yagokoro!
(http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae223/Iryanmadayana/trap2.png)
If we mix this in the filling of the manjuu, the black white will fall asleep within a couple of minutes and won't awake for several hours, enough time of us to get a hold of her and prevent her from stealing anymore of our supplies!
What do you think, Sir?
Lady Patchouli, as you are aware, Marisa Kirisame has become an increasingly prevalent problem in the library, filching books and making off with them, never to return them to their proper place. As such, I propose the following solution:
Step 1: By every window in the library, two catapults will be stationed, one on either side. These catapults are placed this way so that Marisa will not seem them on her way in. Also, they are loaded with netting which, as you know, is intended to entangle whatever is caught in it. The catapults' firing mechanisms will be connected to the window frame with rope.
Step 2: When Marisa inevitably breaks a window upon entry, the frame will be pushed inward. As it moves, it will tug on the ropes and activate the firing mechanisms of both catapults, causing them to both fling their nets at Marisa.
Step 3: If all goes as it should, Marisa will be hopelessly entangled in the nets, unable to reach her Hakkero or anything else that might help her escape.
Here is a diagram of the setup, if you would like a visual aid. I apologize in advance for my poor artistic skills: http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4064/mission2.png (http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4064/mission2.png)
(because Imageshack's been weird lately, try this (http://img151.imageshack.us/i/mission2.png/) if the above doesn't work)
My suggestion would be to place the catapults as close to the window as possible for maximum efficiency, but still far enough away so that Marisa cannot see them as she approaches. I hope this idea pleases you, Lady Patchouli, and I look forward to your critique.
I... don't know what happened.
Things weren't meant to turn out this way damn it.
Why the hell did I even go through with an idea conceived at around 2AM anyway?
This was originally meant to be a lot longer, but I had nowhere near enough time to add more stuff in.
Also lack of pictures, again due to time issues.

TRUE END
Patchouli 「What the hell does this have to do with catching Marisa?」
Dormio 「We could get Marisa to read this and tie her up while she's distracted or something.」
Patchouli 「...」
Patchouli 「You're an idiot.」
Dormio 「Come on, it can't fail!」
Patchouli 「Couldn't you at least use one of the ideas in this book?」
I shrug.
My Lady, I have been called upon to construct a trap to capture the black-white witch currently stalking your libraries. As a librarian myself, I understand the frustration of having your life?s work pilfered from under your nose, and thus I will eagerly aid you in this endeavor.
However, I have heard stories of other entrants producing blueprints that could effectively fill a book in order to construct this device. Personally, while I appreciate the mistress?s need for elegance, I find an ounce of guile is worth a gallon of mechanical know-how. Thus, my plan is to lay a trap that is somewhat more cunning, if not as masterfully constructed as other entrants.
Others may consider the idea of fake floors, fake walls, fake ceilings, all to hide their traps in. My question is this - why not fake books? Or rather, a single fake book, to be placed among the rest. This book is my trap.
Now, I can already hear you asking. ?But Rou, that?s madness! There are thousands of books in Patchouli?s library! How are you supposed to believe Marisa will steal this one??
That?s an excellent question, and one that I have an answer for. See, while Marisa may be a highly powerful magician, she is also human. Because she?s human, she?s mortal, and that fact scares her considerably. Hence, if she were to find some way to avoid that fate, I?m willing to believe she would jump at it.
Hence, the trap shall be the fictional tome ?The Secret of Eternal Life?, by the acclaimed Western author Nicholas Flamel. He was the supposed creator of the Philosopher?s Stone, thus explaining why Patchouli has a book about him and selling its credibility even further. Perhaps my method is cruel, but it should serve as a fitting lesson for her greed nonetheless.
Now, onto the book itself. The cover is leathery, ornate, with the title blurred just enough to look old but not enough to be illegible. It will be in old French, but a hastily written translation on the cover and spine should be enough to attract Marisa?s attention, and she will no doubt grab at the book.
When she does, the pressure she places on the cover will squeeze the pages together slightly, allowing an internal contact between two pages to connect and completing a circuit. Just below the cover of the book, electrical wires are set, and when this circuit is complete electricity will run through these unless it finds a path of less resistance - and it will, in Marisa, as the cover is deliberately as thin as possible. It will be enough to knock Kirisame unconscious, but not kill her, and leave Lady Patchouli with plenty of time to reclaim whatever books the witch intended to steal and decide on a fitting punishment.
As Einstein once said, ?Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler than that?. This should serve as a sufficient anti-witch ward, without the need for seventy pages of notes.
/me bows.
This is my trap to set for Marisa. (http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/9103/librarytrap.png) It's called Dimension Door.
It's use with SCIENCE.
Good Day,
My name is Reddyne and I am currently employed as an Associate Research & Development Engineer by Kappa Engineering. We recently received a commission from Lady Patchouli Knowledge for the design, construction, and installation of a system to be used for capturing unwanted intruders inside her place of residence, the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The design and testing phases of this project have been completed and the system is ready for installation. I shall be using this report to describe the method with which the device works. I have also provided several figures which I will reference in the following text in order to provide graphical representations of the system and its operation. These figures may be accessed here: Figure 1 (http://img193.imageshack.us/f/figure1y.jpg/), Figure 2 (http://img517.imageshack.us/f/figure2b.jpg/), Figure 3 (http://img696.imageshack.us/f/figure3.jpg/), Figure 4 (http://img84.imageshack.us/f/figure4.jpg/), Figure 5 (http://img825.imageshack.us/f/figure5.jpg/). Further details into operation of this system including written instructions and training regarding system use will be provided upon installation and upon later requests thereafter.
A single system is all that would be needed to guard any major hallway from any unwanted ordinary magicians (Fig. 1). Due to the design and appearance of the device, it is easy to conceal. The archlike structure is quite similar to that of supports found throughout buildings with designs similar to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The system's exterior color and texture is designed to match its halls. Therefore, it would require an exceedingly keen eye even for those searching for such a trap to be able to discover it, let alone be permitted the time to discover its method of operation.
Upon installation, the system can be activated to guard against any potentially uninvited guest and capture them with minimal harm to their person. The system can easily be deactivated for a brief period of time or shut down completely via alphanumeric code and/or keycard, depending on the user's preference. Depending on two different scenarios, the system will automatically utilize two different methods with which to ensnare an uninvited guest.
Detection of a potential intruder begins with a pair of motion detectors hidden in the guarded area. Both motion detectors are quite small and easily camouflaged like the archway. The first is placed just before the system's arch structure. This detector will detect the speed of the intruder, and will activate the system at high velocities greater than normal human movement speeds. In the event that the intruder is moving more slowly, this first motion detector will serve to provide information for the second detector. This second detector will activate the system upon detecting an intruder regardless of speed. Upon activation of the system, a series of steps will occur involving the deployment and gathering of a net, resulting in the capture of the intruder. When idle, this net is easily concealed inside the structure (Fig. 2B, 2C).
In the first scenario, the intruder will be traveling at regular human speeds i.e. walking or running. The first sensor activates the second sensor, then the second sensor detects the intruder under the archway (Fig. 3A). The detection causes the bottom pins to be fired downward, thus deploying the net (Fig. 3B). As the bottom pins reach the base of the archway, the pins flip a lever which prevents them from returning upwards (Fig. 2D - 2F). Padding also absorbs much of the momentum of each pin, ensuring that the pin will only continue in the desired direction. This lever also activates the next firing mechanism. The bottom pins are then shot horizontally along the bottom of the floor to the far side of the archway, tripping up the intruder in the process (Fig. 3C). Again, the pins flip a lever which prevent the pins from bouncing back while simultaneously activating the next firing mechanism. After the bottom pins are locked, they are then shot upward and locked into place a third time (Fig. 3D). Next, the top pins are fired back toward the bottom pins (Fig. 3E). Finally, all four pins are shot towards the center of the arch where they are locked into place, capturing the intruder and leaving her dangling at around eye level (Fig. 3F).
In the second scenario, the uninvited guest is traveling far faster than a normal human could travel. This includes even very rapid flying speeds. The first sensor once again picks up the unwanted intruder, this time measuring her speed as being far higher than the first scenario. In this instance, the system will deploy the net immediately by firing the bottom pins in order to deploy the net as previously described (Fig. 5A, 5B). However, the velocity of the intruder will most likely be high enough that she crashes into the net while airborne. Regardless, the system will continue to capture the intruder as described in the first scenario.
It may be possible for the intruder to travel at a speed such that the momentum of the intruder is too great for the force applied to the bottom pins after deployment to overcome (Fig. 5C). Should this occur, the pressure applied to the base of the structure will cause the bottom pins to flip a release lever at the base of the structure. After the tension caused by the intruder speeding into the net has decreased to a certain amount, the lock on the bottom pins for vertical movement will be released, and the bottom pins will instead be shot back into their original positions using the same type of mechanism described previously, this time with the net still deployed (Fig. 4D - 4F, 5E). Once the bottom pins have been returned to their starting positions, both the top and bottom pins will be shot towards the middle of the beam and locked into place, once again ensuring that the intruder is captured until release (Fig. 5F).
Regardless of which scenario occurs, a chime will sounded upon the system's activation. The sound will be loud and clear enough to be heard throughout the mansion under normal noise levels. Not to mention that the ruckus raised by the captured party's incessant whining and futile attempts to escape will be clear as day. In addition, the system will auto-reset after a 12 hour period in the event that the all individuals in the mansion are simultaneously too lazy to remove the unwanted intruder.
This is our current design which has 100% success rate on witless fairies willing test 'dummies' subjects, all of whom could easily walk away upon their release. The materials used in the design of this system are readily available from our suppliers, installation and setup is simple, and the system requires very little in the way of maintenance, so the cost for each individual system is relatively low. The net itself is designed to be extraordinarily flexible, resilient, and resistant to magic. The point at which the netting is attached to the pins is also quite strong, ensuring that the net will not break free. Both scenarios ensure capture pending speeds and reaction times well beyond superhuman level. Considering that the original request stated that the system was meant to keep out an unwanted human intruder, the system's capabilities are more than enough for the intended target.
This system fulfills all of the original requirements proposed by Lady Knowledge and we are currently awaiting a convenient time with which to install our system. Currently, one system has been requested, though additional systems for guarding additional areas may be purchased upon request. Please wait warmly for improvements on our current design such as a battery-based electric current in the netting used to stun the potential victim and other similar additions and refinements. Please contact me at your earliest convenience for an installation time. Also, I would be happy to answer any additional questions regarding our design.
Regards,
Reddyne
P.S.: Just be glad we didn't go all Rube Goldberg up ins.
The Judgement
Helepolis: "Lady Patchouli, I have found three specialized people who are very knowledgeable about these submissions. Please allow me to also inform you about their personalities and judgements."
(http://i53.tinypic.com/28ahve0.png) (http://i52.tinypic.com/2rqmz2d.png) (http://i51.tinypic.com/f4e992.png)
Sir Sakana -- Lady Fate -- Mr. T.
Sir Sakana - Has a lot of knowledge of maintaining libraries and specialised in automatic defences. Sir Sakana successfully runs his own business and knows the deal with supplies, construction and operations. I definitely advice to have an afternoon cup of tea with him to discuss further details.
Mr. T. Pesco - His surname is censored because he requested to remain anonymous for any publicity. Rumours say it is "Trollwi". Finding this person caused me to die a few times to his traps. I lost a few (http://i52.tinypic.com/rlxpjl.png) doing so, I hope you won't mind Miss Patchouli. Everything for the sake of the Mistress and her friends. Mr. T. can be hired for creating and executing deadly traps. But he disappeared quickly after the judgement.
Prof. Dr. Lady Fate - Took me a lot of effort to find this person. She has studied the phenomenon of traps and published many scientific papers, books regarding this subject. I am sure she would be highly interested in a cup of tea while discussing your material in the library.
Helepolis "Ah ! I am sure you have all the time to talk with them Miss Patchouli. Here are their results."
The following judgement criteria was used on a scale from 1 to 10.
- Effectiveness - How effective is the trap? Is it fast ? slow ?
- Efficiency - How much effort does it take, material requirements, set up time. (1 means takes A LOT of effort to build, 10 means it is easy with common material. )
- Mukyu - Does the trap cause damage (see rule about damage kept at minimum). (1 means shit exploded everything destroyed 10 means super intact etc)

Iryan
Effectiveness: Your obvious trap to tempt the ego of the thief would only work if it was someone stupid like that ice fairy or the kitsune's shikigami. Marisa wille very likely just fly above the trap and pick up the manjuu, thus not trigger it at all.
I'll give you a bit of slack and say perhaps it all works and Marisa is in the net. How is the net actually keeping her secured?
Efficiency: You want a fine thread with enough tensile strength to pull a heavy weight. Normal thread that can do that must be very thick. Or else you want to use enchanted threads. Now assuming you have magic threads, they might take a while to make, depending how much magic they are. Just setting up the perimeter of your trap is enough trouble.
The SDM does not stock Japanese sweets. Those vampires like their western cakes. Now you could get manjuu from the human village and possibly get your custom drugs delivered too whenever useless-bunny goes to peddle the wares. both of these things take time as they are essentially custom order materials.
Mukyu: Falling weights are going to definitely crack a few tiles. Some idiot maid will probably trip it and injure herself, not that I care, Eientei should get a bit more medical aid inusrance packages sold that way.
Now the big problem is that you're using Eirin's shady new drug. That shit has NOT been fully tested. And you know, we kinda don't have humans to test it on. What works as advertised for youkai, lunarians or rabbits doesn't work the same for humans.

Effectiveness: The windows open inwards, by force or design, the nets capture the windows instead of witch. What a noob mistake. Oh and Marisa makes her own entrances on occaission too.
Efficiency: You want catapults set up by EVERY window? Forget it.
Mukyu: Well it doesn't hurt any of the infrastructure. Assuming that breaking the windows is part of Marisa's doing, I can give you credit for this one.
0 - 0 - 10
===================================================================================
Dormio
Effectiveness: Marisa doesn't read the stuff she takes while on the job. She'll just drop this into her bag and carry on.
Efficiency: What trap?
Mukyu: I think your plan is just going to entice her to come again. The collateral damage counts against you.
0 - 0 - 5
===================================================================================
Roukan
Effectiveness: "Out of the 14 tiles in his hand, how did you know he would deal the 2-pin?"
Marisa may be human, but she also respects her mortality. That's why she's always telling the hikki to get the books when she dies. She's far more interested in collectables. Things of value that she can play with during her lifetime. The trap gambles on probability and unless you paid me some really good money, you ain't so lucky to spring it.
Efficiency: I never knew Gensokyo had electricity :V. Okay seriously though. Do you plan to hook up Miss Fever to the bookshelves? I don't think it works like that. Second issue, who's going to do all the work to make a realistic looking book? Most-valued-customer-of-asthma-medication certainly isn't doing it. does her Equally-useless-as-Reisen assistant even know French? And fat chance of getting the vamp brat to even write someone else's name.
Mukyu: If you can guarantee just enough surge power to knock her out but not kill her, I suppose it's enough of an opening to further secure Marisa while recovery operations are carried out. But I think wiring up the shelves just for this is still going to get a few frowns.
7 - 3 - 8

TranceHime
Effectiveness: I think we can have faith in the reliability of the kappa's designs. But we also know that her Optic camoflauge system is flawed, as in it doesn't work at all. There's not enough detail in your plan for me to determine effectiveness.
Efficiency: Is this thing a one-shot or will it keep pulling people into itself? With a name like 'Dimension Door', I'm willing to bet there'll be some Yukari fooling around if you know what I mean.
Mukyu: I'm a bit wary of using such a high tech thing in the vicinity of concentrated magic. If something could go wrong, the effects can be pretty epic (since I'll be watching from far, far away).
4 - 6 - 5
===================================================================================
Reddyne
Effectiveness: What works on small fry doesn't necessarily work on Marisa. If it had been tested on, say Miss Emo-phoenix, and it worked, then you've proven reliability.
Efficiency: It's a well thought out system with all its design points. The setup time may take a while though.
Mukyu: I think the possible damage to the Library may happen if Marisa struggles hard enough trying to break out. Capturing but not pacifying her will likely give us a hole in the walls or roof.

Here we go. JUDGEMENTO!
Iryan
The food-trap, a classic amongst classics, I see. And a double-layered trap at that, to ensure capture. The intruder is captured without harm, and the library isn't damaged either, that's good. Whether Miss Sakuya has the supplies for manjuu in the kitchen, as the Mistress prefers western food, is doubtful though, shopping for materials may be required.
However, there are some flaws: For one, the mysterious source that states that the Black-White likes manjuu is not given. We cannot resort to a trap that works on a potentially false assumption, it would be a waste of Lady Patchouli's ressources. And even then, what guarantees us that she will eat the manjuu on the spot and not just take them with her to eat later? And it should be noted that the drug is described to work ?within a few minutes?. Marisa is known to be fast, if she discovers the manjuu only at the end of her raid and eats them right before escaping there is a chance she will have left the mansion by the time the drug takes effect.
I will have to deduct some points for the unproven assumption, however if we see the assumption as true then this trap seems very effective. Especially since it puts the intruder to sleep it will not disturb the calm and peace of the library, Lady Patchouli values that very much.
Effectiveness - 7 (This is taking into account the net-trap. The manjuu on their own would be around 5 because of the several minutes of delay before they take effect)
Efficiency - 8
Mukyu - 10

Catapults all over the library? This appears to be a rather aggressive and uncultured trap. What I like about this trap is that it rules out the chance of an innocent victim activating it. After all, even if someone else got caught in it, if they entered through the window they could not be up to any good.
On the downside it relies on Marisa entering through the windows. What if she were to just fight her way through the mansion?
This is only one of the problems with this trap. Making place for all those catapults and building them in the first place will require a lot of work. Also if the net catches the Black-White while in full flight, there is a danger of her crashing into the interior of the library which may hurt her as well as cause a chaos.
Those flaws cannot be ignored, however it will undeniably catch the Black-White should the enter through the window and take her out of comission.
Lastly, there will be a half-point-deduction for lack of confidence. The Scarlet Devil Mansion cannot accept a trap-plan that includes the words ?If all goes as it should?. If you do not have confidence in your plan, how can we?

-0,5 points for lack of confidence
Dormio
Oh man, a CYOA story? If this was the Weekly Writing Challenge you would probably have won with this, but since we have to judge everyone equally I will at most be able to give you a little bonus for the effort put into this entry. What matters most is the actual trap, so let's look for that.
It seems the trap that is suppposed to work is the one in the Normal End. What we know about the trap is that it is apparently made from strings, that they are deployed in an area around a book Marisa wants to steal, and that pulling the master string will entangle Marisa in some way so she can't move. Seemingly there will be a lot of strings.
The trap carries little risk for the victim and the surrounding, though I will have to take into account that such a trap could potentially strangle the target, and I have my doubts Lady Patchouli would like a dead witch in the library. A flaw is that the trap will make it impossible for anyone to move freely throughout the library until Marisa has appeared, lest they want to get caught in the strings. The information about which books Marisa steals comes from Patchouli, this might violate the ?No help from Patchouli? rule. However, if deployed correctly, the trap can be expected to work well and catch the witch without a chance for escape. Its effectiveness suffers from the fact that it needs to be manually activated though, requiring someone to hide in the library at all times and wait for Marisa to arrive.
Effectiveness - 5
Efficiency - 7
Mukyu - 9
+1 point for effort
Roukan
A trap that does not require any fancy big mechanisms to be set up but works by concealing the actual trap amongst the books in the library. A good concept to start with, a cunning trap for a cunning intruder. A fake-book that activates on touch and stuns the target does not cause any damage to the library and barely any damage to the intruder. The witch will be able to take a good shock.
However the plan lacks in some crucial details. First of all, where is that technology you speak of supposed to come from? We surely cannot shrink Miss Iku and put her into the book, though she possesses the appropriate elemental attribute. Electrical wires are not something common to Gensokyo, so we would need to ask either the kappa or Miss Yukari for help. Putting the mechanism into the book so it will really activate at the slightest touch seems to be a delicious matter on its own, surely nothing we can let the fairy-maids handle. We will require specialists here, and you have not given us any hints who they may be, thus making constructing the trap complicated. And once we have the book, it would be necessary to spread around the word about it to catch Marisa's interest. A way to do that is not proposed either, meaning Lady Patchouli will have to waste her time to think it up.
So while this trap is surely very effective, setting up the trap itself will need quite some work.
(I am also not sure what to think about the fact that the trap is a blatant reference to a certain fictional work in the outside work, but it will not influence the judgement.)
Effectiveness - 10
Efficiency - 5
Mukyu - 9
TranceHime
If I understand this trap correctly it works with a conceiled magnetic area on the floor that will pull down anyone who passes over it and potentially stun them with electricity.
This trap can cover a wide area, this is certainly a benefit. The technology is supposed to be taken from the kappa, especially the camouflage. We shall rely on you to make contact with the kappa to have this supplied should we build the trap. The damage to the intruder also seems minimal.
This trap suffers from one main flaw: There is nothing to ensure that only Marisa would be caught in there. As we understand it anyone passing the trap becomes its victim. Also due to the magnetism technology not being explained further we have to assume that it will only work if the Black-White carries metallic objects with her. From our knowledge her normal attire does not contain metal, however this cannot be proven conclusively.
(PS: I am aware that Trance had a busy time and therefore had to rush his entry, however I can not take that into account for judging purposes)

Now this is a very well-designed trap, I must say. Taking into account a walking and flying intruder, being easy to conceal, yet large enough to cover a whole hallway. The main system seems to rely on no uncommon materials, which is a good thing. The sensors however seem to be rather technologically advanced, and I will have to assume that they may considerably raise the cost of the system as a whole. Even though Mylady possesses nearly infinite wealth, I will have take this into account.
It also has to be noted that this trap closes off a whole hallway and makes it impassable for everyone, as the trap will activate no matter who is detected by the sensors. If we installed the trap in the main hallway leading to the library noone could enter or leave the library for the time until the Black-White comes. We cannot reasonably expect Lady Patchouli to camp out in the library with supplies until that happens if no maid can reach the library. The second option would be to install a number of the systems throughout the library. If we want to keep all parts of the library accessable though, we will have to leave some passageways without traps, and there is a small chance Marisa could figure those out.
While very efficient in its workings, and without harm to the victim, this trap is hard to apply in a way that will be guaranteed to catch Marisa and Marisa only.

The trap was totally the True End. :V
Either way, it was a silly idea that I conceived whilst lacking sleep and shouldn't have gone through with.
Oh well, least I had some fun writing that.
EDIT: Also, I claim victory on the basis that I managed to receive ":V" as a score.
And that is clearly the best score.
-
That was fun. And I see I am far too nice with scoring stuff. (Just can't keep up with those other jerks :V )
-
I'm surprised that, considering the low scores I got, I'm only around 1.5 points behind in total.
-
How many :Vs to a :dwi:?

Kinda screwed up the quote thar TSO. >.>
Anyways, good job, but I did NOT see a trap using only a paper clip and a string. You could'va made a god damned nuke with that, but NOOOOOOOOO. If you dont mind me, I'll be kicking kitten in the face now kthx
-
Aww don't hurt my kitty friend. :ohdear:
I agree with the Dormio should have won statement for sheer effort. Type a little less. :V

Seconded.
...Hmm. Not doing too well compared to the others. Perhaps the third contest could change that...
-
Man, you guys are too passive with your traps.
If I was still in this contest you'd be seeing a draconian death trap with flamethrowers, chaos god ritual tables, chains, and time knives.
BV
-
I don't know why the part of the trap that is supposed to be obvious and easily avoidable being obvious and easily avoidable makes the trap less effective, but whatever, the trap still wouldn't have been that good and I still am third place overall. :derp:
-

The fact that it wasn't obvious which part of the trap did which didn't help :V
-
Uhhh, oops? Engineers gonna engineer. I do give props to Dormio for the mere size of that monster create-your-own-trap adventure novel. I mean, I got the free time for this stuff, but that? Wow.
The quips about my offering all make sense. I either ignored a flaw or just didn't want to think through it to add something different. I also wasn't explicit enough in some of my wording. Still, awaiting Challenge Numbah 3 so I might snipe from my perch again.
-
I'm disappointed no one used the other kind of trap :derp:
-
If you dont mind me, I'll be kicking kitten in the face now kthx
Learn your place kid. There's plenty more ready to come down on you for being a jerk to her.
In fact imma issue you a challenge right now. 1v1 DotS on Besthost, 10 kills deathmatch. Game will be in 6 hours from now. If you don't show up, you lose and get punished. :smug:
-
Oh man, I want to take that challenge up myself.
The joys of besthost.
-
PESCO I WILL TAKE THAT CHALLENGE ON!
Also Dormio's score of ":V" is win.

Um, You do know my computers graphics card is FRIED right? I cant play really any game, and isnt DotS some sorta warcraft 3 mod? I couldn't download that if I tried, would take about 2 days.
tl;dr Cant. Can I still kick kitten in the face though?

Attention all remaining IPs and IMs
After the little incident with the black and white, we decided to increase the overall defence of the Mansion as well. This should keep the thieves out until the party.
(http://i56.tinypic.com/vnjedw.jpg)
Speaking of the party, a very important preparation must be done. Normally, our lovely Librarian helper, Miss Koakuma would announce the start of the party and welcome the guests. However due to the previous incident, she has lost her and voice and can barely speak.
Miss Izayoi insists the welcome speech should be held. Else we all die. So without wasting any time, I will give the final mission briefing.
Final Mission - The Charismatic Speech
(http://i55.tinypic.com/eafqis.jpg)
Description:
A lot of Gensokyo citizens will be visiting the party. Many familiar faces and honoured guests such as Hakurei Reimu, Kazami Yuuka or Kirisame Marisa. You will be all behaving at your best and welcome these guests in a mannered way as well as boa- cough* saying positive words about the host of the party, our Mistress. This shouldn't be too hard for you. I trust, the remaining alive ones, that you have showed your loyalty to the Mansion.
Objectives:
Prepare a vocal speech to welcome the guests. Maximum limit of the speech: 1 minute. In your speech you must use the following words:
- Pad
- Stab
- Scarlet Devil Launcher
- Chi
- Charisma
- Books
Remember that any rudeness will lead to death. Don't forget to thank our Mistress and the rest for this glorious party!! You cannot ask for Charisma training from the Mistress. Good luck!
Submission:
PM me your submissions. WAV/MP3/OGG, basically any fileformat which can be listened with ease, uploaded on mediafire or any other possible location.
Deadline:
Monday 28 february 2011, 23:59 GMT+1
PS edit: To non-IPs/IMs: As seen with previous mission, feel free to submit if you want to join the contest for sheer fun. You will be most likely judged as well.
-
Out of curiosity, can contestants use those words as part of another word, such as padding or China?
-
Most definitely an interesting task to pursue...
-
Nope. I'm done intruding on you guys for this one.
-
Out of curiosity, can contestants use those words as part of another word, such as padding or China?
No, the words cannot be section of another word. They have to be treated as they are listed, with 'Scarlet Devil Launcher' being the exception here, which has to be used like that.
-
I'd like to join in for the lulz(I have this pretty sweet speech set up already), but M'lady's Gungir is still having a profound effect on my face. -I can't talk for 6 weeks-. You set this up so that I couldn't specifically join in didn't you D:
-
No, the words cannot be section of another word. They have to be treated as they are listed, with 'Scarlet Devil Launcher' being the exception here, which has to be used like that.
You saying it has to be used literally, or you saying it has to be used as part of another words?
Because I know what I'd rather do~.
-
The have to appear as clear, stand-alone words.
-
I should submit the rudest speech I can.
Then again, I'm eating chicken, and chicken > SDM Crew. So yeah, fuck them. :4
-
Prepare a vocal speech to welcome the guests.
This is going to be fun to try to attempt without a microphone.
-
Maybe you can filter it through one of those text-to-speech programs? If you don't mind sounding like an emotionless void that learned english from the internet.

Somehow I don't think this is what Hele had in mind, but if I can't find a microphone to use, I'll probably have to.
-
Wait, so I can't type one up?
Damn, where's my Miku... :V
And why a time limit. D:
I could've made all the judges angry again with an overly long entry.
Also, WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE TO CHALLENGE MY ENGLISH SKILLS?
HELE! DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST ME?
-
Wait, so I can't type one up?

You just have to talk really, really fast! :V
-
Just to clarify on the "Hele man, I got no microphone"
It says : "prepare vocal speech". --> Be creative if you don't have one :V But if you do have one, use it :[ (especially IPs/IMs >=3 ) Hope that explains bit more.
@Dormio , dwi :V
-
Oh, cool.
This is going to be fun >_>

@Dormio , dwi :V
Just because you know I've only been in Australia for four years.

1. Are we allowed to use the substantives in their plural forms?
2. Are we allowed to make up stuff about the program of the evening as long as it is plausible?

Plural forms are fine, just keep in mind you don't burn yourself :V
2. Are we allowed to make up stuff about the program of the evening as long as it is plausible?
Yes, imagination is always a good idea.
-
You know, originally, I was going to write something extremely long again.
And then shove it into UTAU, turn the pitch up way high, and make it recite something like 50 syllables a second.
Then I decided that pissing off the judges wasn't the best way to go about this and did a more normal speech.

I'm sorry, could you repeat that last sentence again? Not pissing others off? Where's the fun in that?
-
Well, when I listened to it myself, the first five seconds (which was almost a page of material) was already enough to drive me half insane.
So instead the judges can listen to my sexy lithp.

After the mission is over, upload it please? :3
-
You could also make a nice opening speech with total disregard to the words we are supposed to use and then make a seperate soundfile where you say the words contextless directly one after another. You then take the second soundfile, turn down the volume and stretch it out to the length of the regular speech.
Then overlay. :V
Also, I decided that Scarlet Devil Lawnchair would have been stretching the rules a little too much. :P

Alright, sent my entry.
It's simple, but less is more.

Don't worry Dormio, I'm sure you did well...maybe...I think....

Give the body here when your done.
They dont suffer enough from a single god damned spear, yaknow.

Mission 3, The Charismatic Speech - Results
IPs and IMs, I am happy to announce that nobody died during the speeches. With the previous party, someone said some rude things and well... below you can see the result captured on a photo.
(http://i55.tinypic.com/2ljtbg8.jpg)
Anyway, without letting the guests wait too much, the results!
Submission
- Iryan's submission (http://www.mediafire.com/?1f31hgv8y13ika6)
- Dormio's submission (http://www.mediafire.com/?j76t4tuzk3wb5bm)
- Trancehime's submission (http://tindeck.com/listen/uozg)
- Rdj's submission (http://www.mediafire.com/?5g63dm03bvs7zpd)
- Roukan's submission (speech by Iryan) (http://www.mediafire.com/?kfdk7zafkqa80v2)
The results are so charismatic, it needed to be done vocal as well! Please listen warmly to the winner. I will post the full text after a while.
[attach=1]
Full text + judgement details below.
Please read it warmly after listening to the above audio file :3
The three judges who have judged the submissions:
(http://i54.tinypic.com/330r5ls.png) (http://i55.tinypic.com/b4g9bp.png) (http://i52.tinypic.com/2l9i1j5.png)
Lady Arashi, Sir Purvis & Gentleman Sapz.
They have judged with the following criteria on a 0-10 scale:
- Charisma factor - Impression, attraction, charisma.
- Jaooooo factor - Missing word = -1. Any genius/cleverness was rewarded. Correct usage.
- Reimu factor - Can Reimu enjoy herself here? Is there enough food? Are there events? Creativity = rewarded, else standard 6 is given.
Word list was: Pad - Stab - Scarlet Devil Launcher - Chi - Charisma - Books
Iryan:
Charisma: Oh my, I'm being greeted by a warm and friendly Microsoft Sam! 8 Points
Jaooooo: No Chi that I could hear after two listens through. Otherwise, good woid use. 7 points
Reimu Factor: Not exceptional, but not bad. 6 Points.
21 Points overall.
Caedo:
Charimsa: Hmmm, this could use some more passion. Doesn't have the charm of Iryan's soothing monotone. Also, it's way way too quiet. 6 points.
Jaooooo: All the words are there, launching pad made me grin. Stabbed was a bit forced. 7 points.
Reimu: Meh. 6 points.
19 points overall.
Trancibald
Charisma: Well delivered, but welcoming? But you know what? I didn't have to download this one and put it on my playlist like the rest of these mooks forced me to. 9.5 Points
Jaooooo: No Chi that I could hear after four listens. Kinda a pause too. Was that a Sakuya insult? 6 points
Reimu Factor: Nonexceptional. 6 Points
21.5 points overall.
Rdj
Charisma: Kinda halting, but otherwise quite welcoming. It feels like the kinda place where you steal the silverware! 9 points
Jaooooo: Got all the words, but some were quite forced. 7 points
Reimu: Mmm, some events. 7 points.
23 points overall.
Roukan.
Charisma: This isn't welcoming at all! But Microsoft Iryan is soothing... 7.5 Points
Jaooooo: They're all there! Some clever uses. 7 Points
Reimu: Eh. 6 points
20.5 points overall.
Iryan
Charisma: 8+1/10. The accent is pretty excellent, and +1 for taking on someone else's speech, too!
Jaooooo: 7/10. Pretty standard, but I thought 'pad' and 'stab' were nicely done.
Reimu: 6/10.
Average: 7.333/10
Dormio
Charisma: 8/10. Very suave.
Jaooooo: 5/10. No pads? Perhaps an attempt at being tactful, but nevertheless, -1 point.
Reimu: 9/10. Trips to the moon, food, and charisma contests? Nice.
Hmm... you trod very close to the 'not thanking people' line, but I suppose it's implicit. No penalty from me.
Average: 7.333/10.
Trance
Charisma: 7/10. You sound very wary of your guests. Fair enough, I suppose. :V
Jaooooo: 6/10. All words used, good stuff.
Reimu: 6/10. Activities, eh? What kind of activities would they be?
Same story as Dormio. Treading veeeery close to the penalty line. It's a good thing I'm so lenient, eh?
Average: 6.333/10
rdj
Charisma: 9/10. Cool, collected, courteous.
Jaooooo: 10/10! The pad line made me grin, I must admit. Jaooooo maxed out!
Reimu: 9/10 There does seem to be a lot going on. A good time had by everyone, indeed.
Average: 9.333/10.
Roukan
Charisma: 9/10. Iryan's excellent accent again, plus sounding like a very sinister butler. Was considering -1 for not doing it yourself, but I suppose not.
Jaooooo: 8/10. All words used, and pretty creatively too.
Reimu: 6/10. ...Well, you didn't suggest much to do other than sit and feel threatened. :V
Okay, really this time, no thanking the Mistress here. I suppose you could count thanking the gate guard, but alas. -5.
Average: 6/10 or 2.666/10 depending on how Hele's crazy scoring system works. I'd go with the former, but who knows?
Iryan:
Charisma: Mmmm. Your accent is lovely. I wouldn't have even thought I liked German accents. 7
Jaooooo: 6
Reimu: I kind of want to ding you for using WAV and making me download a 10 meg file for a one minute speech (>=|), but I won't since Hele explicitly listed it as a valid format. 6
Average: 6.333...
Dormio:
Charisma: Average. There's nothing that stands out, but it's not bad either. 6
Jaooooo: 6
Reimu: 6
Average: 6
Trance:
Charisma: Again, nothing special but not bad either. A rather long hesitation in there at one point though. 5
Jaooooo: The context of "pad" in here is confusing me, I don't get how pads were any use for the Scarlet Devil Launcher (it may also count as a Sakuya pad joke but I'll leave that judgement to Helepolis). I like the jab at Marisa near the end and the rhyme between "activities" and "festivities" though. 7
Reimu: 6
Average: 6
rdj:
Charisma: Oh god I had to really try hard to not laugh way loud in public when you got to the one part (it should be obvious which but I don't want to ruin the joke for anyone reading the judging remarks before listening to the speeches =P). 8
Jaooooo: I like the choice of using "pad" as in the slang for "house", "living space", what-have-you. 7
Reimu: 6
Average: 7
Rou:
Charisma: This speech. It is the funniest speech. I love it. Plus you get a boost on the actual charisma from Iryan's accent. :V (Though I'm sure yours is lovely too, it's not here to judge with. =P) 9.5
Jaooooo: "Stab a guess" is... kind of a weird turn of phrase, I think you were going for "take a stab", but I think the "stab" (ba-dum-tish) at Marisa for the "books" more than cancels it out even if she is one of my favorites. 8
Reimu: Since Iryan recorded it, see remark for him, but even less not getting dinged for it since it's not even your fault. :V 6
Average: 7.8333...

Actually Roukan has won in score, however he is already an IM. Therefore, the contest was only between the IPs, but mandatory for all IMs as well. Thank you for joining in.
-
Congratulations Iryan~
This challenge was a lot of fun to watch, and it was an honor to be a judge once as well. *Sakana bows*
-
おめてどうＩｒｙａｎさん。
I so lazy with my entries.
-
Wait, I won?! :o
Yaaay! :D
Thanks to the Helepolis, the judges, my competitors, and the Mistress, for making this such a delightful pastime.
Now I just need someone to take away that YouWaBan title. For sone reason, I can't remove it myself. :derp:
-
Full text details are up!
Thank you everybody. I was kind of not expecting many IPs to be killed during the earlier missions, but eventually most of them made through.
Still honorable mention should also go to Dormio for his gigantic IOCYS. (keep forgetting how to spell that :V). He conquered our hearts actually at the 2nd mission but yea, rules.
Tomorrow I will edit the opening post, summarize everything and provide hotlinks to the correct posts and pages. I will go to sleep now. As tomorrow Uni orz
-
holy what I did a lot better in this one than I expected :o
Not quite enough, though. Regardless, it was fun. Congrats to Iryan for getting the highest of the IPs, and to Rou for highest overall. Hopefully the contest was fun for everyone!
-

:D
Also, @Sapz:
I did say pad in my speech though.
Anyway, yeah, this thing was fun.
And also made me write something in English for the first time (that wasn't for school).
I didn't know that I could write ~11000 words in three days.
-
i don't do well when i only have 1 minute, yeah?
i'm better with long speeches :derp:
-
Congratulations to Iryan & Roukan! :toot:
-
Oh yeah, I did give a transcript of my speech to Helepolis later, after contemplating that some words may be harder to miss.
The "Chi" is in "Alpha, Chi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_%28letter%29) and Omega"
.
... :moogy:
Also, I have no idea why people would like my voice so much. :derp:
-
And after all that I win...the right to not lose my title. :V
Congrats and many thanks to Iryan. If you hadn't offered to step in and do my speech for me I'd be getting Gungnir'd right about now. -_-
-
Well damn, No disappointment? Well fine.
Good job the lot of you. Now when are we all going to poke fun at the losers? :4
-
How about we poke fun at the people making smartass comments from the sidelines? :P
-
Throw him a (9) ball challenge. It'd be too good for him anyway since he already lost the DotS duel I threw him.
-
Throw him a ⑨ ball challenge. It'd be too good for him anyway since he already lost the DotS duel I threw him.
Hey hey HEY bro.
You know I've got a shit computer.

You are soothing, like Microsoft Sam.

First post edited and structured. Think that concludes everything for this contest.
-
Hey hey HEY bro.
You know I've got a shit computer.
Dude. I play DotS on a laptop that doesn't have a graphics card at all.
Also, yay, honorable mention.
Anyway, thanks Hele for the fun challenges and to the judges for putting up with my entries.
EDIT: Also, Hele, isn't the acronym you're looking for CYOA?
-
Dude. I play DotS on a laptop that doesn't have a graphics card at all.
Just because your "non-existent graphics card" is onboard doesn't mean you don't HAVE a graphics card...
-
Just because your "non-existent graphics card" is onboard doesn't mean you don't HAVE a graphics card...
It's a graphics chipset, not a graphics card.
It's probably actually worse than a low end graphics card.
Because it eats over 1GB of my RAM.
-
My point still stands that my computer is quite possibly one of the worst ones any of you could ever know of.
Then again, I kinda brought it upon myself, Turning it off only once every three months at the least... Yeesh.

I'm the kind of guy that cant get by without his computer. For an hour at most.
I prolly should start taking care of this computer, but hell, I might be getting a new one soon.
-
You better clear your cache.

I... Dont really see how'd that help.

Pesco :V You Trollwi.
EDIT: Also, Hele, isn't the acronym you're looking for CYOA?
Right, CYOA. I should try remember that.

So, not to pressure anybody or anything, but...
When am I going to get the YOUWABAN title removed and replaced with the IM title? As said, I can't leave that group myself for some reason, and I don't want to be black anymore. :ohdear:
-
You got something against being black?
:trollface:

Black is beautiful. If you aren't black, you aren't beautiful.

Black is beautiful. If you aren't black, you aren't beautiful.
Penguins are black and white. Does that mean they are beautiful and not beautiful at the same time?

Get a room, you two.

And now post this statement out of context on any otaku board. :trollface:
