RMT of the Week V5: Week 39

[Snowy]

RMT of the Week
co-hosted by Team Pokepals and IronBullet​

Want your team noticed by a lot of people? Do you want all the efforts you put into testing your team and writing up your RMT to count? This is where RMT of the Week comes in! The aim of this project is to give people who put effort into making quality RMTs the attention they deserve. There are a lot of teams out there that are well-built and presented, but often left in the dark. Not anymore!

Concept

• Every week, we will nominate a few teams as candidates for the RMT of the Week.
• These teams are put in a poll. Everyone can vote for the team they think is most deserving of the award.
• At the end of the week, the winner will be the team that receives the most votes.

Prizes

So what's in it for the winners? Well, the winning team will be announced on social media. It will also be recorded in the Hall of Fame, which will be posted in the OP for each week, and people are encouraged to rate it. Winning the RMT of the Week also increases the chance of having your RMT added to the Team Showcase, subject to review, since it brings it to the notice of the staff. Finally, the winner will have an opportunity to give a brief interview.

RMT Requirements

• Make sure your team is viable and effective: This one is self-explanatory. If your team doesn't fit into its tier or metagame, or lacks any kind of success, it won't have a high chance of being selected. It doesn't have to be archive worthy though, and it doesn't have to have peaked at #1; a moderately successful team can make it, but it has to work.
• Your team should be well-presented: Wouldn't you enjoy posting in a thread more if it was visually appealing? If you put effort into presenting your team attractively, people will be more willing to rate it. We appreciate it when you take time to improve the quality of your RMTs, as it enhances the quality of the forum.
• Be nice and receptive to people's opinions: No one likes to rate the team of a close-minded person!

For those whose teams are selected, don't ask anyone, be it friends or anyone else, on the forums or on PS! to vote for you. For friends of the people whose teams get selected, the same goes for you as well: please don't post the link in chat rooms to try and get people to vote.

The first time someone is caught cheating, their team will be disqualified and removed from the ongoing week. If someone is caught cheating for a second time, they will be permanently banned from the project.

[Omfuga]

Ok well since i lost I might as well be honest i obviously cheated because I have 43 fucking votes LOL

but to be fair I only cheated because Lacus Clyne blatantly cheated and had 20 votes compared to my 5 THE FIRST DAY OF THE VOTING

to put it into perspective: he had more votes than the winners of some weeks in less than a full day lol!

Anyway so i saw he had 20 votes in a few hours and linked everyone and told them to vote for me so I should be disqualified!

but also so should he

[9/27/16, 9:51:29 AM] xdevo14: omfuga I voted for your RMT
[9/27/16, 9:51:33 AM] xdevo14: hope ur proud
[9/27/16, 9:51:42 AM] xdevo14: shoutouts to lacus for linking me to it

[10/3/16, 2:18:21 AM] mazar: lol you lost to a guy who also asked me

Ok sorry guys cheaters never prosper I know this :(( And 2 wrongs dont make a right!! I'll cleanse my efforts in the future!

tl;dr i cheated but only cuz someone else cheated making it impossible to win so in this scenario i'm Naive Adam of "Adam and Eve" and he's Lucifer

While we're at it, level 51 and motherlove also cheated.

We should really remove that rule, since there's no way to verify when people cheat. Like, who cares? It's rmt of the week, lol, I don't even get the incentive to cheat. Waste of fucking time. If you wanna win bad enough to cheat we mighy as well let you. Like, congrats? You won a fun little contest with no prize?

Disqualified Fuga, Lacus and Level 51 so this week's winner is Evan. with his NU RMT all my friends. Results have been skewed a lot obviously but might as well announce someone who actually decided to stick to the rules and play fairly. Scheduled a tweet.

Yes there's no way to verify but that shouldn't mean people just take advantage of it. Removing the rules will simply make the situation worse. There's no point in doing nothing and letting the project lose all meaning. Seriously guys, how hard is it to just stick to the rules and not ask people to vote? It's sad because the aim of the project is to bring to light teams that deserve recognition and encourage a higher quality of posting in RMT, which is quite useful when it succeeds, and not deteriorate into a popularity contest. I honestly don't get why people feel the need to cheat for this since there's not even much incentive like you said, but whatever. We'll continue disqualifying cheaters when we can.
