Another nice one:

Rock Paper Scissors !!

Since there is a world championship (www.worldrps.com), we better train ourselves !


(Please do not consider this an official request for an extra event in the weekly competition. :D)

I vote for 21-PLLs, one-handed Magic, UFO, 3x3x3 with feet, symmetry solve, with chopsticks, 3x3x3 assembly.

That is mean :)

Dictator Arnaud invokes a new rule: New events need a minimum of 3 unofficial votes before official votes will be registered. The unofficial votes will than be converted to official votes.

Oh thank goodness. :D

Also, I don't think Rock Paper Scissors would work too well... What would we do, post one of the three? :p

Mensch ärgere dich nicht :confused:

Democracy might be not be such a good system anyway :(

Oh wait, I introduce the concept of anti-voting :eek: It makes sense that if you can vote to get something, you can also vote to not get it.

New rules to keep this democracy safe from individuality (replacing old rules):
0) I, as designated dictator, reserve the right to disobey the rules and change them whenever I want :D
1) Votes and anti-votes cancel out each other
2) As long as the sum of votes - antivotes is smaller than 3, votes and anit-votes remain unofficial and I will not keep track of it in the first post.
3) As long as the sum of votes - antivotes is between 3 and 10 I will keep track of it in the first post.
4) When something has been voted up to 10, It will be added to the weekly competition
5) When something has been voted up to 10, it will remain in the weekly competition untill the sum of votes - antivotes is above 3

I hope all of this makes sense and that all of you will do the same

I vote against Mensch ärgere dich nicht, cupstacking, Rock Paper Scissors, one-handed Magic, symmetry solve, with chopsticks and 3x3x3 assembly

I won't vote against (or for) 21-PLLs, UFO, 3x3x3 with feet, but I really hope they don't make it.

If some of the above would get 10 votes I hope someone offers to create an "unofficial weekly competition" and maintain the results for that because don't want to do that!

Good that my post had this nice side effect.
Since i don't want out beautiful competition getting "spammed" with blindfolded-cupstacking and underwater-magic-with-feet

So here Antivotes:
Mensch ärgere dich nicht, cupstacking, Rock Paper Scissors, one-handed Magic, symmetry solve, with chopsticks and 3x3x3 assembly, 21-PLLs, UFO, 3x3x3 with feet

OR (suggestion!) we could make a "Fun-Competition" with various events each week besides the normal one. This competition could include all crazy and weird stuff we might want to try ;)

Last chance to influence the points for Fewest Moves. I will need to know before 11:59.99 am GMT+1.

Current idea: 10 points for participating, 10 points for the winner.
Alternative idea: 10 points for participating, 10/8/6 points for places 1/2/3.

And I would need to know how many points I should give to MegaMinx also before monday 11:59.99 am GMT+1.
Current idea: Same as 4x4x4 and Square1 (4 for participating, 7/6/5 for places 1/2/3). MegaMinx takes a little longer to solve than a 4x4x4 and Square-1, but you don't have to learn anything new for it if you already know how to solve the 3x3x3
Alternative idea: Same as 5x5x5. (5 for participating, 8/7/6 for places 1/2/3).
