Team: Round 1 - Match 1: EC v Guardian

[HisLordship]

[The Evil Council]

Believability: 9 /10: The considerable realism in the prose would have made Balzac proud.

Powerplay: - 9 /10: My compatriots of the Council prove yet again why they always offend some party or another if they occupy the same forums with them. Given the amout of deliberation that went into the judgement, I feel I can safely give the highest powerplay score I have yet seen.

Inventiveness: 7 /10: The use of the locust fiends from the charms with such versatility earned some accolades from me. The clone attunement works well here, too.

Personality/Flair: 10/10: The Council has nothing resembling a personality, and the Pope is a staunch Hindu. What else would one expect from one of the oldest organizations in the Creatures Community.

Cleverness: 6/10: An Evil Base â„¢ is hardly an original concept, as anyone who has seen any Bond Film will attest to. Yet dug out by the eclectic battlemonkeys, bred and train with a tendency for creating fecal projectiles? The usual cheekiness of the Council strikes again.

Grammar/Spelling: 10/10 My, how you have grown from a semi literate lot to grammatical polymaths. I must be having a good influence over you.

Teamwork: 9/10: Very good displays of a pack mentality. Having had experience in group engagements, the Council shows how it has earned its mettle.

Total: 42




[The Guardians]

Believability: 9 /10: Incredible. For a young group you show considerable skill. Taking damage readily (almost getting killed in Shine’s case) you served quite well.

Powerplay: - 1/10: Only mild bones of contention, mentioned by my fellow judges.

Inventiveness: 6/10: Golem armadas playing, as Netdroid9 so wonderfully described, Jenga with the Evil Council’s tower, while not the most original idea for the type of assault weapons – the Talmud is the original source – is an excellent innovation nonetheless

Personality/Flair: 9/10: That those so young in this community should have defined themselves so well is remarkable. I am pleased that you have made characters and enacted with them in such ways that they are good and morally centered without being annoyingly cheery or mindless like some others I have known.

Cleverness: 6/10: What does delineate cleverness from inventiveness? Do they not share the same etymological root meaning? They serve the same purpose for this evaluation, so why are they attached? In any event, this equalizes with the inventiveness rating, for reasons previously mentioned.

Grammar/Spelling: 10/10 I would not award the Pulitzer for this writing – that is a privilege I save for my own work – yet you wrote well and error free.

Teamwork: 8/10: As overpowered as you were the outmanoeuvring of your opposition was excellent, especially in terms of going back for the stranded Shine and such. Still, as was mentioned by the ever-observant Kat_05, some of those actions were happenstance, I made some deductions. But, the unofficial planning in the hidden place was greatly helpful.
