COOKING CONTEST SIGN-UPS!
Hey everyone! As announced ICly, on November 20th there will be a gamewide cooking contest run by Whitley the Schnee Company! Instructions for applying to the contest are below, but I want to detail briefly how the contest is going to work oocly – what I want to emphasize is that characters do not need to be established chefs to enter, nor does a lack of experience mean they can’t possibly win!
When entering as a contestant, I’ll ask that you give your character a rating from 0-5 that best describes their level of experience in cooking as it pertains to the category they’re entering in, be it entrées or desserts. The ranks are described as follows:
0: No experience whatsoever – never cooked a day in their life.
1: Very little experience – maybe uses a toaster oven or microwave sometimes.
2: Can/has cooked , meals are passable, sometimes not great but always edible. Can follow a recipe, not so much innovate one.
3: Cooks with some regularity, meals are consistently good. Can successfully experiment with ingredients and procedures.
4: Cooks often (daily, or close to it), knows a kitchen like the back of their hand. Meals or dishes are always praiseworthy.
5: Cooking is what your character lives for, and they’re phenomenal at it. You’ll probably know if your character falls into this category.
When the contest is underway and characters present their dishes, I’ll use an online dice-rolling program to randomly grade their dish on a scale of 0-100. What your character’s experience level does is provide a bonus to this roll, with each point adding +5 to their score, meaning at a skill of 0 a character gets no bonus while at +5 they gain +25 points. This means that while a character with more cooking experience certainly has an advantage, they are NOT guaranteed to win! Alice Nakiri can roll a 1 and even with a +25 end up with only 26 points, while Orihime with no bonus to dinner entrées can potentially roll a natural 100 and win the whole thing with a seafood-and-Fruit-Loops casserole topped with chocolate and ketchup.
If you’re entering as a CONTESTANT, please reply to the entry thread below with the following information:
CHARACTER NAME: (duh)
CATEGORY ENTERED: (entrée or dessert?)
DISH BEING ENTERED: (what is your character making?)
SPECIAL INGREDIENTS/EQUIPMENT NEEDED: (you don’t need to mention anything that even MIGHT be available in an average restaurant-level kitchen, but if you need something special let me know here!)
CHARACTER’S EXPERIENCE: (0-5 based on the scale above. Remember, this is only regarding the field they’re entering in! If your character is a master dessert baker but is entering with a dinner, keep that in mind)
If entering a character to serve as a JUDGE, please reply to the judge application thread with the following information. Bear in mind the number of judges caps at 5 - if I get less than 5 applications then everyone who requested will get in, but if more enter then applications will be accepted based on experience:
CHARACTER NAME:
EXPERIENCE WITH CUISINE: (Are they a food blogger? Do they eat out a lot? Do they just… eat a lot in general? Anything you think might be applicable, mention it here!)
OTHER: (If your character would do something special to try and get a spot on the judge’s panel, mention it here. Be creative!)
If there are any other questions, there is a thread for that below as well. Good luck all, and happy cooking!
