Hello everyone,
The polls are now closed, I will go through each one of them and explain how they will affect the CCC’s rules, even if it seems obvious to some. I will allow a certain degree of laxity considering certain results as the votes were close and I don’t want restrictive rules, the goal is to have a pleasant contest.
-
The creative period, where artists are allowed to submit their work will last a month after the new round was announced, I hope this will allow more time to improve each entry, and be less stressful.
-
The voting period where the community chooses their favourite submission will last a week after the end of the creative period.
-
When the voting period is over, there will be a one-week break before the next round is announced. Therefore, there will be a new round every month and a half or roughly every six weeks, which means 2 rounds in 3 months and 8 rounds each year.
-
The number of characters to be featured each round will vary, but it will be mostly 3 characters, as it was before, there could be 4 or more characters if some characters usually go by a pair or as a group, one round could be themed around the Four Fangs, the Four Hounds/Winds, or Grado’s six generals for instance.
-
The first-place winner will choose at least one character, the second place will do the same and the community will vote for the last character(s). However, if they wish, the first-place winner can submit a list of characters they would like to see featured or a theme to be set, but the second place will decide if they intend to follow the first place’s wishes.
-
There will be no restrictions from winning multiple times in a row. However, if they wish, the first-place winner can forfeit their benefits and give them to the second place or another contestant of their choice.
-
There will be at least one character who doesn’t have a portrait yet each round, if neither the first place and second place winners chose a character that doesn’t have a portrait, then all the characters the community can vote for will be characters who don’t have a portrait yet.
-
The characters chosen will be restricted to Fire Emblem, but not necessarily main entries, characters that appeared in Fire Emblem Heroes or Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE can be selected.
However, the Kaga Saga games (TearRing Saga, Berwick Saga, Vestaria Saga I and II), if technically not Fire Emblem games, they will be considered as such, therefore, characters from those games can also be selected. -
Other forms of art, such as music, custom animations, and map sprites among others will be accepted as long as they are relevant to one of the featured characters, however, the artist’s post will only be eligible if they submit a portrait as well, remaining the main feature of this contest.
-
There will be other surveys in the future, I hope you enjoyed this first edition, if you want to suggest any questions for next time, feel free to post them on this thread. I believe the next CCC will follow this ruleset until the 25th round, which would be in a year or so. Thus, maybe each month of April, we could host the CCC Community Survey. If you feel like it will be too early or too late, I invite you to suggest when you will like to have another similar survey.
I thank you all for participating in this event, I wish you a wonderful day and I’ll see you soon for the next CCC, goodbye!
