So, You Want to be an Imagineer Season 19 - Madcap Circus [CONCLUDED]

[JokersWild]

Were figuring that out but since sign ups filled up so fast were looking to start sooner rather than later. I believe the original start date was June 7th.

BTW, I assume this means no eliminations for these three rounds?

Each of the three rounds will count one drop out as an official elimination. Anyone who drops out beyond that will be swapped in with an alternate. It's more about evening the numbers than anything else. Jokers and I still have to work out some details but I'm thinking there could be a system where while not in the main game alternates still have to complete solo mini prompts so everyone's on equal footing when it comes to work-load when entering the game.

So will this be more like SA where there will be tiered eliminations all at once, or on a week to week basis?

Because that above all else was why I'm suggesting to move the date up earlier because with so many people week by week elims would require more time if the plan is to finish mid-August before school and Imaginarium. But if there's a tiered system of eliminations that might be more efficient at narrowing down the cast in a timely manner without bi-weekly double/triple elims.

I know right?

ANNOUNCEMENT
All Project Zero submissions are to be PMed to Tiki and I. DO NOT post them publicly.
Thanks!​

No problem but may I ask the reason behind this?

 

[spacemt354]

So the competition starts on June 22nd, correct? Or 21st? I need to put it on my calendar.

I believe it was originally scheduled for June 4th, but is now tentatively slated for sometime over Memorial Day weekend May 28th - May 31st.

 

[TheOriginalTiki]

There will be at least one elimination every round, with some rounds having more than one. That's the way we've always done things and I feel like if we did tiered eliminations we'd veer too closely to SA's format just in general. The occasional double eliminations is what I plan on using to make sure the game ends on time.

 

[JokersWild]

The intention is for the powers to be secret. It’s something we used to do in the early seasons and we wanted to try bringing back. So you guys won’t know who submitted and who won unless you’re one of the recipients.

Of course, you guys can absolutely post your projects after the fact. Just try to keep them private for now.

Good sir you can take my place! I only signed up so there would be 3 teams of 7 - happy playing!

 

[JokersWild]

Proper sign ups are over unfortunately, but you can still sign up to be an alternate and take the place of someone if they drop out in the early rounds.

Nevermind. Welcome aboard.

Just say the word and they'll sign you up, there's an optional solo practice round going on right now where you design your own store, rules are below:

Season 19, Project Zero: The Slightly Sophisticated Shopping Showcase​

View attachment 558175

For the optional warm-up project, players must go solo to design a highly themed shop. The shop can be in any park. Disney, Universal, Six Flags, Holiday World, Nara Dreamland, whatever your heart desires! The top three will each receive a variant of the Power of MVP as followed.

3rd Place: Bronze PoMVP - Ensures your safety for the first two rounds of the game.

2nd Place: Golden PoMVP - Essentially a Hidden Immunity Idol, must be played BEFORE nominations get handed in to ensure safety from being nominated. Can be used at any point before the semi-finals. (First 11 projects)

1st Place: Diamond PoMVP - Grants you the power to switch out one or BOTH of any Project Leader's nominations from any team. Can be used at any point before semi-finals.

Oh yea, and we have tiers! @JokersWild can clarify what the themed "Rings" are but just to make it simple for right now I'll just call them tiers.

Tier One: Design a highly themed store that functions as a new "Exit through the gift shop" for an existing attraction.

Tier Two: Design a highly themed stand-alone store in any park. (+3 Bonus Points)

Tier Three: Design a launch location for a highly themed retail chain not connected to theme parks. Can still be associated with Disney, Universal etc. (+5 Bonus Points)

Grading Scale:
Creativity: /10
Realism: /10
Presentation: /10
Detail: /10

Projects due Friday, May 28th at 11:59PM Eastern​

EDIT: Make sure to send the finished project to @TheOriginalTiki and @JokersWild through a PM if you participate.
