Categories Djudged:
Daily Theme Points (2.00 pts)
Earn two points every day by lathering and shaving with a single product that meets the daily theme's detailed criteria. You may use any shave soap, cream, or gel that satisfies the theme. If it isn't immediately obvious how your lather is supposed to be on theme, please explain it in your SOTD writeup.
See Section 3 of the rules to find out what happens if your soap isn't on theme.
Relevant Post Shave & Fragrance (0.20 pts)
Earn 1/5th of a point every day by keeping your lather, post shave, and fragrance thematically linked in some way. (E.g., perhaps all your software is on-theme, or there is some sort of wordplay binding products together - Santa Noir meets Santal Noir, anybody?)
Note: "trick-holing" products is by far the simplest (yet least-creative) way to earn this point. The judges welcome all kinds of creativity here as long as it isn't too far-fetched or hard to understand; if the connection between the products is tangential at best and you neglect to explain it, you probably won't earn this point.
Topical consistency (0.22 pts, djudges not eligible)
SOTD writeup is topically consistent and relevant to the goings-on of the day; e.g., germane to the daily theme, challenge, or running gags
Above and beyond (0.22 pts, djudges not eligible)
SOTD writeup demonstrates that the player is clearly going above-and-beyond the average level of effort in their LG participation
Enjoyable (0.22 pts, djudges not eligible)
SOTD writeup is especially enjoyable, engaging, or delightful to read / watch
Offensive (-0.22 pts, djudges not eligible)
SOTD writeup is offensive, distasteful, against the fun spirit of the games, or way too long without some sort of enjoyable or satisfying payoff; e.g., please never make a Judge say "I just spent eighteen boring minutes watching a dude quietly shave himself and I'll never get that time back; I think I am wasting my life."
Daily Challenge (0.20 pts)
Earn 1/5th of a point every day by completing the Daily Challenge (announced 24 hrs beforehand).
Note: Special Challenge days (see next line) will not also have the surprise Daily Challenges.
Special Challenge (1/2) (0.50 pts)
Earn 1/2 point of a point by completing the Special Challenges (scheduled on the calendar).
Special Challenge (1/1) (1.00 pts)
Earn 1/2 point of a point by completing the Special Challenges (scheduled on the calendar).
