How the heck do I have a rating over anyone?
Third question here?
What did you have for breakfast?
This isn't a question?

RE: Rating
RE: Rating over
Its loosely related to your site activity and RPGxp.
Don't blame me, I just read the charts. Don't worry... you play bad enough, it will go down if that makes you feel any better about it!

RE: Third Question
Yes, it is.

RE: Breakfast
A double chocolate chip cookie and three cups of coffee. Hey, don't judge, I had like 50 PT conferences today.

RE: This isn't a question?
Actually, it is. Isn't it?

I hope that helps!

Congratulations to everyone that got qualifying entries in this year!

The battle has begun! There is a bit of a shorter turn around in Round 1 - about 5 days. All the others are about 7.

The pairings are posted in Those That Shall Fight

Round 1 is open here.

Good luck and lets get this started!!

[Dworin]

Good luck all and I'm looking forward to reading your contributions!

When do the secret tags get pulled back so we can gush over the amazing work our fellow competitors put in?

We're working on that now... over the next couple of days. There is also a feebback page that will come up with them.

Thanks! - Savoy

Good luck to everyone on the Round 1 entries! This is the place to ask any questions if you have them.

It looks like Iron Signet has drawn the bye this round. The bye is a good thing to have, but be careful with it--note in the rules that you still must submit an entry and that if anyone drops our or has to pass a round, then the bye entry gets paired up in a match against the opponent of whoever dropped out or passed.

Welcome one and all, officially, to ROUND ONE!

This is Strange here! As you can see, we've mixed things up this year by allowing the public to view rounds as they are released, so audience and entrants alike may stew over its delicious contents at the same time! I admit I am particularly proud of the ingredients I plucked for this round, and oh so ready, to see what you cooking geniuses will whip up!

I am including a general reminder on how we handle ingredient discussion in the Studio Audience right here. Give it a read, so you know the DO's and DON'Ts when it comes to publicly talking about your ingredients!

So last year we were expected to post a check-im that we read the rules and then a second post with our actual entry, but I don’t see anything about that in this year’s rules. Is that still a thing?

Yep... I better get that going. It was a bit late last night when I was unwrapping all this.

Thanks for the tickler!

I've opened the Round 0 Feedback since we already can some comments to share. Expect more to come over the day or two.

We didn't give formal feedback last year to Round 0, so I hope you'll find the comments give this year helpful!

[Admin Dirk]

Round 1 entry done.

Hit 'em hard, fast and early. Then run away like hell.

although technically, my post stating acknowledgement of the round and my entry are the same.

[GodRosen]

I know my round 0 entry wasn't perfect but now I feel embarrassed that's what I submitted after a glance at everyone else's. (Edit: Mobile key board emoji don't work here. Ignore this)
I hope to get time to read them all and gain wisdom as to how to better approach Iron DM. I know I've judged in the past but now I'm not sure I've retained any of that info from when I did! Oh I am struggling for sure. Lol

Hey Banana could I also get additional clarification on the feedback back I'm not sure I fully understand.

Sure! Happy to do it here or via PM. Disclaimer though--I have words, but they might not be wise!
