WELL THIS WAS FUN!


For those of you who don't know, FGOM stands for 'Forums Game of Mods'. If you know what Game of Mods is, this is basically that- except this takes place on Forums and instead of receiving OLDCP Moderator, you get Forums Moderator if you win. So now you're probably wondering... well, who won? That's why I'm making this!


STAGE ONE: Make a picture of someone in the community. The smartest/funniest picture will win!


Many people participated in this task, such as Joseph, Kace, Lylance, Anja and Pablo. Each contestant did a different drawing than the other, but Pablo emerged victorious. You can see his picture here. Damen had this to say about his art: ''A very relatable moment... being slain by boss nass on oldcp. Pablo did this on paper, as did Lylance, but Pablo's wasn't just well drawn but was of a good oldcp community memory. Anja's was 0.001 away from winning. It was a surprise, it has a lot of character... I mean it completely blew me away.''


STAGE TWO: Make a funny meme


The people who partook in this stage were Kace, Lylance, Frogs and Alatar. After nearly a day of looking at the memes created by the contestants, Damen decided to hand the win to Lylance. He says, ''This happens sometimes- not always but it does. I didn't just pick this because its relatable, but because the meme itself was structured in a way that nicely builds up the punchline at the end and didn't involve too much reading.''.



STAGE THREE: Write a true story about yourself. The best story wins. (Do this in a discussion with FGOM in the title)


This task surprisingly had less people than the other two. Those people were Pablo, Lylance, Kace and Zen. After reading everyone's stories out loud and giving his criticism and feedback on them, Damen was faced with the ultimate decision; who won the stage and who won overall? Pablo's story was full of detail and it made you feel as though you were present in his graduation ceremony. Damen liked how it was structured and he made comments on how great his grammar was. Zen's story was emotional, he said. He said it made you feel like you were in her shoes. He commented on the happy ending, but he also commented on how her grammar was incorrect in some places. As for Lylance's story, Damen felt like he could relate to how it was. He even shared some of his own life experience. But when it came to judge the writing itself, he acknowledged how poorly written it was. He said that some punctuation was off and that there wasn't capital letters where they were necessary. And lastly, Kace's story- Damen cracked a lot of giggles reading this. When he was done laughing, he basically said that it was a horrid story and that there was no way he'd win in the task. But it was a great story! Just... indecent grammar.

Time for the winner- It was between Lylance and Pablo. It took Damen a good 15 minutes to decide on who should win... and he chose Pablo. Pablo won this stage and he also won the overall.



WINNER: Pablo
OVERALL WINNER: Pablo


Be sure to congratulate him when you guys see him! As for everyone else who took part in this competition, you all did a spectacular job. Even though you didn't win doesn't mean you shouldn't be happy. Bye.

I wouldn't say that. Mine is mostly just a bunch of links. They are complimentary to each other. :)

Well deserved, Pablo. I honestly don’t try when it comes to my punctuation and grammar so I guess that’s why I lost.

Don't mind the corny cliché I'm about to say but "We all won" today. Zen, You and I all produced heartfelt stories and opened up to the community a reality that others didn't know about us - beyond what we've done on OldCP. At the end of the day, this is not my win but all of our wins.
