Tour de Vizzed Updates

Jerseys and Banners Affect the Vizzed GO Cards
Competitors of the TdV competition can be caught with their card styles and those cards will eventually have special purposes. More information can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102091



Here's some brief TdV info:

Each day there will be 4 Jerseys you can compete for:
Yellow Jersey: Most words in a day
Blue Jersey: Most posts in a day
Red Jersey: Most CP in a day
Green Jersey: Most CP actions in a day

If you get 1st place in a Jersey for a day, you get to "wear" that Jersey the following day. To "wear" it means that the background of your username will have a unique background graphic. Only the top 5 places of each Jersey gets points, 1st gets 5 and 5th gets 1. Whoever has the most points for any Jersey at the end of the competition gets to wear that Jersey for the entire next month. If you have more than 1 jersey, your jersey receives stripes for each jersey color you own.

Along with the Jerseys are Banners that change your username color. They basically represent who has the most points total:
Rainbow Banner: Whoever has the most points so far in the competition
White Banner: New member who has the most points so far in the competition (anyone who has signed up in the past 3 months)
Gray Banner: Veteran member who has the most points so far in the competition (anyone who signed up more than 7 years ago)

Tour de Vizzed Rules:

You'll be DQ'd if:
-More than 25% of your daily posts are made in one of the following forums: Crazy House, Vizzed Market, Polls and Questions, Video Game Craziness, Newbie Forum (unless posts are made in your own thread then it's 50%)
-You copy content from other websites or other posts
-You use the "tabbing" technique to make a bunch of posts in a short amount of time
-You're caught cheating or unfairly earning Contribution Points
-More than 25% of your daily posts are made in the same thread (your own thread and staff threads are an exception)
-If 50% or more of your daily words are posted in the final hour of the day
-Staff members are not allowed to feature their own reviews during the Tour de Vizzed

Additionally:
If you get DQ'd just once from a Jersey, you can no longer get points for that Jersey for the rest of the month. We will be very strict from now on with the Tour de Vizzed. Only CP actions which you earned CP off of count toward the Green Jersey.

If you get DQ'd from too many Jerseys in too many TdV competitions, you'll be DQ'd from the TdV forever. Also, if you get DQ'd from a single Jersey in too many competitions, you'll be DQ'd from that specific Jersey forever.

Also, if 50% or more of your daily words are posted in the final hour of the day, you'll be DQ'd from the Yellow Jersey. Too many users have waited until the end of the day to submit a bunch of reviews to the site and that's unfair to users competing.

Moving Ebay Listings for the time being does not count toward any of the Jerseys. The price guide feature hasn't been retrieving ebay listings in nearly 2 years because of ebay updating their scripts and me not finding the time to update my own scripts to reflect that so what I've been doing instead is, every few months, I buy a price guide from PriceCharting.com and batch add the data to the games. There's no reason to allow it to count since it's not beneficial to the site at all since all of those ebay listings are very outdated and those prices no longer reflect what's current.



Additional Tour de Vizzed Info:

Some CP actions only count as 1 per day. In other words, any action in the below list can only increase your Green Jersey points by 1:
Forum Navigation, Review Rated, User Referral Posted, Video Rated, Post Spell Checked, Visiting Vizzed, Screenshot Rated, Post, Game Commenting, Thread, Thread Reply, Chat Room Minute, Staff Forum Post, Staff Forum Thread and Screenshot Details Added.

These CP actions do not count toward the Green Jersey: Game Content.

Each day there will be a specific CP action which will be worth doubled the points which benefits the Red Jersey competition. Below is a list of which actions are worth doubled on which days this month:
1. None
2. Video Submission
3. Screenshot Submission
4. Moving Ebay Listing

Let the games begin!

I moved this to General Chat because I assume it wasn't meant to be in Treasure Can just yet haha.

GL everyone! I'm not sure if I'll be competing as hard as last time, who knows.

Winter in July... I know of a few people who would love this on the northern hemisphere as well xD

Let's see how the games go this time around. I won't be participating actively, but my activity and wordy nature will surely net me at least a couple jerseys along the way.

Good luck to all participants!

I hate global warming... I want snow in July.

Good luck to those planning to compete this month.

Should see a good uptick in activity on the forums this month. That should be good for David's ad revenue.

thing1 : I don't think it'll matter for the ad revenue but it should definitely help get the forum activity back up a little.

Furret : Thanks. I hate lacking sleep

Furret starts out with the lead.

Davideo7 : I think something is wrong with the veteran rankings. I think I should be up there... I registered 8 years ago, and didn't win Veteran back in Winter 2018 TdV.

thing1 : The Gray Banner can only be won once. Anyone who wins it is excluded from it in all the next competitions (until we modify this rule again, which I don't think we will).

Look at how David isn't on the standings either. Both him and you are previous winners, and as such excluded from the results so other people, besides the new wave of qualified users since January, can have their chance at winning the banner.

This has been a long time coming since last TdV. Back then I was unable to ever catch up to the leader because I started like a week in, I'm not making that mistake this time.

Hope I can keep this for the rest of the month.

Alright, I think this year is going to be my year to go for Green. I dont know how many years its been since I last tried but Im feeling it, so IkuZ.

JigSaw : too funny to me jigsaw i wish it was in ma here from cid789

Davideo7 : me too david everyone need sleep at times from cid789

I wanna wish everyone luck who competes this year I might go for a top 10 finish just to prove to myself I could eventually go for a victory someday.

EX Palen : Oh, you can only win it once? I don't remember winning it before, but alright.
I thought the rule was that when you win it, you can't win it next time.

It's time for me to do something in this TDV.

thing1 : You did win it in the summer of 2018 according to the hall of fame.

Which in theory both ways would be correct, you cant win it again or you cant win it twice in a row as to the reason why you didn't win it last year.

However, I wasn't overly aware you could only win the vet banner once. Guess that'll be a thing for david to confirm.

I would also like to take a second in saying I guess I'm a Vet

Not that big a deal but there is display issue with some of the jerseys to where it obstructs the users name. I've circled them below.

JigSaw : That happens when someone has 2 or more jerseys. Today might be people's only chance to get a rainbow Vizzed user card >>
