The Summer Tour de Vizzed is here!

You can find last season's results here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=106161



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:

-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
-You're found to be reviewing games that you have not finished
-You post twice in a row on a thread (Blog threads are an exception)
-Your posts are found to be below site standard to unfairly gain points or are completely off topic
-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

Reminder: Be sure to PM the RGR Staff if you want a game page added to the site that the site currently doesn't have.

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

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.

Also the following types of threads have been restricted 1 post per day.
This Thread, ABC, Elimination, and Hangman style threads. Currently ask me anythings not restricted unless abused.

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. None

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:

Let the games begin!

Ah another Tour de Vizzed time to hope for a new winner and....


WAIT A MINUTE just because you won the last 2 tdvs doesn't mean you can take over making the thread and running it I mean at least I don't think that's how that works.

SonicOlmstead : yeah I was just about to say "Wait a minute, doesn't David normally start the thread?" because if I didn't know any better Furret Copied and pasted from the last one because IT'S THE SUMMER TOUR


Well now that Furret has explained himself, I might as well say my piece regarding this tour. Despite me having a bit of a start today, and submitting a good idea for the results page, I don't think I'll compete, I really need to put some positive energy into my mental system this summer and doing the Tour kind of overwhelms me since I don't like to sit at my computer all the time. I will however take some time to spruce up some guides and collect more screenshots so I can be prepared (whenever Twister posts I feel like I've lost already) I still however will submit a video that I opted not to upload (Vendetta didn't win the coin-op poll anyway)

And it sure doesn't help that I have a little PTSD from the last tour, being locked out for Thirty Six hours wasn't fun not to mention a good point day was wasted because something wasn't working (specifically the screenshot submission)

SonicOlmstead : David is offline! He is on vacation! Someone has to kickstart this thing! I see nobody more qualified than the back to back 2026 champion

classgame : I just copied the post from last season so I could manually change the little things one by one instead of having to do it all at once haha, you caught me early, it's fixed now!

Yay! It's back!

I'm hoping to get a decent amount of the remaining 400 or so posts to get to 30,000. Other than that I don't really care how the TdV goes for me.

Of course it would be fun to win the veteran banner again but I don't care enough to really compete. I'd rather just get lots of posts!

Closing this to direct people to Davids thread.
