I see some of your points Novi.
Instead of a point by point rebuttal, here's the scenario:
1. The promo-team's objective is to host competitions and tournaments throughout the Toribash ecosystem, whether they be short events or longer series type events.
2. The promo-team always works as a unit. Yes we operate as a tight unit. From time to time, some members may be overly enthusiastic but the majority of the time, their role and focus is to serve the community and they take their position seriously.
3. I recruited Stups and Nightmare to the team. I was impressed with Stups both in terms of his attitude, and foresight for putting baby-tori together. Also he frames scenes well and he's improved a lot since his first edition. Having had no formal training, his attitude means he'll probably go quite far whether it be in this community and/or outside of it in real life.
4. As for your opinions on the competition we are running.
*yes we would like to promote both the artists as well as the wearers of textures.
*we are likely to promote them on the front page of the website, though we might pose them (if agreed)
* yes we have allowed people to include effects. we're likely to include a post for people to include both a screen of their tori as well as a possible effects-driven one.. if so desired.
*epic posing + effects of course = win... creativity should be rewarded. although, the majority of a person's score would come from the actual look of a tori when we /lp it.
5. It's easy to comment from the outside about this and that, say a system isn't effective in this and that way. Actually putting in the effort day and night is the difficult bit and I respect my team for that. If you have an issue with any one of my team take it up with me.

Maybe it would be best if Gman addressed the issues with the actual competition. There are extreme discrepancies within the rules of the competition and what Stupinator has been posting, I think the toribash community would greatly appreciate a clearer set of rules and a more experienced competition host.
