Okay, so, what I want for this competition is for these people to show their creativity. I don't want to box them in. We've reached the stage of the competition where the weakest competitors have been eliminated.
[X] Plan Artistic Endeavor
- 6 people eliminated, 6 finalists remain
- 12 points for each competitor to spend at the market.
- Each competitor will have one hour to peruse the sect market for anam materials and supplies, limited to the 12 point budget granted. They will then be given some time to come up with a charm concept that would make use of the given materials in conjunction the rare material they had previously gathered. The charm can be anything, be it a weapon, a piece of art, something for utility, so long as it would end up a functional charm that suits its purpose. The goal is simple - convince Kong Zhi that their ideas have artistic and technical merit. They should keep in mind though that those who pass will need to actually make their charm, for that will be what they will have to enter into the finals.
-- The materials and supplies purchased by the losers will be confiscated. Anything that Mo Hanying doesn't want to keep or resell will be split between Kong Zhi and Fan Zhao.
Let them come up with whatever they can, with the limits on their materials imposed. They each get 12 points to work with, along with the fruits of their labor in the prior round. That ensures the playing field is fairly even, and it shows their skill rather than their ability to gain money. Anyone who comes up with a boring idea will be eliminated. Six finalists should ensure that enough of them actually are able to make their charm concept since some might experience explosions and not make it to the finals. This also lets us set what the final competition will be, and gives them plenty of time to make the best charm they can.
