The Summer Tour de Vizzed is here! You can find last season's results here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=98868


Fun Fact: Today is also the start of the Tour de France.


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)

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!

Ayyy I might try to win this one :v

I'll probably give up sometime in the middle but hey, you never know .

Good luck to everyone competing~

Hooray, this isn't in the Treasure Can a month early anymore! I thought that was pretty funny.

Anyway, since summer TdV's are typically the most active, I hope this one is too. I'll try to make this TdV interesting by competing but I don't think I can put in as much time each day as I used to. Today I am just passing the time while I travel home from Cocoa Beach and Disney World, both in Florida.

Now go get those Skittle letters!

To anyone reading or intending on competing, can you do yourselves and everyone else a favor? Since as long as I've been on the site, I've heard numerous people complain about the TDV, talking about horrible it is and some would like to see the whole competition just go completely away. Everyone, and I mean everyone, takes this competition WAY too seriously. It's a game. It's supposed to be fun. Can we maybe try something different and just have fun and not be at each other's throats this time around?

Post. Submit screenshots. Write reviews. Don't run yourself or anyone else into the ground over a competition on a website. Just have fun and enjoy summer. If you try it, you might just find that you like it.

It is finally time for the TDV, which means activity and submissions should get better and increase in quantity, and hopefully this time the quality goes up as well.

Per usual, I'll post some, I won't compete too much, especially with myself being out of town almost every day of the month of July, except some days I'll be doing netplay lol.

Hopefully people can finally have fun while competing in a TDV, not take everything too seriously. I will look forward to hopefully posting another review for the first time in almost a full year, might also make a guide, something short.

Articles might also happen, go back to my staff roots.

Good luck to everyone who will possibly be competing, may the best user win!

Best of luck to anyone who is competing on this TdV. I don't know if I'll be competing often, though. Might suddenly pop in for a few days who knows... B) Trying to post as much as posts as possible because I want to increase my post count and want to reach level 100 (I also make sure my posts make sense and have fun while posting in the threads)

m0ssb3rg935 : Thank you for posting that. I'd love to see a more chill TdV this time around, not when it comes to activity but with drama.

Another thing I want to add is that no one should be afraid to sandwich post. There is a site code that prevents it from being excessive. Just make sure you don't post in the same thread more than other threads, and don't be spammy. 

greenluigi : Best of luck to you too! It's nice to see you compete again after so long. The grass is already greener, look at that

Pacman+Mariofan : Hehe I was kinda touched after reading your post, thanks! I'm too sensitive I become touched after every positive comment somebody gives me lol , and yeah the grass indeed got greener haha! Let's hope it will get greener for the upcoming days

greenluigi : Aww I'm glad I could make you feel touched with an encouraging post! Yeah I always feel a burst of happiness when people compliment me.

Let's hope some of the grass gets bluer too this month! I mean, see how bright my username is. I really like this light blue

We have eyes everywhere.. no one will get away with anything this time.

Anyhow, everyone be sure to play fair and have fun. Let's make this year's TDV the best one.

I probably won't do much competing this time around. Good luck to those of you competing for the grand prize, hopefully we see a new winner.

Well, not the best of starts yesterday, but still we had three people over 30 posts for Blue. I doubt we've seen many instances like this one, if any, in the present year so far.

It's also nice to see that we only have two past winners in the top 10 after the first day, and it doesn't look like they'll put up a fight beyond staying in the top 10. Again, this wasn't the trend this year, so another reason to have hopes for this TdV to be entertaining.

One more thing to note: three non-staff users in the top 10, with two of them clinching a jersey. It really feels like this TdV will be open for everyone and quite a tough battle until the very end, so let's hope it doesn't disappoint.

Good luck to all the participants. You may see me in the top 5 once a week for staff duties, but that should be all. I could maybe fight for my 13th Red jersey because I've always liked that number, but the month has just started and it's too soon to set any goals for me.

I finally posted my Dragon Quest VI guide, which will give me red and yellow jerseys. It will likely be one of the only times I earn jerseys since work keeps me busy.

Yay, I got the Yellow Jersey! It feels good grabbing a jersey after more than 2 years! I kinda expected to get the blue as well, but Pac beat me at the end. I couldn't visit the site today since I was with my friend for the whole day, so most probably tomorrow I won't have a jersey on my username. I have a much better chance tomorrow.

Pacman+Mariofan : Congrats on getting the Rainbow Banner and stealing my temporary 1st place position yesterday on the Blue Jersey! I think it's the first time I see your username under a rainbow banner. Do your best to defend your title! This will be tough, since so many people are active during summer.

greenluigi : Yeah, it was nice to see a new rainbow banner holder It is my first time. I think this is actually the first time I went all out on the first day since 2013. Ever since then I've saved up threads for after the first 3 days.

But this time I was bored in the car and I had a cell phone XD

Pacman+Mariofan : Haha, nice! This is the perfect thing to do when you're bored XD. As a matter of fact, I think this is also the first time since I 'really' compete on the first day, and the first time I grab a jersey on the first day! This is barely the beginning, we should expect to see more tension after 3 days

Pacman+Mariofan starts the TdV with the lead.

greenluigi : Exactly, this completely destroyed my boredom and I could barely even keep track of time! Posting from my phone was crazy slow though since a computer keyboard is much more friendly. I'm finally back home now so I can post my usual speed and make longer posts in shorter time. Actually, I expect the tension not to start until after July 4th since it's a national holiday in the United States.

I can't remember the last time I got my own thread title, so this is a cool bonus. To be honest, I had no idea I'd grab the rainbow on the first day. I'm innocent; I only wanted to pass the time and use up all the high-speed data on my phone for the month! Sitting in a car doing nothing would be too boring, so I did this.

This week I might be able to put a ton of time into the TdV since my family needs to relax when they aren't working. I like this rainbow banner of course, but I don't want to do this for myself. If I win these jerseys and banners for myself, it's pointless. I want my achievements to be selfless. It's for the site's activity and my friends that want to compete with me. However, as always I need to put real life first so if I completely drop off the stats, it means I had more to do outside of vizzed.

And finally, a meme that I made last month of Lakitu from Mario Kart 8.

Pacman+Mariofan : LMAO I LAUGHED OUT LOUD WHEN I SAW THIS MEME OF URS NICE ONE!

I didn't have a chance yesterday to compete, so I'm using my time today to do so. I'm doing my best as usual. A blue or yellow jersey would be very nice! These are usually the jerseys where I have the highest chance to get them. We usually get red and green via staff actions (or a very crazy user who does 300 posts a day ). Let's hope for the best!
