EPISODE 10
FUTURESEX/LOVESOUNDS:
Among many other qualities, in order to be a Top Member you need to be able to demonstrate creativity, forward-thinking and a love of music. In this challenge you will be required to show that you have all three qualities, by explaining how you believe we will listen to our music in the future! This has changed so much over the years, from purchasing vinyl records, cassette tapes and CDs to digitally downloading individual tracks and albums through iTunes and streaming through YouTube and Spotify. Some things have changed drastically, while others have stood the test of time. Your challenge is to PM me your ideas of how we will listen to our music 10 YEARS from now, making sure to include what forms will carry on being used, and what forms will have been invented. Entries are to be 2-4 paragraphs in length, and will be judged on the basis of how creative yet practical they are.

CONTESTANT EULOGIES:
If every remaining contestant was to die leave ATRL forever today, what would you say about them at their ATRL funerals? For this challenge, you will write each remaining contestant an ATRL eulogy.
How do you think they have done as contestants? Do you think they were good ATRL Members, and did that reflect them as a person overall? Try to be respectful in stating your opinions.

 Example EntryObjective of Challenge
The objective of this challenge is to let contestants all know exactly how they feel about each other -- their honest opinions. The game is nearing the finale, so it'd be an excellent way to see once-and-for-all how everyone feels about their fellow contestants.
~*~Hugamari's Contestant Eulogy~*~
Dancehall Queen | What is there to be said about Dancehall Queen...he stood out. That is evident by the fact that he was one of the few non-moderator members to have their own smiley. They came into this competition a top-contender for the prize, and stayed that way through the whole competition. He constantly kept contestants on their toes, and the judges in awe with his brilliantly-formatted entries -- that's not to say the content wasn't great, either!
Rather than just being a stand-out, he was also kind. He was one of the few contestants I would've actually felt comfortable approaching on their wall or through PM. It was members like him that made ATRL a great place to be. |
Bold...bold was a good word to describe Latch. His entries in Top Member didn't know the meaning of 'safe', and it paid off for him many of times, but came back to haunt him on occasion. Bold is also a great word to describe his presence on ATRL. He wasn't confined to the 125x125 box that had captivated many others, and he started a revolution with his rounded-edge avatars.
I also learned that bold was a suitable word to describe him as a person. He was definitely daring. | 
Latch |
Sam Jay | Sam Jay always seemed under-rated to me. Although he mostly always excelled, he barely got any credit for it. I wanted him to know that someone thought highly of him...I thought highly of him. Maybe someday, he'll get the credit he deserves.
With that said, I liked how much thought and emotion he put into his posts. It gave him a personality among a sea of cosigners and recyclers. More people should put as much thought into their posts as he did...it'd make ATRL a more stimulating place of discussion. |
Eccentric is a word I think suited MMMinaj perfectly. He reminded me of members like Lil Misty and ks_dollar in that regard. That's not to say he was just a different version of them; he had his own, distinct personality. If you saw a MMMinaj post, you'd KNOW it was a MMMinaj post.
Furthermore, you could've easily spotted a MMMinaj avatar. He represented Mother Cosgrove and heptagons to the point where he practically had them trademarked. When a user becomes that synonymous with something, that's how you know you've spotted a top member. |

CONCEPT THREADS:
Some of the best threads on ATRL are the threads that can be posted in everyday and have continuous discussions. For example the "Worst AVI's On ATRL" thread has become an ATRL staple and synonymous with the name of ks_dollar. Some more examples include the Gif Request thread, Random Thoughts and ATRL's Most Addicted Members. Having a successful concept thread can really help you get out there as a Top Member! A good concept thread is something that is interesting, and can offer something other thread's cannot. Fan base threads and spin-offs of previously existing concept threads will not be received pleasantly.
I would like an explanation of your thread, and why you think it could become a long lasting thread. (This is what the judges will be looking at)
Also you must actually MAKE the thread. The more successful your thread is, the stronger effect it will have on your average rank! (For example Matty had an average rank of 3 from the judges but his thread was the #1 most successful thread, making his average this week 2.0).
1st - +1
2nd - +2
3rd - +2
4th - +3
5th - +3
I would like your explanations & thread link by...

Forum Improvement:
If you've used the forum for any period of time, you know that the most requested feature on the forum is quote notifications. After many years, it is soon becoming a reality. For this challenge you will propose the next feature that will enhance a member's browsing and/or posting experience on ATRL. Think BB Codes we don't currently have now, features you enjoy or see on other forums, or even changes to our current sections. Along with sceencaps, you may link to forum developers' pages that show a feature or to another forum that has the feature in use. Explain why the feature would improve ATRL.

FEATURES:
Part of what makes the ATRL experience so great is the site features.
Your task this week is to come up with an idea for a feature that could take that experience to the next level. It can be a new section, a code, a rule, etc. You must provide a well written, comprehensible description of your proposed feature. Graphics/a visual representation are a plus, but aren't necessary and won't count against you.

It was awful having to pick someone.  But a Top Member's gotta do what a Top Member's gotta do... even the person who I ended up selecting, I still feel that they have a lot of potential to be a Top Member. Perhaps just not as much as the others for the really nit-picky reasons I highlighted.
...
Submitted both my rankings and most / least potential.
Good luck, everyone. Final four is relying on this.

Thanks; and @ the bold, it would've been great if you listed one as a favorite and hated the other.

Should we rank them together, or?
