CATS

[soulping]

[ You sit down at the table and suddenly realize you’re going to have a bad time.

Jo’s voice filters over to you. ]

Hey….so….I’m gonna need you guys to be my sub-Echoes, okay? And kinda score this one for me? So you’re going to eat all the food that the teams create, or at least try it!

Don’t worry, I’m absolutely positively not going to let you get poisoned. I’m gonna make sure all the meals don’t hurt you!! And you’ll get shards just for participating! And real food not whatever awful food you have to taste test here I’m so sorry so you don’t starve. I promised Princess I’d keep you healthy!

So...this game’s for you. Good luck! ♥

Rules + Judging Criteria

[soulping]

You have now become the judges of Chopped, god have mercy on your souls.

AFTER EACH TEAM ROUND:
- You will be responsible for judging the team’s submissions by eating them based on their 1-10 scores, whether or not they used all of their ingredients, and the artfulness of their ~explanation~. (blurbs and 1-10 ratings will be in a google doc for your ease.)
- All Cats must agree on their victors.
- You may select 4 victors per round!

JUDGING CRITERIA:
Technically this is your game so you can do what you want as long as everyone agrees if you decide ICly on a better option, but here are some helpful guidelines!

- Jo would like you to put your HIGHEST consideration into how creative the presentation is (the plating of the meal, what they make + the exciting factor of the Blurb). This is for fairness for those who can’t cook. Please put people who manage to get every item onto the plate ahead of those who don’t, UNLESS the person who doesn’t somehow has an above average cooking skill/blurb (based on your subjective discretion).
- However, if you have several teams that you can’t possibly narrow down to 5, please use cooking skill score to determine your victors.
- Two teams will be winning shards based on separate criteria that Jo will be doing independently so don’t worry that 5 teams is a few short of half.

WAITING PERIOD

[soulping]

[ As the teams make their first meals...you can comment to yourselves. ]

[ You are also free now (and for the rest of the game) to go talk smack about how bad/good the food is. ]
