Journey of ownership 2 - Rising Star - Part 2D (REVIEWS ON HOLD)

[Knugcab]

I feel that I have to step in here and say a little word.

Now, I am not the one that feel that everything has to be heavily regulated, but you do have a point here.

At the end of the segment, a winner will be declared and will be given a chance to continue or move to another round. This is up to the winner to decide, if they can’t take over the next round the runner up will take it instead, and so on. (like usual CSR or any running challenge rules)

This was maybe not from the rule set from the original JOC, but from Banned’s suggestions since the challenge was his idea, and as a host for the first JOC, I agreed with him, only with this addition

@Knugcab

Each character must be played for at least 3 rounds. That’s because I feel like it won’t be any “journey” with less than 3. One round would only be a CSR ripoff, two rounds not enough to build a story. Three rounds feels like the absolute minimum needed to build up a story about someone’s car life. Of course, more rounds are both allowed and encouraged.

So. In my eyes it is borderline stepping out of the original ruleset to end the life of a character without asking the host for the next round for permission first. If the host-to-be wants to end the current JOC and move to a new character, sure, then I guess either the last host or the next one could write the epilogue to close up the JOC (which could be agreed upon between the old and the new host, which one that should do it).

Now, I don’t really think that what is done now is a disaster, I feel like it is already done and we don’t need Zombie Kenneth returning to pull off a JOC2E. But I think that it is worth thinking about in the future. Maybe the winner (or whoever the next host will be) had laid out plans for continuing with the current character and then it is not a very nice thing to kill it off.

But JOC is still a fairly fresh challenge form, so hey, some learning by doing in the first rounds might as well be hard to avoid, so not looking to start a fight here, just giving some opinions, being the one pulling off the challenge form (even though the idea in itself wasn’t mine).
