Ahhh, love…

It’s that time of the year again. Romance is in the air; you see hearts wherever you go, music is playing, and the scent of a dozen red roses mixes with the smell of chocolates and fine perfume. Those with special-someones are planning their sweet surprises and others are taking this opportunity as a chance to ask out their secret crushes. It’s a time of hope, joy, and sweet, shy love.

Also, fierce and deadly competition.

As such, you are cordially invited to join our first ever Valentine’s Day Dance, an Elimination Competition to discover who would make the best couple on KHV. Now, before you ask out your dates, I’ll just throw a wrench right into your plans straight off here:

All participants will be assigned a random partner.

I know this might not seem like fun for all you people with significant others on the site, but this really is the best way to make the competition fair and fun for everybody, and hey, give it a shot! You might find new friends, and if you end up competing against your significant other, well, a little healthy competition might just bring a fun new spark to your relationship. ;D

The competition will take place over three rounds, with a percentage of couples eliminated each round, two couples surviving the final round and moving on to a final stage of elimination; popular vote! The rounds will all consist of various challenges, testing your strength as a ‘couple.’ The first two challenges will be simple. Challenge one will be to coordinate with your partner and create a cutesy, matching couples profile theme, while challenge two will be a short questionnaire that will test how well you’ve gotten to know your partner. Those who survive to round three will be in for a real treat, as the third challenge is going to be a collaboration project with your partner, and will be your choice between a work of art or a short story featuring you and your partner at the Valentine’s Day Dance, or a love song duet you sing together.

There will also be an After Party thread in the spamzone, for spectators and eliminated couples to comment on the action and talk about their favorite challenges. This thread will also serve as the base of the final popular vote. Once the third round is complete and the two survivors determined, a poll will go up in the After Party thread, and all spectators and eliminated couples may vote for which of the two couples they liked best, the winner of this vote named the KHV Power Couple of the year!

It’s not just gonna be fame and glory, though, because as prizes, we have three brand new pins just to launch off this event!

This pin will be awarded to everyone who signs up and participates in the competition.

This pin will be awarded to all four members who survive the third and final challenge with their partners.

This pin will be awarded to both halves of the KHV Power Couple, the winners of the Popular Vote!

Signing up for this event is easy; you just have to post in this thread that you want to join, and your name will be added to the roster!

Just a couple quick rules:

1. No fighting, especially not with your partner. If you are assigned a partner that you just can’t work with, please calmly send me a private message explaining the problem within 24 hours of the assignment, so that I can try and find volunteers for a trade. If no trade can be arranged, just try to work together as best you can, and who knows? You might just end up friends by the end of it.
2. All entries for the challenges must comply with KHV’s content rules, which means keep everything under PG-13.
3. Really give it your all! If you sign up, your partner is relying on you, so don’t come at this half-heartedly. This is your chance to shine in the Elimination-Round-Spotlight, give us all a show we can enjoy!
4. If you miss your deadline, you won’t get an extension, so don’t ask for one. You’ve got one shot at each round, and if you miss out, that’s it. Them’s the breaks.

Sign ups are gonna close on February First, when partners will be assigned and the first challenge starts.

Now then, who’s in? We need at least ten sign-ups in order for this event to work, but the more people we have, the more fun it’ll be!
