Torchwood vs Class Anniversary Battle! (Coming soon)

[shauny]

Both Torchwood and Class celebrate their anniversaries on the 22nd October.
This calls for a BATTLE!

Starting on the 22nd October, we will be hosting a battle to find out who is the winner, Torchwood or Class?

Each spinoff earns points whenever someone completes and rates for the first time, repeats, or reviews a story from their range. We will have a live leaderboard for the week, and announce the winner on the 28th October.

Now, Torchwood has far more stories (and more fans…) so Class will get a handicap boost, each of its stories will be worth 5 points. A determined group of people will be able to shift the leaderboard in Class’s favour!

To make sure it’s not affected too much by new people joining and filling in their backlog, only verified forum users or patrons will count towards the scoring. If you want to participate, get verified by creating an introduction topic!

There will also be three new badges and Titles to unlock during the event:

Death by Torchwood

Complete and rate for the first time, repeat or review a Torchwood story that features a member of the original Series 1 cast on 22nd October.

(The “cast” requirement is JUST for the badge, not for the tournament)

The Bunghole of Time

Complete and rate for the first time, repeat or review a Class story on 22nd October.

Torchwood VS Class

Participate in the weekly battle, completing 2 eligible actions for either Team Torchwood or Team Class (or both).

Which team do you hope will win?

Tournament Rules

Only members who are verified or become a patron before the closing date count. This is to stop people cheating by creating extra accounts, and to make sure that new users who are simply filling in their backlog and aren’t part of the tournament are counted as little as possible (although some of that may happen).

We will continually check to ensure people aren’t trying to game the system. Anyone who completes more stories than seem possible in a single period may be removed from scoring.

We only count 1 repeat per story per person, so don’t try to spam that repeat button.

It’s all just a bit of fun, please enjoy and don’t take it too seriously!

This is so cool!

Time for a first rewatch of class!

[Tian]

I love this battle format. I hope we will do more battles.

[turlough]

Love this idea, I’m honestly not sure who I want to win so maybe I’ll do some stories for both. I definitely see this as a sign to carry on with the Class audios though, it’s been a while​

[Muddyviolet]

Oh this sounds like suchba fun idea! I look forward to seeing Team Torchwood triumph!

[ImpossibleGirl]

Oooh. This sounds cool. Might do something for this.

[Blossom]

My beloved underrated Class!! I’ve done every audio for both shows, so time to do some prose!

[DoctorDisco]

Oooh, I’ve been doing my NuWho rewatch/mostly first time spin-off watch in release order for now, but I might have to skip ahead so I can take part in this. I definitely am excited to watch both and do some of the audios, I had a lot of fun with Torchwood series one recently and I haven’t seen any of Class, so that’s brand new territory for me.

[shauny]

Whilst Class is on the back foot because of the fewer stories and lower popularity, if enough people use this battle as an excuse to do it for the first time, it could win!

[Muddyviolet]

@shauny

Whilst

Plus I think us badge collectors will absolutely be out for all of the badgdes so Class will benefit from that too!

[Tian]

Team Class lets go!!!

Team Class gather!

[image] Today Torchwood VS Class Anniversary Battle! (Coming soon) was announced, and this is our chance to prove Class’s superiority. This is a topic where we can gather our watches and cheer on each other as we complete as many Class stories as we can! I made a playlist with all Class stories! Can someone complete the whole range in a week? Don’t start before the duel goes live, but after that, go crazy!!!

@shauny

Which team do you hope will win?

If Torchwood doesn’t win there will be blood (/j)

[Muddyviolet]

@shauny

Complete and rate for the first time, repeat or review a Torchwood story that features a member of the original Series 1 cast on 22nd October.

Also just to clarify does this for Torchwood mean it needs to be stories featuring the S1 cast as in actors, or the S1 cast as in chracters?

[Tian]

The blood will flow down the streets of Cardiff!!!

[TheJanitorsBatcave]

Ooo I’ve never watched Class so I will definitely be taking part in this. I’ve also plenty of Torchwood audios and novels to get through too!

[deltaandthebannermen]

And to clarify, does that include Suzie?

[shauny]

Yep! Suzie is an original team member

(This requirement is just for the badge! Just to be clear!)
