Hey guys! I hope the first week has been a blast for you all!

As now that we're coming up to the halfway point of the two week Rut event, I figured now would be a good time to bring up points and faults that we should discuss as a community so that we can better the next half of the experience.

Here are things that I'd like to discuss:

Judges
A good few of you have been fantastic. There have been some Judges that know how to utilize the power in their position. However throughout the week, I've seen a lot of Judges who didn't, and I think that's something we should aspire to improve on!
For example, I've seen some who might stand aside and expect to be herded. Maybe that's part of your character, but what if your character is capable of more?
The power in the Judges mean they can decide the outcome of a battle. They can choose who's the winner, they can decide where to set the stage, or shun combatants who try to fight in the middle of their group.
I'd like to see more judges interact with the other classes; rather than allow fights go on for too long, the Judges can intervene, and drive who they deem the looser away from the arena. Perhaps we could aim for that?


Challengers
Another problem I've noticed is that some Challengers fight with the persistence of Competitors. The difference between Challengers and Competitors is that Challengers work with speed, and wit. They generally don't fight too much, but aim to harass and perhaps move in and try to impress the Judges behind the Competitor's backs.
Competitors are more about brute strength and power. They're the ones who fight with persistence.


Sexism
Now I know it's within the nature of many characters to say, "not hit a girl". Or "flirts with the ladies". But I'd really like to try and eliminate this. If anything I'd like us all to get more in the mind track of the Rut being.. say, "TEF's got Talent!", instead of a chance to go get the booty.
