Myachi Master Shred Contest: GO!

by Crazy Ivan

First a quick thanks to Draco for bringing this up on the forum the other day and inadvertently lighting a fire under my butt to get this thing rocking and rolling.

Had a meeting with all the Myachi Masters last night and I simply asked, "By a show of hands, how many people want in on the Myachi Master Shred video contest?" And within about 4 seconds, every hand was raised.

Here are the rules that we agreed on:

• Videos must be between 3 and 4 minutes.
• Each video must contain at least 60 seconds of unedited shredding.
• Videos must be completed and uploaded by June 7th
• Videos cannot be uploaded before June 7th.
• Videos must be worthy of the title "Myachi Master"

That's pretty much it.  We've given the masters free licence to do whatever they want.  Noodles had some pretty cool ideas of doing some "So You Think You Can Dance?" type stuff to make it tougher but we decided that maybe we'd do that for our next video competition.

Of course, the loyal reader has a part to play in this as well.  The videos will all be up by Tuesday, June 7th.  Voting will open up on Wednesday, early in the morning.  We will be asking Myachi Maniacs to vote for their favorite and the winner will have bragging rights amongst the various Myachi Masters.

In order to be eligible to vote for this contest, you will have to be registered on the Myachi Forums.  Accounts registered after June 1st will not be eligible for voting so if you want in on this you have to register soon.  We also ask that before you vote you watch all the videos.  It wouldn't be fair to all of the contestants if you voted after only watching the 2 or 3 from your favorite Myachi Masters.

And there will be several videos to watch.  The field of participating Myachi Masters are:

• Animal
• Bamboo
• Bones
• Crazy Ivan
• Maverick
• Monk
• Noodles

No word yet on if we're going to talk Pinky or Kid Myach into throwing up a video, but I honestly think that it wouldn't be fair for us if Pinky got to do one... who wouldn't vote for Pinky?

I also feel like I should tackle this one before hand as well: Mantis isn't in on this one.  I know that at least a few people will ask me that, but this is a contest amongst the Myachi Masters and one of the benefits is that we will be able to trash talk if we win.  Trash talking Mantis is no fun.

However, if Mantis should decide to put up a video of 3 to 4 minutes with at least 60 seconds of unedited shredding on June 7th just to show us all up, well, I guess there's not much I could do about that...
