I just noticed that the /dance command doesn't have very many ways of expressing itself, especially when all we can do is walk, /sit, and do Jim-Dale's swag walk. Therefore, I have decided to create a contest in which Knights will move their character in what they view as a 'dance'. You can spin in place. You can run in circles. You can orbit someone. You can even chase snipes while yelling, "Come back Boswick!". I don't care. As long as you think it's dancing, it's dancing!

Here's the criteria for which I will be judging:
1) Armor: I will judge armor on how well the helmet/torso match, how well the colors blend, and if any accessories on the armor are incorporated into the dance. For example, a person with a Wolver Tail may lose, while a person with a Wolver Tail who chases said tail will definitely grab my attention.

2) Vocals: Competitors may copy-paste certain /yell or /emote commands before their performance. They may then use these commands to direct the judge's attention to a certain aspect of their dance/armor/environment.

3) Movement: I will judge movement based on the variety of movements, or the way it is portrayed. For example, a person dancing as a Snipe would be perfectly fine spinning in place. However, a person attempting to be a Wolver would definitely not spin in place. Furthermore, I will also view the different types of motion (walking forward, walking backwards, strafing, spinning while strafing, etc.).

Finally:
4) Environment: All dances will take place somewhere within Haven's Town Square. That means dancers can take advantage of the AH, of the Alchemy Machine, of Boost, and of Monomi, to name a few. Those who incorporate environment into their dance will also receive my attention.

Prizes:
1st place: 200 CE
2nd place: 100 CE
3rd place: 75 CE

Runners-up may be chosen if there are a sizeable amount of competitors.
