Edited Video Info

Mr. Batson recently posted more information regarding videos on the Tribe Contest 1st Score Ranking thread. It's a little different from what Keeneye said, so I'm posting it here just to make sure that everyone sees the new info.

Mr. Batson said:
About the Video component: I recently received an email about the total number of points that could be earned by creating a video to promote and of CH and My books, including Spider King. In my response, I may have misled, b/c I've been seeing tribe members quoting all kinds of GIGANTIC points! Here's the real deal about videos:

A. A video about one book by one person = 2000 points.

B. If one person did a separate video for each of our books, that would 2000 X 8 books = 16000 points total.

C. In order for a video to count, you must post it on at least TWO very visible sites: YouTube, Tangle, Facebook, that kind of thing. But it's NOT, I repeat, NOT 2000 per video, per person, per site posted!!!! Example: Biff makes a Spider King video (2,000 points), but he posts the video in ten places. He does NOT earn 20,000 points!! But rather, he earns, 2000 points. The most any ONE person could earn for his Tribe with videos is 16,000 vanadils.

D. In addition, videos must achieve a level of quality that represents the book in a favorable light. If the video is cheesey, people will likely think the book is cheesey.

E. Extra points will be awarded for higher quality videos; points may be deducted for lame videos.

I hope that clears things up.
