Alas! The person who goes by the name of Phonox has quite a very good idea for the mighty Josiah! The person who is mashing the keys on his keyboard at this moment likes the brilliant idea of taking some of the very best posts from every one of the Week of Randomnesses days then compiling them up into one great post at the end of the Week of Randomness to show all of the posters who had the the best of the best posts of the certain days of the Random Week of PV!
Also, Alas, Phonox is right again, to a partial extent, I most probably will win the PV Week of Randomness because the theme for most of the days are in his league, such as Hillbilly day, 3rd person day, and today, my probably best day, for I am ever explaining something in overly long speeches to get to a simple point! But, unfortunately, the user that goes by the name of Phonox is also wrong in the statement about me always. always being online, for, sadly I am not! I go to bed at 2am after everyone that uses these forums leaves, the last usually being AK, I then wake up at anywhere from the hours of 10am to noon and then get online about 10 to 20 minutes afterwords, then you also have to add in all the time that I am not on when I leave to go to the store, then to church and even examples such as today when I left for 2 whole hours to go eat out with my family which only contains of me, my father and my mother, anyways, I shall now finish this rant with a dot about 3 pixels wide and 4 pixels tall in size to indicate the end of a sentence and post.

To be perfectly honest, people who spend the entire contest period talking about how they're going to win annoy me. And, while I've never let that bias my judging, there has been times when people have gotten so carried away with it that I've been seriously tempted to reduce their score because of it. I've never done so, but you probably don't want to push me on it. Fair warning and all that.

As for judging criteria, this is NOT King of the Forums. It's not a contest to see how many posts you can make. I don't even track exact post totals for The Week of Randomness. My daily judging is based on several things. Number of posts is one, but other include length (depending on the theme) and quality of posts, how well people do sticking to the theme (breaking the theme, outside of threads such as RPs, where it's ok, isn't good), if the posts they made were particularily complex or clever, etc. Nether Silver nor Doodle, the previous winners made the most posts the years they won. So, while making a lot of posts certainly won't hurt, so long as they're good posts and stick to the theme, it's no guarenteed victory either.

I will keep that in my mind, almighty Josiah, while I use my fingers to press the keys on the board of keys on my laptop therefore commanding my laptop to project the correct and corresponding letter to appear on the screen therefore allowing it to be compiled into a post and sent over the internet so that other people that may be visiting the forums are able to read it in the language known as English.

I suppose I should probably edit the first post to add in tommorow's theme. Meh. I'll get it in a minute...or not.

If I was the judge, I would take away points for everypost made, especially from those who were extremely apathetic, for it shows that they actually care enough about the theme and winning and are not at all being apathetic. Take it all away, just for the heck of it.

Then why, I ask, are you also posting about those things? For it shows that you care even more about things than the people that say they do not at all, not that I care in the slightest about how much you care about these things, I am just pointing the fact out to you.

Because I'm not trying to win! Don't you understand that? Not everyone is in this competition, and I really don't feel like participating in this theme. Maybe Friday's theme, because it seems fun.

I'm running over to Brawl in the forums, for sanctuary. I'll still stay and defend here, though.
