Spin-Off Festival Info
This is difficult to explain, but in order to understand, you must understand Sweeps in the television industry.
This will, in theory, be the Community's Sweeps.
During Sweeps, shows will usually introduce big storylines to attract large amounts of viewers to their show.
For example, in The O.C., Marissa (Mischa Barton) went through a lesbian phase with Alex (Olivia Wilde).
Many shows do things like this. During the Festival, before your episodes, make sure you include that it was a Festival episode in your post.
So one part of the Festival will be the AMAZING episode aspect with jaw-dropping storylines, etc. Another aspect will be great spin-off games! That's what this forum is for. The staff (moderators, admins) will be making them, starting May 1st. Make sure to participate! You can receive special emblems.
Until then, get the creative juices flowing for big things in your spin-offs. Feel free to comment here.
Wikipedia wrote:Sweeps
Electronic metering technology is the heart of the Nielsen ratings process. Two types of meters are used: set meters capture what channel is being tuned, while People Meters go a step further and gather information about who is watching in addition to the channel tuned.
Diaries are also used to collect viewing information from sample homes in many television markets in the United States, and smaller markets are measured by paper diaries only. Each year Nielsen processes approximately 2 million paper diaries from households across the country for the months of November, February, May and July — also known as the "sweeps" rating periods. Seven-day diaries (or eight-day diaries in homes with DVRs) are mailed to homes to keep a tally of what is watched on each television set and by whom. Over the course of a sweeps period, diaries are mailed to a new panel of homes each week. At the end of the month, all of the viewing data from the individual weeks is aggregated.
This local viewing information provides a basis for program scheduling and advertising decisions for local television stations, cable systems, and advertisers.
In some of the mid-size markets, diaries provide viewer information for up to three additional “sweeps” months (October, January and March).
Note: The February 2009 sweeps period was moved to March so that the ratings would not be affected by any problems created by the February 17th switchover of the USA's analog broadcast television signals to digital. When, in early February, the digital transition date was moved to June 12, the "February" sweeps period for 2009 remained in March.

Re: Spin-Off Festival Info
Also, because it is a festival, you have to have fun! Make games! Post your spin offs! And because it is for spin offs, I will post the Spin Off Winners here before the topic where the actual awards are being held.

Actually you can post them here, but it's optional. If you do post it here, you use the same thread each festival and only post the new episodes. But, again, it's optional.
MORE INFORMATION
The Festival doesn't open until May 1st, so no posting. You will see construction going on, topics being opened, ect. But like all festivals/carnivals, it takes preparing and planning so no posting here until midnight, May 1st.

Re: Spin-Off Festival Info
Disagree with first part. The whole point of having your own topics for spin-offs is viewers having a library of your show and being able to see episodes when they want to. Doing that would defeat the purpose. Noting that they're part of the Festival is enough.Dragiiin DURR HURR wrote:that70sguy92 wrote:In your spin-offs' respective threads.

The second part I do agree with, though. You'll see topics pop up here, but they'll be locked until that faithful day... May 1st.

Only admins and mods will make the main topics. Once the festival opens, you may make new games, open "chats" and bla bla bla.

And you can make rides, Steel! I think that's a great idea but I'm not certain on how that will work you.

... If it's ended, it belongs in the Shipyard. If not, it belongs in Current Spin-Offs.
