PROLOGUE
Long ago, a man's fantasy became a reality in a form never seen before: Kitchen Coliseum, a giant arena where chefs can cook up new original Pokemon teams and see them tested. The motivation for spending his fortune to create Kitchen Coliseum was to encounter new original teams which could be called true artistic creations.
To realize his dream, he secretly started choosing the top chefs of various building styles, and he named his men the Iron Chefs. These Iron Chefs possess invincible culinary skills, and they are:

Kitchen Coliseum is the arena where Iron Chefs await the challenges of master chefs from around the world. Challengers must build around the theme ingredient of the round. Using all their senses, skill and creativity, they are to prepare artistic teams never tasted before.
Every battle, reputations are on the line in Kitchen Coliseum, where master chefs pit their artistic creations against each other. What inspiration does this round's challenger bring? And how will the Iron Chef fight back?
The heat will be on!
Hello, everyone! Chairman Euphonos here, and welcome to the new installment of Iron Chef, this time in the Other Metagames community! This project allows the contestants to showcase their creative team building skills and to put their masterful creations to the test against some of the top builders in the realm of Camomons. Each round I will pick a motif to build around, and contestants will do their best to come up with an original, effective team around that theme.
The mechanics of the project will be shown below, so please take time to read everything.
STAGE 1.1: CHALLENGER SIGN-UPS
- This stage will last for three days.
- People who wish to participate in this team building project must sign up using this format (non-compliance to this format will not be accepted on any circumstance):
Discord ID: Euphonos#9726Time Zone: GMT +8
STAGE 1.2: CHALLENGER COOK-OFF
- This stage will take place if and only if sign-ups exceeded 12 challengers within the allotted sign-up period.
- The Chairman will hand out a personal message to each challenger. The personal message includes the secret ingredient to be built around.
- The challengers will have roughly 24 hours from the time the Chairman has sent the personal message (deadline will be posted in the personal message, too). Non-compliance to the deadline will forfeit a challenger's entry to the competition proper.
STAGE 2.1: LIVE TEAM BUILDING
- All twelve episodes of the team building project will take place in the Camomons channel of the Other Metagames Discord, where the Chairman selects a qualified challenger to take on first, and where the secret ingredient will be revealed there.
- The Challenger and the chosen (active) Iron Chef at the time will have 60 minutes to build a team based on the secret ingredient chosen by the Chairman.
- All teams, along with the brief description, will be sent via Discord PM.
STAGE 2.2: JUDGING
- The rates from the Panel of Judges will be posted in this thread, and the winner will be decided here and at the #announcement room of the Other Metagames Discord.
- The winner of each episode will be decided solely on the Judges' Evaluations, which comprises of Creativity, Essence, and Effectiveness.
The system is based on three separate categories in Creativity, Essence, and Effectiveness.
CREATIVITY (0-5 POINTS): Is your finished dish a delight never before tasted by our judges, or is it the same standard fare? Your goal is not to merely reheat an existing team, but to break boundaries and challenge standards. A team that was copied from a sample or tournament with a few minor changes should score poorly here, while a team full of new ideas could bring home as many as five points.
ESSENCE (0-5 POINTS): How well does your team use this round's theme? Is it merely tacked on to satisfy the tournament's requirements, or is it a fundamental part of how the team works? A team that barely uses the round's theme could end up with nothing here, while a team that not only uses the theme but redefines might win it all.
EFFECTIVENESS (0-10 POINTS): And now we're down to the real meat of the dish. How good is the team? This category is worth twice as much as the other two, because in the end, it doesn't matter how original your dish is - if it doesn't taste good, then people won't eat it. A team that will struggle to succeed in the current metagame, even against mediocre teams, might receive a zero here. On the other hand, show the judges how great your team is, and you could take home a full ten points.
The Panel of Judges will determine the final scores through the conformity method where they either agree or disagree with the initial rates until a certain point is given.

NOTES:
- Once an episode of the team building project has concluded, the rest of the challengers must wait for at least 36 hours before the next episode. This gives way for the judges to rate in a sound manner.
Sign-ups will end on May 5, Tuesday, 11:00 AM GMT -4.
What are you guys waiting for?
Allez, cuisine!
