Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls; I'm sure many of you have wished to work with someone new, especially someone well known and respected, or maybe just someone who's gotten your attention and appreciation of their work. Perhaps you aren't well know but would like to meet and collaborate with some people, show what you got? Are you just looking for something a little different? While not all of these can be promised, it would be nice to be able to do some of these, yes? I give you, McBacon Jam.



The idea and goal of McBacon jam is to give people a chance (and excuse) to team up with people they wouldn't normally team up with an give them an idea of what its like to work with them. Hopefully, this encourages less cliques and more willingness to diversify collaborations.



Here are the basics:

• This event will run from 1/21/2015 to 2/11/2015 (3 weeks because everyone been getting sick and McBacon loves you)
  
• I will announce a theme on the 21st; that is when your team can officially begin.
  
• Team sizes must be a minimum of 2 with a maximum of 4 (remember, this is about collaborations). Solo entries will not be accepted for this.
  
• You may be in only 1 team.
  
• You may submit some basic info about yourself so that others can get a better idea about you at a glance.
  
• Just to set the record once and for all, there IS NO APPLICATON OR APPLICATION PROCESS. all info is provided voluntarily and for the benefit of others.
  
• If you already have a team decided, be sure all members join said team.
  
• If you dont have a team, but want to join one, make a team with just you in it. if someone joins your team, make sure everyone in said team talks about it too.
  If no one does join said team, I will be talking to everyone without a team and helping everyone get teamed up.
  
• If you don't care one bit about who you're teamed up with, consider going into reserve. Being in reserve allows me to makes sure anyone that wants to be in a team can. plus, it grants you the best trophy in this event!
  
• Assuming this is a success, don't expect to team up with the exact same people every time. Each new jam means different team arrangements!
  
• If bizarre circumstances occur or if you're having some team issues, let me know and I will take care of things accordingly.
  

Badges!
Only 1 badge will be handed out, depending on the circumstances:

• Given to people on a team who at least turns in something remotely playable and tries to meet the theme.
  

McBacon Jam Pioneer: 25 MS

• Given to people on a team that end up making something and meets the theme quite well (I expect this one to be the one handed out mostly)
  

McBacon Jam Reserve: 30 MS
