Our skype group is big too, we'd love to have you aboard!
良い一日を!
The Slice of Life Club will be hosting a Cute Competition for the next seven weeks. It's pretty much going to be the same thing as our Moe Competition, except for the fact that characters from overly popular series weren't allowed in the contest (since they always win). It's time to give other cute girls a chance to shine. There are four different groups with 32 girls in each group. One girl from each group will go on as a finalist to face off against each other in two championship rounds. Our winner and finalists will get a special card edition in their honor and a spot on the club's layout.

Greetings, and welcome to the Summer Edition of the Namine's Café Newsletter
We have a whole bunch of events planned at the cafe, including another major character competition, an AMV competition, a new monthly 'Design a Game' attraction, as well as several more cool events. Also, because IMG tags our working again, we now have official badges for the cafe, and official members cards will be coming soon. The details for each of our event sare listed in the below spoilers:
Naine's Café Supporting Character Competition
Following the incredible success of the Moe Competition we held in the Spring, we've decided to follow that up with another competition. Last month, we held a vote on what type of character competition we should hold, and Supporting Character won hands down.
Here's how it works:
The competition takes place in two phases. The first phase is where everyone gets to nominate supporting characters for the competition. You can nominate up to 5 anime/manga characters, listed as supporting in the MAL database. They can be your favorites, or just characters that you believe are the most cool. You rank your nominees from 1 to 5. The ranking determines how many points each character gets, like so:
#1 choice is worth 5 points
#2 choice is worth 4 points
#3 choice is worth 3 points
#4 choice is worth 2 points
#5 choice is worth 1 point
The points each character gets from each members nomination are cumulative, and when the nominations are over, the points will be counted, and the top 32 characters will compete in a bracket style competition where then members vote on them in one on one competitions.
The nomination phase will last 15 days, starting on Tuesday, 7/1/2014, and will close on Wednesday, 7/16/2014. The first voting competition will start on Friday, 7/18/2014. A new competition will start every day, and each vote is open for 2 days. This means there Will be a total of 31 competitions to name a champion.
Here are the rules:
As stated above, you can nominate up to 5 supporting characters. It can be less than 5, but it cannot be more. Any character over the first 5 will be removed.
The nominee must be listed as Supporting in MAL. Furthermore, they must primarily be a supporting character. If they are listed as a supporting character in a series, but then the main character in like 5 other series, they don't count.
List the full name of each character to be nominated, as well as an anime that he/she/it is in. Hot-linking the character to their MAL page is welcome, but not required.
Only one nomination list per member, please.
No double nominating. Meaning that the same character is nominated as your 1st and 3rd choice. If this happens, the 2nd listing will be removed.
Winners & Awards:
If one of your nominees gets into the final four, you'll get a special card with her on it, custom designed to your preferences by the Namine's Cafe card makers. There will be special awards if you nominated the winning character, such as ebooks, custom AMVs, specially custom made banners, and other prizes
Please note, if you any questions on this, please contact militus, the cafe's event manager who will be managing the competition.
Namine's Café AMV Competition
With the Cafe's Song of the Weeks getting more and more popular, Sipi, our music admin, will be holding our first ever AMV competition. Similar to the moe & supporting character competitions, the AMV competition will be in two phases, a nomination phase and a tournament phase. However, there is a little catch, as well (keep reading :-)).
The nomination phase starts 07/10/2014 and will end when we get at least 30 AMVs for the first round preliminary vote, plus an optional 4 custom AMVs. After the nominations are over, there is going to be preliminary round voting where top 12-16 AMVs will be decided, depending on the next step.
The tournament will consist of 16 AMVs. However, If any members are willing to create a well made custom AMV for the competition, they will get one of the top slots in te tournament phase, as well as special awards and prizes (TBD) for taking the extra effort. If there are more than 4 custom AMVs, we will hold a small tournament to decide the top 4.
The top 16 will then have vs. battle tournament where the winner advances to the next round finally leaving the two finalists, and ultimately the winner.
Namine's Café Monthly 'Design a Game'
Namine's café is opening a game request thread. If you have a game design idea, feel free to post it in the thread. A vote will be held each month to decide which games are added, with the winners getting awards and prizes, including one prize of a Staff Admin position as the new cafe games manager.
Namine's Café Official Club Badges
Kitsune77, one of the cafe's most skilled card designers, has graciosuly designed official club badges for the cafe. Please Click Here to be redirected to the thread and order your badges. Kitsune will even resize your badges after they are created so that they will fit in your forum signature area.
While the badges will not immediately be needed for anything in the cafe, eventually, they may be needed to support things like ordering cards and playing in tournaments. Along with this, We will also be adding awards, prizes, and other special goodies for participation in the café in some events and deeds done in the café. Examples of the prizes may be custom made cards, badges, & banners, ebooks, custom AMVs, and many others
Namine's Café Official Steam Group Activities
As many of you are aware, the Cafe has it's own Steam Group. Please click here for more information on the Steam Group, and to get an invitation to it. We are currently planning some possible Steam game tournaments in the future, and feedback on this would be awesome. Also, we may be getting our Minecraft server back, as well.
The Slice of Life Club is hosting a Summer Camp Event from now until August! The event is basically a team vs team event. There will be events and game threads for members to earn points for their team in, and the team with the most points at the end of the event wins. The winning team will have a special card edition made for them in their honor.
What the event has to offer:
- The Summer Camp Event will have a Skype group. Only club members participating in the event will be allowed to join. We will host movie watching night events over Skype as a way for members to earn more points for their team, plus it's a great way to make some new friends on MAL.
Note: The Skype group is optional. Members do not have to join the group if they don't want to.
- Fun game threads just for the members participating in the event.
- A chance to earn graphic requests or exclusive cards.
- There will be a few card editions that only members participating in the event will be allowed to request from. They are: Kimono LE in June, Twintails LE in July and the winning team SE in August.
- Online Pokemon battles. We will be doing a special Pokemon battle weekend event on Pokemon Showdown.
- A chance to make some friends
