Snaildom GOM Stage 1 - Summer 2020
17th July 2020, 06:59 PM
Hello Readers! Welcome to Snaildom GOM Summer 2020! Today was interrupted by the CloudFlare crash, but it luckily still took place afterwards!
What is GOM?
Each season, a three-day long competition is held where teams of more than 3 users compete for the rank of ‘Moderator’. Finalists are chosen in the 5th task of the last day, stage 3, and are questioned separately about what they would do if they were a moderator or why they seem to outshine the rest. During the last task of the last day, the finalists do one final task where they and only them compete- the traditional: Run the Pizza Parlor. This stage is to test how well the finalists can cope with stress as there are up to 50 users in the room each asking different things at once. Finally, the finalists meet back at the office, the top 5 are evaluated in-front of everyone. After getting everyone's hopes up and changing his mind countless times, the new moderator is selected by Damen's infamous 'gut feeling', thus the name Game of Moderators. This competition began in 2013 with winner Journey and remains a thing 5 years later.
(using Zen's explanation for OldCP Gom, it's basically the same thing; just less users)
