now that SDT 2020 is over and done with its time to reveal the methodology of how to actually win! (or really just how I think I won). The purpose of creating this thread is not for me talk down on any other method (because more efficient methods will make themselves apparent sooner or later) or to talk down or criticize participants of any of the SDT's in the past, but rather to elucidate a vision of Void's real potential to churn out story-telling masters- by maybe perhaps starting a tradition of tournament winners of speaking frankly of their process and allowing people to take it or leave it, test it, improve upon it, or criticize it.

What I hope this would do is remove the mystery of how to get from point A to point B creatively and quicken the development of interest and also remove the fog of guesswork from the process. Experimentation and doing your own research will always be important to understanding how the creative process works for you and we cannot deny the importance of following the gut-hunches of the elusive intuition, what I'm proposing is doing all of the above more efficiently and intelligently through the dispensation of information that tournament winners can give to their fellows in order to make void even more than it is. That is all.

I'm going to use a lot of words such as "value" and "investment". I want to impress upon you readers that entertainment, ie, reading comics, is an energetic trade-off. You spend your good time on this mortal plane to create something that people will read, and those people will spend their own time upon this mortal plane, reading that comic. The trade off here is that they spend x amount of time for y amount of entertainment value, they're expecting an equivalent exchange with your product with energy that they will never get back. They will never get that time back, there's no refund on time. That is why for me it is critically important for you to begin understanding that you as a creator have a responsibility and that the sense of responsibility is encoded in how i use value and investment in what I'm going to say in this. So here we go.

I was wondering if this is a thing that's benign or frowned down upon in the community. Is it alright to readapt old void battles that you created?
Strip away all the characters and void-related things and recreate it with different characters and different motifs. What are your opinions on this?
