Project Gaidin
|
Project Gaidin was a competition for the male Junior Members and an entertaining show for many other members. It was going on between October 2010 and March 2011 when the winner was announced at 10th Anni.
The concept was that every week the participants met two challenges that were tied to one of the membership groups. The first challenge was the Showdown, and the winner there got some kind of advantage in the next challenge, the Deatch Match. After the Deatch Match the judges chose the one who had done the weakest performance and that person had to leave the competition. Every week there also was a commentary thread for the audience to talk in, with confessionals, fangirl squees, bettings and polls.
The judges were:
- Marrow Rahien, Captain of Recruits
- Deoan Kakarot, Captain of Soldiers
- Serenla Tamowith, Director of Membership
- A guest judge from the community group of the week.

Biographies
With the purpose of giving everyone a chance to get to know the contestants better, the contestants should create a soundtrack with five songs that best described who they were. They should also pick three songs that they thought described the three judges.

It wasn't the judges that should pick the winner this week, instead all of the contestants got to vote on one of their competitors. The votes were to be based only on the second part of the challenge, the songs they had chosen for the judges.
But Paderic and Locus got the same number of votes, so in the end the judges had to vote as well. Paderic became the winner of the first challenge, gaining immunity from being eliminated Week 1.
Week 1 - The Red Ajah
- Guest Judge
- Adriana "Red" Sedai
Showdown
A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words
This was a challenge where the contestants should use photographs, art and other visual mediums to show what the Red Ajah meant to them. It should be at least 5 but no more than 10 pictures and they could not use a picture that had already been used by another contestant.
Paderic won this challenge, Jermaine was the loser and it was in the end of this Showdown period Bryce got disqualified.
Death Match
A Thousand Words is Worth A Thousand Words
The contestants shold write a story about how Adriana Sedai had got a mission from the Amyrlin and they were her escort/protector. Each contestant got a different genre to write the story in. As Paderic won the Showdown he got the advantage that he could exchange his genre with anyone else's, and as Jermaine was the loser everyone got the change to choose his genre instead of their own.
