The "sneaky bastard" winner of '37 and their (reward? punishment?) prize apron + a visual of how i think the voting chits would look like

[carrion-art]

I'm tentatively naming the contest the Manda'yaim Tiingilaar Akaan, or "mandalore tiingilaar war" and as such will be tagging future posts w/ that

more exposition on winner/winning, BC I keep thinking about this:

The winner is decided by popular vote! there are a couple different ways to win; over all best on planet, spiciest, and most stolen chits.

see, every attendee is given two chits when they arrive, and you vote by leaving your chit at your selected booth. there are electronics on the chit that register it to the booth it's left at, but it only counts as a vote if the booth is still in possession of it at the end of the contest.

so a real strategy is to have a sneaky mando'ade on your team there just to run around snagging chits off of other booths without them realizing (to make this less of an outright brawl, there are rules about getting caught and false accusations)

at the end of the contest, every clan/team submits the chits they defended, and winners are announced & given their prizes

the overall winner "jatnese be jatnese" gets the solid beskar spoon, which is promptly run away with to barricade bc there's absolutely a "steal the spoon" competition

to add to that^^ whoever has the spoon gets to host the next competition!

the winner of the spiciest "janadne" category gets honor and bragging rights (winners have been known to add a flaming sigil onto their armor as a tribute)

the winner of the most stolen chits award is given an apron in the most eye searing, neon, uv reactive, reflective color the hosts could find, which they are then required to wear if they enter the competition the next year

Mandalorians have a system wide Tiingilaar competition, and it'd the only time you can get so many of them in one place without politics causing brawls

of course there are still the brawls and blood fueds caused by dissing clan recipes, and there's always a few attempts at seducing recipes out of people

the stew vs casserole debate is the equivalent to beans or no beans in chili

the prize is a solid beskar spoon, and bragging rights
