I have now recieved both teams pitches.
I will deliberate for a short while, after which we will enter the boardroom. There will be some questions I will need to ask both teams, and in particular the project managers. After these, I will reach a decision about which team has won, and which team has lost.

Good evening teams, and welcome to your first boardroom. This has been an interesting experience, and i hope that everybody has been able to utilise their skills in this first task.
Before I share your pitches with the room, I would first like to ask both teams a few questions. Anyone can feel free to answer them.
How did you decide who would be your project manager?
Are you happy with your PM's, and PM's, are you happy with your teams?
What were your inital ideas for how to approach the task?
And are you happy with the end result?

Everyone knows I'm a natural leader who's really into fashion so the decision was easy I'm happy with my team, even though some of my team mates' lack of sense of fashion My initial idea consisted of an evening gown, a stay-at-home outfit and a daytime look. I didn't have the time to explain and design those ideas because my team is so great they did so first. I'm incredibly happy with our final result.

Okay, Team 1.
I'll need to heard a bit more from Team CV (That's what I'm calling you, 'Team Countess Violet' takes too long to type each time, and CV fits in with the buisness brand anyway) before continuing.

We decided Bee should be our project manager because we know she has good leadership skills and she has posted about some accessories before, which is more fashion experience that the rest of us have. She told us immediately that she wouldn't be able to send our results today, but we thought that wasn't a problem. She did a good job keeping the team motivated and the ideas together.
One of our first ideas was pinstripes, because they have been the design of the forum as long as we can all remember, and they come from fashion, so why not put them back there? Another idea were the earrings because they are something quite a few of us would actually really like.
The end result is okay, of course time was very limited and we could have achieved a lot more (for example actually made some items instead of just drawing them) if we had more time.

The time may be limited, but both teams have the same amount of time, so its a fair comparsion. So, lets take a look at Team CV's effort. Hello all, Team Countless Violets here, and we are ready to force a fashion trend to take the nations. Allow me to pose a question: How do we have a signature look yet remain covert? What is that iconic *it* factor that just SCREAMS 667? What design has its image burned onto our computer screens from incessant use? That’s right, say it with me: !PINSTRIPES! We are jumping headfirst into the VALUABLE industry of high end fashion with our very own line of pinstripe suits. We rely on the classic black with a thin white pinstripe, but don’t get us wrong, it’s no uniform. We propose a variety of VERY BASIC alterations (low overhead cost) to our classic pinstripe look. What’s that ma’am you want a flare leg? You got it. Bigger stripes? Sure! Smaller stripes? Okay! No stripes/different colors? Well that’s absolutely where we draw the line, makes it less iconic pretty quickly. But now for the most important customizable factor, the accessories. And guess what, you asked for one but you’re getting THREE. Let’s face it, the suits are the prestige for the brand, the accessories are where you REALLY get the public’s interest and cash. That’s right I said cash, and if that caught your ear, then let this catch your eye: Our first beautiful accessory is the 667 Charm Bracelet. Perhaps the most iconic of all customizable accessories, this new take on a timeless classic allows you to adorn yourself with charms inspired by our beloved series. Eagle eyed viewers may detect particular inspiration from the UK printings, note the rich tones and colors on the charms inspired by their publication. As pictured, each book allows for a variety of its own unique charms. Collect all your favorites and stand out! Or blend in by cleverly devising a secret code that allows you to covertly send messages to your visible associates! For example, trouble? Wear your fork. Hungry? Slap a crab on that bracelet and your associate surely knows what you mean. However, are you looking for something a little more understated? Do you need that perfect flash of metal to highlight your stripes? Then may I recommend our equally iconic 667 earrings! Handcrafted by an artisan local to this VERY site, these beautiful earrings are available in classic silver or gold. You should probably buy 2 of each so you can mix and match, because you WILL want too. Going to a masquerade and need your enemies to know you are part of a secret organization watching over them? You know the ones to choose. Going to a mathematician convention? They probably like numbers, and you’re already wearing your own fav numbers on your EAR. That’s gotta start a conversation. We are open to a special line of pure gold and silver (luxurious, elite) but we understand if the business requires a more affordable alternative (zero overhead, mass producible). For our final accessory may I introduce Miss Man(nequinn). She’s also looking iconic and loves her new jewelry, but she just made the final payment on her car and doesn’t have any $$ for our pinstripe. No need to fear, we’ve simply made available the single most versatile wearable accessory known to humankind: The 667 scarf. Highlighting our site’s classic yellow hue, this article can worn in so many styles, you basically lose money by NOT getting one. This article also allows a quick disguise at the drop of a hat (or should I say SCARF), which is undeniably a need of our customer base, one we must address. It even is pants!! Can’t find a spot large enough to hide from your enemy? This scarf does it all folks, and it’s sooo yellow. There you have it, whether you need to blend in, stand out, or look plain hot, we can do it all while remaining iconically true to our brand. I want to say thank you all for joining B., Kit's tits kick ticks, R., HAL 10,000, and myself for our interpretation of 667’s new fashion line. A Couple of questions - Where were the pictures sourced from? - Whose idea were the earrings? I felt they were a nice touch - Whats going on with the charm bracelet?

And here is Team 1's efforts Hello Mister M, We're team 2, our name is team 1 and we're here to make it clear: we have what it takes to make it 'til the end. For this week's task, we decided to make full looks ready for the runway because just one item isn't enough to prove we are opulent and we own everything. In a world so often filled with treachery and lack of style, our brand strives to end both of these problems. Our products are of the sleekest designs and are the perfect clothing choice to those initiated and uninitiated alike. -This black and yellow dress, perfect for a stroll on a Sunday morning or a tea party at Mister M's house, makes one stand out in the crowd, so much that it would be perfect for a decoy. ------------------------- -The dark color scheme makes it easier to sneak around in the dead of night or to go to a fancy ball. However, if you do get caught, you should be fashionable and wear the numbers of your organization with pride. We like to address the elephant in the room by not hiding it at all. We're team 2, we're called team 1 and we're here to make it clear: we are the essence of 667. Is that a problem? I don't think. ------------------------- -These glasses obscure the sunlight and make it harder for others to know where you look. They can also serve as a sign of our secret organization, it may look just like fashion to most, but there are some who look closer. As if that's not enough, they fit any of our designs perfectly. ------------------------- -Whether running away from security guards or running to catch a moving train, you should always be wearing the most comfortable and fashionable wear. Of course, you have to show how classy you are by wearing yellow heels, regardless of your gender identity. Yellow nails are optional but highly encouraged. And a few questions for you - Zortegus, who came up with the ideas on your team? - And who did the glasses drawing?

How did you decide who would be your project manager? Gotta be straight with you boss, B and I were both nominated for team leader (I was nominated by B), but I supported her as lead because she's a literal leader that we all know and trust here.
Are you happy with your PM's, and PM's, are you happy with your teams? Yeah! She really got the ball rolling and everyone followed her lead well. We all contributed and I'm happy with the work I did, though there was a little confusion getting started about deadlines and how to begin.
What were your inital ideas for how to approach the task? I thought there might be more role assigning but the project was actually rather free flowing. I started the pm group message and was basically like any ideas?? then things started flowing and I helped tie it all together along with my own contributions. I'm talking a lot about myself but I can most fairly evaluate myself so that's what I'm doing now. Am i supposed to throw someone under the bus or something? I actually haven't seen the show
And are you happy with the end result? yeah baby my team rules and we deserve success quite frankly

A Couple of questions - Where were the pictures sourced from? - Whose idea were the earrings? I felt they were a nice touch - Whats going on with the charm bracelet? -Let's be real, the pinstripe "mood board" is sourced from various online stores as is my right under fair use copyright!!! All other images are original. Which is most of them! I'm the author of the hot and cool scarf. -Couldn't agree more. The artist wonderfully captured how ears look normal, and how earrings are cool. edit: oh and I'm happy to shout out Kit's tits kick ticks for the sake of credit. all her. B might have helped inspire them though? I'd have to check pms -While I think the image speaks for itself, I'd also like to let the artist speak on it. But bottom line charms for charm bracelets can literally be like anything Also i'd watch out for lawsuits against the other team from one Katya Zamalodchikova for copyright infringement... just saying....

Okay, thank you very much to both teams, but now I'm going to make a decision.
Team CV, I liked youre ideas, and some of them were well excuted. Some of them weren't. There were also some ideas that seemed to be a bit confused.
Team 1, you've managed to put some really great concepts together, but perhaps your ideas are not quite as origional as the other teams. You've got three very good designs, but they all fall into the same category.
So, after some deliberation, I have to say that the winning team is....
...
...
...
Team 1, congratulations. You've won the first task. I think your team really won it with the pitch, which was very well put together, and helped to seel a cohesive brand to me.
Now, as a reward for your good work, you each recieve a pat on the back.
PAT PAT PAT PAT PAT
Thank you for your efforts, and I'll see you all next week for the start of the next task.
Team CV, You will have to come back to the boardroom later, and discuss where things could have gone better, and maybe even where some things have gone wrong, and ultimately at least one of you will be fired.
