I'm just curious if anyone would want to have a few contests? I remember one of my favorite things about this forum was the contests that others and myself used to hold. Would anyone object to me posting a few and if not, who would enter? Would prizes be required? I was absent for a long time, so I don't quite know how the prize system works, but I do see some under people's names.
Contests would more than likely be like the old ones I used to host: Make a story that requires a specific object to be of significance in the story, make a story based on a screenshot, make a screenshot based on a story, make the best map possible using a specific chipset and the limitations of the judge, make a sprite, etc.
I specifically remember having a story contest about (I think) a bridge, and moosetroop coming up with an amazing short story. I would love to read more things like that, as well as see other people's creations, both in the form of text or pictures.
Let me know what you guys think. I would like this to get some support. Even though the forums are kinda dead, still seems like 20+ people roam them fairly often.

Go for it, I mean the worst that can happen is not many entries. I'll certainly do my best to enter. The last ones you did were pretty fun.
-
Yeah go for it. I'm always up for contests. It's mostly that I'm not hosting any since I tend to be one of few who makes the deadlines.
It's a shame but thats how it goes when people own wooden computers and internet that breaks and a life to maintain.

Yeah, what they all said.
Then you can pm an admin, send them an award sprite and tell them to give it to the winners.
-
I miss them too! I'd certainly join in with the writing ones if nothing else. The mapping ones were also fun. Go for it!

I am one hundred percent opposed to this idea.

Ben gives a good argument. Sorry MIC, on second thoughts I don't want any more contests.

Yeah, what he said.

I'm sure that's some sorta inside joke but I don't understand it o_O
-
It really is not. That having been said, I am not actually against your idea. I was being contrary, because it was an option that was available to me.
-
Alright then. So, if I posted say... two in a few hours, I would have the "forum ok"?
-
You'd probably have an okay but it will probably also take some time before people notice and join them.

Yeah. I figure having the first ones open for a month 'should' be long enough. We will see.
