We haven't had SOTW in a long time. After Yoyo left. And I didn't learn sig making until afterwards. So sad.

too bad i can't join the brawl tourny since i can't go on wifi for certain reasons.

And kyuubit, not everyone has every game so all we can do is choose one that most people have.

I'm in on the music writing contest idea.
I don't think cleod would enter his own contest,
And if he does, we still win, we get awesome music.
(Win/Win)

I wouldn't mind a sketching contest, me not being very good with computer art and all.

The only downside to that is not everyone has scanners, but I think we could definitely pull it off. Besides, most people who are into art would likely invest in a scanner anyway.

Cleod, you're pretty awesome for this. I'd say there should definitely be a Brawl tournament, an SSF2 release tournament (midnight the day you release it? B) ), maybe a Pokemon tournament, a sig making tournament, msuic composition, and lots of other things!

Looks like we're leaning towards game/music competitions, alright...

:shifty: Umm i'm new here so I really don't know very much about this kind of contests but I have some suggestions:
Music composition
Creating drawings and sketches
Signature elaboration
Write a story
Flash Animation
Video game tournaments such as halo, ssbm.
If you can add online play to SSF2 would be great.
Maybe some trivias
Etc. ..
:shifty: :roll: :nod:

There's a good one, short stories or fan-fics of some sort.

Well all you really have to do to figure out what kind of contests are good you just have to figure out what you have on the forum and make contests accordingly. For example you have a spriter's corner so you could have a contest where each contestant creates a sprite or spritesheet depicting a particular character or object. Or since you have a Coder's Paradise, you could have one where people must make a code which achieves a certain task and rank them on brevity and effectiveness of the program. Or possibly combine art with programming and have people create a small game in a certain genre with a small story and judge them on graphics, story, gameplay, and just how much fun it is in general.

Really the ideas are already there you just have to look.

A game making contest I'm a bit worried about since most people come here to play games, not necessarily make them :sweat: But if people are interested in something coding-related I'm all for it.

There could be some limitations to regarding the contest.

Like?

A short animation contest would be neat, then people wouldn't have to slave over their computers for weeks over it :roll:

Huh, not one of my first thoughts but alright.

Umm... I'll think of more eventually.

Ha, if we have one I'll refrain from entering myself.

--------------------

Anyway so far it looks like the topic choices are:

1. Music Contest
2. Some type of Online Gaming Tournament (most likely Brawl)
3. Art/Animation

Things like stories, game making, and trivias were also mentioned, we can definitely make something fun out of this ;)

I'm definitely thinking I want to do a music contest first though, let's hear some more prize ideas, I know some people would want free shirts, games, etc., anything else?

Wouldn't that be like 2 contests in one? It's a good idea but seems like a bit much

Not quite, you or a volunteer could make it, and showcase it on the first post of the contest.

Sounds good, but Crono is getting new sprites.. Right Cleod? I sent the good ones by msnwashington2 to him via E-mail. So, maybe Cloud? Or at least DK, Diddy Kong, and others who need better sprites..?

Premium item, eh? Limited edition or something I'm thinking

I don't particularly want to do any SSF2 related contests right off the bat. But sprites is alright

And I can tell you one thing, Crono's old sprites aren't going to be used in their current state, that's for sure.

Well technically the Devs would have an advantage since most of them got in for their spriting skills to begin with.
