Contest Brainstorming Thread!

**Delphina** · 01-05-2012, 07:24 PM

Hello everyone!

We need everyone help. I know many people have been asking for more contests! Well here is your chance to make some suggestions...

What other contests can we do that will be fun? We are trying to gather some ideas.... Be creative and have fun with it!

**Draopwnzall** · 01-05-2012, 07:26 PM

Think of a number 1-1000 for 150 plat! Each person has two guesses? Jk, this is a boring contest, I have no ideas. :/

**Zraorizer** · 01-05-2012, 07:42 PM

How about a lottery, here is how it should go. Download lottery number generator, numbers from 1-100 each person picks 3 numbers. The lottery ends at the end of the week and then the other lottery starts the next day and on and on. Hope you like this idea :-)

**Kahlua** · 01-05-2012, 07:45 PM

I'll talk this over with the lads for SLH and see what else we can come up with

**Swimmingstar** · 01-06-2012, 12:18 AM

I have 2 contest ideas.

1. In this contest, contestants will think of a cool contest.

2. In this contest, contestants will write about a cool campaign.

Mmm...

We had video contests in the past, so why not photo contests? We could have different themes related to pl/sl or not. Photos r less complicated to make than video, faster also.

WoundedEagle Said Ton's of good ideas for both games...
I'll stick with design a vanity helm & design a robe/plate/leather contests

**Skeletonlord** · 01-06-2012, 02:41 AM

A great way would be an in game thing. There is a quest you need to do in pl and sl, and you need to do is find 10 artefacts from Alien Oasis Mob Bosses. The first 3 people to get these artefacts get 30 plat each. you turn it in in AO town.
What do you guys think?
Another one could be a forum contest. I don't have time to write anything here now- school. Ill edit this thread later.

Edit: Codies idea about design a vanity is another cool idea.

**LelouchX** · 01-06-2012, 03:54 AM

there was a really cool story contest that was hosted but never judged as the person who held it went MIA. I'll link it here when I find it

edit: rules were simple enough. under 500 word story about PL, no vulgarity. I'll link it for the fact that it was not my idea (and some of these were pretty funny) although I do miss the OP, hope he comes back soon :-(

http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...-000-1st-prize!

perhaps this can now be extended into SL, so that it could be made into 2 contests, an SL story and a PL story

Shame this is SL.

Drawings/Design contests are not exactly fair to all members some do not have an art'sy bone in their body.

If your going to do a contest then make sure its easy accessible to all members.

I am also very unartistic, but i know there are other areas that i excel in better than others, so nothing is going to be completely fair. With that said, i also vote for a non-drawing/non-design contest

**Kahlua** · 01-06-2012, 11:09 AM

I wonder if anything artistic can be done as a team contest? Like make it something that involves all different talents.

Teams of...say 4.
1 artist - does all the photoshop
1 designer - does the layout and construction with what the artist makes
1 writer - writes the storylines, scripts, whatever
1 "leader" - organizes everyone's duties, make sure things get done. Makes executive decisions.

Give an overall task and freedom to do whatever project best describes the goal.
Could have people sign up for what task they'd wish to do, and then pair people up at random.

Give a prize to everyone who enters because of the random team mechanics (something like a vanity) and a separate prize to the winners (most creative, best overall, whatever categories).

Just an idea...I'd like to see more team contests. Encourage teamwork over individual skill. I know there's some people I have bad blood with that I would like to work with constructively to fix any forum-related issues.

Level design could be a great idea to tie into my idea above. Could even write up a storyline behind the level.

+1 To Kallys contest/idea.

**Mesmerize** · 01-06-2012, 04:11 PM

What about a star legends movie contest? Players can write a script and then act it out in the game like a movie. Then whichever player has the best movie wins!

**Hans** · 01-06-2012, 05:37 PM

It�s would be nice to make more "Ingame - Events / Contest" with Moderators / Developers.

Somethink like to kill with several players a "Bigboss" controlled from a Mod / Dev?

yeah like a 25 person onslaught against a really tough boss. Wont effect our kills/deaths (some people would complain) and would require us to work together, as well as interact wth the developers in another way besides on the forum and in blackstar just talking.
