[poll] Vreegin' Contests, How Do They Work?

[Ninja D!]

It looks like we haven't had any contests in a while. I know they were never huge but they always seemed to get some sort of response. Also, I think they are cool like bow ties. I know there has been some discussion with the CG but nothing has happened there yet.

At least once in the past, I had volunteered to head up a contest if no one else was going to. I'd still do that, if I can get some advice on what would make a good contest. What kind of theme, if there should be one at all? What sort of thing should the people entering be designing? What sort of reward should there be, assuming people want to compete for a reward?

I think such things are good for the community. Since I think this is about the best community for this sort of thing that exists, I think a contest deserves to be thought out and planned well before I just throw it out there. Any ideas or help would be great.

Polls have never worked.

I've always said if people want contests to just keep bugging me about it, but if other people want to make them as well, I'm cool with that.

Being lazy would just be easier.

I thought I remembered them not working but I hadn't seen one attempted in a while so I figured I'd give it a go. I guess there is actually a REASON it hasn't been attempted in a while.

Being lazy is the easiest. Sometimes I want to do something cool, though. I figured you'd given up on the contest thing. I'd be down for being part of a panel of judges or such, too. Or whatever works.

Maybe a dwarf-themed contest would be cool?

The end result of that is known in advance, I win. We can't do it anyways, we'd need to get together.

I don't get it. Unless...are you a short person?

That sounds like a challenge, laddie!

[Magnus Pym]

I don't get it.

laddie! [/quote]

Is that feminine?

Vote Vreeg 2011.

[Seraph]

laddie!

It's the diminutive of "lad" which means boy.

[Magnus Pym]

ahhh :P

[Ninja D!]

I don't get it.

So you drink a lot, then?

[Magnus Pym]

Haha, nah I'm not an alcoholic, but I do have a good resistance which allows me to drink alot.

Anyways, what did you have in mind about a dwarf-related contest? I just thought this was the obvious, but you seem to have another idea.

[Ninja D!]

I'm not really sure. Do you think enough people would be interested in such a contest? It seems a little narrow. I think something fairly open, like designing an interesting dwarf character would be a good one. By "character" I don't mean PC or NPC, just the all around character. Who they are, what they do, how they act, their history and goals, ect...

[Seraph]

I think that there are a number of possibilities for contests regarding dwarfdom.  Some of them could make for really neat material.

If we wanted to keep to the theme of Dwarves and drinking from the other thread, we could go with Design a Dwarven Tavern, Design a Dwarven celebration that involves alcohol, Stat out a Dwarf character modeled on Vreeg . . .

New dwarven contest idea: Write a dwarven legend

it can be about any number of things but it must be a legend that dwarves would retell amongst themselves.
