Contest ideas

I liked the overall outcome of the retarded monster contest and I'd like to hold some regular contests. I'm not sure when the contests would be held and I'm also not sure whether they should be recurring. So for the time being I'd rather come up with new contest every now and then. I welcome opinions on contest ideas or recurring contests.

I was toying with the following ideas:

Retarded weapon contest
Hybrid monster contest
Worthless weapon contest
3D weapon model contest

3D models plz. Although DarkSlayer would win every time.

I would like to see some contests that heed for some more serious content too, using adjectives like "best" or similar.
Something a bit unrelated is that I would also like that when you launch the contest, that you also list the hard criteria that the contributions will be rated on, to avoid confusions and to make the content more focused.

I think that worthless weapon/monster/script contest would be a good idea. Same with most useful weapon, most suprising monster and most epic script contests.

You had Retarded Monsters, do Retarded Weapons. Seems only fitting.

You could do "Most intelligent AI".

That would be a very, very, very long contest Discount.


I would like to have monthly/semimonthly contests, but honestly it would get pretty stale if it occurred too regularly. I'm also concerned about the length of the deadlines for them. (Specifically, I wonder if the lengthy deadline for the Retarded Monster contest detracted from it.)

I'm probably going to make the 3d model contest the next one. The retarded weapon will come, but I'll have to narrow down some weapon criteria for that one.

Looking forward to the retarded weapon contest. I may be able to salvage my idea from the monster contest for it!

Let's not delude ourselves into thinking that there would be any participants, save for you.

I actually think it could work.

A suggestion:
Have a tutorial ready at hand for each contest, prepare them before you launch, then people have no excuse to be on lower quality.

Idk if you need a tutorial maybe you shouldn't be entering a contest straight away.
