I probably sound like I'm grumbling, but I think there should be more 'competitions', other than SOTW, and battles, which are good. If there were a couple more things, then I think it would not only get more people hooked, but get the current members more involved.
For a really radicial idea, you could place Karma bets on the outcomes of competitions, for instance SOTW, the more top 3 positions you get right, the more Karma.

Well I agree with Bj and here are some of the things I have thought of for this type of thing - Monthly/Bimonthly/twice yearly/yearly Battle tournament. People sign up and battle each other with an eventual winner. This could come with a massive Karma prize or something similar.
- A signature/Large art "Worm" not really a competiton but a series of peices which all link to form a complete image.e.g. www.narutotcg.com/mana/leworm.html
- Monthly tasks e.g. create an avatar representing another member of impulse (Allows us to reach stuff outside of the SotW)
- Graphics "Teams" to allow us to do group battles and collaborations.

a forum i used to visit also had gfx teams and it worked really well for them. However they have jus under 1000 active members. im all for getting teams going, but the lack of members right now will make it tough..
the tourney that goes throughout the year is also a gd idea, but again, with lack of members, it would be difficult to do..
betting on SOTW.. if u bet on sotw then ur obviously gunna vote that person for 1st place wether they deserve it or not.. and i dont wanna promote favouratism.. soz Bj
that worm thing is nice, but i dunno how we'd be able to run it smoothly and efficiantly... ill have to think about that one..
Also, the forum i used to visit had 2 SOTW tourneys running at the same time.. 1 for Sigs n 1 for Large Art.. Would u guys be interested in a weekly LA tourney?

oo brainwave! ;D the LA tourney could be like Manip of the Week, an Admin provides a certain stock and everyone has to use that same stock but they can do what they want with it. Comments?

Nice - I don't see how betting is favouritism.
Everyone would place a bet before voting starts, and perhaps their own vote does not count towards the bet?

its a nice thought, trying to get more use out of the Karma system but i jus dont see it running smoothly.. i think it would influence peoples votes too much.. thx for the input though, i appreciate it.
what u think about the MOTW idea?

It seems like a good Idea. You might want to mix things up now and then though.
For the worm maybe you could set it up so that people "Call" that they want to do a section of the worm or we get people to sign up and do a Rota. You'll need some web hosting to put all the pics together.

yeah thats gunna be the problem, its a great idea though cos we could try n blend down as well as across.. gunna take some thought though..
for the MOTW what do u mean 'mix things up'?

Like throw in some diff size limits or make people try new styles now and again.
And blending down on the worm might be fun but you need to try and keep clean edges for others to work from.

ok, ill discuss the MOTW with Puppy n keep u guys informed..
with the worm thing we could draw something out like:
____________________________ |__A1__|__B1__|__C1__|__D1__| |__A2__|__B2__|__C2__|__D2__| |__A3__|__B2__|__C3__|__D3__|
and people could sign up for which section they want.. and obviously if u get an edge then u gotta keep the outside edge clean.

But they have to almost link to the touching ones like puzzles, right?
So would we have to check what other people are doing?

Post by Kain on Apr 10, 2008 13:19:40 GMT -5
outside edges would be straight, but inside edges u jus make em transparent so that they can overlap easily, only thing ull really need to check on is the colours

This is the problem with blending down. They all need to link. We could do it by working diagonally. One person starts A1, then someone does A2 and someone else does B1 at the same time.Then we can fill in all the missing squares from there.
I suggest we just start with just 1 direction. then we can all get used to it.
And kain I ment keep the edges linking to each other clean so that it is alot easier to link.
