Brainteaser Contest!

While the design+coder thing sounds plausible, the downside is free time. Most coders on PB lack much free time... Dreggie's busy, iAlex is busy, I'm busy, Peter's busy, Ross is busy... it just kinda piles up on the remaining few since everyone would need someone to work with, and there's typically far more designers than coders.

However, in the summertime I feel this idea would be very possible. Oh, and the AMV thing... AMV's are "Anime Music Videos." People more or less pick an anime, take cuts, and match them to a song in a video. Sometimes it's not actual music. I've seen it done with a comedian's act before.

Oh, and a writing contest is very possible. I'll run it by Kay since she's in charge of the lit boards and I'd have her run it. The only issue would be lack of competitors.

Zac Attack: Brainteasers are possible. I'll have to find/come up with some original ones since most people have heard the others.

A writing contest? Eh?

Lemme ponder on it and lemme see what I can come up with. It's very possible, and would be a good way to help the Lit boards just a tad. Meaning, any entries could be posted in there as well.

I'm glad you like the coder+designer idea Chris. I don't think there has been something like this before. At least I didn't saw it. Yep, you're right. There're more designers than coders but the jury would have to pick up the designers then in a, let's say, pre-cast. I mean, if there're 5 coders and 10 designers you guys just make a designer contest to see which 5 designers go into the competition with the coders. Do you think some coders would like to do that?

That wouldn't be a bad idea to help with the pairing... though there's some designers that prefer to work with specific coders. For example, I know Eternity and Peter work great together. Same with Slip and DregondRahl. I work best with Joe myself... so it just kinda varies and wouldn't be completely fair if we didn't let them pair themselves.

Yep, I know what you mean and understand that. That's no problem. I was also referring more to designers and coders who don't have their teammate yet. I mean, for example, I haven't worked with a coder before to design something, else with for the IC where you helped me with the coding. Unless, each coder already has a designer he/she works with then yeah, there's no need to make any more teams. I guess you know what I mean.

As I said, we'll look into the idea. Brainteasers aren't a bad idea either.

Hmm. I think if we let them pick their own partners, and kind of a first come, first serve, basis, we might be able to work something out. Although a lot of people tend to be busy these days so that's my only worry.

You should organize another huge scavenger hunt like I did to reveal the GM Scripts board.

Like an egg hunt sort of thing ? Well you could use the words "Studio Zero" and plot all letters around the forum hiding in a range of spots. In boards, changing images all around the forum for the letters etc, making some hard and some easy. First one to get them all wins a prize ?

Si's coin hunt is still going on till Aug 20th. Idk if that will look like too much of a rip off. Still I don't think smangii would care.

I don't think you understand just how large I made the scavenger hunt. Only one clue was given and it led to the source code where there was a binary comment. Then you translated it and you had another clue. Then you had another clue then you had to switch skins then you had to find a hidden board. Then you had a fork in the road. It was more than just finding letters.

yea. That hunt was a bitch. Took me so long to get it. lol xD
