So,

I would like the input of our veterans, full members, new members, brand new members, day new members, minute new members, Staff is welcome too, I guess. :ahmed:

Here's the thing, this place could really use some scheduled events and competitions in my opinion. I know Shace sometimes runs the "Last one standing" games, but there's really no prize for winning in that at all, so I was thinking, what if we think of a few things we can reward members for? What would be a nice thing to do?

That's where I need your help. Of course, I'd be one of the people running said competitions, so I would really like some input as to what you guys would like to see, what you think seems like a nice idea, it doesn't have to be fleshed out. Don't worry about giving an opinion that may seem random to you, if it's something a lot of people like, I'm sure we can mold it to create a game, competition, or event out of it.

Here's a few suggestions:


  • Trivia: FF, FFForum Members, GFX, Music, Games in General, Game Series, Books, Movies, etc.
  • Writing: FanFiction, Original, character creation, poetry, lyrics.
  • GFX: Signature of the Week, GFX Clan related competitions once in a while, Smiley Competition.
  • Photography: Set themes.
  • Cosplaying competitions.
  • Musicians, Photographers, Writers, etc.

There's a whole lot there is to suggest, Trivia, and vBQuiz jumps out at me most at this moment, but I'm also at a loss at what all of you would like to see. You may not be as enthusiastic about it as I am, but I think it's time we start involving members again, and also give the new people a fair chance to not feel so intimidated and give them a fun experience to get to know the community.

So, please, any suggestions or ideas, concerns, they're ALL welcome from all of you. Now, with that said, if you're a bit shy about giving your suggestions, feel free to send me a PM. ;)

Prizes can include things like Gil, vBShop perks, perhaps a 5% off voucher, a coloured username for a very short set few days.

You name it, and we'll try our best to work with it.

Ready.... set.... go. :D
 
I would join Photography one, so long as I'm allowed to use my smartphone. I don't have an expensive camera. With smartphones and fun filters out there, we can turn this into a more fun and casual photography contest. Nothing strict. Something that would be easy to take on a daily basis. Food would be my favorite theme. :)
 
Photography would definitely be the lighthearted event here. The official Photography Competition where there's strict rules, and no filters is definitely a Birthweek thing only. I want to have a few light hearted, and easy to plan events, games, and competitions, so smartphone pictures and filters would definitely be allowed.

Who's got some other ideas? :D
 
photography is definitely a good one, i'd be up for that. i've always liked writing competitions but they never seem to get a lot of interest and in the past they haven't lasted more than a couple of rounds. if someone were to revive that though then i'd probably take part.

those final fantasy quizzes that people did in the shoutbox always seemed to go down really well, whatever happened to them?

Elaborate, Dave! What do you mean? I'm unsure how you see this going, and I'd like to know cause it may be worth a shot. :gasp:
 
Between this and Survivor, have I suddenly become an Events Convenor?!

I haven't really worked out the finer points but I was thinking a singing (or talent?) competition where we'd ask as many people as possible to enter, and we could vote for the favourites. Week on week, we could have a theme - e.g. 80s, Queen, movie night etc. We'd vote each week and whittle it down to the winner. Basically The X-Factor/Pop Idol/whatever it's called.

Don't know if "Judges" could be too convoluted or if it could add a dynamic sense to "saving the bottom two". The whole thing would only work though if polls can be hidden, which I'm not sure they can? Unless we used another free website.

Since we're not in a live studio and, most likely, would record things on camera phones or something, we could take into account how well done the videos are.
 
he means a talent show

I like the idea of photography as well. I would participate in writing or poetry competitions but like Pooley said, the interest level in them is never very high.

What about video competitions? Videos are fairly easy to make with Windows Movie Maker (I'm not sure what the equivalent would be on Mac) and it could be more of a casual type competition. Videos wouldn't necessarily need to be very high quality so long as they're entertaining and follow the appropriate topic.
 
I would like to set up something for Triple Triad...

Also some of the contest we made in the short time of the FF clans were fun... (I do miss the FF clans :sad3: )
Quizzes, writing contests... etc...
 
I would definitely enter something that i feel i could actually contribute too. Im not gifted in the ways of writing or poetry so thats out of the question for me but even if you only get a few entries i think you should go for it anyway. Its something a bit different and would probably help the forum. Why dont you hold a GFX competition aswell @Six? There has been quite a few of them in the past and theyve always been pretty successful. Im sure even some of the members like myself who dont even look at photoshop anymore could be tempted into entering. Just please no boring themes like seven sins and crap like that :ryan: Also video and voice clip type things have always been popular in the past.
