Contests

[hommelgardigan]

So you know how many people make boats, planes, or pixel art and are always arguing about "who's the best builder"?
We should make contests where we reserve a giant peice of land and hold seperate contests one for each of the categories like boats, planes, pixel art, buildings, etc.
It'd be fun and it would encourage people to practice their skills in building.
It would also be cool if Zerg put a tag on the winner saying Winner
This is mainly an idea and im open for suggestions.
There are several questions im wondering about and would like some feedback on.

1) Who would you choose to be a judge (we're going to have three)
2) Are there any other categories you would like to add?
3) When should we have it (once a week, once a month, once a year, etc.)
4) Im wondering how long we should give them to build their thing (thinking between 2 hrs and 5 days)
5) Do you like this idea?
Hope you approve

I like the idea :3

Thanx the main problem im considering is where to hold it?
And how to get rid of the stuff they build?
Maybe that should be a rule that you have to destroy your thing or you wont be able to participate in the next contest

1) Who would you choose to be a judge (we're going to have three): maybe some mods? so they can teleport to the players for easy accessibility?
2) Are there any other categories you would like to add? :Maybe underground fortresses?
3) When should we have it (once a week, once a month, once a year, etc.): once a month
4) Im wondering how long we should give them to build their thing (thinking between 2 hrs and 5 days):7 days seems good.(or 1 week for thoughs of you who aren't very good with math xD!)
5) Do you like this idea?:yes i do like this idea!

Thanx Golden for the feedback.
I must say you thought of things that Im kind of surprised i didnt think of myself.
I was actually starting to give up on this idea, since i havents had feedback for a long time so thanx for getting my hopes back up.
I do think that mods would be a good idea, only they probably wouldnt have time to go whizzing all over the place just for this competition. Great idea though.
Underground fortresees sounds cool as well, im just getting back to how to remove all the stuff they built.
A week also seems fair, though I still have some problems around that.
1) How can we get all the players who participated on at the same time so we can announce the winner
2) how would we get rid of the builds?
Also I like the once a month idea, thatll give people enough time to realize when the contests starts.
thanks again for the feedback

1) How can we get all the players who participated on at the same time so we can announce the winner: this i am not really sure, but if they didn't win,later someone can always tell them "Better luck next month!"
2) how would we get rid of the builds?: make the contest held in the regen zone

fined it to be a good idea but yeah taking the stuff down would be hard? have to make your art work burn able to a poin or has to deal with explosives but the problem is where to do and who to hire¿ for clean up id see what i can do to be a judge.
