Hey guys,
I was thinking it could be fun if we had competitions and the prize could be a certain amount of Karma points.
I won't start it off till the forum is more active of course but I thought it could be fun.
I was thinking also that there would be different ones like "forum clown" or "most active" maybe "most helpful" , "most imaginative" and that the different catagory would eventually have a picture to go with it, oh and the winners would have it announced on their profile (you wouldn't have to put it there, I'd do that).
I'm thinking it could be either a weekly thing or fortnightly thing and I'd have to work out a voting system....
I'd love to hear some feedback or suggestions, if you have any ideas please share them! Get imaginative if you want to, we have to think of catagory names

Awesomeness I was also thinking of a riddle or puzzle one... maybe... kinda... Although I don't know about a picture to go with that... I have to actually think about the pictures again. I'm still trying to think of the 'logistics' involved. Anyways yeah I was thinking about a riddle a week to solve. It would definitely help with our cognitive problems (apparently).

Hmm I was thinking about photo and poetry/writing comps too. The only problem is deciding on what kind of time limit... They could be part of the "Most Imaginative" though because I do like those ideas and I have no idea what else could be most imaginative unless it has to do with an interactive story or something... Hmm... You got me thinking again Angel! *wonders off to ponder some more*

You could have the poetry and photo ones themed - like the photo has to be taken somewhere from your bed, or of an animal/insect, or from the inside loking out a window etc. And the poetry could have a word/line limit so that people don't need to spend lots of time on it. You could just have it as a monthly thing. A month should be enough time to get entries in....

Something that might be fun is best image found on the web using a particular subject... I suggest we go for "funniest" as I'm sure we could all use the laughs. Or we could even do a multiple pic version. Such as: "Puppy & Chocolate Cake" -> Then we could use either 1 pic (if we could find one), or 2 pics that have some connection, like "Puppy held by clown" & "Clown with cake in face". ;D Just a thought.

Hmm you guys have got me thinking some more... Great ideas. I think the themed for photography and word limit on poetry are very good ideas. And if everyone is happy with it being a monthly thing then I think we should go with that timeframe... I swear I got lots of 'timeframe' stuff whirling around in my head right now ;D I like your idea Argyrosfenix ( I spelled your nickname right the first time without having to double check it! ) but I think that could be too many spoons for some people. I do however think that could be a good thread to have in the fun and games section. We could always have a funny pictures thread. Every forum needs one...

Awesome! That is very rare. Most people choke on it. Even when they abbreviate it. ie: Argo vs Argy... I usually capitalize the "X" at the end too. Just feels right if you know what it stands for... (ps. I have a blog entry about it on Yahoo 360)

I like the funny pictures idea! And probably good to have a thread so that we can just upload when we find one - or if we are bored we can go hunting for one

Ok so this is what I've written down so far...
Competitions;
Weekly
Riddles. Prize will be x amount of karma points and a title (still have to figure out the title). I'm thinking 25 points but I'm up for suggestions. First person to answer wins but there will be a time period of 6 days (allowing that 7th day for me to go through and announce the winner etc) just in case no one can answer it...
Monthly (monthly includes submitting entries and voting)
Photography - themed entries to be voted on by a poll. Prize will be a title and x amount of karma points (I'm thinking 50 points and I'm still thinking of a title, would love suggestions)
Poetry - I'm still deciding on wether it should be themed or not. Thoughts? Prize to be a title and x amount of points (still thinking of a title and I'd love suggestions, I'm thinking 50 points with this too)
Writing - I'd like a short story one as well but I have to put some more thought into that one...
Nominations
Most Helpful Forum Clown...
If you have some more ideas on what catagories to nominate people pm me. I don't know about the timeframe with nominations and that yet. It's all very early stages so far but the prize will be a title and x amount of Karma points. Maybe even an picture if I can think of how to do that....
Anyway that's about all my brain can figure out for now, I think it needs a break for the rest of the week. I'm not going to start all these comps and such at the same time though and I might fine tune ones I start over time. It's a trial and error sort of thing!
~~~~~~~~
I hope that all made sense and wasn't too hard to follow... I just wanted you guys to know where I am at with thinking it all out and organising it. I might start with the riddle one first to see how it will all go...
I was going to say something else... Oh yeah, ArgyrosfeniX (I did it again, even remembered the capital X!) I'll have to read that thread because I'm curious now...

I'm just letting you guys know that I'm going to be adding puzzles to the comps area eventually. I'm just thinking of which ones and all the stuff that goes with it. Just going to take me a couple of weeks (preferably less). If anyone has any suggestions for a puzzle, even if it's one you've come across somewhere and thought it was a goodie, pm me.
