Contest Suggestion

[Firelord213]

I have an idea!
The idea is to have like a contest or something about who has been the best modeler/2d artist/mapmaker/mod&admin etc.
Than we would know which modeler for an example THW likes the most.

Best admin of the year
Best Global mod of the year
Best resource mod of the year spell/map/skin/models/tools
Best Forum mod of the year
Best Chat mod of the year
Best Mini-mod of the year
Best 2d artist/skinner of the year
Best modeler of the year
Best mapmaker of the year
Best terrainer of the year
Best triggerer of the year
Best toolmaker of the year
Best Iconmaker of the year

If I have forgotten anything tell me please.

Not a bad idea, although I doubt it will fly.

 

[~Void~]

It's a kinda "gossipy" idea, but it would be interesting. Just like gossip xD

There should be 2nd place and stuff, because I could be runner up to madsen :3

 

[DesKaladA]

This is a complelty idiotic idea
its like users wanting mods to make really really bad contestesm just so they can win at their own contest

 

[Pyritie]

Popularity contests are foolish.

Popularity contests are foolish.

...Yeah. I mean, sure, Void could be runner up, but what about me (don't take it as me being arrogant..), frosty, Gilles? That'd go to popularity, and I know that I'm not the most popular ... I hardly do anything except for terraining. Overall, it'd be a popularity contest, even though they might not be those.
"Best Admin of the Year"? That'd be even more retarded.

Yea it might work for best map makers, terrainers, etc, although it probably wouldn't, but admins, mods, etc would defiantly not be a good idea. As for the other stuff, it might work with judges, rather then a public poll, but otherwise I doubt it would work.

 

[Samuraid]

This type of things is fun and works well on some forums but it doesn't seem like it would be the best idea here. The focus is quite different and it would probably make more enemies than friends.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

This is great idea.

I wonder if I am the best mapmaker of the year?

 

[Pyritie]

Best mapmaker would probably end up similar to the "best hosted project of the year" poll we had a short while ago.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Best mapmaker would probably end up similar to the "best hosted project of the year" poll we had a short while ago.

Or probably not.

 

[Pyritie]

Well seeing as most of the really good map makers are working on maps that are hosted projects here, yes, it probably would.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Then here should be differently "Best mapmaker of the year" and "Best hosted project of the year".

You shouldnt atleast make to many mod awards because theres quite few mods and those who didnt get awarded can feel like shit then.
So...

Popularity contests are foolish.

indeed!
