Mini Contest Suggestion: Terraining Roulette

[Celaquil]

The title says it all, and without further ado:

So, I got this idea, and the more I thought about it the more I liked it.

Basically, it's a sort of contest I've come to call "Terraining Roulette".
The idea is that all contestants have some time to make 50% of a terrain,
be that foreground, mid-ground, background or what want you. Then,
after a time has passed, we all turn the unfinished maps in to the host,
the host then re-distribute these maps randomly to other contestants
who then have to finish what someone else started. In a way, the rules
will be similar to "The Picture" rules, mainly the camera angle rules and
some more. The idea is that two random people will be parred together
in a sort of "co-terrain" fashion, where nobody knows who is parred with
who from the get-go.

I think it'd be fair if the winner, the one who finished the map, get's
something like "25" rep, and the original creator (the one who made
the first 50% of the map) get's something like 10 rep. That way,
anyone has a chance to get 10 rep, while the winner gets more,
because ultimately he delivers the finished product.

So, what do you think?

I am a bit pressed for time so I'll keep this short.

I really like your idea. It has potential to create some really interesting mixes and I will join if the contest gets hosted. Cheers.

Loneliness themed terrain, compose of nostalgic objects like death, heart broken, etc. with minimalistic(few doodads) feeling .

But then EVERYBODY will make shitty foregrounds to minimize the competition.

In two parts:

Firstly, this is why I'm suggesting it as a mini-contest, and not an official one, as I think
people are less inclined to "cheat" in mini-contests, their meant to be fun and challenge
your terraining skills, the rep is just to have some kind of prize. We can lower it though.

Secondly, this is also why I am suggesting that the maps original owner gets rep,
because then, if you make a good foundation, it may very well pay off if your map
wins.

What? This is not a thread for suggesting themes, it's a thread for discussing THIS theme.
If you want to suggest, go to Heinvers thread and make suggestions there.

And I mostly made this thread to get an overview of how many people would like to attend such a contest,
because we'd need more than a few to make this contest work properly.

So, please let me know if you'd like to enter a contest like this one.
