Suggestion for contest

[mckill2009]

We already have:

Melee map contest
Terraining contest
Spell making
Hero making
Story contest
Tree tech contest
Mini-game contest
Modeling contest

Any I forgot?

What if we can have QUEST CONTEST, in which a map maker will make a map with a maximum of not more than 5 quests to complete the map or story?

Now you maybe asking that is the same as mini-game coz mini games has quests, well not exactly coz most mini-games (contest) focus on themes, boring storylines and no cinematics, Quest contest is to test a modder's creativity on how to finish a storyline or maybe creating a sequel...

Suggestion for contest

I suggest to add a general rule for contests that only moderator is allowed to judge. I have joined 2 contests and found that the judges are far from qualified.
But it's just suggestion anyway.

I'm always interested in AI scripting contest btw.

only moderator is allowed to judge.

I disagree, that sounds highly discriminatory towards normal users you know ;/

only moderator is allowed to judge.

I think the filtering for judges needs to be a bit more strict, but not exclusive to mods.

OT: I'm interested in the Quest making contest.

That would be wonderful that's a contest I could join without losing motivation x) since it's rather easy to completely quickly.

I love AI scripting also, I've made a bunch of them and will make more in the future, like the caravan system based on Age of Empires 3 and Ship Docking...

IDK how this suggestion is going to be implemented guys, does the administrator read and sometimes heed this kinda things?...

Though there are around 4 admins, only 1 browses the forums which is Kwaliti. Excluding Ralle.

If judges don't appear to be fit for their role, contact the staff

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy. But there's no contest, so make one maybe

Admins usually don't need to get involved. Here's how the Arena works in rough terms

Have a contest idea? Post it in Contest Submission. Here all future contests are reviewed by arena moderators who determine if hosting it is worth it. It may then either be rejected and moved to submissions archive, or hosted and moved to the main forum

I have already hosted one contest atm, and it's my first time. Guess it's not a good decision to host several contests at once for a noob Ask mckill2009 perhaps?

 

[mckill2009]

guys it is not just a contest but a contest that has a title or thread of itself, like the Zephyr and mini-game type contests...

many of us (if not all) spend tons of time moding in WC3 that's why you are here, years of devotion, so why not enter new ideas...

Yeah, some contests are established and some are not. That is because people (note: people, not necessarily staff) don't stop creating successors for them. Because they like participating in them. It's not like we are high up on our thrones forcing people to participate in and host modeling/mapping/whatever contests

If your contest idea picks up speed and people are interested in it then there will be succeeding contests of the same style

You are confusing the mechanisms that drive the Arena. Basically it all comes down to this: The Arena is reliant on people submitting contest submissions, which are looked over and subsequently rejected or hosted. Whatever contest ideas you have, put them in Contest Submission
