You guys.
Of course there can be less Contestants (Teams, rather). And yeah, people 'have life', drop out & that can now affect twice as many people as before. Those are all some of the downsides to Teaming Up.
But what you get in exchange... The amazing, joyous sense of collaboration, the thrill of mutual design & discovery, the rush of creating a synergistic bombshell, greater than the sum of its parts... Man.
Maybe now is not the time. I know I'm nowhere near available enough to campaign for it, much less Host it or whatever. But perhaps someday. If the sticking point is "but that's not a true 'Zephyr' Contest!!", then fine. We'll call it something else. "Gemini Contest", ah dannae.
Anyway, we'll do what we can. I'm not too bent out of shape about a solo Contest. Should be fun; we have some good options.
I guess I don't see how it's all that different. But still, not a huge deal either way right now.

Voted. While I particularly loved my "Race Specific" idea (more specifically, the "two opposing races" thing I originally suggested), "Model" sounds like a really interesting one, if we get a good range of models.

Yeah... And nothing need be 'taken away' from what a Zephyr Contest means; only 'added unto'. (Rough estimation ahoy) the results would be like 50 points for the coding (spell) & 50 points for the associated art.KILLCIDE said:I get your point, but it's a little different for Zephyr in my opinion. The Hero Contests has always been about the produced Hero, where as Zephyr has been about the code. The former has an easier way of implementing a team, where as the latter...
