CONTESTS?

So lately we have been discussing the lack of posting on this site so i want to know your ideas on some contests we could hold here to increase activity. We have had a mapping contest already before and that went quite well with a lot of participation.

So, what are your ideas for official RMN contests? Remember to think about the prizes as well. If we can start to host some contests we might bring some more activity here.
I've been hemming and hawwing about a Maze contest/collaborative effort since...December-ish. I haven't put anything together yet. :(

It would be in RMVX, everyone would submit one map that would be a maze/puzzle (no battles or anything) and then I would splice them all together to make The Maze Game or something.

Yeah. Lame I know.

I think stand-alone mazes would be fine. I'd be all up for a maze contest this Autumn!

Also, one-hours. We need to alternate every Friday with one-hour and three-hour contests.
@Kentona- A maze idea sounds great.

@Craze- I remember playing a few of the one hours and they weren't that bad. This would be a great contest to have. :)

I'm bringing this world back for you and for me.

Maybe a Speed Contest, you give them a game and make them record while they play. See who get's the fastest times to beat the game or get up to a certain point.
I could probably whip up a contest with Hero's Realm. It's possible (I think) to go solo in the first chapter - I could give a list of milestones/checkpoints and we could see who could get the farthest solo before they died.
We really need some more contests I think. I don't really have any ideas but I would definitely participate in any we do have. I like the sound of these one hour contests xD I'd be happy to have a map design contest every month.

I'm not comfortable with any idea that can't be expressed in the form of men's jewelry

Someone suggested building a contest module into RMN3.
@WIP, it does sound like a pretty cool idea, but also a trivial one. One needs to consider that adding a contest section may not be worth the work for the overall use. We would need to have contests rather often to really gratify this decision.

@Kentona, I like the maze idea, but I think it would be better just to do individual mazes, and vote for which is the best.
I think that the next contest should be open to all makers whatever it is. I like all the ideas posted here so far, especially the maze contest. I also think that it should be the stand alone maze contest to, again, open it up to all makers.

I like this Idea a bit, plus it increase the chance of having Members play other Members game, basically relating to the "How abour a Play Something Day". But I won't mind making a little Maze, it could be fun.
