DL (Round 2 Boss/ForumExpert task.)

[CrockettRocket]

Forum Hall Of Fame Ideas!

If the forum was to create a forum hall of fame, including all those who have made an impact on the forums to a large extent. A couple of examples are Higurashi,Majofa, and Xenodius. If they were well known for winning events, making threads that were immense hot topics, being extremely active in chat, and/or have come up with top notch quality card ideas then they qualify for the Forum Hall of Fame. There will be a half a week of planning time and for people to generate more reasons, the CO will check them and add them if he/she agrees. *Disclaimer:The people already mentioned do not count, but if you make reasons for them your reasons will count

All you have to do is generate a list of of people who you think qualify for the Forum Hall of Fame. These people are the divine light that have shone on the community. These people are the believers of Divine Light.

Rules

1.) Every person you list will give you one point but must have a reason to correspond with.

2.) Reasons for why a person should be in the Forum Hall of Fame must be one that is listed above.

3.) Every reasoning will give you one point, you can use the same reasoning for different people as well.

*Let's hope this becomes and actual thing! -Krzysiekxd,Blacksmith, and CrockettRocket!

As I said in chat, this is not a competition nor a non-PvP event. It's just a different way to set a poll.

A competition should involve something "to do" in concrete, like creating a card, a deck, a picture, a movie, a soundtrack, etc...

Fill in only a list from which to draw names for a vote is only tautology.

[CrockettRocket]

Tautology?

[Zawadx]

Tautology (n): needless repetition of an idea, especially in words other than those of the immediate context

I direct you to Google. 

And yeah, I agree with what Spike says.

[CrockettRocket]

No, there wouldnt be a vote on it though. Its not drawing names for a vote, the competition of what every says will be concrete, not put up for ridicule as a vote.

[Calambar]

I'm thinking about one original, awesome forum game based around Light.  Any thoughts? I will think about it offline ;]

Taken from titan pad:

ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN EVENT AROUND SKO'S IDEA:
A competition for noobs who are supposed to create a new card with the help of a mentor.

Dear Vetarans who have strong will to help others. Don't hide your Light, now it's an event for you! Like a good deity, illuminate newbies with your profound knowledge about card mechanics, deckbuilding and, above all, help them become active members of our community.

Dear newbies, don't be shy, finally it's an event for you! Your task will be to create a card with a help of mentor. [Let your creativity shine like a dying sun]. (Will be good to add here anything)

RULES:

For newbies:[Do not f*ck anything up:P]

For veterans:[Make sure your noob does not f*ck anything up:P]

GOOD! Ok, we are done. Sending this to BMs! [Cool]

Words in [ ] were Sko's lines

[Skotadi Phobos]

Green belongs to Boss.

A competition for noobs who are supposed to be trained to be better forum members with the help of a mentor.

Dear Vetarans who have strong will to help others. Don't hide your Light, now it's an event for you! Like a good deity, illuminate newbies with your profound knowledge about card mechanics, deckbuilding and, above all, help them become active members of our community.

Dear newbies, don't be shy, finally it's an event for you! Your task will be to create a card with a help of mentor. Let your creativity shine with the luminescent brilliance of a dying star! If you're willing to join the ranks of respected community members like ddevans96 and OldTrees then you'll have to be active. Don't let that daunt you, you'll have an opportunity to become friends with great people like them.

RULES: Separate rules, one for our wonderful newbies and the other for our lovely veterans.
For newbies: To qualify as a newbie you must have under one hundred forum posts and be younger than three months on the forum. And don't even think about trying to lie about your forum age, this is the internet, we don't do that here. Now for event rules, You will be responsible for most of the work when it comes to card and deck building. Your mentor is just suppose to help you, not do the work. You've got to come up with the idea and mechanic. Your mentor will help balance and iron it out.

For veterans: You have to be at least 8 months old on the forum and at least a hero member. DO NOT do the work for your newbie, only help with balancing and stuff they aren't really familiar with yet. And encourage them to go and learn. You're a teacher, so teach.

The reason we participate in these competitions, Rewards: (I'm open to suggestions, preferably something that won't make the newbie's all feel like they are done and can just drop off all activity)

I don't know any other reward for forum event than a forum icon. And if we expect voting there must be some kind of competition and in competition there are winners and losers. No idea for non-invasive rewards...

Tasks: The things that make events not just a bunch of people standing around

Task 1: Card design, make a card, any card, any element any type with any mechanic, so long as it is original and will be debated. It must be submitted to the crucible once there has been enough debate.

Veteran's task here would be to instruct a newbie how to create a card following CI&A format, teaching him/her how to balance card, etc.

Task 2: Deck building, Build a deck, any deck, upped or unupped, Requirements: it has to be somewhat original but given as how there are so many decks posted we won't require it be completely 100% original, that's damn near impossible. It has to be able to at least farm ai 3 with regular wins.

It would be good here veterans show trainer to those noobs who have never heard about it, as some of them may not have many cards yet. Short Description explaining the mechanic of a deck as well as why these cards and not others were chosen is required.

Task 3: Things get interesting here. You have to make a thread in off one of the off topic boards. This thread must reach the status of "Very hot Topic" meaning it needs to get over fifty posts in the duration of the task.

I don't personally like this fifty posts requirements. What about jusy vets must supervise noob so as he should keep his topic alive, replying to others.

Task 4: Post at least 10 reasonable replies in any topics. Vets will have to judge if replies are reasonable enough.

(more tasks to come)

This part i waiting for more suggestions!

Voting: Ah voting, the thing that makes events winnable. We'll have it. Voting goes down like this, once our wonderful newbies finishes a task they will post a link to their thread in the voting thread, at the end of the round we'll make a pretty poll and you guys can vote on your favorites. winner gets points, points add up, most points wins.

I suggest like 10 days for each task. Then 7 days poll.

Rough ideas, I'm open to feedback. To cut off questions, this event ties in with our name because light is all about helping stuff, and this event will, in theory, help the community get stronger.

That's all what I could do for this task I'm afraid. That's unlikely I will be here before deadline like last time Please all of you, form anything from that and post to BMs! Thanks!

PS. Big thanks for Skota for creating this draft from our titan brainstorm. Ps 2. CR WANTED! Dead or alive ;]

[Calambar]

Good work Skota, I will try to add anything to that. I can see our conversation in titan was fruitful.

The Competition That Smiles Back

This is a competition for noobs to get a working knowledge of the forum and how it works. How the noobs will get this knowledge, instead of being stranded in a dark cave with whispering voices, they will have the divine help of our veterans! Hopefully these veterans will have a strong will to help others, because they don't get a reward if their noob wins, only self-satisfaction! Please veterns, help them become active members of our community, and teach them BBC code along the way where needed. If your noob is getting too frustrated between the time restraint and learning the BBC code, you can just do the BBC code for them where needed.

Dear fellow noobies, this is a competition for you! Basically like king of the hill, except, you know, without the kings. To qualify as a noobie you must be less then 3 months old on the fourms. Please do not lie about your forum age!

Rules

For noobies: You will be responsible for most of the work when it comes to card and deck building. Your mentor is just suppose to help you, not do the work. You've got to come up with the idea and mechanic. Your mentor will help balance and iron it out.
For veterans:You have to be at least 8 months old on the forum and at least a hero member. DO NOT do the work for your newbie, only help with balancing and stuff they aren't really familiar with yet. And encourage them to go and learn. You're a teacher, so teach.

Tasks!

Task 1 for noobs: Card design, make a card, any card, any element any type with any mechanic, so long as it is original and will be debated. It must be submitted to the crucible once the debating is finished.
Task 1 for veterans:  instruct a newbie how to create a card following CI&A format, teaching him/her how to balance card, etc.

Task 2 for noobs: Deck building, Build a deck, any deck, upped or unupped, Requirements: it has to be somewhat original but given as how there are so many decks posted we won't require it be completely 100% original, that's damn near impossible. It has to be able to at least farm ai 3 with 50% win rate, no less then 26 games.
Task 2 for veterans: show trainer to those noobs who have never heard about it, as some of them may not have many cards yet. Short Description explaining the mechanic of a deck as well as why these cards and not others were chosen is required.

Task 3 for noobs: make a thread in off one of the off topic boards. This thread must reach the status of "Very hot Topic" meaning it needs to get over fifty posts in the duration of the task.
Task 3 for veterans: Comment a bit! Keep the thread alive. If people have questions, answer them. Or throw opinions and a lot of subjective comments in so other people are bound to have opinions themselves. You could also do what a guy named socrates did decades ago called the socratic method. Ask questions that you already know the answer to, and have the people learning answer them.

Task 4 for noobs:Post at least 10 reasonable replies in any topic(s).
Task 4for veterans: Vets will have to judge if replies are reasonable enough

Voting!

The whole community will be voting on each task. Everyone has a solid month to finish the tasks, then after voting will begin. Voting will last 1 week. Good luck to everyone! Please post threads to every task you did. In most cases for the 10 reasonable replies task, quotes should suffice.
