Post your Competition ideas here!

Heya'll, so I've got a good idea. Not just some kind of boring card/deckbuilding/writing competition again. I present to you, The 5 Minute Forum Game Challenge. It's inspired by real-life events.

Like I said, this isn't your usual kind of competition. So, the rules are a little bit different. But I'm pretty sure it could work pretty well anyways. I think.

So, basically, you would enter the competition by finding one of the COs in chat. They would then PM you the prompt. The prompt would be the name of the competition, followed by a short excerpt. I've prepared two examples: "Weapon Forgery - Become the ruler of Zanzarifica by forging the ultimate Golden Sword," or " Underground Dragons - Using subterfuge and deceit, become the last surviving Dragon." The prompt would be specific, but open to a lot of different interpretations. Now, once you're messaged the prompt, then it gets fun.

See, after sending a PM with the prompt, the CO starts the timer. You have 5 minutes to type out the rules to this game. You have to explain how the game is played, how a winner is determined, and as many intricacies of it as you have time for. When the 5 minute timer runs out, whatever you've had time to type is your submission. The COs will copy/paste it and save it for the submission thread, where people will vote on which idea could actually work as a real forum game.

Card Design Competition: Create a card of any of the forum users that have/are.. (won war, placed top 7 in BL, Masters of an Element, etc.) using their avatar, name, and favorite element on their profile!

Writing Competition: Write about the day in the life of.. (a Cockatrice, an Otyugh, antiaverage, etc.)!

Art Competition: More MS Paint competitions about a specific subject, such as cards from the game (think that's been done though), Marks of an Element, Forum Avatars, etc. I think these are the best Art Competitions because... Come on, it's paint. Everybody can use paint.

Just a few ideas that come to mind at the moment, I'll post more later

Card or Deck Competition: Make a card/deck related in some way to the famous novel Don Quixote.

Thought of this because I'm reading Don Quixote for independent reading in school.

I have a suggestion for deck-building competition. You see, for few couple of months I was working on Pixelated False Gods series, where I essentially took False Gods' decks and personalized them into pixelated beings. The competition is basically the opposite - people draw beings, whether FGs, elders or anything, and then deckbuilders are gonna build decks around those beings.

Rules are simple:
One person draws elemental being, then the other builds a deck around them. After deck are built, people vote for their favorite artwork-deck pair. The pair with most votes wins.
There's only one artwork-deck pair. Sadly, ArtworkA-deckA and artworkA-deckB just isn't gonna work.
Obviously, the artwork is supposed to be original. No stealing or borrowing. Artpieces are also should be drawn specifically for the competition.

And that's about it.

This is a lovely idea. We may use this idea in future, however it won't be for a while because:
a) We just ran a DB comp
b) we are about to run an art comp requested by an admin
c) Brawl will mean a slow-down of Competition Section

If / When we use it, we'll let you know

Redux of False Gods: Reloaded but with a few changes:

1) cards can be removed if only one copy exists in the current deck
2) shards are less limited (how much at COs discretion)
3) no submissions too close to any in the original (again, COs discretion)
4) any other changes COs see fit to make

These would make for a much different pool of submissions so no worries about overlap.

Card + Art Design: A card with a name that is one word which is longer than 10 letters

I also want to voice my support for this suggestion

A competition where people have to submit funny screenshots from the game. A lot of hilarious things happen during the game, would be fun to share them~
