Future Contest Ideas

[matthias720]

Seeing how Slimeinator's "A New Era" contest had less than steller results, I think we should discuss the kinds of contests that we would like to see in the future (and the prizes that go with them!)  Anyway, feel free to take any of my ideas and play with them as you will.

This is what has been suggested so far:

CONTEST IDEAS:
-CQ themed poetry contest (don't laugh, I think it has potential)
-a new flemoid design contest (concept and/or basic design)
-a "do something Chex Quest-like in a non-Doom game" contest (i.e. a level that has something shaped like a CQ object, a level that is shaped like a CQ level, a level with a goal that is similar to a CQ level, etc...)
-CQ wallpaper design contest
-a speedrun contest for THE ENTIRE canonical series. 1-3.
-a CQ video of any genre (live-action or animated)

CONTEST PRIZE IDEAS:
-a personalized bedroom in the CQ Lounge


Please tell me what yiu think of these ideas, and don't hesitate to add your own too.
*raises glass of punch* "Here's to all future CQFF contests!"

*EDIT: If there are no objections, I will post any suggested ideas here in the first post.

Perhaps this should be moved elsewhere? I dunno, but it sounds like a good idea.

[Batmanifestdestiny]

I like the idea, but you can already ave your own lounge room

You just have to edit the WAD your self.


Other than that, it sounds like a plan!

[Kuwabara]

Ah, but remember BMD, there are those here (like me) who can not make .WAD's.

As for a contest, there can be a speedrun contest for THE ENTIRE canonical series. 1-3.

[ChexCommander]

Great prize idea! We'll deck out your room with flying colors if you win!

[Kuwabara]

But what if you don't want flying colors?

[The Slimeinator]

Moving to CQ Discussion.

Carry on, chaps.

[Richie]

Let me know of any ongoing contests and I'll update the news fader. 

[matthias720]

Will do.

[ChexCommander]

This doesn't work retroactively, correct? Because then I already would have awarded Notiswas for the GameMaker CQ4 and Arch129 for his sweet CQ desktop (it's yellow and black, check it out in the gallery)

For design contests, would this be a concept idea, or a full sprite based design, in order to enter?

Poetry would actually be pretty awesome, too.

[Kuwabara]

Perhaps a RL video involving Chex Quest. It can be a reenactment of a fanfic, or it can be something made up right there. All genres welcome.

[ChexCommander]

Yes yes yes, CQ movies! We need more!

No, these are not retroactive contests.  As for the design contests, it would be for concept and/or basic design based.  To avoid further confusion, I will update the list to include this.

Added!

-a live-action CQ video of any genre

How about animations and other kinds of videos as well? I know TGA talked about a FraggleScript CQ Movie (he's got college, so it's in limbo), and Atarian does Machinima, so...

Alrighty, changed again!
