Another Jeff777 Competition/Prize Thread

(Think thread)

http://legacy.lclark.edu/faculty/jsm.../idea_bulb.jpg

I'm Baaaacckkkk. :evil: I've been away for 5 months due to school and work. Now, I can thankfully report that not only have I enrolled in college, but I made all A's (4.0 bitches) in my first semester. 2nd semester starts on Jan. 11th. :shadewink:

At any rate, I'm starting to have a bit more time these days since I cut back my work hours and I've gotten into the swing of things at school. That being so, I feel it's time for you, DV Lounger's, to have yet another classic Jeff777 competition/prize thread.

Résumé below.

At any rate, I need ideas for a great competition. Something that can rile the community, something exciting, something involving, something.. that you may be thinking about right now? Go ahead and post it. Winner of the unborn competition will receive $50.00 USD via https://www.eateasy.co.uk/images/paypallogo.jpg

Freestyle competition.

edit: grats on the 4.0 dude.

Imma just subscribe to this thread.

Not sure how the games are supposed to go, but I'll say something photography related...

I'm prob just going to be here for the lols

Congrats Jeff...keep up that 4.0. It feels damn nice, doesn't it? :D

We should all post nudes of ourselves and whoever gets the highest rating wins!

How about a contest where people try their best to draw out/photograph some scene they had in a dream?

I would imagine that, when someone submits a picture, people could "Thank" the post if they like it. Then after so many days or whatever, you would put the top 3 pictures up for voting and whoever gets the most votes out of that wins.

Welp, I'm out then. Unless people really like sketchy stick figures :shadewink:

God..don't remind me of next semester.

I thought about that, but I wanted this to be catered toward the off-topic crowd than the on-topic crowd. Otherwise the thread will get tossed in on-topic. :>

I even thought about a "draw the staff" contest. Hrm.

Drawing comical caricatures of the staff might be good. Like pictures that exaggerate their typical attitude or behaviour. We could probably get a few laughs from it.

Or just drawing members in general. Or drawing Dreamviews. :V

And of course wb Jeff, wasn't the same without you. <3

I would LOVE an excuse to really spend some time on drawing/painting one of my dreams.

I like the idea of drawing a staff member. +1 to that.

i think a dreamviews elimination game 3 would be nice

Oh God no.

i have never experienced one, and i would like to. i couldn't be bothered scrolling through 278 or whatever pages, i wanna be their when it happens!

Phuq no. :P

I like the draw a dream or caricature of staff ideas (or even some other topic). Photo manipulations would also be a good idea, so it wouldn't be based solely on traditional graphic skills.

A mystery game. I win. Now cash up:D

Dream charades. [Draw I guess, I'm not really sure how that would work.]

Hack accounts and put words into each other's mouths while trying to figure out who really said what.

Scavenge hunt. [Links to various sites looking for clues and what not] < Could probably tie hangman into that as well.

Spot all the differences in a drawling etc. ...and on and on and on...

Thanks. :) And.. not sure about a freestyle comp. We've had an insurmountable amount of those archived here already.

It'll probably be a very.. very.. very.. long time before another one of those takes place. The first one lasted 4 months. The second lasted 1.3 years. I'm not liking this trend. :eek: Besides, the community could use a break from it for a while.

Thanks.

Elaborate on this a bit, if you will. Posts of quality? If so, where? In the on-topic forums, off-topic forums? Or just spam/senseless posts with a required number of characters?

If it's the latter, I'm going to have to say that's out of the question. :P

It would be in off-topic, and no, it wouldn't be a spamming game. That would just be a trap to ban people. :P

I haven't gotten this far... let me think of something...

OK, the person that sets off the timer would set off a discussion of some sort. Then people will try to reply to your post the quickest. Then they would try to get the quickest reply to the previous post, &c, &c, &C. But they have to have a specific number of words in their post so that it isn't a quick answer like "Yes, what about you?". Instead, you will have to post a response/elaboration of that that matches previously set criteria.

For example, let's say you need... 50 words minimum. Random number, you don't have to use it. No randomly changing the subject, no making senseless/incoherent posts, rules similar to that. Overall goal: try to be the quickest to respond in a thread of rapid-fire, meaningful conversation. It would test your skills as a speed-typer and your ability to make quick conversation while staying on-topic.

At the end of the game, the creator of the game would count the number of posts each person made that replied to the most recent post that added to the conversation. Or, in different words, a person who didn't respond to a post alongside another person. After all of these are added up, you give the prize to the person with the most posts of that type. Of course, you have to sign up in advance, so if you join in the middle of the game your posts are not counted for anything. ;)

OK, I laid out much more than I had intended, but who the fuck cares?! :D Feel free to tweak the rules if you want to or ask questions if you still don't understand.

well if we look at this trend we could keep the community busy for at least 4 years

One of the first things I said... IT'S NOT A SPAM GAME!!! :pissed:

Also, I will give you your 1000th thanks. :D

No spam games. Make it something worthwhile...that can be appreciated for years to come when we look back on it as old fogies. Like something artistic, creative, and funny. There have already been some good suggestions. A photo-manipulation game could be hilarious...where you take pics that members have posted in the pics thread and do something crazy with it. :P

I said it isn't spam and that it has to be meaningful conversation. What part of that don't of that don't you understand?

Was I speaking to you? No. Chill out.

Though if you're going with the photomanip option you should probably ask the users for permission to humiliate them. :l

Well, it seemed reasonable to infer that you were speaking to me. I was the only one to suggest something that sounded like a spam game at first. Sorry about that, though.

Right. Though, thinking about that idea a bit more.. I'm not sure how it would differ from this thread. Unless the caricatures were done by hand instead of by computer.

start a new topic. get regulars to reply, only instead of posting their responses public, have them send the reply they would make to a staff member. once you have them all re-post them without saying who said what. then see if anyone can guess them all correctly.

been meaning to pitch that idea for like, years. thought it might be fun :l

I say do exactly what you are doing here. Have people think of the best ideas then have people rate them. Highest rating wins!

Or, maybe a "best sig" or "best avatar" picture... Just throwin out ideas that pop into my head...

Signature wouldn't work out. Not everyone can afford good programs for themselves, and if someone else took their idea and made one for them it just wouldn't be the same. Kinda like cheating, right?

Shame though, that is very good suggestion.

Have people record them singing a song or something and let everyone listen to it and go from there.

Yeah, then maybe people can play around with the recordings. Add some news beats or sounds to it, speed it up or slow it down, combine two recordings into a duet, etc. There's lots of fun stuff we could do with this.

The karaoke is not a bad idea..

Poker tournament. :/

How about writing a short-story form of a dream?

yeh, short story (or long, if you wish), everyone has to write 12 stories, 1 each month. everyone rates the storys at the end of the month, person with best accumelated score wins?

Also throwing out the idea of us drawing ourselves in a way of how we see ourselves.

If that makes sense.

I like that idea. Though it would be a bit hard for some people... BTW, your 100th thanks.

The pictures would all be of greek gods. Some people have distorted views of themselves, excluding me of course. I'm too perfect to be egotistical. :D

Me too. Maybe people could draw themselves as their favourite mythical character.

Many thanks to everyone that contributed useful ideas, suggestions and tips that aided me in deciding what the next game should be be about. For fear of being redundant.. we're going to do things a little differently this time. I think it would be great for the community to have a chance to fully customize this particular competition. Therefore, YOU decide what kind of competition it should be. I've added a poll that's set to close 10 days from this post so go ahead and cast your ballot. Thanks. :cheeky:

Should have made it 5 days. 10 seems really long. Or heck, 3 days would have been fine I think.

Well traffic to this thread has slowed quite a bit. 10 seemed like a fair number. My original thought was 14 days. :P

Bump.

Bumpy bump bump.

I casted my vote for the "Drawing community/staff members" but I really think it'd be awesome if we also go the opportunity to draw DreamViews headquarters as well (i.e. the entire staff sitting around a large conference table in a monochrome blue room)

Bumpity bump.

I'm satisfied with 11 votes. Still one day left though.
