2015 Contest Discussion
Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:29 pm
I figure it’s a bit soon to have a new contest yet, we’ve not long finished the voting for the Christmas one. But that doesn’t mean we can’t discuss some ideas for future contests. If we can get a bunch of ideas down, then we can get more of them arranged without having to have a discussion beforehand all the time, and it takes some of the pressure off me to come up with them.
Here are the previous contests. I’ve missed out those that came at the very start, as they were a bit overloaded or didn’t have much detail (like Heroes with just a description). They are in descending order.

What's been popular recently was a theme to base the contest around, notably present in the Christmas Contest; four towers and a hero based on Christmas or winter themes, and the Four Elements; one tower for each of the four classic elements. At the beginning, contests were smaller, but had a lot more entries which made a better balance. Since contests now have an average of six entries, they have been bigger to make them appear to have more content. We have a lot more members now sharing their ideas, so we could go back and have some smaller contests to ease them into it, before we have a big one again.
But anyway, this thread is for people to discuss ideas for contests throughout the year. Either repeats of old contests, or some new ideas we haven't done before.
