How about a Competition?

[Vorspire]

Sounds like a plan. If anyone is putting forward RL prizes, should they not be forwarded to Ryan or David to be held until the competition closes? - I bet they'd have a private mailbox.

Ryan has agreed to sponsor these competitions with prizes. At this point in time, those prizes will not be disclosed as we want to keep them secret until a real competition is created.

That is a bad idea because not everyone would vote fairly, and it would end up being a popularity contest.

Hmm you're right there, the thought did cross my mind, but I sugested anyway :P

By the way, did this idea happen to be inspired by Dream Build Play? :P

Not really, more inspired by lack of good things happening here on the boards, tons of negative remarks, tons of asshole comments, tons of people not helping other people.

That's what my comment about "activity that will surge up". I guess I should've included the word "positive" before activity, but that's what I was poking at. Thus, despite that I do not play, script, or generally do much with UO anymore, I'm excited for this. Something good for the community to focus on.

Greetings,

I would suggest you narrow down the category. To say just make a script, you may end up with another 100 useless daggers that do 100% damage.

Three categories would be cool. 1) Decoration - as a cool add-on, building or city. 2) Basic - Mobiles & Items (NPCs, Weapons, Armor,etc). 3) Advanced - Event or Server based script (Spawner, Skill System, etc)

I think by making three categories, you improve you chances of participation by various skill levels and more of our great community.

a dagger that does 100% damage isnt very inovative so obviously it wont win. No reason to narrow it down to anything specific at the moment. If people don't want to put effort into it, thats fine, they just wont win

Agreed. Who has time to code when there is so much to read in Starbucks?

[Peoharen]

I'm so out >.>
I'll be gone tomorrow till way past the dead line and I'm having timer issues.

I always have one or two problems with timers. They stop when they shouldn't (not Stop(), just lock up and fail to tick again).

Having specific categories limits the creativity of the competition.
