Tournaments, Contests, etc.


Infinity

Recommended Posts

In this time period where we wait for SF games things go a little slow around here. I was thinking of asking you guys what you think of contests of say art, writing, and/or other things? Just to spice up these boards a bit.

Also, what about tournaments for SFC? Clan battles, friendly death matches (I love oxymorons), etc. I am quite familar with how tournaments work, so I was wondering if you would like some assistance in starting up some tournaments when SFC rolls around.

ESF and I were talking about that. We were also thinking of ranks. You know how sometimes on forums theres a rank under your screenname that changes according to # of posts? We were thinking that title could change depending on your piloting skills (if you win more tornaments then your ranking goes up). Anyways, I'm sure even if the forum itself doesn't organize some tournament form, its members will.

The art/writing contests sound fun to me. I'm all for it.

Agreed, but post-based rank thing could cause problems with nwer members, if they felt left out....if you wern't careful

If you don't make a big deal out of them, titles won't alienate anybody.

Instead of titles for tourneys, though, medals would work. Just little icons under the name.

That would be awesome, I like that idea. And the ranking isn't post-based but based on our pilot performance, so new people would stand just a good a chance as anyone else. BUt me likey the medal idea more

Postcount ranks do not alienate people so long as the ranks do not make new members look inferior and that permissions to forums aren't based on them.

Ranks based on winning contests, however, will alienate people. Also, I do not know of any mods that would work in that way for phpbb. I don't want to risk creating a security or stability issue by writing untested mods.

If SFO starts a tournament bracket, it will be seperate from the forums. The medals idea would work as it would require no forum mods, someone can just put it in their sigs.

Actually, DZ, I tend to disagree, though I think you have something slightly different in mind. If nothing else, ranks based on post counts encourage "+1!!!" style posts, especially from those who have been around the shortest period of time.

I hate to bump an old topic, but hey I'd be wasting space if I wanted to create a new one. Anyway, are there any plans for a tournament forum or something. It can be assumed that all SF games from now on will have some sort of WiFI connectability...

Ranks based on winning contests' date=' however, will alienate people.[/quote']

There could just be a little medal symbol that the winner from the previous contest gets to wear until the next contest. :D?

Other than that, I'm outta ideas, partially because I don't have a DS and therefore it's highly unlikely that I will be getting SFC and be able to participate in any such contests.

But then again, when Shadows of Lylat is finished... I'll be all over any contests made for that game. >.>

If your flying skills are like your driving skills in MKDS, There's no competition. And yes I know I'm going to be eating my words and boasts when this game comes out.
