Courthold Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Ok, i need you guys to give us ideas here. We're hoping to run a contest in the not too distant future, i'll let you know more about possibly prizes when i can. But, we need something that *everyone* can enter, so it couldn't be something like "draw such and such" or "make a small game". Ideas please, and they can be as wacky as possible, so get thinking! If we use anyones idea i'll see what we can do about getting them some small prize too (aren't you lucky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esseb Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 What, a contest on the lowest common denominator? Whistling? Wait, no, mustn't keep out the muties . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courthold Posted September 9, 2002 Author Share Posted September 9, 2002 Maybe we'll have seperate contests for different prizes or something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 #1: Summarize the most exciting, fantastically brilliant (made-up) adventure game EVER in 50 engrossingly beautiful words... the kinda stuff they would put on the box #2: Write a comic strip involving a known adventure game person (Creator, Character etc.) No drawing skills necessary, just razor sharp wit #3: Get yourself photographed whilst advertising Adventure Developer and simaltaneously humiliating yourself in front of many people.

rory Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 How about an MI style insult competition? I don't know how that'd work. I'm new to the board by the way. Howdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Nice idea, but mojo already stole it from you, rory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin_Br Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 How about... Design the biggest/original/complex/ puzzle for an adventure game. This list should give you an idea of what I mean: http://agdzine.adventuredevelopers.com/technique/puzzle_theory.htm --Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 I was about to suggest the take a photo of yourself embarresing yourself in front of a bunch of people but it was going to be dressing up like your favorite (or just a ) character from well known games.

Squinkycakes Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Which reminds me: I was thinking of dressing up as Leisure Suit Larry for Halloween... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adventurer Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I like the design a game idea, everone's got a word prosessor and it fits the theme of the site. The comic strip Ideas cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rory Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 yeah I like the adventure game idea too. could be a real winner! (winner gettit? I kill me. Or more to the point I should kill me) Heres a few quick ideas: 4) Describe in no less than fifty words, which adventure game character you most resemble and why. 5) superimpose your head onto an adventure game screenshot, funniest wins (might take a bit of skill) 6) a caption competition, using a screenshot from an adventure game 7) you must complete THE THREE TRIALS! THE THREE TRIALS! THE THREE TRIALS! Arg - couldn't help it! 8) solve a hypothetical adventure puzzle, in the most humorous way possible! Actually I like that last one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeleton_Bob Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 To be honest, i`d go with scabbs ideas,,,,i though they were great(and i think i could win then)........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Build on scabbs ideas, hows about advertise Adventure Developers out in the open world whilst humiliating yourself, for example, run around naked in a busy high street with an AD sign covering your crotch or, take an AD banner to a footy match and hope the camera picks it up... or something of the sort. m0ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Or..(another idea, similar) we could try and advertise AdventureDeveloper in other creative ways (other than the internet). We could phone in on radio stations and mention AD, or make our own custome car number plates...the most creative wins. Evidence may be hard to come by though, particularly for us poor people with no digital cameras / computer microphones / compatible scanners. Or... a little simpler here...Maybe a motto for AD? Something involving the letters AD? Here's an embarassingly bad example: "AD: Ever since 2000* AD" *speculation. Finally...a little similar to the above suggestion...how about we decide what AD really means? Apple Dunkers? After Dark? Acne Dusters? Angry Dorks? Now that would be easily done (Hell, do it on the forum)...and the best 'AD' wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeleton_Bob Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Well how bout: Antichrist Demons (court that is) Army Dweebs Aussie Development (they are all really aussies trying to take over the world) how bout a poem competition, Make a poem about AD it is such a shame that i can`t make a game just as well as AD does it i hope that i will one day stop cry, cause i am manic depressioned because of you lol.....

Courthold Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 See, because of the range of prizes we hope to have, i think 2 or more different contests might be a good idea, 1 every few months or something? That way we can use several of the ideas. I still think one that involves embarassing yourself would be cool, but i don't know if many people would enter that (the photo one for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeleton_Bob Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 yupp courty...agree. I would enter that embarrasing thingy atleast but i think my poem contest idea is fun. Allthough not everyone is as brilliant as me on that one...lol hehe. No seriously there are a lot of things that can be done. -Write a conversation between your favourite adventuregame characters -record on your computer while your singing a song to praise AD -handdraw a scene "missing" in your favourite game, the quality shouldn`t count, just the phunnyness -tattoo AD logo on you chin -take plastical surgery to look like either Elvis or this guy I would enter them all!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esseb Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Assuming comi and emi wasn't made: most probable explanation of what the big whoop really was. Or is that just an evil ploy of me to find out the answer?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
