I have an ideea - why not make a contest about the hybrids and xel'naga. A drawing contest but more complex this time (say draw a unit and structure), a mechanics contest (where we would have to come up with a possible technology for one of them) and maybe even a story contest about them (based on some things that are known from broodwar, sc background story and what we've seen this far about sc2). Other competition entries about them would be welcomed. What say you ?
I SAY NAY! because i cant draw. but i would submit for the mechanics contest and story contest most likely.
Yeah mechanics contest sounds good. Trouble is, I'm not familiar with the Starcraft lore which would be required to create something that actually sounds feasible I'd have a go at it nontheless.
/\ spam wait... are you saying it would be a multitude of competitions, like eight at once? or just one competition, requiring all of those things?
I think he means multiple contests at the same time because he states differnt kinds of contests in the opening post.
within this new contest there are multiple inner contests like the one before it with unit design story and poem. But this time it would have more then this 3 : like the mechanics ideea contest and others - ideeas are welcomed. But this is only for the Xel'naga and Hybrids. No other entries should be allowed if they are with protoss terran or zerg.
Hear, hear! I like this idea, and would gleefully enter the unit and building design contests this time. Just to make sure I got you, and to stimulate more specific discussion on what the particular categories might be: 1.) Unit design 2.) Building design 3.) Spell / Ability design 4.) Race Lore writing We could do those four, and for each one you could enter either for hybrids or Xel'Naga, although we would judge hybrid units alongside Zel'Naga units, buildings alongside buildings, etc. This sounds FUN! (Edit: oh, and I forgot to add, the prizes for these should be on the order of: 1st place: 5000 minerals, 2500 shop credit, drone 2nd place: 2500 minerals, 1000 shop credit, drone 3rd place: 2500 minerals, 1000 shop credit All participants: 500 minerals Not as significant as the last official contest, but the idea would be to give credit commensurate with the amount of work participants do: 500 minerals for participation is probably about right.
1. Unit design 2. Building design 3. Mechanics design (no spell or abillity) 4. Story (or something based on the lore known until now about this 2 species) 5. Technology design (my english isn't that good so here is what i thought - the interior of a place that belongs to one of them - either a xel'naga interior structure or spaceship or anything interior or a hybrid interior ) 6. Anathomy design (we've all seen the protoss/terran zerg anathomycal details from the campaign screen so why not make a contest makeing something similar on a creature xel'naga or hybrid without any armor parts). 7. supply ideeas - how we would imagine each of them would gain supply points (what sort of structure/technologie - i didn't want this to be in the mechanics because this should be something different that warfare mechanics). Other ideeas are welcomed.
