Imagination Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Currently I'm working to maybe start a monthly competition in Canterlot. Called 'Arcade Arena', every month there would be a posted game and a side challenge called 'Imagination's Challenge'. The regular competition would work like a high-scores board, while the side challenge would be having to meet a challenging score.At the present time, prizes for the Arcade Arena are some nifty badges that I'm working on.HOWEVER,The point of this thread is not to pitch the idea. The point of this thread is to see if there's interest, and if this kind of competition would be worth holding at all.Please answer the poll if you're interested or not, and even include your own thoughts if you wish.Again, this is to see if there's interest in such a concept as a gaming competition. Not a think-tank for ideas for said competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenzyhero Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Honestly, my biggest qualm with this is the following: What kind of games would we be competing with/on? There are currently 3,670 users registered. Take into account that there are duplicates, one-time users, and inactive users, something like XBL or PSN wouldn't work, and considering the cost of a gaming PC and/or a reliable connection for conpetitive purposes, not to mention the , nor would Steam.Do you mean like a flash game or something? As much as I would like to participate, I highly doubt I would be capable, due to many more important matters; I feel as though others would sympathize with me on this. Not to mention the slight lack of initiative and the intense amount of organization...Also, what made you think somebody would NOT pick pancakes if they weren't senile? Pancakes are bucking awesome!

Imagination Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 The games would all be 100% free and 100% accessible on the net for the regular challenge, as I had hoped would be obvious. No sense in having a board-wide videogame contest if half the members who are interested don't have the game.It would work like this:Arcade Arena: SeptemberANGRY BIRDS1st - loliwin - 9,999,999,9992nd - lolnoobs - 9,999,999,9983rd - lolimthird -9,999,999,9974th -whatevs - 1And so on and so forth. The side challenge would be things like:Imagination's ChallengeScore 100,000 points in Rainbow Dash AttackThe 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place players in the high scores get a nifty badge and bragging rights. Those who complete the side challenge also get a nifty badge.And yes, Pancakes. Should pancakes be what the people desire, then I shall carry on with this competition in the name of pancakes.

frenzyhero Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 We should totally make a baking game with PP... Back on topic, how would be post our high scores? Would we post screen caps? If you'd like this done, and a response of people professing interest, you're going to need to think things through more. I only ask for more information on how this would work.

Davroth Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm all for it. I'd totally enter in this if it's a game I can play. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagination Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 you're going to need to think things through more.The point of this thread is not to pitch the idea. This competition has been planned out for months. This thread is only for interest. If you really want to know, you'll have to wait for when it's active.

Volt Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Meh, my blood speaks against my mind and heart... I guess I could enter this. They say competition is a good thing. Not sure if competition in front of PC is, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Colton Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 If I had to happen any of the games that would run during the events I'd be happy to have a go at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenzyhero Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well, then all things aside, then I would say there is a great interest, and I would be no exception.And don't take my words out of context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelEagle Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well, then all things aside, then I would say there is a great interest, and I would be no exception.And don't take my words out of context.Stop being so combative, Frenzy. What you said seemed odd to Imagination considering the OP; what he read and how he responds to it is up to him. Maybe try clarifying yourself?I like this a lot. Of course we'd need something else other than Angry Birds because failure, but there are so many good Pony flash games that I'm sure we can roll. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewind Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well, then all things aside, then I would say there is a great interest, and I would be no exception.And don't take my words out of context.I agree with Steel. Imagination is taking the time to put together something fun for the community, so that attitude really is not necessary. You're new around here, so here's some advice: relax and try to respond in a positive way. We're not out to get you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenzyhero Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Okay, okay. I guess maybe the stance on my previous comments made my last one seem hostile. I sincerely mean that I am interested in this idea. My only concern is the fact that we might not have enough people to participate or games that garner enough interest. I agree with Steel.
