-Windrider- Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) G&T Contest #2 is coming...that is, it would be, if I had any idea what the theme should be. So, go for it! EDIT: Actually, the title of this topic gives me an idea... Edited February 20, 2016 by -Windrider- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The answer to that question is Mafia, probably. MoUP doesn't come close. 1 Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quisoves Potoo Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Mmmmmm... I'd be game for a Mafia theme. The only caveat is that they'd have to be comparatively short games... But then, they'd probably be rather experimental, so that might not be a problem. The Godcousin. How's that for a title?

ToaTImeLord Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'll be starting MATORAN SMACK DOWN 2 in a bit so no battleing game please.Maybe a good mystery game.

fishers64 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 On third thought, scratch all of that. The Most Dangerous Game is the Welcome to HappyLand series. 2 Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghidora131 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 On third thought, scratch all of that. The Most Dangerous Game is the Welcome to HappyLand series. I would say you're right, due to me making the series and being obsessed with it, but... It actually is the most dangerous game. Bloodthirsty murder if you don't get it right? I wonder if a group-based Happyland or a Happyland of a different style would be good for this sort of thing, or perhaps the series is too bland to make anything out of it.

Portalfig Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 G&T Contest 2: Pacifism This would be different, as it would force us to focus on non-combat/death games. Which, imho, would be pretty interesting. And basically the exact opposite of what the topic title is. =P G&T Contest 2: Anti-Mafia Whatever is going on, there certainly aren't any Mafioso around here. Nope. Not at all. G&T Contest 2: Adventure is out there! ADVENTURE, YEAH! I don't know, haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I would down for a theme that involved danger in some way. Not real danger, of course. But the usual danger one finds when playing a game in this forum. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

But the usual danger one finds when playing a game in this forum.Happyland covers that. What of a specifically team-driven game? groups of players could be doing interesting feats in under 48 hours, like writing a song, or designing a banner, or scaling...

Trijhak Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm gonna go with Portalfig's suggestion of adventure. There aren't really enough adventure-ish games here, like a text-based adventure game. Been considering starting one, actually... Alternatively, we could go with rejuvenating one of the old classics like the old Caption Contest, but with a twist. That was a popular one on the old forum pre-dataclysm, but it seems it hasn't taken hold post-dataclysm. Once more, alternatively, we could go with theme of hybridising games. Finally, there is also the theme of a game that can't decide its theme and constantly changes. Like one round is a caption contest and the next is a one-round Tehnic Tournament, and the next is a short Mafia game. Quote On Bota Magna, everything is about to fall apart.

ToaTImeLord Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Maybe a teamed puzzle game. Also MATORAN SMACK DOWN 2is up anyone want to join?

-Windrider- Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 One of my goals is to avoid as much redundancy as possible with the last G&T contest to keep things exciting and fresh. A few ideas in here might do just that... What would work better for everyone here? March? April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 March = spring break, but that also means I'll be running MoUP 4 and/or XXIX then, leaving me swamped.

A few ideas in here might do just that... What would work better for everyone here? March? April? April. Theme idea: I mean it'd be weird for another forum to have a "crossover" theme for a contest, but it could work? Pulse's hybrid idea sounds interesting, although I have a feeling it might produce less entries than other themes might.

ToaTImeLord Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 AprilMost people will be starting there games in March. Lets leave this game for its own month in April all the other games well have ended leaving the public needing a new fresh game.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 April would be better for me than March. I have more free time that month than the other, so I would be able to participate more. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

-Windrider- Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Unfortunately polls can't be added in the Creative Outlet subforums, so I'll just keep track of the preferences.

-Windrider- Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 (this is actually for this topic)Could we some how have some type of teamed puzzle game tost in? I kinda like the idea of having an activity on the side during the contest. While too much focus on it might distract from playtime in the entries themselves, with the right balance it could keep interest going throughout the entry period. Could you explain in more detail what you have in mind? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghidora131 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Perhaps you mean something along the lines of the Versus series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yeah, the VERSUS series of games seems to fit the mold of most of the ideas suggested here. The thing is, it also has player eliminations, which are similar to Mafia game deaths. New Idea: Perhaps we could have a Trivia games contest, put the "Trivia" back in "Games and Trivia." 3 Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you explain in more detail what you have in mind?Before I ended the Matoran Smack Down series(sad day) I made teams but each player was still fighting for themselves. There still on the game topic if you want more detail on how they worked. But back to the puzzle part of it all. I was think around the lines of each team gets its own puzzle and if one person in the team gets it they live if not they must vote off someone from there team. You could also have certain players with special powers like a "get out of death card". The puzzles themselves Maybe a riddle with a trivia spin to it? Yes... maybe...

-Windrider- Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 In a little over two weeks, the most dangerous game is coming...or is it?In any case, there is going to be a contest starting on the first of April, so I am prepared for the mountain of joke entries. If two people want to help out with the little side activity, please PM me - I don't think I could host both the contest and the activity at the same time.
