A casual contest thing.

Consistent problem with previous contests was that they were too literate for the actual playerbase. I am all for super literate contests but when you exclude 95% of the active community you are left with a possible 5% that is probably not even interested. Introducing 'simpler' art like screenshots, art, music, poems, or shortform stories, is a good way of introducing people at least, so I agree with you.

I was just throwing these alternate contests out there as a way of providing future ideas. I suppose the hard part is getting started now (and since it's just Frizan doing this.. it'll be harder).

@Odin

Starting big I can't see going anywhere... except right where the forum is now. Again, I'd be willing to help with the initial startup, but it's not really up to me if I'd have that kind of ability, and I'm not sure what Frizan really plans on that count.

So I think I'll rest my case and wait.

I have not personally brought that up to any mods, because I assumed that naturally there would be more than just I running the Contest section and judging entries. I mean, the recruitment thread started by Hank is even called Recruiting new Contest Mods. Mods, plural. But given as I am the only one listed in the Contest Mod List on the Guild at this point in time, I can only assume there are no others. In light of Hank and Ruby's absence, I will have to independently recruit judges.

@Frizan

Recent absence? I've been around.

While Hank pops in somewhat rarely, both do pop into the discord. I suggest looking at the discord, given that's where much of the activity lies at the moment.

Unless you've heard about my extended LoA. But even during that I'm still helping out where/when able.

@Ruby

I'd been waiting for about a month or so for some word on other contest mods, or some kind of green light for me to go ahead and start. Even longer for something from Hank, who started the recruitment two(almost three) months ago.

I didn't go directly to either of you to bug you about updates, since I assumed you'd get back eventually. I'm just getting restless, and am eager to revive the Contests section.

@Frizan

I'm not aware of any conversations between Hank and yourself, but I'll PM you in a few.
