What about an 'Ideas' forum competition?
I've been thinking that it would be really good to have a event in which the Toribash community could help contribute to the forum/game by have one of their best ideas implemented. There are a lot of smart people in the community, so essentially, this event would be crowdsourcing their talents to hopefully produce good ideas that the staff could implement moving forward - even if there is only one idea that is guaranteed to be implemented, there might be a couple more ideas that are really good that could also be implemented.
The Admins/Smods would determine the criteria for judging the competition. Feasibility, positive impact, etc. perhaps. In addition to the winner getting his/her idea implemented, it could be worth rewarding them with additional prizes, so as to entice more participants.
I'd like suggestions on whether or not you think this idea is good or not and what we could do to improve it. I'd also like upper staff to chime in with the same thing.

only problem is most players dont know what the staff/admins can actually change
-----
maybe we could get hampa/devs to help host and support the event, toribash definetly needs something new, i feel like it hasnt really changed in forever

Reason: <24 hour edit/bump
what?
The GM team already did this once. They held a competition with rewards for whoever could come up with a decent event idea and promised to sponsor their event afterwards.
From what I saw though they didn't get to many good entries. Though its been a while so I can't remember to well.
I don't really care for this idea at all. There is already a good system in place to get events up and running through the GM Team for free. As someone who plans to be known in this community for running events I don't support this. Even with GM Sponsorship I plan on investing some of my TC and my Clan's TC into the prizes for said events, and I will always lose money by doing this, but thats fine. An event isn't something the host is supposed to profit off of, its something you do because you want to give back to the community and have fun with them on a grander scale.
Events are not supposed to be something to profit the host and I'm not just saying this randomly. I grew up through my high school life on a Wrestling team. One of the duties of being on said Wresting team was helping host events in the form of Tournaments. I didn't gain anything from helping with them and they were stressful as hell to manage, but when the day came to an end people always thanked us for our help and rewarded us out of the kindness of their hearts with stuff like food (because we were fat fucks).
Hosting the event and seeing people enjoy it is the reward you get as an event host, not TC and Items.

i dont think you understand what he is saying
what?
Hmmmm Oh I see what you are saying. Sorry I read this last night and when you said ideas I thought you meant for events their self. I see now that you're talking about ideas to improve the actual game/forum itself.
Well either way I don't support this. The community already contributes good ideas and most of the time the ideas thrown forth are just trash ideas that people are throwing out for the sake of increasing their post count. In all honestly I only see this event mostly getting a bunch of useless ideas submitted in hopes of getting a prize. And if there was a really good suggestion in that batch of bad ones then it would be from someone that already is actively trying to put out good ideas for the community already.
I don't support this and don't see it doing any good. Improving the game is reward in itself, I mean its not like the people that come up with the idea of to do the actual work to get it working. Thats the staffs job, so there really isn't much room to warrant a reward, though if the staff feels like rewarding someone for their ideas out of the goodness of their hearts thats another thing.
Just remember that the staff work to improve the game for free everyday and sacrifice a lot more time than it takes up to simply think up a rough idea and they get no material reward at all for it either.
Still Not Supported.
