User talk:Cobalt/Community Event

already got a mafia game and a big queue. &mdash; Warw/Wick 14:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, well thats one reason why I listed a load of possible options. Im only considering this atm, not like i can start anything immediately. This page was created just to see if there was any interest. As i haven't been here so long, I could hardly just randomly create an event and expect people to participate.--Cobalt | Talk  18:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Most of these have been done before in some way or other, tbh. Not that that's bad, just saying I am really looking at the "Completely Different" option and wondering. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 12:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I know that most of them have been done, where do you think i got the ideas from, creativity!? :P. Ok, i will try to think of something more original between now and the time more than 3 people notice this page. At least theres no rush ;p--Cobalt | Talk  12:33, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * YEAH! Throw in some sort of competition and a winning prize, and that's pretty much it.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 16:41, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Sounds like fun, 'cept mauis not in for that so lets think of something else :P--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 16:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Let me see if I get this straight: you like the wet t-shirt idea but will dismiss it because Maui wouldn't participate? Man, that's some serious boob segregation.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]<strong style="color: black;">reanor 17:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * What can we say? I'm that good. [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 17:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Then be good and agree with showing your goodies so we can get on with the wet t-shirt thingy and be happy :D[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]<strong style="color: black;">reanor 17:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * LOL. Touche... But on a serious note, Cobalt.  I mentioned this on my own talkpage, but recently Penny-Arcade hosted a contest where participants had to write stories about WoW that were exactly 10 words long.  Maybe something like that? [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 17:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I(1 word) logged(2) into(3) GuildWiki(4) and(5) Maui(6) refused(7) to(8) show(9) boobs(10). Like that?<strong style="color: black;">reanor 17:35, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Doesn't Ereanor have a girlfriend whose breasts he can harass (10)? [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 21:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Who needs an event when you can just put Ereanor and Maui on the same talkpage-- - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 11:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sixteen words. I am afraid that you just lost, Cobalt (10). [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 20:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Ideas for the Event

 * HUGE Rock Paper Scissors contests
 * I Gonna Kill You! Tournaments, contests to see who can kill a volunteer whatever the most times. Use said character and a resmer hero set to neutral.
 * Races throughout Tyria. Admittedly more limited, as only proph toons can participate, but the idea is that there will be however many runners, and a judge to make it fair. First person to reach certain checkpoints wins that portion and attains "points" and whoever has the most points wins the race. 10 seconds are shaved off of the builds that are exceptionally creative.
 * Dodgeball Tournaments, 12 mesmers with crap armor, air attunement, lightning orb and maxed out air magic go at it in a GvG scrimmage with 4 judges to make sure it's fair. The flag stand is the line.

Now to go sign your post. lol --Powersurge360 18:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * HUGE R-P-S: lagg kills. I loved the Dodgeball idea though.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]<strong style="color: black;">reanor 18:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You could always go tournament style, and split it up into different zones. Round 1, section 1 go to Traveler's Vale, round 1, sections 2 and 3 go to Perdition Rock. Whatever, lol. --Powersurge360 18:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Dodgeball sounds fun, though we'd have to co-ordinate some complicated guild-guesting operation. If we were to do something in-game rather than on the wiki we could also do things such as scrimmage tournaments, who can create the biggest infuse/damage packet etc. As for racing - we could split into small parties - whoever reaches the portal first goes to the next round in a more dangerous area. I'll go read Maui-boi's talkpage and steal some possible ideas from there in a second too. I think it would be easier to get more people if we did an on-wiki event rather than an in-game event though, but whatever people want. I'll think about this tonight and return tomorrow with new suggestions, and possibly some kind of pole. I mean poll. Yes. In terms of prizes, I will fish through my storage account and find something to make it worth the winners while - and therefore a waste of everyone elses time as im too poor for runner-up prizes (you can have Starter Shields :P).--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 19:18, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * A number of GuildWiki contributors don't even have Guild Wars installed anymore. D: [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Precisely. And some, like myself, have found Guildwiki to be an even more frighteningly effective time sink than GW itself--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 19:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok my list of new ideas amounts to:
 * Some kind of guild wars related trivia quiz
 * A create an alternate plot for one of the tyrian factions for GW2 contest - cos Anets ideas are basically "Everyone phails and its all your fault"
 * A describe your best/funniest/coolest/ est GW moment in X words contest
 * A make-a-decent-sig-for-cobalt-cos-he-fails-images contest...ahem

and old ideas which look increasing favourable are
 * Design-a-Skill contest (haven't actually seen one of these done before, though im sure it has been)
 * Userbox contest (easy to set up, difficult for me to screw up my first event)

Any thoughts?-- - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 11:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Yeah, last time YOU ran one xP (joke) . Ok well tbh im mainly looking at the less original ideas as i've never done any kind of event on Guildwiki before--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 11:43, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Something just sounds counter-intuitive about holding a trivia quiz on a wiki. <font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  12:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, it hasnt happened on a Wiki before I think, so that'll work ;) (one problem is to find gurlz). And quizzes on teh Wiki itself arent really good anyways, "EC!" + "Slow Wiki is Slow!" = baed. Better do that IG or on IRC. I've been to some quizzes, and everyone had an equal chance on winning (cept I got near every Skill question then, and Prog stole all the Trivia questions). --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 13:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
