I'm new here but i've heard that there have been competitions in the past at spiderweb. Do you think there should be a competition, and if so to win what game? (Multiple game options in poll.)

Yes, to win all the games they made + the ones they will make.

Maybe that's a bit too greedy, but I think that they should make a competition...
They probably will make one with BoA.

I don't really care what's involved in the competition, either way it would be a bit of fun and a way to win one of their games. Hehe you could guess i voted for exile, just a tad bit obsessed that's all. :P

A good thing to do before putting up a poll is to make sure everything is spelled correctly. It's just wierd to see Geneforge spelled with an extra "r" and to have trilogy messed up as well.

*double checks the spelling on this post*

LOL yes i didn't notice the spelling mistakes, but then again i did write them properly the first two times i tired to write it, before my computer crashed. As i said before i'm new here, and i only ever played Exile so i wouldn't know about Nethergate, but by your rating it dosen't seem like it's a very good game.

Well at least you're a good poll-maker, you included the "other" option. But aside from that, you really should tell us what kind of competition you had in mind...

The competition idea is a good one.

Holding it AT Spidweb? You're mad. The Lyceum is fine enough.

Well i suppose it would be something like a scenario design competition or similar, but it looks like it's not likely to happen soon anyway. Jeff kindly replied to my e mail:

"We never really ran contests like that, I'm afraid, except as a scenario design contest. We won't have one of those for quite a while. SOrry!

Oh well. :| At least there's a possible 'maybe' involved, although i've gotten enough of that from my parents.

Why does it always have to be a scenario designing contest? I know there's not much you can do, but the whole scenario design contest thing is done too much. Maybe when Blades of Geneforge gets made(even though it probably won't happen) then maybe the scenario design won't be the same old boring thing. Most of the BoE scenarios suck(this wouldn't be as true if I'd finished the 1s I was workin on before my HD got fried). BoE isn't as easy to use as it should/could be. Thus the more complicated things in it are only availible to the smarter ones among us. And as we all know being creative and being smart are not one and the same.

I'm not going to flame, LF, I'm just going to impart to you a bit of advice: it simply doesn't pay to insult the hard work of so many dedicated designers. Evidently, from the awards and honors many of the scenarios have garnered, quite a few people would disagree with your valuation of their quality.

Lone Flame is right. Most scenarios suck. But I think Lone Flame should quit talking smack. Either make a good scenario or shut up.

I would contest that every designer I named has made at least one passably good scenario. Feel free to disagree with me, but please back it up.

Oh, hey! Let's be the flaming bagot with no idea what he's talking about, and lambasts large piles of work with ill-prepared insults and a complete inability to list reasons for dragging down a whole medium with the explicit objective of filling an ego wound created by your genitalia girthage and lack thereof!

In the future, try to avoid pushing this button:
