Get-Together 8 is coming! Suggest your events!

[Binary]

Anyway, I would love to have a speedhacking contest, seems fun :P

It's a nice idea, but given the time available, it would be pretty difficult to accomplish much of a "hack". Instead, it would be better if participants could create something like a short of story (something like the cactus thingy on R/B; Can't really remember). Just my opinion. :P

Another idea I had would be like a full on signature contest. Similar to the Prettiest Profile Contest, but for signatures. Pretty much, it wouldn't be graphics based, but try to have the best signature, using graphics, icons, sprites, CSS and all that jazz, and the best one will win. I think it's a cool idea. :]

I think we had something like that in the Halloween Get Together(?). It was pretty much a theme contest (avatar, signature, etc.) But of course, you had to create a theme based on Halloween.

I like the idea.

So my (/Nica's xD) idea is a Pokemon song parody contest. Basically the idea is to make the most creative Pokemon- or PC-related song parodies, most likely just by changing the lyrics since PC members generally aren't big on uploading music. But if there's a lot of interest in actually uploading music, there could even be two categories, one that's lyrics only and one that's lyrics + music.

Hosting the Sprite Edit contest at the New Year's one was fun. I wouldn't mind doing that again~

A ROM hack scripting contest would be awesome. I remember there was one last year and...well...the wrong guy won imo. :\
I would also love a map contest. Idk if I want to host it though because I want to participate now I've improved since last year. :)

EDIT: I wanna host a QWOP event :D

The short time is part of the fun :P
I guess the contestants could do whatever they want in it, whether they do a short story or a full fledged hack is up to them.

I like the idea.

Same here

 

[Mew~]

I remember Hosting the AMV event a while back before, so I guess we could do that again.

I like the idea of a Pokémon song parody contest too though. :D

 

[Palkia]

I also think that a parody song contest would be a great idea.

As well, I think that a take a choice story event would be a good idea, but it would require someone who types a lot.

The get-together Forum Scavenger hunt.

Just throwing ideas at the wall here to see what sticks, no Idea what it will do, Best case scenario, some good times, worst case it crashes and burns, in which case we'll put the fires out.

[Gulpin]

Here to suggest the Design-a-Pokemon event again, like I have the past couple of Get-Together's. I'll be able to host this time around if you would like me to.

 

[AshPikastar]

We should have another AMV contest for the Get together event. Also what could be interesting to have a blog contest. For member who have blogs it's a bit like the PPC but instead you decorate your blog instead.

 

[Charizard★]

Oh and another photo event would be nice, we had one the last two years and they worked well, so why not do it again this year?

 

[Spinor]

I move for a "Best Summer Ever" themed Fan-fic contest.

Also some random Idea that sounds dumb, but oh well:

Spoiler:

Sexiest Member Competition

Simply you submit a picture of yourself and members will vote on who's the sexiest. Security measures will include TWO security pictures submitted to the host(s) with a clear handwritten note with a date, time, and consent to entry. The entry picture itself doesn't have to be of the same as the security pictures.

I don't like this idea at all. It's basically a way of saying "You're hot, and you're ugly."
I have low enough self-esteem about my looks as it is, and I'm sure a lot of other people do too. :\

 

[Spherical Ice]

Pixel art competition would be fun for me and few other I guess, though I don't see it being a headline event unfortunately. The last one was fun though. :D

Which is why voting can be private and only the top three would be named or something >__> But as I said beforehand I wasn't confident about it either.

 

[Xyrin]

If we would do the sexiest member there would have to be categories like male and female.

That's not a good idea. Even if the voting is done in secret, the people who entered but didn't win will kinda feel like crap. \: Bad idea IMO.

I hope to see a PO related event! :3 (Pokemon Online)

Do you find it weird that I had a dream 2 nights ago that the thread for the Get2gether was gonna be posted :/

ISKETCH ISKETCH ISKETCH! XD
iSketch is such a must have especially since I played so much isketch months following. I hosted the last one (erm was it the 2011 one) and I'd love to host it again - also cause of the timezones and such, I want to make sure that us guys in the AUS/NZ timezone have a time to play because sometimes the isketch games are held when we're sleeping.

Other Events I'd like to see come back:
Photography Event
Art (Like the one from the AutumnContests) Event
Quiz.... Umm that event which I held 2 years ago, can't remember what it's called exactly EDIT: Oh it was called four nights of Trivia XD
Skype Call
Movie Night
Stopmotion Music Video Contest - would so enter this

A lot of things I miss out on, on previous events because of timezones. It'd be cool to have hosts from different timezones especially with events that have specific timezones.

Random Idea I've just had, There's this game called Arcanists which is apparently a lot like the game "Worms" (except here they're wizards not worms) and challengers face off in battle each other to see who's the last person standing. I'd love to see this as an event, love to see who the last person standing would be XD

In honor of the guy who used to make Mad Libs, how about we have a pokemon-themed Mad Libs contest, submit entries, and take a vote to who has the funniest one?

 

[Meganium]

There needs to be a Drawing contest and a Graphics contest. I actually enjoyed them both, to be honest. Oh, and the Skype event too. It was so much fun.
