Anyone else like this?

sciocont wrote:I believe i have a better idea for this contest- Half the teams are started on one planet, half on the other.
Each team has 5 members or less. The tams will have to provide a logo to represent their team in the first week. The planets will have separate continents. Each continent has a set of conditions that they must design for.

Each round of the contest lasts about a week, and the teams all have to design a creature for one selected continent. Each team member must enter a creation for least one continent. Whoever wins 1st and second for best creature on a continent each continent is safe and will advance to tribal stage. That will be the continent their tribe, an edited version of their creature, will start out on.

The second part of the contest involves building a tribe. There will be five tribal archetypes, all teams must create a tribal creature for all five. The Archetypes are-
Chief
Witch Doctor
Warrior
Hunter
Gatherer
The two tribes on each continent will "battle it out," with a poll for each one of their creations. Best 3/5 wins the continent and moves on to Civ stage.

In civ stage, each team must create a ruler creature, a citizen creature, and a water, land, and air vehicle. (again, each creator must make at least one)

Then a separate poll for each type of creation is up, and the team with the most wins in the polls there wins and goes to Space stage.

In space stage, Te winning teams from each planet go head to head. They must create an adventure now. Props have to be contributed by and ONLY by the team itself.
Whichever team has the best adventure wins.

The coolest way to run this would be to have a map of each planet up, and the current creature contest' continent highlighted, with stats below on how each team did in past continents. Then in tribal stage, set up who is battling who on each continent, and have logos for each of the teams on the continent. In civ stage, there is a flag of the logo of the team occupying the continent. In space stage, the logo of the team that won each planet is displayed above their planet.

How does that sound? I know it's a little last minute, but i think it would be really fun.

As for the logo, that would be do-able as long as your left it as a creation (ship or building editor, make like an insignia or something). And the ideas of having a winner for each planet sounds pretty cool, but I think it would be best for each team to stay operational for as long as possible, until the space stage. Then, we could make it like a reality show where the least favorite team gets voted off every three days, leaving the remainder to compete.

I'm thinking like this:
2 Teams share a planet. Contest maker decided which teams pair up on a planet, and also the planet's climate (snowy, jungle, temperate, desert, islands, etc). Each team plays through all the way to the civ stage, where they will be required to design a creature, buildings and vehicles suitable to the climate. Then, after a poll, the winning team gets to claim the planet and move on to space stage, where they will play the other teams.

EA few days after the teams are promoted to space, another vote is held to see who gets "Apocalypsed", like getting voted off, except instead of getting booted off the island, your planet implodes. This would continue until the last two are present, then you can come up with some sort of grand finale.

The reason to keep all the teams through the civ stage? That way, each team can have a full-blown Sporecast with everything a civilization would need, plus a master Sporecast with all creations. Otherwise, those ideas are really good.

Fair enough, here's a newer one of mine, made thanks to the use of MaudDibb's wicked cool invisilimb template.

Please, please, please look at it in the editor. It has been staged a little, but there are some details I just couldn't make visible and keep the creation logical...

OK, I've outfitted my reaper. I planned to give it some cloaky-hoody stuff, but it ended up like this:


Any advice?

A link to the Sporecard would be nice bro. I don't think those pic are really doing it justice... It doesn't look to bad but from what i can see of it.
