Re: Contest Suggestions
Lol.
I Was going to Have A Youtube Contest where you must post a video of the longest glide, but i thought that since this forum opened, a prize could be gems, and this is a good place for spyro Players, i think that Having the Contest at Spyroforum may be a good idea. though yopu do NEED a youtube account to upload the video.

Re: Contest Suggestions
How about an art contest where someone not in the competition draws the first part of a comic (involving the proper characters) and people have to draw out the ending? With the best ending winning? Or it could be in text form, of course.
Mass mental scarring, AWWAAAYY!!

Re: Contest Suggestions
I'd do a contest for a piece of art or literature that best portrays Cynder's stress and pain in the aftermath of being controlled by the Dark Master.

Re: Contest Suggestions
I like Ratchet's idea. Is some sort of contest of Spyro skills what you guys had in mind for this particular section of the forum?
Speedruns are pretty popular, as are going through levels without getting hit. You could also do minigames where everyone tries to get the best score, and you wouldn't even need to go one youtube, you could just post a screenshot of the last part.
There are so many possibilities.
And by the way, for any of you turning into a penguin, stop it.

Re: Contest Suggestions
How's about we create a contest where you make character for the spyro series and that character should fit into the plot as clearly as possible.

Re: Contest Suggestions
yeah, but you have to prove it.
How about we make a speedrun contest. I would be happy to host it, but we need a moderator to open the topic and to reward the gems.

Re: Contest Suggestions
No... I think we should have a toilet paper unrolling contest. Everyone must have a new roll of toilet paper and must unroll it at the fastest time possible.
(Just 100 plies of toilet paper with a camera to upload to youtube.)

Re: Contest Suggestions
No, a speedrun contest wouldn't be good. Not everyone has access to a camcorder or similar filming device. But everyone on the forum has access to a drawing/writing program. That's why they're the most cited source of competition.

Re: Contest Suggestions
Maybe not a speedrun though. It could be just a picture of your best time in a speedway, and we could compare times.

Re: Contest Suggestions
The speed run contest would be a good idea and all, except you could cheat it if you use GameShark but you use it so little it looks real. I guess that it is okay to assume that people are honest though.

I realise that, but i'm getting really sick of those kinds of contests. I agree with Depaul about the speedways. As for gamesharks, its pretty easy to tell if someone uses one (except if we do just a screenshot).
Emulators are generally pretty easy to record off if you have the right software, but i dont think people will approve of that.
I'm just really sick of Fanart & fanfiction contests.

Re: Contest Suggestions
How about some sort of movie style contest?
Eg. Merging Spyro clips to form some sort of humourous mini-chat between the characters? Taking them from all the games and combining them, etc.? I'm very bad at explaining. But anyone get my drift?
