I guess this claim to fame is as good as any, eh? I'll take it.Originally Posted by Kraco
As far as another contest goes, I'm all in favor of having some sort of MS Paint competition. I think that limiting resources usually brings out the creativity in people. Either that, or we'll just get a lot of crap. I have a vision of a messy submission consisting of non sequitur panels depicting crude stick figures, trying to pass itself off as "comedy".
We could avoid that by having specifically themed submission guidelines instead of open-ended ones, such as (and I know I'm totally ripping off of a staple SA concept here..) "anime characters deal with everyday life", or something similar. That's my suggestion.
I also completely disagree with a trivia contest, for an obvious reason. We're all using the internet here. All anyone would need to do is keep a wiki or a good anime page open as a sure-fire backup to any question. The only skill it would test would be information retrieval, something that could only properly be measured in a short time limit on IRC, which a large number of users (including myself) don't really use.
