Plattym3 1,928 Posted September 6, 2015 The number of open contests (heck, the number of topics in this area) just shrunk DRAMATICALLY! So, time for some new contests. We've had some new blood around here in the past couple years (duh, we always do). Anyone have any good ideas for a new contest? One idea, a DQ Yo Momma contest: Yep, I'm scratching the bottom of the bucket here. FYI: There will be one more #QuestToTheWest contest still. I'm working on it... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 2,589 Posted September 6, 2015 Shouldn't there be 2 more, one for Melvin and one for Aira? Or have submissions for Melvin's been completed? Anyway, for ideas: -Favorite Slime -Best/Favorite Overworld Theme -Random battle theme -Final boss theme -Hero/Protagonist contest -Design a monster contest -Create a job class contest -Most groan worthy pun contest -Favorite flying vehicle/transport -Favorite main game -Favorite spin off game/spin off series -Challenge run contests like the light speed champion contests (the rules could be determined later) -Design a slime -Most notable town -Quote contest #4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plattym3 1,928 Posted September 6, 2015 Shouldn't there be 2 more, one for Melvin and one for Aira? Or have submissions for Melvin's been completed? Anyway, for ideas: Due to an almost complete lack of interest, they're getting rolled into one. We had 3 submissions (me and Woodus being 2 of them) and like 5 votes on the previous 2. In the grand scheme of the things, those contests are pointless & unpopular. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 2,589 Posted September 6, 2015 Ah, I see. Shame they weren't more popular. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cesar Hernandez-Meraz 489 Posted September 6, 2015 I can't help much... The ones I like, and have been popular in the past, have not had the same success recently. I love the "Dragon Quest inveades" line. Movies, TV, ads, household items, other game series. Those are the ones I would have liked, but perhaps now is not the best moment for them.

Erdrick The Hero 838 Posted September 6, 2015 Since we're already doing DQ Yo' Mamma jokes, let's take it a step further and do Dragon Quest Dick Jokes! Just kidding. I liked the Mightier Spritier contest a while back. We should have another one of those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AustNerevar 472 Posted September 6, 2015 I like the pun idea. I'm always ready to take a shot at a crappy pun. Which I guess is more obvious now that I've created my signature. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted September 6, 2015 I like Yangus' idea of another quote contest. I'll try to come up with a few ideas of my own... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AustNerevar 472 Posted September 6, 2015 Oh, sorry to ask this as it might be a FAQ or come of as annoying, but since I'm new to this whole contest thing... When will we get our badges? I know some of mine I don't have were contests I did a while ago. I absolutely do not care if it takes a long time or anything, I just thought I should speak up in case I fell through the cracks. If this is normal, then please ignore me, I don't mean to pester. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those I mainly complied on a monthly basis as they were long-running contests. I like Yangus' idea of another quote contest. I'll try to come up with a few ideas of my own... What if we did something combining the pun, the quote, and the Yo Mamma? Maybe just an in general, DQ Meme Contest? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the one for DQ III I did several weeks back, so I was just making sure I didn't get skipped over. Not that big of a deal anyway, but I get Obsessive Compulsive over "pointless" things like badges and achievements. Again, I really didn't want to sound pushy. How would the "Pun Quote" contest work?

AustNerevar 472 Posted September 7, 2015 I've been trying to compile a list of the worst puns (read: most shameless, least clever) in DQ history. Some of the DQ puns are quite good, but there are too many that are just terrible and/or a stretch at best. So since I'm already in that headspace, it might not be too difficult to make some memes or references to DQ pun culture. Or I could turn out to be a total hypocrite and be unable to come up with creative humor of my own. We'll have to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
