Sounds strangely like the format to a 'Competition Ideas/Create a Competition' Competition :P I do have a semi-serious question though, what do you mean by Week 4? What would people be spamming about if the Competition had already been decided upon?

I'm not sure what the point of weeks 3 and 4 are to be honest. If I were to do it I would vote closer to the end of the month and have more time for submissions at the beginning. 1 week for submissions is really quite a small time frame, particularly when you consider how busy some people are.

What Andere said, plus the fact that I'm the one who sets these up. I'm sure I don't have to direct you to my ever long to-do list around here, not to mention my obligations behind the computer screen. I've been asking for help setting up the CotM for months now. If you're interested, you can still PM me to help!

However, I can organize some public Google docs to collect ideas and a schedule in one place (as well as making a section for it on my wiki talk page for easy review), since things can get lost easily in a thread. October will definitely feature a screenshot caption contest; I'm going through screenshots by our members now and asking for permission. If you have a good one you'd like to submit for consideration, feel free to PM it to me! :D

@ AKB - Technically it was Avron's idea. I suggested you put up an idea, I did not demand you do anything. The whole point of this thread is to discuss things to do for the wider community, yet you seem to be the only one coming on to pick faults without offering anything in return. You don't like me fine, I don't like you either. Stop trying to pick a fight with me, I have added you to my ignore list I suggest you do the same for me.

Why can't we all be friends? But on topic, I would like to do smilies.

As good an idea as that is, AKB, as you'll see on the last page of that thread Avron has put the brakes on it since she doesn't have the necessary permissions to add smilies. :(

I know that and directly responded to that concern. Dave's been considerably more active recently, so it should be entirely possible to arrange this with him.

October, because we'd better be doing something pretty epic for the Skyrim anniversary.

Actually, that bring up a wholly different idea...I think we should do something specifically on 11/11.

Good idea Gideon. 11/11 is a Sunday so how about an 11 hour Skyrim marathon with online commentary via the forum and Skype with a list of specific challenges.

Whoa. Skype Multiplayer.

Everybody starts the game at the same time (post character creation) a route is agreed upon ahead of time and we all do a playthrough of a certain guild/main quest. We could even have different groups doing different guilds/quests. We could come up with lists of things each group would do and have those shared experiences!

Speaking from experience, that would very quickly become a huge dicking around competition. It'd still be fun, though!

Why wouldn't you be able to use Skype? I use Skype for multiplayer chatting all the time.

Doesn't that only work for PC gamers, though?

Well, Gideon said "us playing on Steam wouldn't be able to use it".

Skype doesn't play well with full-screen applications for me. Definitely not those that really require sound to play.
