Contest Time 150k prize (in Contests)


Mistress Reyna August 8 2005 3:07 AM EDT

Alright.. peoples.. i have a spare Mill cb2 just sitting around, and i want to make a contest... heres the thing.. i cant think of one off the top of my head so, this thread will be worth 150k to the one who comes up with a contest worthy of a prize of 1 mill cb. 1 entry per person please!
now mind you.. you can have it be a 1st 2nd 3rd contest, or winner takes all, lemme see your ideas.

Lu Bu[willsue] August 8 2005 3:21 AM EDT

I SPY! This is probably one of the only originial ideas that i have. It could be of any place on the map. You could leave random clues on the post and have a max of 1 guess after every clue. The person that guesses the location wins.

never mind and forget my idea. i suck at making contest things lol.

Staind2b August 8 2005 3:26 AM EDT

I haven't seen this idea before.

To have a contest about another contest. A person from this contest shall guess the winner of another contest that is going on at the same time. If they guess right, they win the 1 mil. If no-one guesses the right answering, then no-one wins. Also, whoever participates in this contest cannot participate in the contest that they are trying to guess who'll win.

I am not sure if there are any other contests on at the moment, but this is what I came up with. Hopefully you like it.

Guess...ur fav game..then guess how much u payed for it and then guess the last time u played it...
my mind is a little empty right now...so this is how all i could think of

Sabre Army August 8 2005 3:29 AM EDT

i think the guess a number game works but make it to where its like 1-100 or something like that.

Let people do at least some effort, and not open a new window and get the answer from Google.

- Postcards (Stump's idea on CB1), which came the furthest/most stamps/best CB Haiku or Sonnet on there or something similar.

I use to debate competitively, and after seeing people argue here on CB I gather that many people don't realize that if you really just want to support something, even if it is absolutely stupid, one can always develop a reason or line of argument.

Therefore, I had the idea for a contest that would force people to argue for something really dumb such as, "Explain why Steel Familiars are overpowered", or, "Tell me how cheese is the root of all evil.". You can either have one large contest with a winner and runner- ups or if you have many propositions you want people to support then you can hold a string of mini-contests with a new topic every day or two.

If you want me to help you judge the contest then I wouldn't compete and would instead help you of course. I can offer my opinion on who has the most sound argument. If you want to go for the funniest response however, I may or may not be the best judge for that.

I remember an old contest of sorts at school once. Post a picture of a jar full of something. It could be full of pennies, candy, whatever you want. Then let people post how many they think is in it. You could charge for each guess if you wanted, then add that to the pot. Winner would get the contest winnings and/or the pot, and you could even mail him the jar of candy if he or she wanted to pay the postage.

Another idea you could do, if you felt motivated, would be to make a puzzle. One of those with hidden words hidden up, down, across, you know what I mean. You could even have the words form a sentence (probably CB related) that people would have to put together to win.

Well those are my ideas. Thanks for reading them.

2 words scavenger hunt. have them either upload or mail a list of pictures that follow like a "top 10 things i want to see" allows creativity.. just a thought... that and there's some work involved... i think a lil effort is worth a mil.

Fantasysage August 8 2005 6:26 PM EDT

How about this. WHoever can create the best story out of botcheck images only, wins the prize, that takes alotta work.

AdminQBnovice [Cult of the Valaraukar] August 8 2005 6:29 PM EDT

Only decent contests ever run where the what am I contests.
They last, they are fun and hard as heck if done right.

simple standard yes or no questions, and let the destruction begin.

Starkadhr Gudbrande August 8 2005 8:47 PM EDT

how about a caption contest. You pick a picture from someone's character and write the best caption for it. It could be anyone's character or you could pick one character that everyone can try to make a caption for. It would have to be pg only. There could be a 1st (best caption) 2nd and 3rd. Firstplace gets 500k 2nd gets 350K and 3rd gets 150K . Each person could only give one caption.

Mistress Reyna August 9 2005 12:31 AM EDT

alright people so far there are a few that i am considering, i will give this contest 1 more day to pan out, then i will award the winner and announce the 1 mill prize contest... im rather sad that so many of these entrys are from the new peoples, and not many vet's are taking part. Come on people tell me your idea

Biscuitback August 9 2005 1:02 AM EDT

well football is coming up :)

maybe you can do a final score total on one of the preseason games.

HellShark [Formper] August 9 2005 7:55 AM EDT

A guessing Game!! have say a word, an animal, a person, a road sign or somethin and give clues every now and then with letters going out sometimes to

chelon August 9 2005 8:42 AM EDT

{CB1}Bio August 9 2005 5:10 PM EDT

Victimizer August 9 2005 7:50 PM EDT

my idea is a CB SCAVENGER HUNT!

throughout the cb forums you list hints of items throughout cb that people have to find. The prizes would be 1st 600k 2nd 250k 3rd 150k

trigun August 9 2005 9:23 PM EDT

since its a mil prize..how bout something that requires a bit of effort..a new cb2 theme perhaps? winner as voted by public or by u..hehe ^_^

1st 500k
2nd 300k
3rd 200k

Renn Slayer of Kilik August 9 2005 9:47 PM EDT

Give out a series of seemingly unrelated things(could be anything you want) and ask people to find what is the connection between the things. Like giving out names of famous people and have it that they all had the same agent at one time. Or countries that all have a similar governments.

LokiLucifer August 10 2005 1:01 AM EDT

do a contest on music name artists old bands stuff like that


Kilobot571 August 10 2005 11:36 AM EDT

I have one. U make up a story and hide clues in it that help you answer the question.

mikeannike August 12 2005 12:06 AM EDT

You should have a contest on who can give the best indepth (fully detailed) deffinition of carnage blender.

Kilobot571 August 12 2005 11:20 AM EDT
