Inquiry - Bringing Back Custom Unit Contests
I have a very simple question, how many people would be interested in regularly participating in a revised custom unit contest?
Same concept as the old ones but the format is outdated and would need some touch ups. I have opened the poll for 7 days. It has been a number of years since I have had anything to do with the Speed Custom Contests. Mainly because I stopped playing Heroscape and moved to a different city. But I am now in a place where I could run these contests for awhile. I am interested in your interest and need to accurately gauge the involvement the community would have. |

Re: Inquiry - Bringing Back Custom Unit Contests
Put me down for either often or sometimes, depending on the amount of time I have/how regular these would be. Though it is worth noting that there is someone else,
@Dr.Goomonkey
, who runs custom contests of his own seasonally these days.

Re: Inquiry - Bringing Back Custom Unit Contests
Hey, look at this! The more custom contests the better, I'd say.

Re: Inquiry - Bringing Back Custom Unit Contests
I think it would be great to have more contests. I'm not sure what would be the right cadence for me. Most likely the longer the submission period is the easier it would be for me to definitely get one in each time.

Re: Inquiry - Bringing Back Custom Unit Contests
And if we get enough support we can always collaborate. Dr.Goomonkey, Would you mind sending me a PM on what your read of the current customs scene is like? I would love to hear more about what your contests include too.

Re: Inquiry - Bringing Back Custom Unit Contests
No offense, but although these are fun for those who participate, they do not IMHO have any long-term benefit. Better yet would be get people to playtest and critique the many customs that have already been made, especially C3V and SoV customs. In these speen contests there is never time to playtests, so it is all based on either theoryscaping, or just cool sounding powers, and not actual playability. Again, it may be fun and diverting at the time, and select few people may actually play the customs at a one or two home games, but they will never be as widely accepted as more time-consuming (both in creation and critiquing) of any other custom on this site.
But if fun is all that matters - then go for it. C3V/SoV cards @ 3/page PDF / LeftOn4ya's Customs (including Jurassic World) / Competitive Unit Alters / New? Start Here! Unit Debates REVIVED - #76 Tandros Kreel vs Torin "Today is a good day to die... but the day is not yet over"

And I know, I, personally, have really enjoyed these, and have added all the designs I've done for them (and a couple of others) to my collection. It's an interesting exercise of my creative and designing abilities to be given a figure and told to do something with it, and these are really fun to participate in and have left me with a number of figures I'd never have created otherwise, as well as plans that have spiraled from them, so... yeah, I think that these have their place. It's basically just a fun contest for personal custom creation, and personal custom creation is one of the things that, along with the larger groups, makes this site so exciting. It always saddens me when I see people acting like the official groups are the be-all and end-all of custom creation - I mean, they are amazing, but they're basically just the new face of 'official' Scape, and I see no reason for personal customs to be ignored in their favour. ~Lazy Orang, concluding her rant. |

With that said, maybe there is a place for joining the two trains of thoughts. Something to consider as we collect data. |

Re: Inquiry - Bringing Back Custom Unit Contests
It's a way to hone skills and to encourage designers to create a new design--it can get the juices flowing.
And in some cases it could even lead to an SoV nomination. I've been sitting on a design for a while I hope to eventually playtest enough to submit to SoV--and it originated in a custom contest.

Re: Inquiry - Bringing Back Custom Unit Contests
Since we're on the subject of custom contests, does anyone know if it's possible to have different kinds of polls on the site? With a small number of voters, I feel like picking the "top 3" choices instead of just one might lead to a more accurate result. But I don't know if we have the capacity to do that.
