72hr Winter Classic 2015 - Pre discussion thread!

[LeSwordfish]

Yes.

Theme is fine, as long as we have a decent one, and sourcing it from ideas is a good way to get that.

Late December or early Jan is fine for me.

I think the rules are solid as they are apart from that.

No leading into major contest, please.

This, basically. Can't we just vote on a theme?

I like the idea of everyone throwing in theme ideas and we can just vote on the best ones.

I'd like to throw out there that schools/unis will have exams early-to-mid january. If it was Pre-Christmas, that'd be fine, or later on in Jan.

How many people does this affect? Just a 'me' will suffice

 

[BigBros]

I think that if the 72 hour was started on the first hour of the new year, and then could be styled around celebrations, that would be cool...

Theme Suggestion: Secret Santa. Each person would do their best to describe a map (gamemode, visual theme, number of cp's, maybe more but i dont want it to get too crazy) and then they would get matched with someone else and they would have to make the map the person described and I guess the 1st person would do the other persons idea as well. Would have to be done in advance, obviously.

depends too highly on organization

 

[Prestige]

it depends the perfect amount on organization

 

[wareya]

perfect organizations are hotplug-aware, which secret santa isn't

Can we have more 72h events in a year (4?) and fewer restrictions/prizes? Just something more like a coding sprint, but you don't need to wait 6 months for the next one.

 

[Dain]

- Yes
- I'm okay with a theme so long as it is aesthetic (snowy, alpine, deserty, space) and not a gameplay gimmick.
- Mid/Late December. January is bad because I have exams then :s
- Don't care
- Don't care

If I don't get a job in the industry that has a non-compete agreement and/or allows me host contests, I will explore the possibility of more than 2 per year.

more than 2 per year.

Are you trying to kill me?!

I give the health warning now, because of you.

I'm surprised people take 72 hour contests so seriously sometimes to be honest, I mean sure if it was a major contest but still.

 

[Crash]

I just take is as a challenge to myself. It's a really good way to get a lot of work done, and it's always fun mapping with an audience while I stream.

I don't do it to win a prize, I do it for fun and to see what I can do in such a short time.

I'm used to exams being before Christmas break, so I don't think mid-December would work very well. Late January might be the best bet.

Since when is not sleeping for 48 hours fun?
