New Contest

[MaxRoktanskyCrmb]

I asked Jackster in game about a new contest and he told me I should post a suggestion on the forums. I know there has been some mixed feelings from a lot of people about the rumor of a redstone contest. Some people like the idea, some people hate it. I had a thought that we could do a contest with a theme of "Movies". Whether in pixel art or 3d. I thought the set up like that Slap-Gaming Hall of Games could be used. Instead of computer monitors, it would be movie screens. Although it worked good for the Hall of Games , I think the plots should be a little bigger, still 50 tall and 50 deep, but probably 60-65 blocks wide, just so it looks like a movie screen. The players could say they want to be in the contest and then an admin will assign a plot. I don't think its necessary to know what everyone's doing. I think we should keep it secret. Yes , even if we have 5 people doing Jurrasic Park, I think the surprise of seeing the builds will be interesting, without first knowing what each build is based off of. The other reason for this is because someone might want to do a movie themed build about several movies (like a movie franchise), or they might want to just create their local movie theater or the local drive-in movies theater. I think the movie theme needs to be obvious in the build but doesn't need to be any specific film. We haven't had a contest in awhile and there is a lot of grumbling and mixed feelings about the redstone idea.
