Trophies for the winners? and/or prizes

[atari_wizard]

Just an idea, but would it be possible to have a tropy under our name? After each contest one we would have Trophy x1 or after 20 wins we would have Trophy x20. Would somebody have to design a trophy? or does the forum company have icons to choose from?

I don't think the board could support it right now.
MAYBE Eddie could "hack" something in to make it work.

But right now he has alot of more important things on his plate.

I think it would be cool if we could get some sort of prize thing going too.

Nothing to extravagent.
But it would be cool if people would be willing to part with common or cheap items for prizes.
Not sure how that would work out just yet.
I will ponder on it....

Could give a gold star.

[Izret101]

But what about me you and the rest of the staff?
And what happens when a person wins more than 5?
I think the gold stars only go up to 5.

I had planned on keeping a record of winners and their scores/times and such in my first post in the game suggestion thread.
Just for bragging rights

Well we can give stars until we can get a trophy made. 5 stars would be 5 months so i think it could get done in time. We have green and gold stars not being used.

Staff = 3 Blus Stars
MODS = 4 Blue Stars
Admins = 5 Silver Star

I have some commons I'd be willing to thrown in. I even have some Atari & NES manuals that need a home.

Sounds good.

Rick you could have just made a post instead of editing Scotts

In anycase I have some ideas but i don't want to give them away and ruin the surprize

In the future, if and when this realy gets going, we might be able to set up some sort of fund for larger prizes.
With so much gaming going on online now we could do online competitions too.
People can feel free to set up and run their own say in Halo or GRAW or something.

What you also can do is ask regulars for a donation,like every month when someone wins a contest a donor sends the prize (game/acc. for example) to the winner.
You can make a thread and post the donors in it so everyone will know which months they have to send.
If you find like 12 people who are willing you have 1 year of contest prizes covered.

Hmm thats not to bad.

you can organise it with another mod or admin and then you have total control over it also,no cheating and so.

[Izret101]

That is a good idea.
It would be cooler to have a pot of items maybe though.

So the winner has a choice of items.

Thanks for the suggestions NES-a-holic

Your welcome man,was thinking bout what ya wrote.When you have a pot you can't pin a month on a donator since the winner first has to choose something,that could be a hastle i mean wait for pick and then notify donator and so on,but that's up to you.
You'd have to let the donators send the prizes to you and then you'd have to ship them to the winners,that could be an option but exspensive on both sides.

I say bragging rights are good enough.  If you start add stuff that cost money people will cheat, thats the why it always goes.  Maybe the site could give you a special title by your name but not more then that.

Sounds good. Are the prizes still commons? I'm game for a special title/symbol by the users name as well.

Well the prizes don't have to be mega common games but just games you think would be cool to give or get as a present.
A trophy sounds fun also,IMO getting something stimulates people to participate and makes the community come closer.
