I have an idea.
Revolutionary, I know.
But my idea might be a good idea. It requires your input. See, I was thinking about making a Brickset Forum game, called Nice Parts Usage!, which would be a weekly episodal type game. I think up a fancy part and give my example and you have to think of an inventive way to use it in a MOC or show how you have used it in a MOC before. I would do this without any input, but I was thinking of starting a new discussion every week. I don't want to clog up the forum with my games if no one will play. I need at least ten people (or Huw Millington) to express interest or disinterest to start. I will provide an example of how it will work so that you can decide. I will use cheese slopes for this.
An interesting use of cheese slopes is in a mosaic. Now you would list or post pictures of other neat things you have done with cheese slopes or whatever this weeks theme might be.
Simple and fun. This would be a good way of getting away from the more... Dark parts of the forum, such as my last discussion (entertaining but disastrous) or the Mixel Window-Licker Mix-Up. If you don't read these disheartening threads, well, kudos to you. This is similar to but not the same as the MOCer's Guild. It involves MOCs, but it is a challenge. Alas, I cannot provide prizes at this point, but if it is popular enough to stick around a few years I may have enough money to justify prizes then. You could donate a prize to each week's contest to be given to the winner.
Each week would start a new discussion and the previous week's challenge would be closed at the posting of a new challenge.
I was thinking of starting the challenges every Sunday, but that can be changed.
Thanks.
