For variety's sake, I was browsing the HLP main page and I came across "Model Contest". Intrigued, I didst click upon the link, and verily, I was amazed by what I saw.

What is more, I have been here for over a year, and cannot remember this contest, when was it held. Half of the entrants I've never heard of, so it must have been a long time ago.

I propose that another contest be held, in order to re-vitalise the community, and perhaps get some work done towards those campaigns.

What say you, admins?

It was running when I got here, so check my joined date thingy.

And there are to be no modelling contests until my precious is finished.

Actually, cancel that, the GTC Great Big Cube beats it now in the pathetic category

Teh Cube has uber ramming potential

Hmmm, might be able to

Anyway, I'd like to see a new modfel contest. But only if modders are willing to participate.

I win!

Glad to see my ship is so well appreciated

Well if the contest is agreed to, I might just have to submit an undated version of my cocktail party

[beatspete]

I take it they can only be freespace ships then?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

I think they could be anything. Take a look at the old contest, there are some non-FS ships there.

No offense to your being capable of modeling stuff other than ships, but in my opinion, the contest really should be restricted to ships, even if not FS-ships, they really should be ships. This is a ships community.

Well that cocktail party is a ship, in a way.

It has engines, weapons, and behaves like any other space pirates' craft.

[color=66ff00]Considering it's nature I'll bet good odds on it having great difficulty flying in straight lines or singing the alphabet, a lot of mead gets drank at such venues.

Mmmm, mead.

Well, I've been considering one for a while.  If there's interest I'll put together some rules.  A couple would include:

-Must be an original work, ie no making a Star Trek ship or anything, unless it's an original ship never seen before.
-Must include WIP shots to show that it's new for the contest.
-As before, there'll be a basic and advanced category.

Styxx - 2:1
Shrike - 3:1
wEvil - 3:1
Joey_21 - 200:1

Place yer bets.

Hmmm.

Hows about setting up a post-count gambling system?
