AGN Expo brainstorming

Sorry, bad example there. Art Gallery is misleading in two ways.
First of all, by art I didn't mean screenshots only or anything. I was just comparing how, say a painter works with oils and canvas the same way a designer works in ZC. "Art" would be actual interactive product.
Not past works either. I meant like, stuff created for the expo. Like "Heres a chance to show us what you can do. Enter stuff"

EDIT: Pineconn and I are talking on AIM, and for your idea Joe we're discussing a catagory for "upcoming works", pretty much exactly what your talking about.

EDIT2: After further discussion, we've realized that we should avoid over-catagorization. If we get enough sumbmisions to merit a bunch of sub catagories, well then....

You guy's thoughts?

Maybe we're still not on the same page...

The Expo's entries should be things that are being worked on now. None of the entries should be "look at what I can do" things. For example, I would show my EoT remake, and you would show off your quest that you've been tinkering with and scrapping. Nobody should create quests, scripts, graphics, or music just for the sake of AGNX.

Well, I feel like we're getting somewhere. This is great for a day's work.

Interesting. Well, I'm going to wait for someone else to chime in before saying anything else.

If you want the attention from players put it in the normal quest discussion forum
Thats the place players go to , I never even noticed that the winter contest was going on here , and don't place it like a sub forum just make sticky threads ;)

I think I've thought up of a good idea. When you first click on the AGN Expo forum, it'll show the sub-forums. Below it will be the official rules thread and (idea alert) a screenshot contest thread. Basically, it's just a thread where anyone can post nice screenshots that they've made. It's essentially like PureZC's SotW/M or AGN's screenshot thread in the Quest Discussion forum, but more of a formal contest. Yes? No?

AGN SCotW? Cool. Not as part of the official seasonal expo, but just a running thing like at PZC sounds good. If some people can submit a few screenshots, we could have one up for next week.

Well, as cool as these ideas sound, we'd need someone to do it. None of us have any forum power, maybe a ZC mod or DD will do it. All I can do is post a message on ZC's homepage.

Why'd we need forum power to have a SotW?

Just make a poll in Quest or ZC Discussion.

I'd definately enter/help organise if we could get this going.

Well, it'd be nice if the SotW/M or whatever we'd do would be stickied.

But we're getting far too ahead of ourselves! I merely suggested that this screenshot competition would be part of the AGNX and nothing more. If we need activity down the road some time, we could very well add a SotW/M if necessary. Though I would very much like an official AGN SotW/M.

So what should the dates be? The entire month of February? Longer, shorter?

True, walk before you run and all that.

Well I don't see why you'd close it after a month, I mean, they just leave it open at Pure and it seems to work ok.

It's not in a position where it could cause clutter there though I spose, which it could be here.

EDIT: I think I'm comparing to Pure too much...
