AGN Expo brainstorming

[The_Amaster]

Hmm, if it's walk before you run, wouldn't SotW come first as the simpler concept? Maybe get some going now while we plan the expo. I mean, how hard could it be. One person just sorts through the submissions, posts em and voila. A front page message from Pineconn would help get some awareness.

Oh that's true actaully.

If Pineconn were to post a message saying 'Screenshot Competition starts on X-day' or whatever, then submissions are all sent to someone via PM, and then on that day they post up them in a poll in Quest Announcement/Discussion, that should work OK, right?

I'm sure we could get at least 5.

Technically, we'd still need approval from DarkDragon to hold an organized event. He'd need to finalize who would be in charge of it and where it would be located. I think I'll PM him about it.

Back to AGNX! We really need to decide what the content will be. I still hold firmly to the original idea of

AGN Expo
Quests
Scripts
Graphics and Music

All sub-forums except will showcase what everyone is working on right now, very similar to E3 and all that. I'm beginning to have second doubts on Dungeoneering, since the main rule of the Expo is that every entry must be something that you're working on now for Zelda Classic. A quest, a script, music, a tileset, etc.

I have no idea anymore.

[The_Amaster]

Eh, I agree that the Dungeoneering thing doesn't belong in an expo.

However I still like the idea of some kind of exhibition, maybe seperate from the expo. Although that's a whole new can of worms...

Would it have to be DarkDragon?
Shadowtiger is a mod in the ZC section isn't he?
We might be more likely to get a response from him.

The Dungeoneering thing sounds quite interesting (not for me, but interesting nonetheless =P), but why would it be part of the Expo?
Surely it would just be a seperate competition?

[The_Amaster]

I'd really like something like my earlier ideas on like, a ZC-Art fair, but it really depends on how you guys feel. Something with expo-ish elements and previews of upcoming works, but also seperate "galleries" of stuff people have submitted.

[Pineconn]

Well, I just PMed DarkDragon this about having a SotW:

A couple of us have been talking about having an organized Expo that features quests, scripts, etc. that are in-the-making, and we got the idea of holding a Screenshot of the Week contest similar to PureZC's SotW.

Luckily for you, all you'd have to do is set up the appropriate forum and assign probably one or two people to manage it. As much as I'd be willing to do it... I have no power (except for advertising it on ZC's homepage).

All that is required is a sub-forum to ZC Discussion. That's it. Any participants would PM a screenshot to whomever is running it, and at the end of a week, the organizer(s) would set up a poll so that they could be voted on. A very simple concept.

Now, if you go to PureZC's site, you'd see that in the top-right corner, the winning screenshot is shown. How difficult would it be to create a space, say, directly above the list of the newest 10 quests on ZC.com that would show a scaled-down version of the image and when you mouse-over it, the full image appears (identical to how quests' screenshots work in the QDB)? As nice as this would be to have, this idea, however, would be a luxury and could therefore be deemed unnecessary. If it would be too time-consuming, I wouldn't be disappointed by any means.

Anyway, an AGN SotW could occur only with your approval. Like I said, the amount of input from you would be minimal (unless you actually want to be in charge of it ). The SotW is popular at PureZC, so it is guaranteed to be popular here.

I just wonder, if DD likes the idea, who would be in charge of it.

[The_Amaster]

Oh goody. We're on our way. If it gets approved, I have a couple shots I know I could use.
And as always, I'll help out however is needed.

[Joe123]

Sure, I'm up for it.

How about you Pineconn. You thought of it. You already have the ability to post messages on the main page.
