  Contest Ideas?
 
I've been throwing around the idea of having a space theme building contest. I was thinking of making a model the prize. Mostly, I would like to just see everyones best space creations and stuff. If I did this, would a model be a sufficient prize (...) (26 years ago, 4-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Contest Ideas?
 
(...) I don't think a prize would be neccesary to get people to participate. I'd just have to stop procrastinating first. ;) (...) I like the voting idea myself, but you'd need someway to make sure people only vote once (1). What about multiple (...) (26 years ago, 4-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Contest Ideas?
 
(...) I would rather do the voting method but it seems like with Email there would be too many ways to get lots of votes in. Not to say I don't trust anyone, but I would like to set this up as fair as possible. (...) I don't see why that would be a (...) (26 years ago, 4-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Contest Ideas?
 
(...) Not having actual prizes would help minimize the impulse of someone to cheat. I like to think the people here are mature enough to not have to stoop to such stupid things anyway. I believe there are ways to check email origins to filter out (...) (26 years ago, 5-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Contest Ideas?
 
(...) I'd like to generate interest, and I'm not sure if only having a spiffy award icon would inspire people to build something as cool as... oh I don't know... a ULV-017 (I loved it m'man). Having a rule that only one vote per email address might (...) (26 years ago, 5-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

  Re: Contest Ideas?
 
(...) If over 1 dozen entries is a smashing success (1) I agree. You put up the prizes, you run the contest any way you want. Get Todd to participate, he runs the CLSotW pretty non controversially. But I think rather than one man, one vote, it (...) (26 years ago, 6-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Contest Ideas?
 
(...) Since Matthew's message (lugnet.general:1131) we've decided rather than compete, we'd put on one big show. We Floridians stick together... thats why the fates let the new sets touch down in Orlando (At least, thats my theory ;-)). Oh, and did (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Wish we could get that here. It's 6:15pm and 60.3F outside right now. Pretty crappy December, if you ask me. I don't know the last time I sweated on my birthday, but it looks like I'll be doing it this year. :/ (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
