Contest frequency discussion
Mirror: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16899561/discussion-contest-timings
There has been significant discussions around the frequency of contests This thread aims to provide a space to discuss said concerns.
The status quo/general plan for a year event wise is:
1 kcon
2 other contests (may be team contests)
1 art contests
Art exchange
And assorted events
The Kcon is replaced with another contest if there is not a need for one that year, though we do average one per year.
Due to the backlash over wrathcon, the remainder of this years events (other than AE) have been canceled.
One of the reasons for the overlapping of wrathcon and pridefest was CO planning too many contests this year, with a total of 4 contests. This was in error.
We are also opening up the option for putting one of those contests back in. There are three options that we think might be liked:
1: A teamcon
2: A contest where artists make SCP fuel and others have to write for it
3: Newbie con, only users with fewer than 3 articles can enter
In addition we are debating a short non contest event focused around curation rather than creation. Entries would be curated lists of already existing articles as opposed to something actually written or drawn.
As such we have the following questions:
Is the standard schedule too many events and contests?
Should we move more contests into non contest events?
Do you want another contest this year?
If so, which of the three would you prefer?
What kinds of contests and events are you interested in the future
Are you interested in a curation event?
This discussion will go on for one week
