[Contest] The best Contest idea contest!

Status
Not open for further replies.
So I have procured 3 copies of Borderlands 2 and 1 copy of System Shock 2 to give out. Here is the contest, give out contest ideas they can be as fanciful (and insane/impossible) as you would like I'll pick my favorite 4 (in one weeks time) and put those into a poll to be voted on by the forum and starting at the highest rated to the lowest rated they get to pick if they want SS2 or Borderlands 2. One someone picks SS2 everyone else gets Borderlands. Sounds simple? GO!
 
Guess Dave's Age: Whoever guesses the correct time period from a rambling anecdote from Dave, wins! Bonus points if it involves wearing an onion on your belt.
 
uhh.. I have 3 copies of Borderlands 2 and 1 copy of System shock 2?
Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you were actually going to run the four best contests, and the winners of those contests got the prizes.

Now I know!

And knowing is half the battle.
 
1. First, all contestants are gathered in a room, in a major city, say London or New York.
2. The contestants are then each given a map, a compass, ten dollars, and a digital wristwatch.
3. The contestants are told that they have to find the treasure. However, they are not told what the treasure is, or where it might be hidden. They are only told that when they find the treasure, they will definitely know it.
4. Furthermore, to find the treasure, they must follow a series of clues.
5. The first clue is hidden in this very room.

Twist: There is no clue hidden in the room. Some of the contestants will realize this. Some of them may say so out loud. Eventually everyone in the room will get frustrated and leave.

6. After everyone leaves, two men in dark suits enter the room. They each carry a briefcase. The first man opens his briefcase to reveal a screen that tracks every contestant via hidden transmitters in the wristwatches.
7. The second man opens his briefcase. It also tracks every contestant.
8. Each man draws a gun. They check their guns together, then holster them.
9. They leave the room together.
10. The one who hunts down the most contestants is the winner.
 
Stage One: The Preparation
  1. A small group of contestants is selected. Each is given a pen, a journal, and some paperclips. This is all they are allowed to carry other than food, water, and clothing.
  2. Each is dropped off in a small town somewhere in the world, where they do not speak the language.
  3. A certain Dave or minion thereof meets them in the hotel bar and delivers three photos. One is of a person. One is of an object. And one is an extremely zoomed-in Google map image.
Stage Two: The Game
  1. Contestants traverse the world. They must find the person, the object, and the place. They must get a photo of themselves with all three and hand-deliver it to Dave.
  2. All contestants are competing for the same person/object/place, and so long as everything they use is obtained after the game begins, there are no rules governing their behaviour toward the others players.
Stage Three: Victory
  1. The victor receives his own tropical island.
 
1. First, all contestants are gathered in a room, in a major city, say London or New York.
2. The contestants are then each given a map, a compass, ten dollars, and a digital wristwatch.
3. The contestants are told that they have to find the treasure. However, they are not told what the treasure is, or where it might be hidden. They are only told that when they find the treasure, they will definitely know it.
4. Furthermore, to find the treasure, they must follow a series of clues.
5. The first clue is hidden in this very room.

8. Each man draws a gun. They check their guns together, then holster them.
9. They leave the room together.
10. The one who hunts down the most contestants is the winner.

The Internet Challenge, featuring three goals.

1. Convince a friend or an acquaintance that The Onion is real. Take a screenshot of them angrily reacting to an article on Facebook, and post it here to serve as proof.

2. Get a cat. Get a cheeseburger. Put them together in a room. Take pictures of what happens. Caption them with spelling and grammar that would give an English teacher a headache. Post it here to serve as proof.

3. Find a topic that has not been subjected to Rule 34. Once you find that unicorn, post it here to be subject to verification by the Official Pornhunters Panel, a blue-ribbon group plucked from the hidden alcove of the NSFW forum.

Isn't there a corollary that if you find something in violation of Rule 34, porn of it comes into being?

Hide something somewhere in the world and have the forumites guess what it is, where it is, and who put it there. Make it West of Acapulco. Watch Calleja lose his fucking mind.[DOUBLEPOST=1368755182][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh. My. God. Chad Sexington's Rule of Quantum Porn!

Sexington's Law! I like it.

Sexington's Law of Quantum Porn: Any item found to be in violation of Rule 34 instantly creates porn of it.

Stage and then post a picture to answer a question of the contest holder's choice.

Ex: Why were you late for work?

Points for humor, originality, and clarity of the story.
 
The Worst Eating Contest Ever, Seriously, it's the Worst!

Using the king of fucked up eating, LABeast, the contest runner chooses one of the insane eating challenges LABeast has done on his Youtube channel. We all in turn post videos of ourselves attempting them. The ones who complete the challenge move on to the next round. In the case of no one pulling it off, the person who managed to come closest will be declared the winner.

Warning, no one should ever attempt these challenges. These challenges are likely unbelievably harmful to your health and to your very soul. Your family will be ashamed of you.

EXAMPLE:

 
On a dinner plate, create a face out of food. It doesn't have to be one meal, but it has to fit on a (fairly standard-sized) dinner plate.

The best/funniest/most creative face wins.

The last contest I came up with was such a bad idea it only got a couple of entries. I'd call it the worst contest ever, but it started my friendship with LittleKagsin ; I guess I ended being the winner. :D


I think a Reaction GIFs contest would be hilarious. Adam and Dave have proven to be pretty good at it, and I bet there's undiscovered talent out there among Halforumites. It's pretty easy to do with GifCam , so pretty much anyone with an idea can do it now.
 
Spoiler contest. It takes place over a year, and the winner is determined by who had their movie/book spoiler retweeted or shared the most added to the number of people sending angry tweets or comments about how the spoiler ruined the experience for them.
