CC Time Trials- Suggestion Thread

[teh Hamburgler]

I think we should start doing CC time trials (small colalbs about a topic and has to be completed in a couple of days). Because AbsintheClock wants the CC to start doing something useful I guess this would be a good Idea. I would like some suggestions on how these Time Trials should be held. (awards, flash settings, topics, who will be in charge)

[SwirlberryClock]

These would be awesome. I think maybe a little pixel award would do, because people love those. As for topics and resolutions, that can be decided in a matter of seconds. But, I think anybody should be able to run them, as long as they get the consent of an admin/mod. That way, it could perhaps get stickied or something in the general, make it more noticeable, not in the dark corners of the Collab forum.

How about people get split into groups, then they have to do a collab on the same topic. 2 days later submit the movies to newgrounds and the next day see what the scores of each movie are, the movie with the highest score wins and choses the next topic.

EDIT: Instead of awards straight away would a table be good, like this is held weekly and the group with the most points at the end win, and then get an award.

I like that idea. That could work out pretty well.

Why exactly is that your first reason for wanting to do this :l

[AbsintheClock]

Do shit because you want to. Not because I said to do it. My post was to motivate in a threatening tone. Like a drill Sargent or Coal's mother when she gets kinky in the sack.

[GamblerClock]

It's still a good idea and i think that quite a few people would sign up for this.

[SwirlberryClock]

Who would want to set this up? Any takers? I would, but I don't think anybody would do it if I hosted it.

Do it!! Do it!!

CC Flash Tournament? Bracket tournament? Different themes, paired up, we judge, etc. Then in the finals, user votes.

Isn't the Phlash Phandango pretty much the same thing?

[SwirlberryClock]

Who would host such a thing?

It's not a collaborative effort.

Ah, alright.
Also, would we put this on the Clockcrew Newgrounds account or what?

Depends on what your talking about, the two man collab, or the time trials. Time trails, I'd say so, and co-author the top three or so winners. But not the two man.

Also this would be a table. eg:
A & B   ---------- 3/4 points
Y & Z  -----------1/4 points
1 &2 ------------ 0/4 points

Whatever you're planning, don't use the Clock Crew account. Time Trials are generally done half-ass and are better for honing one's skills rather than creating a masterpiece.

True. Swirlberry, shall we give it a go? make a thread and see what type of response we get?
EDIT: After clockday that is

This is a good point and I'll have to agree with you.

LOL. I was just reenforcing my opinio with yours.

[ChocolateCoffin]

CC time trials have already been done, it doesn't really work that well. we got to like 3 episodes last time

[SwirlberryClock]

Well, if time trials didn't work, than how about the two man team collab contest type deal.
