Pay It Forward Design Challenge [Registration Thread]
IT'S BAAACK!
So for those of you unfamiliar with this challenge, I came up with the idea a couple months ago when I was having conversations with Strop and np1993 about the "Cars You Don't Brag About" thread. I ended up issuing a challenge to Strop with a whole bunch of restrictions, to see if he could design a car given the constraints and a goal. And of course he did, because he's nuts like that.
Then I began to wonder what would happen if we made it into sort of a chain challenge. Whoever completes the last leg of the challenge comes up with a set of restrictions and a goal for the next person on the list, and so on and so forth. Something that is out of the norm for what that person normally builds, or something you think might trip them up.
Whoever receives the challenge has 3 days to complete it and post their results (including LUA files) in the thread. There are no winners/losers in this challenge as it is not officially graded. Of course, "feedback" from the community is always encouraged when a challenge is issued/completed.
However, if the community agrees that an entry is hilariously terrible (not necessarily through the fault of the builder), it must be posted in np1993's "Cars You Don't Brag About" thread.
So what I'd like to see is if we have some brave volunteers/victims who would be willing to submit themselves to this challenge.
***NOTE: CHALLENGERS ARE EXPECTED TO ISSUE SCENARIOS THAT ARE INTERESTING AND FUN, BUT REASONABLY POSSIBLE. IF NO ONE CAN BEAT YOUR SCENARIO, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A LUA FILE AS PROOF OF POSSIBILITY. ***
Those of you who have played this before know what to expect. Those who are new, refer to the old Pay it Forward thread for some examples.
We'll have a sign-up phase for a bit, then I'll randomize the play order. Whoever ends up LAST on this list will ISSUE the first challenge to the player at the TOP of the list. Then that player completes it, issues a new one to the next person on the list, and so on and so forth. When a challenge is issued, the player issuing the challenge posts the challenge in the main thread, then sends a PM to the person being challenged, notifying them that it is ready. ALL players are allowed/encouraged to play the challenges if they're not the one challenged, however we ask that you do NOT post any results or LUAs until either the challenged player posts theirs, gives up, or times out of the challenge.
Initial signups are done, but you may continue to sign up in this thread. Post a reply at the end and I will assign you to a group.
***PLEASE BE AWARE, THIS IS A COMMUNITY MOD PACK FRIENDLY CHALLENGE. IF YOU HAVE NOT DOWNLOADED THE COMMUNITY MOD PACK, PLEASE DO SO. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING MODS THAT ARE NOT CONTAINED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY MOD PACK***
So, without further ado - who wants to play? Ya lovable nutjobs!
