Hey everyone, we are going to have prizes for our next event, since we want the maximum number of submissions and fair chances for everyone to win, which kind of musical event would you like to join ?

#

@everyone

coarse cedar
#

another idea: we could have a battle of the bands, where bands have a given amount of time to produce a song, and then the server votes for the winner

#

i suppose that may fall under "simple songwriting contest"

urban spade
#

no, because it's in the case of a prize to win for a single person

#

"Soloing over a backing track contest" sounds so boring to me, I mean sure there are very talented people but I'd like to see something more creative

coarse cedar
#

such as?

buoyant hazel
#

More such as songwriting

urban spade
#

Wow that's not a lot of votes, I repeat we have an upcoming event with prices

buoyant hazel
#

But discord skips mentions for me sometimes

urban spade
#

Maybe because it was inside a poll

#

@everyone

buoyant hazel
#

this one did, lol

forest viper
#

whats the prize? ball of lint?

urban spade
#

probably software

urban spade
#

4 votes....

coarse cedar
#

i mean hey 1 vote per 10k people thats not that bad

urban spade
#

It just feel sad to fight to get prizes and such feedback

#

Worst case scenario staff will win it

coarse cedar
#

i imagine that at least more people are gonna join the event even if they're not participating now

forest viper
#

maybe you can take that lack of desired feedback as feedback and adjust accordingly. "no, it's these tens of thousands of people that are wrong."

coarse cedar
#

what are you on about dude

#

there's literally an "other, please specify" option

#

should the lack of response be taken as the majority of the server saying that they dont want an event with prizes to to happen?

urban spade
#

Don't worry tho, when the event launch, nobody will have to complain

#

Maybe more people will wanna vote if they have a better idea of what the prize is and it's rough value

#

maybe just add the actual price in news or smthn

urban spade
#

I ask which kind of event, not a commitment

buoyant hazel
#

I'm still not quite sure if your pings even reached all people, the second one reached me because I was already in the chat

urban spade
#

I posted in #news etc if people mute the server I don't know

eager thunder
#

I think it should be like “show off a skill you struggle with”

coarse cedar
#

how would you determine a winner?

tawdry jolt
#

Teams created sent to different VC to create something together, then all tracks submitted and winners share a prize of some kind.

vivid acorn
#

just give the price to me, saves the hassle

urban spade
#

There will be some voting don't worry, for now we are choosing the event typz

vivid acorn
#

i suck at guitar, thought id try my luck

urban spade
#

That's why I offered several event types

gloomy pilot
#

If I were to win and don't want it can I give it to another person?

urban spade
#

yes

vivid acorn
#

no worries

#

So, the votes led to "soloing over a backing track" contest

#

now I have to define how the winners will be selected

coarse cedar
#

i suggest 1v1s and then the community votes for the winner

#

or smthn like first round 25 people, second round 20, third round 10, fourth round 5, fifth round 3, then final round 1v1

urban spade
#

the only thing that bothers me is that rocksmith is a learning tool and giving prizes to the best players sounds a little paradoxal

dusk mica
#

age group solos contests?

#

over a backing track probably

#

cuz a 20 yro with 7-8 years of playing experience would definitely win to a 12 yro with 1-2 years of playing

#

so this sounds like giving a fair chance to everyone

#

(not that im 12yro or smth but js an example)

#

then there could be a community vote(as suggested by @coarse cedar to choose the better one)

#

each round

coarse cedar
dusk mica
#

exactly what i said

#

but a 12 year old can't have the same experience can't beat a 25 year old with 12 year experience

#

...

people can't be THAT dumb

urban spade
#

What if I have several prizes and can create categories?

#

But age can be cheated

coarse cedar
# dusk mica common sense c'mon

cmon sense says a 12 year old can be way better than a person of any age by the simple virtue of the 12 year old being better

#

thats why its fair, nothing is stopping kids from being just as good or better than adults

#

sure there are life factors and all that, but how do you realistically accou t for that

dusk mica
#

find me a 12 year old guitarist better than Bernth

#

i'll accept my fate then

dusk mica
#

like an id card or smth

dusk mica

#

No weird extra steps like that

urban spade
#

If there is a junior category and I ask for winner's id he can cheat

coarse cedar
#

but i dont really see how finding a single example would prove anything to you

coarse cedar
#

it's not really a life experience thing

dusk mica
urban spade
#

Please stop that convo, there are Asian kids that can outshred anyone, this is sterile, answer me rather

#

12 is forbidden on the server anyway

bright elm
#

solid point

#

regardless i dont know anyone under the age of 16 having id

coarse cedar
bright elm
#

im the us most people dont have valid ID until they get their learners permit

#

plus making people show ID for a fuckin guitar competition is a tad overboard

coarse cedar
#

agreed
