Being that each contest is different I don't think it would be a good idea to make a "Standard rule set". It takes away from the diversity of each contest.

In that case it will be up to the hosts to add it or not.

You make some good points and we are always looking to improve the contests. I will see if I can move some UESC info to this group.

I will be sure to create a poll for the next contest. :)

Of course this group is for player interaction, we are still working on putting everything together. if you want to personally do "Some" of the above suggestions I am sure chucky will promote you to an officer. we do need all the help we can get.

Now I know what you are thinking.. "What would the contest need a donation system for? how do we know this is not just some way for the hosts to get money?" First I want you to hear me out.

As some of you may know, we get the prize games from Humble Bundle, a charity organization that uses the money to help feed people in third world nations, as well as a few other things. So when we get our games we are also giving back a little something.

Usually we only pay a dollar for three small games.. but what about the good stuff? And so I propose a prize donation system. In HB the more you pay the higher level games you can unlock, some of them triple A games. So if you want to try and better your chances at getting a good prize game we want to add the option to donate any amount of money to a pot that will be used by the contest hosts to better the contest content... lots of Cs in that sentence.

Of course there may be some trust issues for some people as the donation would go to a PayPal account. It is ok to not trust us, you just don't have to donate. I thought this would be a good way for someone to contribute to the contest even if they are not able to be a part of it. It will also allow us to have some phenomenal prizes to give out! Who knows, with word of a possible free triple A game to be had we will have a lot more people join us! Also, being that the hosts have to pay out of our own pocket means you would really be helping us out.

Anyway, that is my thoughts on the matter. If you are interested or have something to say please do so in the comments.
