The X Factor

[SkulkrinBait]

Not really a KoM issue, but one for the whole quartet.

It's an idea I had, feel free to flame me as usual!

How about we organise an X Factor style contest (those in Europe may not know what I am on about) where players can "audition" for a prize.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X_Factor_%28TV_series%29

The auditions would be along the lines of the questionnaires we send out and a judging panel of some of the more experienced players would pick the winner(s).

The most talented player(s) would get to join Luxor as admin, or setup a new Morkin branch as admins, something like that. They'd get a nice amount of cats and stoners and resources as well to make it a nice worthwhile prize.

We get some publicity and some talented players as well.

Comments?

I'm so full of "good" ideas at the moment, if I'm not careful my foot might fall off!

;D

Mark me down for some cats, stoners, and gold to the prize pot.

Does this contest come with out of line ridiculing, general emotional bashing of the contestant, and hilarious anecdotes about their worthlessness?

That's why everyone watches those shows.

If you like, depends who the judges are!

I suggest if we do this it would have it's own thread on the Ik forums for people to follow, we could call it The I Factor, as in I for Inselkampf.

Keep in mind, we may have some isles that folks don't want to be bothered with from the Operation Columbus colonizations - definitely a possibility for the "prize pot". Obviously we'd want to keep the competition internal if we're giving up islands to the winner...

The X Factor started out in the UK (At least I think it did)

But fair idea, yes. I'd be up for donating something to the prize pot.

Ill take part and donate or whatever I can
