Or rather 'CAN YOU THINK OF AN IDEA FOR A NEW COMPETITION?', because im a bit crap at it.
The best one i had was to invent a new Villain for Dredd. Either drawn/described/both.
All ideas are welcome, so fire away.
There are no prizes for comp' ideas, but when a competition is decided upon i'll put up a first prize of the 'Complete Horned God' (paperback, slightly dog-eared), and a runner up prize of 'Sin/Dex - gun lovin' criminals' (paperback, hardly read!!).
I await strange replies....
i'm thinking mr men...
How about "Draw a picture of Anderson on the bog"?
Something gruesome. Or redesign Dredd.
new villain for dredd i like it.
can we go with that one?
I was going to suggest new Dredd Villain. But you said that already.
How about rewritting a story that's already been drawn, with your own story and text (much like the Hap Hazzard competition that Tharg run in 2000ad).
Use any of the strips currently available in the Thrillviewer (follow link). Either download edit, and upload the reedited version, or just write the dialogue (in the form of a script) here- not forgeting to let us know which story it is.

How about "design a message boarder?"
We come up with all his character traits, name, icon and whatever else we feel like, then anyone can use him to post whatever they like.
Actually, that way lies madness...

Well, 'design a baddie' is currently in the lead, but 'the madness of King trout' has the potential to storm ahead and destroy all opposition.
I'll give you all to midight on saturday to decide/come up with something better. (and lets face it, something better shouldnt be TOO difficult...!)

I like the redesign Dredd idea.... but I LOVE the Trout's idea!
Dredd baddie is a goodie, so I vote for that.
What about a Pat Mills character fan fiction story?
or even design a droid?
Design an outfit for Tharg to wear?
- Trout
who's got the stinkiest bottom burps?
that would be me.
couldn't we design a new telephone dial for tharg?
God would not approve, Krusty!
How about inventing a new Betelgeusian phrase like wot Tharg speaks? Zarjaz, Grexnix etc.
(minor thread hi-jack)
A few people have mentioned that they'd like to see another board art comp. I've got prizes, and if there's interest, I'll run it. Two things then - who would like it? (to give me a general idea) and what should the topic be? I'd like it to be slightly more challenging, but not very limiting. Currently my best idea is 'Boarders and 2000AD' but I'm sure people can do better.
If people don't want another yet, I'll take suggestions and run it in a few months. I just thought that even though not much time has passed since the last one, a lot of new boarders have joined since that started/ended... I'm sure some of them would like a pop too!
Prize donations welcome too, though I should be able to swing it as it is
Cheers!
Alternate Dredd or new Dredd villain is good. That way, it's judged less on how well it's drawn and more on the actual idea.
Not fussed really though- so long as it's fun.
okay okay, combine these ideas, trouts boarder, with the villian, design a board villian, thats made up & as bloody villianous as can be...
heh heh heh ahem.
Easy :P
actually, something you don't get in the prog anymore is pictures of droids. How about some nice droid pictures of Gordon/ Si/ Jock/ Dom etc?
I think JEBs hit it on the head with design baddie/dredd.
What if we have 2 comps?
I'll do the baddie idea, Mr Dribbles can do the redesign Dredd?
Sounds good to me...
And to me! Lots of fun for every..wun
I think relatively regular comps will make the board a much friendlier place to anyone who comes across it.
Currently I only know that one of the prizes in my comp withh DEFINITELY be Top Ten Book One.
cooel, are you going to start nice shiney new competition threads with rules n clear instructions for these? remember we are very dim around here.
"remember we are very dim around here"
That's the "Royal we," is it, faux-Queen?
Heh, heh, heh.

You should run the two competitions at seperate times, I reckon - to give proper focus to each one.
A while back we used to have a competition monthly run by different people, it'd be good to get into the swing of that again.
Well mine's just gone up, and is running for a month - so that's a good start! Hurrah!
You're just a naughty boy, Peter...
Actually, I feel bad now - Wooly, I hope I haven't got in yer way! Suddenly showing up with my new fangled competition and getting in there first...
No, just foolish and misguided ;)
That's the "Royal we," is it, faux-Queen?
er yeah ... you got a problem with that ?
no seriously, what ? who when ? my brain hurts.
"Actually, I feel bad now - Wooly, I hope I haven't got in yer way! Suddenly showing up with my new fangled competition and getting in there first..."
Not at all!!
I'll wait till yours is done and then get the other posted 'officially'.
Ps. Slight chance i cant post for a few days so it might be best to put mine on hold for a short while!
Hurrah! Well then get yourselves over to the 'Redesign Dredd' comp right now! I'm posting the prizes tonight too!!
