Instead of modeling, could we do building in real time? We could use Lego bricks, clay, playdoh, etc

I would definitely be interested in this. It seems like something that a lot of people could do.

For online fangames, I think that Super Smash Bros. fangame has an online (Super Smash Bros. Crusades, I think it's called). I don't know how good the game is since I've never actually played it and I don't know how the online works, but that's just a suggestion. I think it would be best to stick to official games for gaming competitions, though.

I do too, but there are probably some exceptions, such as Vinny's idea about the Pokemon battle thing.

Yeah, I think we should stick to official games as well.

If we are going to have Pokemon Battle comps. I have a list of them that we could use.
- Pokemon Online

- Pokemon Showdown

I really like Pokemon Showdown.
I would really like to do a Pokemon competition at some point, since I love battling competitively.

Eh, I don't really like Pokémon, but that might be just me.

I don't either, but most people do. In fact, almost everyone in my grade plays Pokémon.

Yeah, I can relate

Just going to throw this out there, but not everyone has to like every competition. I'm sure there will be some competitions I don't enter just because the theme isn't something I'm good at/interested in/etc. In the case of a Pokemon tournament/whatever, it probably wouldn't be the best one to start with, but I'd love to see it done sometime down the road.

And just to be clear, I'm not saying this to be negative in any way. Just stating a thought.

Probably too late for this, but here's a crude suggestion: a voice acting competition. Where the "theme-picker" decides a character to voice forge and a quote/sentence that the competitors must try to voice. Of course it would have to be more than just a couple of words and whoever sounds the best/most convincing (determined by votes I guess) wins.

That's actually an interesting idea. even though I'd be terrible at it...

A voice contest isn't really skill-based

I like the voice acting idea, too. Why isn't voice acting "skill-based" in your opinion?

Because it depends entirely on your voice how well you can imitate someone. Why aren't you voicing Mario elsewise?
EDIT: Unless you can voice any particular character for that reason and you can create your own, and your pitch/dialect/whatever doesn't matter.

I think it would be best to maybe have a few lined to choose from, and then you can create your own voice and pitch that you think will go best with the line. Then winner will be the one who gets the most into character (since they would probably get the most votes). I suck at acting, so I don't know a lot about how it works, but I don't think it would be fair to make everyone voice a particular line or phrase that goes best with a certain voice only a few people can create, or having people voice a certain character like Mario or Peach who both have fairly distinct voices that not many people can imitate. In fact, having people mimic a specific character is probably a bad idea since that depends more on what voice or accent you have, rather than your acting skills.

Why would you make a cooking competition?

Why not?

I got an idea from this Fujiko's physics problem involving Sonic. Maybe we could make a competiton in solving math/physics problems?
