At the risk of invoking the wrath of everybody in this thread. "I want a different Special Competition" (Yes, I finally voted)
It's looking like the concept of a gaming competition is going to be exceedingly difficult to manage,
preferences with this idea are far too broad, as there are a mass multitude of multiplayer games, and everyone seems to like a different one, a different style, and at times, on a different platform.
We need an idea that falls in line with how the current comps are handled.
Something that everyone can do, and on a medium we all have, something that we can get easily, or for free.
How about a sound effects comp?
I'll also be siding on the "I want a different Special Competition" here as well, because I predict at the rate finding a suitable game for this type of comp, considering how broad our individual preferences for certain types of games we play, not much progress will get done finding a happy medium if all parties just stick to their own gaming preferences on which game we should be playing for this comp and that they refuse to give up what they like to see being played, considering that others will object to the games suggested by one or more people.
I'll reiterate this quote from the other thread:

2. Gaming Competitions: You cant satisfy all MFGGers with the games and fangames suggested and means of playing that are suggested. You are just splitting hairs when you want to suggest a game that would favor all due to human preference, really.
People are still going to split hairs whenever they get the opportunity to.

True, but still, finding a suitable game to play for the people to agree on is tedious at best, pointless at its worst, and there is going to be someone who objects to what others are suggesting due to their own biases and or, if not, then facts stating why x game is terrible either played individually or with a group of people with a reason or list of reasons why x game is terrible.
