Many times, over the last few years, I have heard various people say things along the lines of "if only there was as much competition on game X as there is on Donkey Kong..."
Today, this got me thinking... what if we as a DK community used our combined efforts to focus on, say, one CAG game a month, and sought to have a little friendly (but serious) competition. I think if we just got maybe 20 people in the DK community, on average, to seriously play a game that we voted on as a game that either needs more attention, or we would simply like to have a competition on, we could both 1) show that we're not as DK-obsessed as some people think we are, and 2) we could encourage the learning of other games and develop camaraderie beyond just DK-playing.
So here's my plan of action (I can do most the organizing, if need be, but I may need some help here or there):
1. We use this thread to flesh out the idea and figure out any daunting logistics.
2. We create another thread titled something like 'Monthly Non-DK Competition Game Suggestions' where we simply compile a whole list of games people wanna see played, and people can argue their case for the specific games there.
3. I make a poll before each month with all/many (I may have to somehow limit the list by random selection if it gets too long -which it probably will) of the games listed, where we can vote on what game will be the next month's competition title.
Whatcha all think?
Other possible ideas:
1. People who feel motivated to can offer up bounties for specific titles.
2. Maybe, eventually, we can have some months be devoted to DK-variations (e.g. CK, D2K, Monkey Donkey, Brazil Kong, etc).
3. Maybe, on certain months, we can focus on beating the records on titles that Brian Allen plays!
