We're going to get a competition going, and you guys are going to vote on what you guys want. Here's how this is going to work:
-You guys will put up ideas in this thread, while I will keep this first post as updated as I can.
-The ideas that I discourage will have italicized comments next to them, usually for requiring too much custom content. (That kind of thing is entry prohibitive)
-This competition will be goldsource + source, so dont put in an idea that can be accomplished in one but not the other. (IE: no Xen landscapes or physics bonanzas)
-After a week or so of taking ideas, you will all vote on that I've locked in. (I don't want to change votes back/forth as new ideas come in)
-Once we vote, I expect the votes to be pretty divided. Ill take the three ideas with the most votes and we'll do a re-vote on those.
If a tie-breaker should happen, we might have to re-vote again. -_
-After we decide on a theme we'll get a competition page up.
EDIT:
Since this thread is basically dead, we shall begin voting!
Our goal here is to carve down the ideas that we're interested in to make a final vote afterwards.
When you say your vote, please include the number. Once your vote has been counted, I will make it purple so I don't get confused.
