Sorry for the delay on the poll, guys. Originally I was going to wait to hear back from @BorgMan, because I wasn't sure what he wanted to use as his final entry. But to avoid a longer delay I'm just going ahead now with the more likely entry and post the voting thread now. @BorgMan, please contact me if you want me to change your entry in the poll. This month I challenged the forum to visualize a Star Trek video game that never was. Many fine and highly creative pieces were submitted and are presented below in an equalized thumbnail fashion – click on the thumbnails to view them in glorious high-definition! A million thanks to every participant! And now: happy voting! @B.J. @BorgMan @DeMilburn @Laura Cynthia Chambers @M @Orac
^ Thank you, @Finn! And many thanks once again to everyone who voted for my entry. I really do appreciate it. This was a fun month with many fine contributions. As for the next contest, I'm kinda out of ideas for a new theme, to be honest. And I would love to get suggestions from you guys. Does anyone have a good idea for this month?
I really like the idea and immediately have ideas in my mind, but I wonder if it defines the parameters of the end result too narrowly. I prefer challenges that let every contestant decide for themselves what kind of medium their entry will end up. I don't know, what do others think? Also, like @Mapper, I'm very curious what the other contestants would like to see.
You could just call it "current events". That way it could take the form of a headline, or merely an image from a newspaper.
Man, sorry i missed the vote...i would have voted for M as well, but Orac used the setting for my favorite game, Galaga... would've have loved to see more of it!
You know, that sounds like a good idea. I'll give it some further thought and post the new contest tomorrow.
