OFFICIAL RULES AND INFO:

Partners in Crime Contest

The idea behind this contest is to get people together to reach a common goal. Make a game that they normally wouldn't make. To do that, obviouslly you can't do it by yourself. So for this contest you must team up with someone you have never worked with before on any given OHR project to create something trully unique based on a theme.

I'm planning on starting this whole thing the last week of May.

There is a method to the madness of this contest. I will be creating a large list of themes, and you will be randomlly assigned one, and you and your partner(s) will have until June 30th to finish a game.

Judging will take place for a solid week and each game will be judged from a scale of 1-10. The team's game with the most points by the end of judging will earn themselves a wonderful prize. The prize will be forty bucks, divided among the team mates.

At the beginning of the last week of May, I will give out the themes and you will be able to start immediately after you recieve it.

Aren't the partners randomly put together?

I don't think so. It just has to be someone you've never worked with before.

I want to do this contest, but I know my procrastination issue will likely impede whoever would have been my partner, so I would feel bad if I joined and that happened.

But if the partners aren't randomly put together by someone who knows the community, then how to make sure they really didn't work together at all before?

That's why I said "by someone who knows the community" so he can make sure that this doesn't happen.

Hey guys. The argument ended before it even began.

I am going to go out on a limb and assume people have already teamed up via PM.

Oh I see.

But yeah it's possible to put people randomly together even if you have defined rules. The contest creator could write them down in the order they come to his mind and then go through the list in order and take the first person he knows hasn't worked together with the first person in the list and then puts them together. That might not seem random, but it's more random than the random function of a computer.

Nothing can be more random than a human's mind.
