the superhero quiz tonight was fun! (might have been beacause I managed to snag myself a cool million inf over the course of it)
don't know anything that hasn't been mentioned...suppose bio writing contests, and after i13 there could be some kind of mission/arc creator contests, but since there's rewards for them anyway it might defeat the purpose.
@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
how about some competitions on villains for once

Agreed.
But the point is there seems to be no such a habit for the villains to organise that kind of events. Besides, Heroes are used to hang out in Atlas - Atlas Park seems to have evolved into a place for the purpose of socalising with others and it is an open area near the transit points to various zones. Most important of all, Atlas Park is a place where, nevermind you are lv1 - lv50, new or veteran, you will find yourself going pass there from time to time. It just so happens to be a convenient place for most people.
The close equivalent over on Villains I could think of is the Black Market is Cap where you actually find people gathering around; but then most people there are there for trading and there is no massive movement of players across that area as it is in Atlas Park. And because of that, there is a fewer casual conversation takes place there than in Atlas. Also having the Black Market at your finger tips can be a bit of distraction after all. I suppose it is way Villains zones are organised that makes players naturally running into each other less likely and so less likely to form groups that would organise events.
There have been a few Costume Competitions over on Villains recently. But then again, we still need to villains to get used to coming to those kind of events.
A solution is that: organise those events in Pocket D. Currently Heroes and Villains cannot trade between each other and is such a major hinderance in disturbing prizes. A way to around it is to find both Hero and Villain organisers to handle the events. So prizes can be coming from both sides and thus both sides can participate the same events. (minor problem with organising costume competition in Pocket D is that, apart from the conceptual different between Hero and Villain, the lighting there is not as good as in normal PvE zones. Other than that, is it a good place for players organised events.)
A Race?
In Atlas?... Ummm, Synchronized emote dancing?, we need GuildWars/AoC dancing mini-games for that though.
Couple of nights ago on union in atlas there was a competition night in which from 8pm until midnight there was non stop competitions (some held by me) with a ton of interest from a wide variety of players. First time in a long while that iv seen players have good clean fun and just want some help deciding what other kinds of competitions can be made.
So the point of this thread is:
What competitions in atlas would make you participate/what would you like to see more of?
At the moment i can only think of the usual cossie contests, rock paper scissors tournie, atlas hide and seek, a version of who wants to be an influenceaire and well thats it.
Note: Before people mention it, i know what happened last time i tried to organise an event so wouldnt organise something until the ACTUALY day to avoid lateness
