I have had an idea...

altaranga Posts: 2,510	0 0 I have had an idea... I would like to hold an online tournament for this website simply to find who is the best gamer. But in order for this to work I need the buy in from as many people as possible, which is where you lot come in. Having discussed this with a fellow forumite already I can only really see this working one of two ways. Firstly, we split it up by console and genre/game. We select a few games per console, each one representing a genre of gaming. We then have either a table (ie. fastest times) or a knockout tournament to find the best player. We would need to minimise the number of games as much as we can, or else it will get silly. Or we say "To Hell with the consoles" and just play a selection of flash games... highest scores win. It's not perfect I know, and there are always the logistics to sort out, but I'd be interested in having peoples opinions on this. From an organisational point of view the flash games would be easier, but I don't know if people would be that keen. So here are my questions to you... Is this something you would like to take part in (staff and forum as it's not official)? Would you be happy if we used flash games? At one game, yes, I know.
