Task #2: Please Me... Aesthetically
Welcome to your second task. For your second task, I will be testing your ability to create aesthetically pleasing designs. Creating an appealing design for your game. Each task will be scored out of 50. The team that scores the highest overall will win the Task and be safe from the boardroom. The losing team's PM will select two other team members to join him in the boardroom to face me, and one of those three will be fired. The purpose of this task is to use your imagination to create aesthetically appealing designs. Feel free to think outside the box to apply a theme. You're given a blank piece of paper, and a box of crayons, the rest is up to you.
Assignment #3:
Rules of the Game
Each team is to format the rules below. You can use whatever font size, font color, area alignment, etc., that you can imagine. I want to see if you have the technique to create aesthetically pleasing text. You may add text, or move text around, but you may not delete text.
Code: Select all
FERRIS WHEEL
Ok here is the grave situation. All players are strapped into seats on a ferris wheel. At the highest point of the wheel, there is a machine gun that can obliterate any other player's seat in the time a player has to fire it before their seat starts to descend.
You all have cell phones though so you can try to persuade people not to shoot you, or make alliances, etc.
The last person standing, wins!
This game is ridiculously simple and barely needs a mod. Just as many people as possible may sign up. I will randomly put everybody in a turn order. When it's your turn, you may kill: otherplayer in the thread. Then it is immediately the turn of the next living player in the turn order.
If you do not kill somebody in 26 hours of it becoming your turn, your grip on the gun causes your arms to be pulled off and you die. Next guy's turn.
I will not prod people when it's their turn, that is everybody else's job! Definitely talk outside the thread if you want.
I would like to have 200 players. But I'll start it up if I can get 12ish within a few days. If people trickle in afterwards then they can just go at the end of the turn order.
Assignment #4:
The Banner
To further test your artistic abilities, I want each team to create a banner for the hypothetical Ferris Wheel game. Create something that will blow me away. This can be something that is used in the opening post, added to your signature, or whatever the case may be.
Your assignments are due 9:00 PM Est. on Tuesday, August 16.
Please have them sent to me via PM for evaluation. A 24 hour extension is possible if both teams agree to it.
Things to keep in mind:
- Are the assignments sharp and clear?
- Does my final product look crappy or cheap?
- Would these designs catch the attention of any onlooker?
- Do the colors go well together? Is there a creative theme that I can apply to my game?
What am I looking for?
