ORG, TWC, and the Official Forum - what would the ORG specialize in?

[Maltz]

I'd like to hear input from as many members as possible; new members, senior members, regular members, oldtimers, people who just signed up 5 minutes ago; everybody. Be open. Share your thoughts and no idea is too crazy.

It is true that for a movie conest, there is a high requirement of camera/editing/music skills. Screenshot and story contests are easy in comparison. The current screenshot thread in the Shogun 2 forum has collected so many great pictures - maybe we can just pick a few dozens and let people vote on them! Then we can make a slide show of the winners completed with music and the contributor's ID.

While the number of participants may be limited, we should still attract a good number of spectators. If we provide links of enough submissions, we are gauranteed to have visitors. The snowball will rolll and the next contest will attract more participants.

Promotion can be done on member's level, so it does not become the ORG's aggressive advertisement strategy. We can ask members to spread the news if they happen to patronize another total war forum. I actually have done that for the current creative video contest.

And thanks for trying to get this thread on the right track again
