Re: Visualizing the Halo Universe Round 5 Summary

In Response To: Re: Visualizing the Halo Universe Round 5 Summary (PriorMarcus)


: Yeah, what I meant in regards to the rules, if I can use the covenant
: spaceship contest as an example, is that the rule saying it had to be a
: ship previously seen or mentioned, with a fully fleshed out background was
: very constricting.

: I think it would be easier to just say that whatever is designed has to fit
: within the canon, make sense in the universe, but not be absolutely
: beholden to it. The fleshed out background is more helpful here, I think,
: because it allows people to really consider their design and come up with
: something interesting that still serves a purpose/has a logic.

Okay, I'll take that into account. The ship thing I wanted to be with preexisting ships, because I had seen so many of them and wondered what they would look like if illustrated in more detail. But I think working in a 'free' round after the 'misc' round might be a good idea and help to appeal to anyone who doesn't like the fictional constraints as much. I don't want to destroy the original purpose of this contest so I'm not going to remove the constraints altogether. I'll loosen up on adherence to them in terms of requiring it for submission and just strongly encourage it, as suggested. But then I'll do an all out free round after a few of the 'canon' ones.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I think every suggestion helps to make this more fun for everyone. :)
