Topic	What should our next contest be?
MetalmindStats 05/12/20 8:10:19 AM #17:	_SecretSquirrel posted... I'm still going to stan for Game of the 90s, simply because it's got potential to be the best field we've ever had. As much as I like the idea, and as much as I want it to happen at some point, I'd rather not see two consecutive GotD contests with favored Zelda winners. In fact, I don't want two game contests in a row in general, not because a follow-up would be bad, but because it would be samey. Lightning Strikes posted... Nobody wants to see Iron Man getting in because he was in some trash licensed games ten years ago. The problem with this is that Iron Man has the Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel Ultimate Alliance games to his name, so it's kind of an arbitrary line to be drawing. I do get what you're going for with the Spider-Man example, because true starring roles like that are distinct from the Iron Men of the world. However, I don't see Spider-Man drawing a large chunk of votes from the 2018 game, and at that point, why bother gatekeeping the likes of Iron Man when even Batman and Spider-Man will function as licensed characters in a contest? Also, I don't trust a contest with arbitrary restrictions or an arbitrary premise in general to be interesting or worthwhile. That goes for quite a few posts I've seen so far ITT. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." You won the CBX Guru Contest, Advokaiser!
