Jesse_Custer 06/30/17 11:31:36 AM #1:	Which of these ideas would you be most interested in? Best Comic Book Movie/TV Show Best Beatles Song Best Adapted Character Best Cover Art Best Amusement/Theme Park Ride Something else (post your idea) View Results I'm in the mood to do some kind of bracket tournament, help me decide. Here's a few ideas I'm considering, and feel free to suggest other stuff. 1. Best Comic Book Movie/TV Show - I ran this contest once before, any movies or TV shows based on comics would be eligible. I'm pretty sure The Dark Knight won last time, so I'd leave it out to make the contest less predictable. 2. Best Beatles Song - Been listening to them a lot lately and I thought this might be a fun music oriented contest. 3. Best Adapted Character - This idea is for a contest involving characters who started in one medium, and were then adapted to a different medium. For example, The Joker from The Dark Knight movie or The Joker in Arkham Asylum would be eligible, but not the original version in the comics. 4. Best Cover Art - Covers for anything would be eligible, video games, albums, DVDs, books, etc. 5. Best Amusement/Theme Park Ride - Just what it sounds like, any amusement/theme park ride around the world would be eligible. <cite>Jesse_Custer posted [p:882088621] in Ideas for ...

Tom Bombadil posted... so I'll say best waifu I like character-based stuff but I feel like waifus are kind of played out how about "best bro" (bro being a non-gender-exclusive term obv) or "best eternal rival" or something like that or even "best companion on a cross-country odyssey to find God" but that kind of thing is better suited for a writeup project --- You put your RESOLVE HAT back on, which conveniently is the same hat as your NORMAL HAT. {Drakeryn} <cite>Gatarix posted [p:882090387] in Ideas for ...

Jesse_Custer 06/30/17 3:00:05 PM #22:	This wound up being close. I'll try to decide soon. Leaning no on comic movies/shows because it has the least votes and I've done it before. And probably no on the Beatles because I thought that one would do much better. Not sure about the others yet.
