I just had a fun idea. ;D
Can there be special team tournament? Basically people would group together and form graphic designer teams.
Each team would have specific style. One team would be grunge, another could be tech or abstract, etc. And every month XDD could release a special challenge for the teams. (It could be team vs team, or a special individual challenge, or a collaboration, etc.)
The team that wins would be awarded points.
It could be like an all year tournament... And at the end of each year the points the teams earn will be tallied and the winning team members will go on like a hall of fame worm graphic.
What do you think?

That sounds a lot like clans. Clans can sometimes get into major wars and have a bad turn out, that is why they banned them on PBS.

I don't see why they would. It's no differn't than a one on one GFX battle. The only real difference there is that it's more than one person on each side. Plus, it would be more than one on one GFX battles. It would be a year long tournament, with 12 battles/ challenges. There obviously would be a limit on how many people can be on a team at any given time... Like 3 or 4.

The more than one person thing is why it was banned there, sometimes people don't always agree on it, which could start a fight within the clan.

But what would they disagree on specifically? Collaborations? Or entering only one sig? If thats the case, then it can be fixed with small modification to the rules. All team members each enter their own sig, and the team with the most votes win. And the special challenges could be collaborations and entering only one sig. You never really know how it would work out here unless you try it.

I'm not too sure this forum is huge enough to do this. It could end up with like only 2 or 3 teams..
Also, fights could come up if people don't get along. And what about members joining, not really participating, but reaping the rewards of their team?
It's a good idea deep down, but right now it seems like it would be too hard to make it work.

And what about members joining, not really participating, but reaping the rewards of their team? It's a good idea deep down, but right now it seems like it would be too hard to make it work. The PBs T.O.S. and the XDD rules would still be active, and if people don't get along then they can be removed from the team, forcibly if necessary. (The only thing they would need to "get along" over is if you approve my special "challenges" idea where they would collaborate and create one sig for an entry.) 2 or 3 teams is all thats necessary. This technically could be used to attract new members, and eventually increase the amount of teams over time. Also, people should have to have like 50-100 posts to be eligible for joining a team, to prove their activity. If members would have to participate once out of every month, then it would be almost impossible for them not to participate, they have 30 days to get their entry in. If they are somehow unable to keep their commitment to the team, then they can be removed from it.

Honestly, I really, really like this idea. It wouldn't be anything like Clans, if I understand you correctly. As Crazy said, we don't have enough activity right now, but that doesn't mean we won't try to incorporate it in the future. Thank you for this wonderful suggestion.

I only used clans as an analogy.
I'm talking about fights within the teams, say they can only enter one thing, some members of the team might like something about an entry, and others might want to change it, causing a delay in entry, and, in turn, causing members to leave out of antipathy towards their team mates.
Overall, I would say much more than 50-100 posts, maybe like 500 posts, that way we have a better understanding of how that members reacts with other members. We may know them from a different forum, but just to be fair to those we don't know, we should keep it the same way.
That would definetely make it work out better, and with a chance of less arguments.

We only have about 30 members with 100+ posts, and 11 with 500+.... That would kill the tournament(s) if we had the requirement that high. 50 posts would be a better requirement, if we did in fact do this. It's not too high, since we want new members to be able to try to achieve it.. but it's not so low that brand new members would be filling up the teams.
(Also, 50 posts makes your rank "Active Member".)
A counter-argument though... would be that for the first teams the post requirement is higher so that the teams don't fill up before the more active members try to join.

A counter-argument though... would be that for the first teams the post requirement is higher so that the teams don't fill up before the more active members try to join. Once the teams are established, if anyone leaves or is removed from a team, then new members should also have to audition to join. (They need atleast some amount of knowledge/skill with their graphic program.) This could be very beneficial for XDD because not only could it attract new members, but it would promote friendships and people could improve their graphic skills by learning from each other.

Well, didn't Matt say that once the forum is a lot more active that he would do it.

If you could work out a system that has the basic idea of teams, but then have a unique rule or something in it that would be a good idea. It would take a lot of activity as said before too.
