I've got a good musician on board and we'll be discussing battle / adventure themes along with other special things. And Tom, if you can get a programmer for me tell that person to check out my news post for what I require.

Actually, never mind. I finally found a programmer.

can't wait to see what kind of music liljim is going to bust out!

Also are we allowed to get sponsored for these projects? I can't quite make that out yet.

Would it make sense when you have a submission like this to put admin a link in the author's comments section to the Digg?

The animations themselves tend to get far more views than newsposts, I do believe.

I think the idea behind the contest is to get as MANY teams participating as possible, because the $$$ we all stand to make will be because of the popularity of the contest generating advert revenue for all of us, not a hierarchical order of winners getting cash and the others wasting their time.

That's why I'm hoping Adam Phillips joins up: rather than kicking my ass in the art department and taking away potential earning from me, his name will actually make the contest more popular and thus potentially get more people playing MY game :D

Or maybe I'm completely wrong - someone correct me if so. I don't wanna mislead anyone.

well... i think Tom said staff won't win money... so if the get first, the prize will go to the next place...
so, you still have plenty of 'points' to enter (yes, plural)

definitely.. the main idea is to participate and support childsplaycharity... =D

well someone should go and ask him
but is very rare he answer on Ng...
if someone is on his Forum at biteycastle.com he/she will have a lot more chance to get him

Or maybe I'm completely wrong - someone correct me if so. I don't wanna mislead anyone.

his name will... i don't know...
having such a great artist will make this contest sound like something very seriouly
and maybe some not so experimented artist will feel that the they don't fit, or they are not capable of 'that high'

To reiterate:

1) While you should have a natural desire to make a better game than the other teams, this isn't a traditional competition where one team wins. There isn't prize money.

2) In terms of money, the teams will be splitting their revenue from Flash Ads and from their view page on NG. They'll also be promoting their individual user pages.

3) We will work with the teams to distribute the games across the web, which will maximize your Flash Ad earnings, like ten to thirtyfold+ what you can get from appearing on NG alone.

4) Your games promote the Power of Three hub, which serves three purposes: to promote the other games on the list, to raise money for Child's Play, and hopefully to help spread the word about NG!

And when it's all over, at the least you'll have formed some lasting bonds and opened some new doors.

This is meant to be a culmination of how far NG has come over the years; the extremely talented community, the Flash Ads system, the ability to promote content and the ability to share revenue, whether amongst users or with charities.

you have a excellent point. But if Krinkels and Adam join then this will surely be something to write about.

I was about to post that, people, if this was a contest, we should already give up, rtil is joining, this is just to help charity, there's no competence here, actually, I have reasons to think the team will help each others a lot.

Also, my team is called "The Communist Rascals". Creative ain't it?

^ I'm talking about this page here ^

1) When you click the share this link below the submission and attempt to digg it, it takes you to the location for new entries instead of the one that already exists.

2) If you guys want more people to digg the submission, putting a link requesting people to do so in the Author's Comments with that lovely red admin text may garner more clicks.

There have been about 100 replies here, 100 diggs on the Digg for this movie, and 600+ unique reviews on the actual submission page. I was suggesting that to get more diggs, putting a direct link to the Digg page from submission page makes sense.

The only issues are:

1) You guys generally avoid administrative comments unless they are there to clear up an issue.
2) Links aren't generally allowed in the author's comment section, which makes sense because it usually helps avoid abusive links.
3) Linking away from the site like that could be a source of funneling traffic away from the site.

Was that more clear? I know I had a weird brain fart in my last message where I said something like "place admin"

Indeed. There are various sections of the site being re-worked at the moment, so part of this might already be taken care of in those changes. I don't think the solution to this is putting in an admin-approved link, though - there's got to be something in digg's setup to reference an existing entry, rather than re-inventing the wheel every time a link is sent to them. I'll look into it tomorrow.
