No, I won't accept any copyrighted type of game as a type. =)

Myself, I'd be partial to a Month of Strategy Games... i.e. real-time or turn-based empire building games, and stuff of the sort.

I second the strategy game idea I would like to see a AOE type of game I have been a bit to busy working on my other projects to work on "Kingdom of Darkness" which is one of my lesser known game which is building up to having similer game play to AOE.

I agree, AOE would be a good game on here, and I think that Spuzzum's idea is a good one :)

I thought it'd be fun to have a little Halloween game contest, only when I first thought of a Halloween game it was already October, I was in the middle of another project, and I know it'd take me a couple months to put out anything decent anyway. Maybe now would be a good time to get started on a Christmas-themed game.

Hmmm... Tanks: Halloween edition and Tanks: Christmas edition? Would those count? :)

There was a disscussion a while back on making holiday themed game and a idea was brought up about making a game where you can go out in a costume and trick or treat,or you could stay at a house and hand out candy. The costumes would be picked by the user and if you wanted yo sell candy you would have to buy the kind you wanted with a set amount
of money from the candy store. Does anyone else remember this idea being brought up? I was still a newbie when it was,I believe it was brought up in the forth of July posts.

I have a strategy game to propose to the DDT, and if we did such a month (and if they like the idea!), I'd use it to try and get an Alpha done much faster than we usually get our games to Alpha!

Or possibly Game of the Month

Such as, a box pops up in dream seeker at the end of the month, that allows you to draft, and vote for games you think were the most played and favored game of that month.

**Possibly seperate categories**

Also on that same note, possibly a Gamer/Coder of the month, which may be rewarded with A Trophie near their name in identity, or near their game.

I like your idea of gaming stand offs, but i think this would be a good effect too. Most places have [person] of the month. Such as work places, schools, and some other public places.
