Forum:20th Anniversary Wiki Event

So I was thinking, with the 20th Anniversary coming up at the end of this month, that the wiki could do a little outreach and get involved with the community. I know a bunch of groups are doing Twitch stuff right now, mostly sponsored by Blizzard, so I wanted to shoot the crap and see if there was something we could do to celebrate. Maybe a contest of sorts, maybe a tournament, just something that we can do to give back to the community. We're super well used given our metrics, but we also generally are one of the more insular parts of the community.

It's something I don't mind bankrolling, I have a ton of spare SC gear laying around I can use for prizes, new and unopened (like the pylon charger thing, a copy of the field manual, a Jim Raynor funko). I also don't mind putting it together and running it myself, so don't think agreeing to it means you have to get involved with it. Nothing huge but just something nice to throw around on the subreddit or maybe TL.

Some ideas I had:


 * A small armature SC tournament. It's something that'd probably get the biggest draw but something I don't think really fits the spirit of the wiki, which is more about the universe than the competitive aspects.


 * An art or writing contest. Considering Hawki's role in the SC writing community I feel this would be the best, also the most hands off as all we'd have to do is collect submissions and judge them. Still we'd have to get everything set up ASAP if you wanted to do that.


 * A trivia contest? Not sure how that'd work. Maybe as a stream or something. We'd have to limit the amount of people though.

I'm drawing a blank on more ideas. I'd like SOMETHING involving the story and universe over anything else since we are the one resource for that. But if anyone has any ideas, or if you think this is something we shouldn't be involved in, let me know. Keep in mind this is just all planning and musing at this point. --Subsourian (talk) 22:22, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
