Welcome everyone!
Once again, thank you all for making this possible. I can't tell you how excited I am to see so much interest and enthusiasm - I have a really good feeling that this event will be able to bring everyone together as a great kickoff to summer!
With that said, for the next week or so, the players in the competition can use this thread to talk about challenge ideas and give each other feedback so we can come to an agreement and vote on the top 7 challenges we all like by the start of the competition!
So it doesn't disappear or get swallowed in a sea of posts - here's the guidelines once more for how to create a House Cup challenge from the Announcement Thread
Guidelines for Creating House Cup Imagineering Challenges
1 - Think as a contestant: Basically think as yourself, what projects would you like to do in this competition?
2 - Think about timelines and teamwork: You want your challenge idea to fit into a 7-9 day window of time...something that is feasible to do in that time period. You also have to think about what would benefit a team the most? What would make it less stressful on you and give everyone the opportunity to contribute?
(I used this analogy on the podcast) For example: You probably wouldn't want a team of upwards of 6 people working on a hot dog stand, or something as simple as that, for a week. However, you also wouldn't want to design an entire resort with multiple theme parks, etc in a week either.
Basically - try not to undershoot or overshoot the timeline, and keep in the back of your mind...in a few weeks when you're in your teams, what type of challenges would be most beneficial and accessible to a team of armchair-imagineers.
3 - When I post the Challenge Discussion Thread tomorrow I'm going to tag everyone who's signed up so far so we can spit-ball ideas. What will happen is for the next week or so (until TSI is over) we can talk about, edit, create challenges together, and then we put them all up for a vote, and everyone votes for their top 7 challenges.
The top 7 challenges will then be put into the Gringotts Vault and the games will begin with the sorting hat ceremony!
Here's also a link if you ever wanted to go back to the Announcement Thread:
