Okay, but what are the prizes and who are the judges?

I'm not participating if there's only one judge.

Moderators will be judges. We will talk about prizes via #thewonderlandseries IRC.

The first prize will be a free walking trip to Farawayistan. What the second and third prizes will be is not quite sure yet, but they will also be great! :lol:

Alright, then what are they going to be? People are going to remain skeptical if you don't explain any further.

Also, prohibiting people from joining just for having a certain version of Game Maker is rather cruel in my eyes - not everyone has the money to buy it. At the very least, include a separate category for GMLite, maybe?

I agree on this (even though I already have GM7 Pro :P ).
---
This seems rather fun and I might compete in making a game or 8-Bit music (using a secret program of awesomeness). :twisted:

However:
1. Even though it's all about having fun and winning, it would still be nice to tell the prizes to encourage more people to join and try their best.
2. I agree with ~xpr'd~, there should be at least 2 or 3 judges.

I agree with almost all of you.

If you don't tell anyone what the prizes are, what if someone does their best and then all they win is a moldy pancake or something? Nobody will want to join when they don't know what the reward is.

Plus, you really should add a place for people with GML because some people (like me) really can't afford those few extra dollars to buy GMP.

Okay, take out the 'no GML games' thingy, I'm still thinking about the prizes.

One of the prizes might be my IWBTBB game!

Due to my incredible, one-of-a-kind ability to be naive in almost every situation, my best guess of what this is would be...

I Wanna Be the Billy Bob. *hides* *shot anyway*

IWBTBB = I Wanna Be The Blue Bomber

No offense, but if the reward is choppily made Game Maker games, I'm not going to participate.

No. It's a great idea, the way you set it up was bad.
