By the way I'm not a gaia fan anymore, I moved on to bigger, better things.

Also, I would like to do this. Perhaps you could make it a YouTube series, use ooVoo and get people to share their screens so you can see what they're doing. Or even just a voice call. That way other users may be inspired seeing these users do it.

Please include a highly unfair and obscure judge in your contests! Or whatever...

What you should do, is attempt and time the challenge yourself, round it the closest 5 minutes then add an extra 5 minutes on top for the time limit.

Actually, I believe that it can turn into something pretty interesting. May I be some kind of... dunno, monster, guide, checkpoint or whatever ): *inb4someonereplacesmewithascriptHERP*

Also, it reminds me of Runescape Rune Factor [insert number 1 - 3 here] (youtube video).

Can we reuse old code? When? Where? How? We would need more planning.

We need a studio.

Who's what? Who's the instructor? The cameraman/multiple cameramen?
Theme of challenges? How to get the interest of the viewers.

@Quenty, I don't quite think we'll be able to stop reuse of old code... There's a lot of stuff you can do to give yourself some kind of advantage. (Even with screensharing, you can... use a plugin / other computer to get premade code?)

Pre made code won't give huge help, especially when challenge is very original, since you'd have to try and find fitting pre made code.

Yeah, that's true.

Also, who are we reaching out for? Who is the viewer? Dominant: Scripting? Building? Mixed? Switching?


And how would we appeal users to join this? I'd like there to be some sort of prize, even though Roblox might not allow it. :/


- As, scoreboards, live videos, camera, light, action!

The reason I'd like to know, is because I have about 10,000 lines of code in libraries that definitely are applicably to stuff.

For example, if I was told to make a\self-building house or something, I would use my CFrame library to animate it, and a free model house.

Furthermore, can we use plugins? We need more rules, although, I'm all for using previous code and plugins.
