I'd definitely be in if we did it that way.

Oh wow, that's a pretty off the wall idea. I like it, but how does limiting it 45 seconds to one minute long?

I have tried this a few times and the response was terrible. I agave about 3-5 days the first time and got 4 entries. 2-3 of which actually took any effort. The next time about 1-2 weeks to do it and still only got maybe 6 entries.

If you can make it work great, ill certainly help if needed and participate at the very least.

edit: Saw Janzsoons post. Great idea. Although I would say a little longer but thats the right idea.

Maybe. Honestly, I think the shorter the better.

How about if we just say "under a minute"?

Under minute works for me. I'd love to see what comes of that

ThePhanastasio · 01-23-2012, 10:15 PM

I've been playing more lately; I'd probably be down.

Unrelenting · 01-23-2012, 10:20 PM

Allright so far we've got 6 people who've expressed interest. I'll leave this up for another day or so see if anyone else wants in, then I'll make the official thread

That sounds good. And forgive me for misspelling your name!

Had an idea regarding themes: maybe every week one of the participants would be assigned to choose a theme? Or come up with a list to vote on?

I like your first option. Whatever option makes things move fastest.

ThePhanastasio · 01-23-2012, 10:49 PM

Yeah - a poll would only slow things down.

Putting the names of participants in a randomizer to determine order or some such, then taking the first person and making them come up with a theme (then the second, and so on...) would be way quicker.
