I have consulted with Andrej and effective immediately I will be acting as Co-Leader 2018. Don't expect major changes, I will just ensure that people don't spam and argue in the contest threads and take it to PM instead. The biggest change will be a strict layout that each new host will have to use for the contest threads. I will PM this layout each week to the winner. We will start using this layout with MOTW #120 and onward. I have chosen this system to give MOTW a more professional and consistent look. Something like (but not limited to) this: MOTW #1, MOTW #2. Any complaints, suggestions or questions can be PMed to me. 👍 Nice. One small issue I have is that the template of MOTW #1 and #2 is a bit hard on the eyes. There's no spaces and no colors. Of course, these aren't necessary but they help split the thread into parts (Theme > Description > Rules > Participants > Deadline) Link to post Share on other sites

Target13 2,146 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) @omigawail MOTW #1 & #2 were just to provide an example of a consistent layout under different hosts. The new layout will be designed to fit well with the new GTAForums and will also include space for any examples (e.g. movies trailers) that the host would like to provide. In other words, we aren't going to use the same layout from MOTW #1 or #2 but rather an adjusted one. EDIT: Also in fairness to MOTW #1 and #2, their layout was designed around the previous version of GTAForums and were good for that period of time.

omigawail 750 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Yes, that makes more sense. Keep the layout but change the design to fit the current version of the forums. Link to post Share on other sites

omigawail 750 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) That seems nice enough, it's neat and organized. It's also better if we always use GMT since it's universal. Edited September 3, 2018 by omigawail 1 Link to post Share on other sites

omigawail 750 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Unfortunate, these forums are very active and everyone is designing missions steadily. However 1 week is not always enough, some people prefer a slower pace at designing and the lack of time stops from participating. Link to post Share on other sites
Target13 2,146 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It is unfortunate, especially after the unexpected boom of MOTW #122. Anyway, the precedent for contests without entries is for the Leader or Co-Leader to host a new contest without a theme. This is now the case with MOTW #125. Hopefully the lack of a theme will bring out some activity. Those who wanted to participate in MOTW #124, can still do so with same mission in #125 since there is no theme. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Killer_Queen_37 148 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Damn, the table is still a mess. A suggestion for the table: you may use an image, or you may also use an outside source and put a hyperlink. Link to post Share on other sites

omigawail 750 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 #go back to, revise, and revamp the 100th installment of the weekly contest in which participants design a mission (exclusively using the tool fittingly named "DYOM", standing for Design Your Own Mission) to win the contest by acquiring the most votes and thus hosting the next installment (in this case, the 101st installment). 4 Link to post Share on other sites
