So quite a few of us are bawss at Technic/Tekkit.
I would like people to be able to offer semi organised challenges to prove it.
So someone submits a challenge thread for review by a moderator - it may look something like,
"I challenge you to build RedPower frame machine... that replicates itself"
The challenger would then set a few goals that can get you points for - for example
10 points - You got it working, well done you.
25 points - You have automated the production of all the resources for duplicates
50 points - You made the process exponential by having duplicate machines duplicate themselves
These points gained by approved threads (up to a max of 50 or any other value) will appear under a users short profile in posts (perhaps only in the challenge forum if you're worried about bragging being a problem)
Only if the challenge issuer sees enough proof to assign them, though. The winners of points will be put by that challenge author in the original post, and once the time limit of the challenge is up, the thread is locked, and the moderator that locks it also issues points to winners.
So how does that sound? Too much like hard work? Or a true outlet for imagination?
