**Moved to Discussion because apparently everyone has the Language section on his/her ignore list. Still stickied because I forgot to unsticky it in the Language section, if you want to unsticky this, go ahead.**
English allowed in this thread (obviously). Also check out the Suggestions thread so we can get to know why no one bloody posts in this section. We really want to make this section active, so please help us achieve this.
Yes, you heard me.
In order to encourage people to contribute to this (unfortunately) inactive section, Frank and me sat down (aka opened Steam chat window) and thought of something.
"A contest!"
"A good contest!"
"With prizes!"
That's the plan. We further developed it, and eventually, we got the idea.
Before I go on with the idea and, obviously, the prizes, I'd like to clarify that this has been discussed completely with coolz and it's all set. We have people to make everything possible and coolz is willing to integrate prizes to the servers.
BUT, be aware that prizes are subject to change - if you don't like what we offer, simply say something else! Don't be ridiculous though. We got green light on special props (like the trophies, but other things are possible). If you want a special rank, say it anyway - we can (and will) discuss it with coolz.
For any other questions, feel free to contact Frank or me.
Let's get this going.
THE CONTESTIt's about writing a short overview of basic words and explaining some grammar/other important things in your language. You can use either the
Brazilian Portuguese Guide by Cesar or the
German - English thread by Krasher & moi as a reference. We're looking for things as long as these two. Please don't use translators for this - we'll know.
WHY WOULD I CARE?Well well, since we knew that people don't like to work without rewards, we thought of something. You WILL be rewarded for making good guides, and best of all, the prize is
mostly your choice (with limits, obviously)! If you hate our prizes, simply say it! We won't buttrape you. At least I won't.
Basically, what this is about - get working for one hour and write something in your language, then claim a prize for it.
Obviously, the better your guide, the more we'll try to convince coolz to give you your custom prize. Length should be AT LEAST as long as Cesar's or the German guide. Don't just write ten words.HOW DO I ENTER?Simply write the guide, then open a new topic with the guide in it. We'll take a look at it and see whether it's good enough to be worthy of a prize or not. Your time won't be wasted, I promise.
WHAT ARE DEM PRIZES?Glad you ask.
To be honest, we don't have much as of now. As I said, SUGGEST PRIZES! WE'RE OPEN FOR THEM AND APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH IT!
As for now, the only prize we offer by default is a trophy with your name on it/another prop with your name on it.
How the trophies look like?
Remember the Snow Trophies? Something similar to this, but with YOUR name on it! Obviously, they will be integrated in Wire (and maybe Plain), so you can laugh at everyone that didn't contribute to this.
This is the only thing we discussed with coolz so far and got green light for, but we'll talk with him about your suggestions. Yes, I have to keep repeating this.
Other prizes I got in my mind (not yet discussed with Frank or coolz or anyone else):
Special Ranks - Might be of your choice, might not be. But it would be cool to have custom ranks for contributers.
Special Player Models - I don't think it's going to work out, but it would be great to let contributers have custom Player Models of their choice.
Reserved slots - Doubt that it's an option, and would only be for people that contribute HUGELY - something truly special, long, tl;dr, whatever. Might not be possible at all, don't get your hopes up.
Temp-receiving of ranks - Note that I am NOT implying you'll get Temp Admin, but I'd think that temp-VIP would be a possibility. Obviously needs to be discussed with coolz since it's quite a big thing. Only for big contributers as well.
Other bonuses - Such as money on flood, props on Wire, snowballz. Needs to be discussed.
Your suggestion here - your comment here
WTF THESE PRIZES FUCKING SUCKI thought you would say that. I know that it went through your mind.
Please, feel free to use this form (or just freely post it) to suggest other ideas per PM, over Steam, in this topic, or anywhere else.

This is mainly a small informational thread to let you all know what's coming up soon.
As soon as
Peetah we get moving and do the default prizes and can provide some content, I'll further improve this topic, add pictures, add ideas.
This thread is also for any suggestions, critics, and feedback you might have.
And it would be nice if we could know if you're going to contribute or not. Simply post in this topic with anything that comes to your mind, but PLEASE - keep this topic clean of spam. It's serious business.
