Monster design contest?

[toray]

Forgive my exuberant posting ths afternoon.. I just installed a new firewall layer on the corporate network this morning, and no one's called to complain that I've broken something by doing so.

How about running a contest whereby you allow players to submit designs for creatures / items / quests / whatever. We'd have to agree to waive all rights to the creature before entering it, of course, but I can't see any other problems with it... oh, except that you'd have to release stats and whichever special ability flags you've got that we can work with...

(thinking of submitting whole civilizations of creatures, complete with socio-political structures, religions, and so on...)

Hehe, take it easy there Toray, we have to finish the game first :). We've thought of this sort of thing before, and it's a good idea. We'll probably do something like this after release, or maybe late in beta when stats, etc are more ironed out.
