Didn't see a thread for suggestions for upcoming months, so I thought I'd start one. You guys can kill this if there is one.

This may not go over well, but I'd like to see some non-military themes. Sci-fi, or superhero (lots of MU figures out there), or something like that.

If I wanted any of your opinions I'd give them to you!! :D

I thought we had a thread like this but I guess it was just discussed in passing on another thread. I do like the idea of a movie scene. I'd give a two month notice for that because it could be a tough one.

JoeDios has a "Weekend Warriors" thing where each weekend people are encouraged to post dios following a specific theme, for instance: Extreme Conditions, Men of the Sea, Leaders, Last Stand, Vehicles and Drivers, War Crimes, Crappy Figure Challenge, etc.

Maybe we could do something similar.

It's tough to get us organized that well. Doing this once a month usually only nets a few submissions. Hell, I had to dangle a damn Zombie in front of everyone to get more submissions!

It is something to consider while we are working with the forum formats.

Maybe one month could be replicating a famous photo with figures? Like Iwo Jima or something.

Sounds like a great idea to me. The battle of Iwo Jima did occur between Feb and March.

I noticed in the last contest and in the one shot thread we have alot of sniper pics being taken. how bout a sniper month. We had talked about a rotating banner. Maybe a one shot - one kill banner. 1 pic of the sniper, 1 pic of the SOB who got shot. rotate image at each page refresh?

That's basically handing a win to RED though haha

:goodone:---LOL How about something like a Bar room/Strip Club dio??? It could be something that doesnt show T&A but gives you enough info to know that this is a Strip Club or a Bar. Even in the world of 118, our fightin' men need some R&R.:proposetoast:---RED---

What about a House Wars banner theme? Anyone can take that kind of photo, but not just anyone can make a compelling one.

I would lose that with flying colors, mostly because I have no clue wtf a "House War" is.

Opticle illusions: No photoshop (best use of camera angles/tricks)
Hell on Earth
Fantisy (Heman/LOTR/fairy tales/etc)
Monster attack
Civilian

Super hereos/villians vs Soldiers
Holiday themes.

How about an advanced Photoshop theme that requires the picture to be a view looking through Night Vision goggles or other optics system - view from a UAV, UGV, vehicle optics, etc.

Problem with that is it requires people to have (and know how to use) Photoshop.. which will immediately disqualify a number of people.

We try to keep it as fair as possible for everyone.

Dude I'm disqualified most months due to lack of skill, but you don't hear me complaining :thumbsup:

Reenactment of famous scenes using figures? From a movie, show, anything really.

Nice, I like it. Can't wait to see the Clinton and Lewinsky recreation!

LOL you and me both.

Maybe a CGI 3D rendering only month.. haha

Or "Only owners of Tesla cars can enter month"
