[Munch's Master]

I'd think that with the forum events, Dino's suggestions where good. Contests could be an idea, the only danger would be that either there'd be rigging by certain mods, or the people who didn't win would feel picked on/ left out/ unliked/ whatever. But if we could do it without people whining about not winning, here's some ideas:

Bring back the Annual Forum Awards
Bring back the Oddlympics
Have fan-based contests, such as Most popular/liked/favourite FanFiction Oddworld or Non-Oddworld (I avoid saying 'Best' because again ,those who don't win ,may be disheartened)
and Favourite/tactful way of saying 'best' Fanart.

That's it for contest ideas. As for people with the skill to do a fan game, I knew a coupla guys who could do that, indeed we were planning and designing a fangame on another forum before it got ended by hacking. So I could try and regain contact with them, and bring them here for the game (Although this is where a non-Oddworld-only fangame would be better, as they aren't particularly into Oddworld).
