Heroes 6 Team Competition
Okay...as you know, I LOVE contests 
The faction creating contests have, by now, became completely inactive for some weeks. Mainly, some of us are advancing slowly but steadily in their heroes versions (or spin offs ), and there are someday or other discussions about more general gameplay things.
But, with H6 rising slowly on the horizon, I though tit may be a good idea to open a contest once again. and this would be a contest bigger than those before (yes, even than ICTC ).
The idea is the following.
We form a few teams (I'd suggest a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 contestants per team, and of course at LEAST 2, but better 3 or more teams). For the forming of the teams, I'D suggest random teams, this woudl probably be the fairest solution.
Then, each team will, together, create THEIR OWN HOMM6! How they do it in the team is up to them. The teams have a long period of time for that (I'd suggest 3 month at minimum) and expect of that, it's nearly completely open what they do (general gameplay, factions, creatures, setting, etc.) and how they do it (each team member has a resort/everone works at everything/whatever you could think of)
Afterwards, the teams are judged by a poll or several neutral judges.
What do you say guys?
...I, of course, would like to be a participant

Yeah, sounds like a nice idea. Also sounds like something I'd want to be a part of. My creative urge has been underindulged for some time.
Maybe you should sharpen the rules already stated, to give it some clearer boundries. Otherwise, it's sounds verry good.

Hmm...this may be quite the most obvious yet unapproached contest. I will offer myself to the best team of whoever wants my skills...

I'd be quite interested in this. I'm fairly good at storytelling and got quite a few ideas to offer.

I'm not much of a storyteller, I prefer working with mechanics (game mechanics, race mechanics, creature abilities, whatever).

XD I knew that would happen:
I am good at this/ bad at this...
...that's why I suggested random teams. And we do not necessarily need resorts as I said...a co-worked lore would be just as nice, I guess
Btw, I guess I'm good at lore/background, quite experienced in creature-making by now (abilities, descriptions and background; I'm weak in stats) and faction-making as well. My weakest spots are probably balance, finding reasonable borders and working out game mechanics in detail (I've got rather good ideas there (imo) but I hardly ever finish one of them)
Anyway, before the final teams are formed, I suggest at least 1-2 weeks of time for anyone with interest to "sign in". Than 1 more week to form the teams.
For the rules: I don't know wether I made clear that the setting, obviously, is completely free. Ashan, one of the old settings, or a completely new world (or a "stolen" setting even), everything is possible.
Which brigns me to the point: someone here said, there should be sharper rules. Do you all think so? If not, I'D not change this because this is not because creating a specific H6 someone foreshapes. It's about working as a team, and creating the HoMM6 the team likes...and then we'll see which version is most liked.
EDIT:
In the first post I'll write who's signed in and (later) the teams. I'll take all of you as signed in.
2nd EDIT:
If we do NOT make random teams, additional to abilities, preferences could be interesting. perhaps every participant could answer in this thread: BAsic Questions on how you want H6
Then the others could see what their maybe-co-members really want...or it oculd come to problems later on, like this (assuming we all are childish):
"Hey look at this, I've made tis great system for heroes fighting in a battle."
"I don'T want heroes to fihgt ina batlle, that's not traditional HoMM style and it's pretty untrealistic for them being so strong."
"THey are heroes, after all!!! THey should be able to fight for themselves!"
...
"I don't want it!!!"
"I want it!!!"
"I'm gonna leave this tema it ****!"
"Go away *****"
---
and we don'T wanna let it come so far, do we?
Yet, of course, that's also why I prefer random teams, because you're forced to work with different opinion, probably, and I assume NOW that we're not that childish!

Well I've got a lot of my own (often pretty revolutionary) ideas about how the game should go, but I'll do my best to keep them to myself and work to the common good.

wait till you're in a team, perhaps your teammates will like your ideas. It's not about the common good here. Each team shall make THEIR heroes...I'll try to get my ideas through, too (at least a bit)

Conscerning abilities, my strenghts lie mainly in lore. Meaning thinking up creatures, their backgrounds and the way they fit into the faction and world.; Heroes and their backgrounds, Factions and their setting, characteristics and history. I can think of a role a creature can fit into and abilities they might have, but I completely SUCK at statistics and balance; and mechanics for that matter.
I must say that my strength is also one of my weaknesses. I really really really like things to make sense and be explainable. I can be quite stubborn about that. I hate it when people say things like: "It's a game with magic, who cares about logic." or "'Creature x' can do/be because of magic."
A good example is the use of animals as units. I do not like to just use an animal without being able to explain how this animal is able to act independant on a battlefield. If I cannot explain how this is possible, I prefer to either use this creature as a mount or be guided by a handler, or as a last resort not use said animal all together.
It is only fair to warn you guys, because I can and probably will give you a hard time with this kind of issues.

My Strength is definitely Creatures and Factions. And More Critters! I am more of a Good Leader then a Follower though, Jiriki9.

I suggest team leaders.
I think it might be better to let that happen naturally. I know we're no five-year-olds, but making someone leader will either let some people down, or you will simply make the mistake of appointing the wrong person.
Personally, I would not like to be a leader, as long as I get my fair share in things.

I'll sign up. I know I haven't been around in the HoM&M boards and posted anything about my ideas, but I've spent many restless nights thinking about HoM&M6.
Most of my ideas so far would have been about streamlining the game and making it more accessible. I'm not interested in merely creating a new roster of towns and some tacked on new features. Less is more and I'd alter, replace or repair the old rather than pile up more stuff around it.
Working with numbers is absolutely not my thing.

I personally like judging. So if we can get a panel of judges together, then maybe certain aspects of the entries could be judged separately. If not, then I can participate. Up to you Jiriki.

I am getting more phsyched as time passes. I would like to start with this ASAP. I've been forming ideas and stories in my head.
Has it been decided how the teams will be formed? How long will we wait for more contestants? Like I said I want to start with this.

You can count me in, for now at least.
I will be without internet for two weeks in september, but since there is a lot of time to do this, it can't be a problem I guess.
I have some ideas too, but they need some work.
