I am thinking of 20 dollars on steam for first place, 10 for second, and 5 for third.


What think?
It's an interesting idea in principle but not everyone uses Steam or wants to. Besides, I agree with Dilbert's mum that vouchers are the worst gift ever anyway, as they're money without the prime virtue of money - that you can do whatever you want with it.

Luckily, you can maximise the utility of the money while maintaining its level of irritation by making the prize in dogecoin.

I'm kind of going to agree with Sedron here. MaGL has pretty clearly been just for fun in the past, and a monetary prize could undermine that very easily. Not only would we have people entering and hoping for prizes rather than the spirit of the thing (y'know, fun) but there'd be a whole lot more justification for people to complain about placement, even though opinions will ultimately still be opinions, because now you're making those opinions determine who gets the money. It's just a big can of worms waiting to be opened.

If there was to be a prize for winning, it probably should be something non-consequential so there is no downside to not winning, like one of those signature award banner thingies that I'm bad at describing, or perhaps just various quality drawings of money based on the position you get.

or maybe the winner can win the joy of being the winner

In the past contests, the winner just got their name in a red font on the forums. Not as pretty as a banner, but similar in concept.

A monetary prize might work better with a smaller scale contest that's more for existing talkhausers.

Also, a question: are we having the contestants' avatars in the hub somewhere? If so, does it have to be your current avatar on talkhaus?

I personally figure its enough of a prize to have raocow play the levels. God that sounds so cheesy, but I do feel that way honestly.

I admit that that alone was my motivation for my six A2MT levels.

When would we start with creating our own Levels for MAGL X? I ask because I'm writing my last test for this University Semester on February 3rd and won't have time before that.

She's planning on starting the contest at the beginning of February.

Also while I'm posting anyway:

While that would definitely be the way to go if there's to be a gift card prize, I'd like to echo the sentiment that having an actual consequential thing to win undermines the no-stakes fun-times nature of the previous MaGLs. I'm aware that discussion mostly ceased already but I feel this is a matter of paramount importance to keep in mind before "officially declaring it a thing" or anything.

I didn't start my level for the last MaGLX until, like, a month in. Don't get too freaked out about it, I'm sure you'll be given enough time.

Also maybe today I'll finally send in that hub designer app?? who knows!!

I think I'll give magl a go, this time.

I already have plans for my level regardless of what the theme is
But i will not be ignoring the level theme entirely.... Well, depends on what it is
