Are there going to be any island contests? The thought of having one would bring a senses competition to the server. It would also distract those trouble makers from making trouble, if only for a while. Think about it! ^_^ With that said, Do you think a contest is a good idea?
Possibly a "Best Island" or Epic Island" contest. Something around that. Islands is fun and a learning experience for things like generating resources from nothing, but at some point it becomes a game of cores. This should give people something your do. Refresh then a bit.
I think so... there could be bi-weekly or month competitions for stuff like best looking island, or best looking shop, or best cobble gen / farm, and stuff like that. It would be mostly fair for everyone, because even though donors can get a lot of money, you can't buy building talent from /warp shop. :d
