A SC contest for it might be a good idea, only problem i have with it is that original starcraft is very mechanical, (You mass this to beat this and so on.) So maybe a game that actually requires you to have a tactical mind might be better. Plus it doesnt really display the level of thinking needed for 2.
That being said I want it known I actually dont want either of the beta keys, (I have the broken SC2 beta so Im set enough until release.)
I just dont like being left outta the discussion
Also a tourney would be a good idea. But! i dont know but how long is the starcraft beta? how will it be monitored? will it be monitored? how will it be recorded...
All questions that require some time to answer and all of which means time ticked off the beta. I say you just lotto them off to the regulars. Fair, fast, that way those that want to be active in the beta can be as quickly as possible.
OR on the alternative, give them to the two most dedicated of the clan, display the fact that the clan honors those that contribute the most. show that the clan rewards contributions with more then praise.
