The First HoS List Challenge

[Venocara]

Thank you all for your patience. The poll is now up. When it has concluded, it will be replaced with a short poll on the length of future contests, but in the meantime feel free to use this thread to suggest potential themes for the next challenge.

How about something revolving around 1956? That was a pretty eventful year-Suez,the Hungarian Revolution,the election of Habib Bourguiba etc.

That or 1979,that was a pretty eventful year as well.

 

[SenatorChickpea]

Maybe a broader theme, rather than a year? Perhaps a phrase that suggests a particular year but could be taken more abstractly?


'Summer of Love,' 'Cultural Revolution,' 'Springtime of Nations,' that sort of thing.

Ohhhh,that’s good. Really good.

Great idea.

Congratulations to @The Red and @Mumby who share first place in this first challenge!

Would it be possible for a mod to delete the poll currently on this thread so I can create another one?

 

[Japhy]

Seems like a tie is a fine way to end..congrats to both of you guys.

Might it be worth sharing that the poll is up for the next one (when it is) in the proper list thread? It strikes me that there’s a lot of people there who’d be interested in this sort of thing who might not know about it!

Thanks for your votes everybody, congratulations to @The Red, and wow what a start to what I hope becomes a lengthy SLP tradition!

It might be easier just to create a fresh thread for 'The Second HoS List Challenge'

Thanks guys and congratulations Bob! I agree that this was a fine start to what will hopefully become a fun staple of the forum.

I intended to but I wanted to do polls for contest length and the next theme as well.

Voting on themes seems like a bit much. I'd say take suggestions from winners and just post your own ideas. The key thing I think is regularity in getting the next one going like the Vignettes do.

Yeah, for timeliness' sake, we'll need the parameters for a new challenge by the 5th of this month - which isn't really long enough to put together a poll and vote on it.

 

[SenatorChickpea]

I concur.

This is your project, @Venocara, and we trust you to run it. Next time you could always PM the winners and ask if they have any suggestions for the theme, but right now the important thing is just to get a pattern of promptly posted challenges.
