I remember their being a thread called GOTW. It would give a character and a challenge, like start as Alfred of Wessex and have an heir become king of England. It was really interesting. What happened to it?
Search engine works.

It seems he was looking for somebody to keep it going, so...
I don't care about contests in general.
Regarding the thread, i guess it's just that CK2 is too easy and most potential contests can get done by most and if the contest is really hard, then cheaters are invited, and cheating is really easy.
Ck2 is not really a good and serious contest game....and it shouldn't be made one (just in case someone from above reads this).
Excellent suggestion. Instead of dumb competition. Lets all do the same "interesting challenge" and discuss afterwards and share their stories.
Sounds good to me.
Thumbs up.
edit:
Could be also simply characters from the stickied thread: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...hould-Play-As-Any-Particular-Character-in-CK2
Most of these are supposed to be challenging.
It could also be a tutorial for the new players among us. Keep the name Game of the Week, but make it a less competitive experience. Excellent idea. I will PM the relevant mod asking for permission to perform necromancy.
EDIT: scratch that, I'll start a new post. First game tomorrow.
