Minigame Competition #30, Extended about a week.

First off, congratulations to xn--e5x for winning the last Minigame Competition. And to the other entrants for their participation.

Anyway, rolling out of factual Edutainment and into seething Bias. Create a fangame protesting against any company you want. Could be McDonalds, Microsoft, hell, Nintendo if you wanted to (though that'd be awfully weird if you did it wholeheartedly).

We all know by now the Super Chick Sisters as a part of the Kentucky Fried Cruelty campaign. Well, now you can have the Super-Sized Heart Attack campaign, or the Plumbers Against Violent Video Games campaign.

Your reasons can be anything, but they musn't be too ludicrous. Protesting the local Circuit City for not having that computer you wanted is not a legit reason for protesting. What would be a better idea is for losing pre-orders, consistently damaged hardware, and turning back on garuntees. That's a more protest worthy idea.

For violent video games, it'll be a little hard, but I'm sure you can find reasons for a protest.

You get bonus points for finding actual, true reasons for a protest! Say McDonalds advertised 100% beef in a Big Mac. But they're really only 70%, and 30% pork. If this is so in real life, that's a great way to get more votes.

Now, this is NOT an Edutainment game. Therefore, it cannot be extremely linear, such as finding the right fact or taking quizzes. Try to make it a more traditional Mario game, like the Super Chick Sisters did. You could even include powerups if you wanted. If you want to make an RPG, you go ahead and do that. The entries are only limited by your imagination.

No fanmade playable characters, though. That's... not really Mario related anymore, is it?

Also, KFC has already been taken. So no KFC protest games, alright? Let the PETA have their fun.

So, let's review the rules.

- The game must protest a real-life company
- The protest must be for legit reasons, not too insane
- Reasons for protest can be fictional
- Finding true protest reasons is a great idea
- Must be styled like an actual Mario game
- Must have non-fanmade playable characters
- No KFC Protests

BOLDED FOR EMPHASIS: Also, if enough people hate the competition idea and want it to die or something, then have Hello make the next compo, cause this was my only idea.

You have until the end October 16th. Top 5 Voting will take place from the 17th to the end of the 20th. Final Voting takes place October 21st. The winner is decided October 22nd.

So, have fun. Also, please please PLEASE make sure you add that the game is in no way really trying to attack the company and that it's just for fun. The last thing you want is a company finding the game in a freak internet redirect and misunderstanding it.

Your wish has been granted, O Master.

And yes you can protest MFGG (fffff)

There have been a whole mess of fangames that protested something.

And the day is saved, thanks to Captain Obvious!

We don't care. What we care is that the minigame competition is about protesting so make protest games. We don't care how many protest games there are already.

protest joey

I need to think of something wrong with this place.

Somthing that's wrong with mfgg

pfft

there's only like a million of those

I was kidding.

I am SO entering. :soverycrappygames:

I'm entering this. This will be fun!

Hey, is it alright if Compo Creators can enter their own Compos?

Because now I wanna make one too.

yeah

Yeah but if you win runner-up chooses next comp.



Also I am having troubles coming up with ideas. Maybe I should sleep. :[

Off topic but HOLY **** WHENED YOUR NAME CHANGE

On topic: Mario boycotts school, as a young'n. In GB colors @_@

Remember, the claims must be reasonable. "School is boring" isn't going to cut it. And GB colors because of the Sprite Compo, right?

What's the matter with xn--e5x, btw?

Edit: Just checked the old voting topic.
'd be nice though to mention that in the first post.

I might enter.
*MIGHT*

Goomba protests against Sony because all of their products weren't working.

EDIT: Just thought of an awesome one!

xn--e5x is currently assembling a booth for the September 15th NCFC registration deadline and regrets that he will be too busy to properly manage a competition.
