I'm quite new here, and don't follow this section of the forum much, but has anyone ever organized a system of weekly community challenges?  Something along the lines of "Here's a seed, start at this site, defeat a megabeast in one week without cutting down trees."

People can then post their victories or failures in the thread and the truly great DFers can be weeded out   
The weak who disappoint Armok (like myself) can then get a glimpse of good tactics and strategies .
I just thought that this might provide a good motivation to keep people playing and provide regular goal orientated play... it seems I spend more time reading about the game than playing it at the moment!

There was a challenge thread in which someone would post a challenge and the first person to beat it and provide proof would post a new challenge, but that died.

Another thread had a succession game with fairly undefined turns; person would post the save, and the first person to post a story about the completion of a megaproject with that save would be author of the cannon story for that part of the game.

I suggest a challenge: burn the world.

must be done on a particularly dangerous savage level map, either with elehants, unicorns, or skeletal elphants/whales.

GruffyBears agrees with these sentiments.
