[quote]Edit 4/15: I'm going to start looking through the exotics while watching RvB. I'm starting from 3/29 to now. You can still post exotics for the competition but only up into 4/18. Edit 4/8: Great job with the exotics guys. I am reading posts in case people are wondering. If you are participating in the contest, please say which them you are doing. I love these references that you guys are making. I was laughing at the Monty python ones especially. If your having trouble with ideas, here are some games you may find inspiration on: pac man, mega man, [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] zombies, skyrim. For the movies, just think of some of your favorites: Scarface, marvel movies, Star Trek/Star Wars/LOTR. Edit 3/29: I'm doing a new competition for exotics. This time I'm going to be a bit more specific by adding a theme. I'll always do two separate themes so that everyone can participate. I'll also lay out a criteria for the way I'm going to be selecting them. Since I'm more specific with the theme, I'll give a bit more time. The due date will be between 4/15 to 4/18. Theme 1-Movie references Someone on this forum, (you know who you are), made an exotic that ties into Terminator. It was a really cool idea. What I'm saying is for you guys to make exotics that are references to some of your favorite movies. As far as what I'm going to choose, try and make it somewhat realistic. I'll try and let you know. Theme 2-Nostalgia Gear Think of the games you used to play. Try and see if you can make destiny versions of there gear. You can do games like gears of war, halo, mass effect, or any other games you can think of. Exotic List [spoiler]Edit 3/24: I'm sorry that it took a while but I've compiled a list exotics that I believe should win. The exotics I look through go from today all the back to the beginning of this competition which was in 3/2. Please note that there are still several exotics before this. I have several exotics on this list and I still need to break it down to 10 for weapons and armor. You won't believe just how many weapons there were. I managed to make a link but it's too big to be in a new thread. Here it is if your interested. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CjnqpY5AhephV0GihorUyxY38RxfmTb_Sz0tJSfyWQY/edit?usp=sharing I also included the names of all the creators.
