What you think of duels one on one?

Some random quick thoughts:

1. Set up brackets, like in college hoops, but draw names by random for the match-ups (out of a pool of those who volunteer to join in).

2. Start with a base sketch that has to be done up proper.

3. Start with one idea, like a town, or a castle, or something and best map wins.

4. Set limits as to size...like what can you do with a 500 x 500 pixel map?

5. Lite challenges are probably the best place as not too many would want to get bogged down for a full month in a duel only to have to do it again next month.

6. Generate something random, split it down the middle, each person gets one half.

7. Use that rpg city generator to make a city, then let each person try to devise a siege of that town...most plausible strategy wins (by popular vote).

Anyways, it's got some possibilities, as does the further idea of a co-operative map contest (like one person does one part and another person does another part) and teams are picked out of a hat.

I love the idea of two people starting with a base image, and especially if you give half to each contestant and see how the two join with different styles... Say for example, A would get 1 half of an island and B would get the other half to map.
