What if the scratch team set up a random scripting challenge every week (or month or so) for us? What I mean is, there would be a thread in the forums that would say something like "Weekly challenge!" or something, and then in the description area it would explain what we would have to do. When we were finished our entry for the challenge, we would post that entry's link in a comment in that thread! Here is an example post that a member of the scratch team would post;
==This week's challenge!: ==
Devise a script that allows a player to be temporarily invulnerable to all enemy attacks after being attacked by said enemy! Your script must be play-able, so test it until it's as good as you want it. Good luck!
==Last week's winner!:==

I think this would be very helpful to scratcher's trying to get recognized for their skills! If you support this idea, post "support" in a comment on this thread!

Support. But I don't get your example
I added some more wording to the post to make the example clearer. Read it once more, and if you still don't understand, let me know and I'll keep revising to make it clearer (:

well that's why I said "(or month or so)". I'm sure the scratch team would revise my idea to make it fit the website's/scratcher's needs, as I would expect them to if they accept my suggestion. This is just the basic idea for what it could be (:

Neat idea but isn't this sort of what SDS is...?

I support! It would be great for new game ideas! And when they announce the winner, they can provide a link to the project that uses their script.

I think the challenge should be monthly.
The Scratch Team might have a large job of sorting through entries.
Well the idea is here in this post, The scratch team can re-design the idea however they choose. I'm just laying out the basic blueprints. Do you support? (:

How many supporters do I need for this plan to carry through? XD
It doesn't matter how many you have, though it's good to see a lot of support if you want it carried out. The ST have to decide that they want to do that.
