First things first. We need to agree on the ground works - the things all of our tasks should follow. Here?s my input.
The tasks should try and be fun and interesting, but without treating the competition like just a silly game. After all, the winner of this is going to be a staff member.
The tasks should be engaging and allow room for expansion by the participants. If we set out a word count limit, for example, that?s all anyone is going to do. It should be somewhat vague, but not to the point of people not knowing what they?re supposed to do.
We also need to decide how we?re going to eliminate people. This, again, should try to be as non-biased as possible.
As for our actual writing of the tasks, since we have 5 people and only 3 tasks, we?re going to have to work on them as a group. I don?t think we should separate them up and have say, 2 people work on 1, another 2 on the next and then 1 person on the last, etc, because that kinda goes against the point of being a group.
To start off, everyone just throw out all the ideas for tasks you can think of. Even if you think it?s shit, just get it out there. Just a basic description, it doesn?t have to be complex. Once we?ve got a nice selection of ideas, we can choose our favourite 3 and then expand upon them, working them into fully-fledged tasks.
Sound good?
