Let me guess....

People in the UK won't be able to enter?
Of course they can. Members from the UK have received quite a few medals over the past 2 E Games.

How about a "Best Event Suggestion" event?

Maybe a joke contest? Machinima contest? Miss/Mr Escapist beauty contest?

Well I like the Badge and Avatar contest ideas.

maybe some carnival favourites like guess the name of the Bear, count the marbles in the jar, bottle tombola, umm... Hook-a-Duck? I've got nothing.

I wasn't planning on participating in this years games, only spectating, but I may reconsider if it means I get to watch you eat some dust. :)

Hey you have to compete!? I wont have the title bearer retire before I can knock him out :p You have a duty, if I recall you were THE medalist last year. *check* Yep you took 10 freaking medals last year. Your like obligated to take part to defend, I dont wanna win by default :p

Might be a little corny not sure very tired but....

Scavenger Hunt/Paper Trail

Have a list of things that need to be found throughout the Escapist website, they could be hidden in pictures/articles you name it, I am sure you can squeeze them in.
They could just be a master list or you could start with one item and then have it (or something nearby on the website) be a clue to another thing to find.

Might also get people to look at content they might otherwise not have looked at yet. Spread the love!

You could even spread it out over the two weeks so that people only have to find one or two things a day.

Might be a bit of work on your end though.

Then at the end whoever sends the "answer" in first is the winner.
I actually really like that idea and second it. Some sort of ARG would be a lot of fun.

I look forward to giving myself carpal tunnel again in the Flash Game Playoffs. =\

Someone (a mod, or whatever) writes a headline about a fake news event, then people write up a full article based on that. After a day or so, people vote on the ones already submitted, and they get to pick the next headline.

I dunno, that actually sounds more like a forum game, I vote for the scavenger hunt and picture contest.

Similar to the Haiku contest, how about a Limerick contest?
Complete with classic Limerick rules of course.

Or an easteregg hunt, five "eggs" hidden somewhere in an article, a quiz description, the FAQ... wherever.

Yay! I'm so excited for the E-Games. I still wear my Haiku Gold from last year, I need to defend my title!

What about a Genre Wars Tournament? That part of the site sure has gotten dusty lately, it could probably use a revival.

So, the Summer E Games arrives once more! This time things shall be different, oh yes they shall...

[sup]I'm gonna frakkin' own you yellow-bellies! Just you wait![/sup]

As for ideas, I do like the Short Story contest that Jack&Calumon came up. Dunno what it could be about though, maybe a limit of 1000-2000 words on something game related? Pretty vague, but I like the idea of having a contest that I would have some potential to win :p

Maybe a short film contest? Though it may be on too short of notice to make some, Machinima, Live Action, or Animation could count, maybe about 5 or so minutes long. Hell, I already got an idea brewing in my head if this idea is approved :D

The Escapist could set up some servers over Steam and hold a larger than usual game of HL2 Deathmatch. There is a scoring system on Steam so we can tell who wins, and I'm certain many Escapists will want to be involved. Depending on how good we are, the tourney could take a long time. It could be set it up in several different blocks, where the winners move on etc.

too add to your medal collection no doubt, HSIAMetalKing. ;)

Not sure about HL2, or rather the only problem I see with online multiplayers is System Specs of users and Ping difference.

I do like the T-shirt comp though. got a few in mind.
