    Yes. Since we now have PSTN, FRME and CRAY, I think we need a contest. These elements are very suitable for engines, so that will be our subject. This contest has easy basic idea, you create a nice engine in TPT, and I will rate it. Then the hard parts, it has to be a V-4 type engine. (Two pairs of cylinders next to each other.) The engine must run on DESL, and can't use any type of clone (BTRY is allowed). Also portals are denied. And of course you have to use at least 2 of these new elements, PSTN, FRME and CRAY in important way for the functioning of your engine.


    Let's list the features for clarity:



    - V-4 engine

    - DESL as fuel

    - No any clones

    - No DMND

    - Must use at least two of of PSTN, FRME and CRAY.



    Engines will be rated by:



    - Efficiency (How much fuel it uses compared to the amount of smoke from the exhaust pipe.)

    - Simpleness. (How easy it's to use.)

    - Technology. (Is there something new and outstanding technology in your engine.)

    - Outlook. (How cool it looks. This will be done with decoration turned off. Not everyone can be artists.)

    - Votes. (Which engine has the most amount of votes. Everyone can affect!)



    You can submit as many engines as you want.

    The submitting time ends 23. day this month.

    I may take a stab at this.

    can you mix DESL with other fuels?

    I didn't think that, but yes. As long as you have more than 50% DESL.

    23rd? That means I can't enter! I can't get on TPT until 24th!

    Why? I can anyways increase the time limit with a week, if people can't finish their engines.

    Yes, it's very nice, but it doesn't meet the requirements. Any decent engine maker could do that, I seek for something more advanced with the V.8 engine using PSTN.
