The aim of this excercise is simple enough. Use tentacles in a new and innoventive way beyond the standard launch directly at target and maybe latch onto it. Also to try and avoid using them purely as inanimate eyecandy
Challenges:
You think of some.
Use movers to make the tentacle move in an innoventive way.
FInd ingame textures to make a tentacle of many good looking colours
etc..
Look just because the person who originally did it has vanished does not mean they will no longer continue. If the demand for them is so low then I will change then as soon as at least one entry is submitted.

Someone should remake the Sunken Colony and it's attack :P
Hey, I just want to throw in my opinion. I've been reading up on the past weekly challenges, and I really liked a lot of them, and wish I'd known about them at the time so I could've participated. However, the past few challenges have easily been far above my head, as I'm still trying to learn relatively basic things with the data editor, like site attachments and whatnot. However, I do still like the idea, as it can easily motivate creativity, and help give people ideas to continue to make maps. What if the challenges were more oriented as learning activities? Something that's somewhat challenging, but with basic-ish principles, so that people who don't quite know how to use everything in the data editor can go "hey, I want to try that too!" And maybe learn something in the process. Or possibly have a creative theme, and then have a 'basic' level challenge, and an 'expert' level challenge? Or maybe even, when you have it based on more advanced concepts, link some tutorials that will explain what they are, and how to use them.
Either way, I'm excited to find out what the next challenge will be.
Well I only am doing the challenges recently because the original mod seems to have died to vanished and I did not want the concept to disappear with him. As for tentacles, that is mostly a movers wde. I checked the thread about possible ideas and all but tentacles had been done. No one has even tried this one and I lack the time to think of easy ideas as I usually work on stuff that no one has tried before (eg. battery ability function, animating the inanimate, levelable items/symbiotic units etc.). As for most sources of inspiration like the rainbow archon, that has lost appeal to pro data editors as it is easy in hindsight.

ModeratorsConsidering there is even the missile impact model for the sunken colony in the campaign mods, it is hardly a challenge.

Still, I will try and think of something.

Also, the challenges don't have a time limit, so feel free to contribute to previous WDEs, if you want :)
