Who wants to have a contest?

Premise:

So how do I enter the contest?
The point is to make a work based off of the Dial W for Werewolf RP we had a few weeks ago. In order to allow everyone to participate a work can be basically anything that is original and requires work and we can judge. It can be a work, a short story, a game, a text adventure, a video, whatever. If you want to do something completely bizarre just PM me and I'll tell you if it's okay or not.

Rules:

• It has to be original, made by you for this contest. That won't be hard considering it's a pretty specific subject matter.
• It has to be based off the RP. You can make it different from how it ends up, especially if it's more interactive, but you have to at least borrow stuff from the RP.
• It has to be mostly complete. If you can't finish it's okay, but it has to be playable/readable/understandable or it won't be judged.
• You have to be a member on MP to participate or do public voting, and you have to at least post in this topic to say you're participating. So if you're lurking you should register and participate, or if you know someone who might want to. If the contest is successful we'll do more in the future.
• All entries will be judged by two of the official judges and be open to public voting. If you're participating and you also do public voting for everyone and just give them low scores, I'll either get rid of your votes or your entry.

Judges:

• Monkeydog
• GlacierMage
• Vicious Parker
• Hyperlisk
• Lazlo
• And also public voting. A page will go up in the future.

Prizes:
Everybody loves prizes, right?

• 1st place: $50 Amazon/Steam Gift Card
• 2nd place: $25 Amazon Gift Card or $25 worth of Steam Games.
• 3rd place: $15 Amazon Gift Card or $15 worth of Steam Games.
• And two judge awards of $5 Amazon Gift Cards or $5 worth of Steam Games each. Which will be decided by the official judges.

Deadline:
April 15th.


So get to it. Glace will have some pages up for the contest on the site sometime this week. If this is successful we'll have more contests, with prizes similar to these. So participate, and get people to come here and participate.

Oh what a wonderful idea! Since I worked on the story and also have no discernible skills, can I be a judge?

Sure. I should have asked you first.

But after Lazlo we don't need any more judges so don't ask. <3

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, it's impossible to give less than $10 or $20 as a Steam card... I don't remember which it is, so you should try to look into that. But I know that $5 steam cards are impossible.

[Glaciermage]

This is a great idea and I'm hoping to finish something in time to participate. I'm curious how many entries we'll have.

I was thinking about that. Can you give 15~20?

Steam Gift Cards are dumb.


EDIT:
I updated the prizes to be less dumb.

And yes, please post if you're participating. I might participate depending on how much time I have.

This is my submission. Hope it goes through.

Basically I read the first rp post and thought, "how imposing is the butler...?" So I decided to make an all blue pen (all I have. Not an artist) depiction of the scene where everyone got brought to their rooms. Depicted from left to right, exempting the 30 foot tall butler, monkeydog and amethyst, bottomguy, hyperlisk (didn't know what it was. I googled and saw the word groin. So they are a groin.), glaciermage, Kamau (again didn't know what to draw, so they are a mini version of the butler I guess), lazlo, xteven (up top) and jody (down low), stars, and puffin. Also featured is a tumbleweed since no other staff was there.

Also first post. Helluva way to say hi!

Edit - I had so much fun, I decided to make a lineup of the starting cast akin to how they would look on a suspect line. I think its better than my original submission

I have to say, so far, legacy, you are the front runner in the contest.

[legacyme3]

Giggity. I knew I was a star.

[Xteven Xavier]

I'll try to post something. I have an Idea of what do do already

[Kamau]

I got an idea for something while on the train today. We'll see if I have time to do it justice. =)

[Weiss]

Cool.. I'll have to read the whole RP and stuff but i might have a crack at this... Not because prizes are available but perhaps to make sure that i don't randomly decide to be one of those users that posts once on a forum and then never talks again..

Good Luck Everyone!

[Stars]

This, sans the train.

[Monkeydog]

Good.

I was getting a little sad no one was going to participate.

[BottomGuy]

I have two ideas. Just need to figure out which one I can get done in the time frame and be satisfied with it.

[Kyle]

Am I allowed to use Photoshop?

[Monkeydog]

/>Am I allowed to use Photoshop?

If you're creating something original, yes.

[dhm]

I thought up an idea today as well. I think I'll have time to do it, too. :)

[Puffin]

I'mma do this.

[BottomGuy]

/>I'mma do this.

Aaaaand I lost.
