I have an idea for a contest

[Roboross]

Just in case you didn't catch it.. the contest has started!
front and back and it doesn't have to be 3d, it can be 2d if you want.
The first day to vote will be tuesday, the 21st. And the boxes are due to me threw PM or aim on monday, the 20th at 11pm. As it states in the rules below.

I already have my games picked out for each round. In round 1, you'll chose from 3 different games. In round 2 you'll chose from 3 different games. In round 3 you'll be able to pick from two different games, and in round 4 you'll only have one choice.

(also, pm me if you have any suggestions or want to help xD)

Oh God, i love you.

[Ervo]

Cool. I'm definetly in.

[Ayron]

í'm not THAT confident of myself
but i'm in.
i'll just try my best again.

[Feed]

Be prepared, guys. >:)

[yoman44]

NOOOOO ! I want to be in but I can't :( I going to grand-parent's home. :(


Putain de merde j'suis trop dégouté sa race !

[Mad Spike]

Veteran Competition runs so slow, so... what the hell - I am in. I think I will find some time for two comps.

[Roboross]

Be prepared, guys. >:)

Good Job! Scared everybody off, haha.

[alldreamsfalldown]

Oooh ooh me me me please !!!

[TwilightMystics]

I think I'm in

[alldreamsfalldown]

aaaw crap all these guys are better than me.

[VGMaster]

Sounds fun. I've never been in a contest before.
I'm in.
I'm gonna get my butt kicked.

[Gunslinger]

This is a very cool idea. Take a specific genre and revolve a whole competition around it. Nice. I think i would have had fun with this type of contest. Unfortunately i'm not around the site much anymore due mainly to work along with the influx of egotistical asshats that take themselves way too seriously.

Again, very cool idea, though i imagine we'll see an abundant amount of boxes with an overuse of grunge brushes, blood splatters and blurry/difficult to read fonts. ;)

[Nerdysimmer]

The Other competition is sllllllllllloooooooooooowwwwwwww, so what the heck, i'm in!

[Moogle]

Sign me up please! xD

[Gunslinger]

Seeing as how his survival horror pieces are always well designed and are top notch, i would probably have lost.

Heh, I'm already booking my flights to Mexico. Then I'll change my name to PGMazta and hide under a rock. Either that or I'll just...



cry. Or maybe get a pizza.

1 of the 3 works.

[Feed]

No, plz, not october! That would take too much time to wait, also, school starts and many of you will not have enough time to make a good box, so lets start ASAP.

[VGMaster]

You do have a point. And I hear high school has a lot of homework...
Whatever's fine! So I want to change my vote to option number 3:
WHENEVER WORKS!

[Roboross]

Build a time-machine and travel to buddha and sell him to my mother.

[Ervo]

I hope this starts soon, because that other competition is pretty slow...

[Roboross]

I hope this starts soon, because that other competition is pretty slow...

Yeah there's only one spot left open..

[Ayron]

lmao random as hell

definetly.=]

[TwilightMystics]

I hope this starts soon, because that other competition is pretty slow...

Ehm it's going to be aired soon....I hope E_G is quickly with making the banners. I'm totally ready to post the next rounds, but the banners aren't finished.

[Ayron]

just post them!=.= make a banner yourself asap.
This is really taking to long,sorry to say.

[Roboross]

Ehm it's going to be aired soon....I hope E_G is quickly with making the banners. I'm totally ready to post the next rounds, but the banners aren't finished.

Alright if your starting yours up again soon i'll wait to start mine.

Here's what i'll do. I'm going to wait till wensday and if your hasn't started yet and i have that last spot filled, i'm starting mine..

[VGMaster]

Hey, 1up Mushroom wants to join but his acoint hasn't been activated yet (he's my dad). So can you fill him in on the list?

[Brettska99]

Okay since theres one spot left, i'll take it!

[VGMaster]

Hey Brettska99, read my post. He wants to join

[Roboross]

Okay since theres one spot left, i'll take it!

Brettska99, you're already in.

And 1up mushroom? alright i guess i'll enter him.

[E_G]

Ehm it's going to be aired soon....I hope E_G is quickly with making the banners. I'm totally ready to post the next rounds, but the banners aren't finished.
Well a few days ago I already implied to you on MSN that I won't be making the banners now, otherwise I would've done it days ago.

[Roboross]

Alright, i shuffled up the contestants.
It was at random so don't get mad :P

[Ratchetcomand]

I'm going against Mad Spike :confused:? What the hell? His boxarts are way to good and i have no chance against him.

[Roboross]

Ermm.. no you're not?

[Ratchetcomand]

Ermm.. no you're not?

Oh sorry, i miss read my name for someone else.

[E_G]

Roboross here's a friendly suggestion, don't pair up the competitors randomly otherwise it might end up being very unfair.

Also is this 1up Mushroom person even registered to the site? I think you should only accept registered users, and only those who have been here a while. For all we know, this 1up Mushroom guy could just end up being part of some kind of strategy for VGMaster and is just an alternate account. I'm not here to make accusations but the possibility exists. I don't think you should allow 1up mushroom into the comp.

Very good point.. now im going to have to hold the contest up. Damn..
And it wasn't completely random, i did a little organizing after.

haha im just going to ask, would you like to join EG?

[E_G]

I want to join but unfortunately I can't because I'm too busy. Thanks for asking though. :)

[IceFox]

I suggest October. It would fit better for the theme which will defintly make the contest more fun.

If you go for this month, then maybe do another one this October? Or perhaps a holiday one in November/December?

Holiday contests are always fun :)

[Roboross]

Alright, i thought it was worth a try haha.

Well im continuing the contest, but with only 15 contestants...

I promise he's my dad. How can I prove it? Do you want a pic, email address, website? Plus I am a strong christian and would not lie! Is there any way to get registered easier???

[Roboross]

If he's registered and you have some kind of proof that i'll except by tomorrow night, i'll let him enter.

What I want is a person to be privileged for a chance to be in a forum competition who have actually registered, rather than someone who hasn't and have not yet proved what they're capable of. Also it's not easy to have a balanced and fair contest when someone is involved that hasn't even made their own boxes yet.

Roboross sorry to hijack your thread. :p

[Ladykiller]

I hope I'm not too late to join, but if I am, that's fine. I think it would be better if it was in October though, being haloween and all

[Roboross]

nope, not at all. You're in :D

It's okay, haha. I really don't mind.

[Ladykiller]

thanks roboross! and it looks like....I'm against El Crazy first round, this should be fun. :) I know, but I'm excited since this is my first contest and having only made 6 boxes, I don't feel as seasoned as you guys yet....I'll try my best anyway ;)

[Brettska99]

Well, if this starts in october, you'll have to extend the dates the boxes could be turned in, yes october is a more fitting month, but remember, school is more important people! Sure i love to this, but if i had bad grades, i wouldn't be allowed on the computer, for some, school sucks, no for me, i kinda like school, i get to laugh with my friends about how poor are school is, i remember one day in our Jazz Band class, our teacher cuts off in the middle of the song, he walks up to the pencil sharpener (its nailed to the wall) and he kicks it off, and then he just leaves the classroom, he eventually came back, boy, by that time i just wanted to leave, so my point is the contest should start ASAP!!!

I cant because everybody already knows the games and it would be unfair. Ill give you guys more time to make the box.

Im sure you'll do fine.

[VGMaster]

Do we have to make a front and a back? And does it have to be 3D?

[Nerdysimmer]

Aw, man. I wish this contest would've started on October, like scheduled. Sorry Roboross, I'm sitting this one out. I have so many things I need to do for the next 3 weeks. Having 2 competitions go on at the same time, while working at a job, doing a Summer Book Report, and taking classes of computer engineering, doesn't leave me enough time to do this competition.

I'm sorry. But I have to leave this competition. I'm left with no other choice. Feed, you win by default. Congratulations!

[Feed]

COME ON, people. Why are you being crybabies? Like you don't have 4 free hours on holidays?

[Roboross]

Do we have to make a front and a back? And does it have to be 3D?

Sorryy, yeah, front and back and it doesn't have to be 3d, it can be 2d if you want.

Well, good luck, dude. And may the best man win! :)

[Ayron]

well, i'm sorry, but i think i'm going to have to leave the competition.
the only way for me to make a box now is to search pictures on a 1,8mbps internet connection,burn on a disc, and open them on my comp.
as for that, school is starting, and i dont have enough time..
sorry.
good luck everyone ^^.

p.s. internet won't be up soon, i guess.

[Ladykiller]

Well, good luck, dude. And may the best man win! :)

[VGMaster]

Roboross. Please contact us (or me at least) if you got our boxes. Maybe you could post in the thread who's boxes you've gotten. I've never done a contest before and am nervous that you don't have mine. SO PLEASE contact me!

[Ayron]

GREAATTTT, who else plans on dropping out?

[Ervo]

I need everryones boxes, right now i only have about 8..

It would be nice, if you tell us whose boxes you have?

[susuwatari]

This is getting a little annoying now, why can't people pay attention? We had 8 days to make the box and voting was supposed to have started yesterday!!!

[Feed]

Ok, so...ill tell you what will happen:

Now we will be waiting for other contestants, someday they will submit totoally crappy boxes and that would mean we were waiting for crap.
