I'm hosting the next competition which is going to start on November 23rd, 2007! Hopefully, I'm not Interrupting the OctoberFest competition, since it'll probably end in about the end of october or beginning of november.

Anyway, I'm hoping some of the users on this site will join this competition.



Rules:

1. If you are suspected of cheating in any way, you will be disqualified.

2. If you fail to submit a box by the due date, you will be disqualified, otherwise if there are bound to be problems.

3. You may not submit a boxart you have already posted on this site.

4. A vote must have an explanation, it cannot be like: "I vote for number 1 because it looks better." Describe the advantages!

5. You may not bash other people's boxes for no apparent reason. You will be disqualified if you do not follow this rule.

6. You may not start FLAME WARS!!!!! A flame war will result in an automatic disqualification to anybody involved in one. If a person tries to flame on purpose, ignore the person, and he/she will be disqualified, while you stay safe.


Setup:

Like most of the competitions, setup will follow the standard competition style of:

Title:
Console:
Genre:
Full/Front:
2D/3D:
Other:

Because of the immense amount of users participating, I promise I'll make the competition creative, innovative, and fun at the same time!



Notices:

Hawpoka has resigned from the competition.

Vengeance has resigned from the competition.

KoopaDasher has resigned from the competition.

Ratchetcomand has resigned from the competition.

Everybody will receive a PM from me once the competition starts.

IceFox has resigned from the competition.

MugglesMan11 has volunteered to match up the contestants!

Due to an unexpecting problem, i allow thecodemaster to participate. However, this is going to result in one three-way match.

Added a setup warning.

Fortunately (and maybe unfortunate for some), because of some school problems, and me just randomly choosing numbers, the competition has been "pulled" to the 23rd of November, right after Thanksgiving.

IceFox has volunteered to do the banners.

Thanks to Koopadasher, the competition's name has been changed to WinterFest!

quick question, nerdysimmer. how to you judge if someone's an experience artist or not. the conditions to join seem a bit vague to me.

Nerdy, may I take a quick shot at making a logo and banners for the contest?

If so, please say so (and if you can, sign onto AIM)

E_G

Are you sure that's a good idea Ratchet? You don't often get the time to make a box art.

Well I'll sign up because I like the motivation.

I think Nov 27 is a good date because that gives a good time for me to make a box and round thanksgiving which means people will have off from school to make a box as well.

I hope i can a new Photoshop soon later this week.

Hmmm, I haven't made it past the first round in any of these comps I've entered....I'm not sure but I believe that my School Certificate is before the 27 so I will have all the time in the world to do the boxes.....if it is after them, which I'm pretty sure it is. Then I'm in, though I'm might drop out if the comp starts too early. put me down as a maybe ^^

It looks like he went to the last page, and went backwards through sign-ups until he got 32, instead of going to the first person that had not been written down, and going forward.

No, someone volunteered to match up the users based on their skill level. However, he did it before yummybrains and you signed up. So, I'm going to decide who gets the three-way match.

I'll only reveal who did the match ups if he want me to, or once the competition starts.

And, you're very welcome. :D

Yes you may, You can show me the banners now if you wish. I'll get on aim now.

IceFox
10-19-2007, 04:46 PM
I resigned from the contest because I had seen the rounds ahead of time to make the banners, and I did not want to have any sort of advantage.

CM took my place so there wont be that 3-round thingy. I have also offered to help with the contest as much as possible :)

Nerdysimmer
10-30-2007, 05:46 PM
New banner, hopefully KoopaDasher doesn't mind that I traced the outline design.

KoopaDasher
10-30-2007, 07:32 PM
I really don't like it. The competition rounds are difficult to load enough, without added imagery (I know. I had a 56 K connection during the summer competition, and it took forever to load the banners and boxes. I personally would prefer that you just let the boxes speak for themselves. In the OctoberFest, I've had to shrink down a large number of boxes, just to get them to fit on the site. And when I do that, I have to post the high-res link. With 33 people in the WinterFest, you're going to have one hell of a time keeping track of high-res links, as well as shrinking down 33 boxes. Keep it simple.

E_G
10-30-2007, 07:40 PM
NS even though I respect your effort I think you should keep it simple too, otherwise some participants might be put off.

shadysaiyan
10-30-2007, 10:33 PM
I also think the whole send in with transpearent thing is very unneccesary. some people who add backgrounds to there boxes do it to fit the box itself, sometimes boxes without backgrounds just dont look as good with with them, even it's all about the box itself, also i dont really like the display cases thing either, at first glance i thought it was a fish tank -_- (sorry) ,but i think they arist should make them like they want, untainted. it is a nice idea though ^_^

Nerdysimmer
10-31-2007, 04:13 AM
I appreciate your criticisms, so I'm just going to scratch the whole transparency thing off and cut down with the display case.

I just want this competition to be a great one, and a simple one for me to handle.

Nerdysimmer
11-05-2007, 12:38 PM

Ratchetcomand has left the competition, and therefore emptied one spot on the signups!

In order for the competition to run smoothly as planned, I ask anybody who did not sign up to please do so to fill that last space! :(

When did White_Dove drop out?

I wrote White_Dove out because she said she will join if we are allowed to make anything we want. we aren't. Read this quote:


So we are free to make a box about any game? if so, then count me in. Sounds fun!

She said she'll only join if we are free to do anything we want. Unless she says otherwise, I'll standby my decision of resigning her.

Please, don't judge things as you like.
I said that because I don't have much time and since I have made a box already so I thought I might join.

Thanks Nerdysimmer and sorry for withdrawing. I might join another competition of yours if you've ever decided to make another in the future.

Yeah. But, it is possible for there to be 2 at a time. Although, that probably means there will be less people for each.

Yeah, thats true. But I think Nerdy chose the 27th so he could have time to plan ahead.

Actually, i was just randomly choosing numbers from my head, It was when i checked the calender that i found out that the 27th was a weekday, so i chose the date in which the holiday season starts; Black Friday. I'm off from school on Thanksgiving weekend so i thought it would be a great idea to start the competition in which everyone here won't be at school, and parents spend money on early holiday shopping in which most stores open at 4 am.

The competition will start hopefully at 6:01 AM est on Black Friday.

I have a question.
What if people like me go somewhere during the christmas holidays?
Like to visit relatives or something?
What happens then?
Like lets say that the final round is going to be held on christmas day or something and i made it to the final round.
what happens?
Would you just kick them out for not having a box?
I mean that doesn't sound fair 'cause it's not like they were to lazy or anything.
haha i'm just ranting.

*Brain spurts*
Too..............much.............ranting......... ...



Anyway, if you are going somewhere on a holiday, then you must PM me the following:

Where are you going (optional)
How long until you come back (required)

Say a person sent me a private message saying this,


Hey Nerdysimmer, I'm going on a holiday trip to my grandma's house, and I'll probably be back this sunday. Am I going to be disqualified because of this?

Then what I'm going to say is then you'll have until [insert random date] to finish your boxart and submit it. I'll often give you a week after you come back from vacation to finish your boxart. However, if the boxart isn't submitted by the delayed deadline, then the person will be disqualified.

Any more questions?

Excellent... I think I'm going to be in Florida when the competition starts... Which means that I get to hole myself up in a guest room with my laptop and build the greatest box ever seen! MWAHAHA!

Well, not really. But I will have more time to do this since most of my time will be spent trying to stay away from my crazy relatives.

Nerdysimmer I think you should keep rounds basic, based just on things like genres and platforms or characters. I recommend rounds like "XBOX 360 Exclusive" or "Platform Game".

I'm aware that some people desire innovative round ideas like "Remake a Hall of Fame box" but that would probably cause controversy among some participants and put people off, which you definitely could do without in a comp with this much interest. You could end up with too much weight on your shoulders, so I reckon you should play it safe and not try to be a very innovative host.

Some of the rounds are going to be innovative, but not like the ones that involve the HOF. I really don't care about the HOF.

If things in my life do go out of hand, then i'll have a veteran be the sub-host while I'm gone.

Just to let you all know, the first round is going to require a good amount of creativity. Let's just say it'll be a round perfect for those who do something other than play games 24/7. ;)

My point was that innovative rounds can cause a fuss, for example I think some individuals would prefer it if there's not a round for film covers because in a way they would've been mislead.
