    So at what stage is the first contest at right now assassin?

    Don't lose hope yet. We've still got a few things to sort out:

    1) items/objects to be used the shot
    2) any further requirements for a photo to "pass", such as min size of object, or any themes it has to adhere to. Basically, any other rules regarding image validity.
    3) Contest date, submission window, prize.
    4) Judging method/ list of Judges (not really necessary)

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Sorry, only just saw the thread. I've given my input now.

    4) Judging method/ list of Judges (not really necessary)
    I had assumed that there would be a poll in General Discussion, where Gotwoot could vote for its favorite pictures without knowing the artist.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    1 - We should let the mods decide that one

    2 - We should have the liberty to choose anything else besides the said object

    3 - As soon as possible, PM Assassin or any other mod with the photo, who cares i'm just doing it for fun

    4 - Read above, xan said it perfectly

    We'll take care of all that....what i need from you guys is a list of possible prizes. Custom titles only go so far, so i'd like to hear from the general public regarding what would be some suitable prizes.

    Some cool prizes:

    mod powers for a limited time
    get to see rep poster IDs for yourself for a limited time
    gif avatar or sig


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Enlarged sig (I for one want this)
    Custom titles (not sure if its a one time thing or if you gain the ability to change it at will, which can be two separate prizes if they are indeed separate)

    Mod powers seems a bit too ambitious Ani, if Abdula won he'd ban everyone who disagrees with him and that would be the end of gotwoot.

    An enlarged sig would be troublesome because if it was too big it would stretch out the page.

    I'm for:

    - Custom titles
    - Animated avatars
    - Colored / Bold usernames
    - Rep boost

    Those are listed in order of importance

    The enlarged sig is something like what Lucifus has. He won it in the deadfire sig contest a while ago. I'm not sure if you were around then, but it does not seem to be a problem for him even now.

    Rep boost is absurd. It defeats the system entirely, and is probably an option only rep failures would choose.

    Animated avatars is a great idea if its possible.

    I think the username changes are already being used to identify mods and admins. I would not want a colored one though, since it seems like the user is begging for attention.

    Aren't we all kind of begging for attention by posting on these forums?

    I want an italicized and bolded username. It demonstrates to newcomers that I am different from the other posters here, which would become evident when they read some more of my posts, but I don't want to wait that long for them to recognize the difference.

    @The Archangel: they would be limited in their power and scope, like a ban would only last 12 hours or a day.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

    Thats potentially the best post you've ever made.

    I'm for the animated Ava's. Always wanted one.
    Don't believe in yourself, believe in me, who believes in you.

    Pleas no, no animated avatars, there are a pain in the eye and I'm so happy this place banned this kind of things. But again that's my only opinion.

    Bold username is usually seen as Mod/Admin in many places, don't know if it's possible here.
    Larger sig? why not, after all, there's room in the template for a larger sig.

    Mod powers? nooo

    being able to know who repped you YEEEEESSSS that would be nice after all, this is a weapon of mass felony as of yet

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    1) hahaha, dream on. people tend act stupid with temporary mod powers.
    2) this one is rather interesting, but it would be up to comp.
    3) again, need the ok from the viking, but i dont see why not...maybe for a limited time though, so we can use it again for other contests without having multiple people with animated sigs/avas.

    An enlarged sig is also good, as well as colored names (though im not sure how many people actually care about that.....maybe we can make it a choice between larger sig or colored name).

    So are you planning to give prizes to the top 5 or something or just the one that wins?

    Just the one that wins.

    Don't let that stop you, though. This is supposed to be about having fun, not the payoff.

    Well in that case just go for the custom title, honestly i can't think of anything else i'd like since the animated avatr is only temporal

    I don't know how the rest of the forum feels about it ofc, that's just my opinion
