No the first guy gets one of those....thier choice of what they want. And your prize for second/third/fourth place is bragging rights.Originally Posted by The Archangel
As for tangible presents saman, i'll buy you some timbits the next time you're in town.
That sucks that the mods can't play. I think Kraco in particular and Xan at least would want to give it a try.
The prizes are fine I guess. I was maybe expecting too much. I still think it would be a cool prize to be a mod for a week. Not like we'd abuse the power or something. Well, not me anyway.
Any idea how soon this will start? I might order a high-powered camera if there's enough time.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
you wanna order a new camera for a small, internet photo contest on an anime forum?
As for starting, i had originally planned to start next monday, but we're doing some restructuring of the overall contest..umm..structure. so it mite take a few more days, depending on how available/motivated me, xan and comp are.
Wow, way to hype up this contest and get us all excited, Assassin. I'm glad someone with so much enthusiasm is in charge of these contests.
No, the camera would be for an upcoming trip to Vietnam and later Japan, but this contest is the most important reason to spend $1500 on a new DSLR.

hahaha sweet deal! free timbits!
lol ani. i don't know how fair using a dslr camera would be for the rest of us poor saps who only have a regular ol' camera
The camera doesn"t make the good picture...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
No, but a good camera will augment any existing user skills to propel me to number 1.

No offense, but i'm gonna own your ass to oblivion on this contest Ani !
Those temporary admn powers are as good as mine! Muahahahaha... !
Can't we add a bit more bait than just one of those prizes mentioned? Like 2 choices for the winner, and 1 choice for the runner up, then bragging rights for the 2nd runner up? It will probably incite a lot more people to join if their chances of gaining something double.
Peace.
I think this is about all we could do with prizes for now. We would have some interesting options to play around with when and if Comp updates to the new vBulletin.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
why the hell would you get 2 prizes? it makes no sense considering we only have like 3 options for a prize anyway.
You must be new to the concept of effort vs payoff. More prizes will attract more participants.
If you have 3 prizes, you could let first place pick 2 of the 3, and second place could pick 1 of the 3. Nothing wrong with two people getting the same prize. I personally would like to see more variety in avatars and sigs, particularly animated avatars.

As for cameras, I still think I can accomplish a lot more with a 35mm film, mid-range Canon SLR with a 50 or 100mm lens than I can with a digital camera that supposedly emulates most of the functionality (shutter speed, aperature, etc).
I wouldn't be overzealous with the prizes either. Imagine someone taking first and opting for both animated avatar and sig, then going for a Porygon treatment on both...
multiple prizes is not gonna happen...suck it up.
The the winner gets to choose 1 of them right?
And if i choose custom title, does that mean that i choose 1 and stick with it or can i change it from time to time?
Rep whores can change their own whenever they please, but I don't know how it works for the winners (or in some cases, losers) of previous contests. I'm pretty sure they are stuck with the ones they ended up with.
If there was an option, I suppose it would have to be change as often as you want, so it would work the same way an enlarged avatar or signature would.
That presumes of course, that the mods are not doing special things to get around the normal size boundaries. In either case, I would think that it should be the same for all three prizes, whichever way it works.
this thread is a pile of feces, and i'm not going through it to see if there's actually a contest going on or not.
someone PM me when there's actually rules, guidelines, and, you know, organization for this.
oh, and, clearly, i'm in
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
