OK, Assassin's come up with a running idea for the prize.
Now I just need people to PM me if they're going to be participating. See my thread in GD.

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Avatar/sig size increases: we've tested to 125x125 avatars and 125x500 sigs, and both are fine. It's basically 25% larger in every dimension, which doesn't break the layout, and does give you more real estate to work with. Good for the photoshoppers and such, and doesn't do bad things to the forums as a whole.
Animated sig: not gonna happen, those things are evil. Also, enabling that for a single user would be a pain, I think, because it's not a group-specific setting.
Animated avatar and profile pic, on the other hand, is quite doable, and I think is a bit less eye-burningly irritating than animated sigs. I'd allow it. Maybe not in conjunction with the size-boosted avatar/sig combo though.
Seeing rep-givers is doable, but I don't think I like the idea. I'd rather stay clear of that one.
Username markup is admin-set (meaning only me and munsu can apply it, and only the two of us can change it). Giving you a custom username markup would invite lots of annoyance, if you ever got sick of it and wanted to change it, so I don't really want to go there.
As far as mini-mod powers, when I think about any permutation of that that I can come up with, it leaves me with a bad taste about it, so ... probably not.
I could never get the 125x125 Avatar thingy to work.
I'd say....we need the okays of the mods for our chosen animation if we roll with it; because quite simply they can be the most annoying things on the web.
I can only imagine what BoC or bagnscapel would grace us with.
ok so we dont have as many participants as i'd hoped....infact im gonna have to change the original layout of the contest since it doesn't look like we'll have enough people.
Really guys, get off your asses and participate...this is why more contests dont happen, cuz its tough to organize something for like 10 ppl. And honestly, if this is the case then i really dont see another contest happening after this one.
Almost everyone who's posted in this thread has signed up so far.
Shinta|hikari and Ryllharu, I'm looking at you guys.

We need 24 people to stick to the original layout....go out and advertise you bastards (in the flame pit only though). call your friends, your neighbors, your sisters stalker ex-boyfriend and his cat if need be.
To be honest the prize offered is hardly worth the effort of participation. I'll play anyway since I agreed to.
“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?”
I don't think most of us are in for the prize more than the event anyway.Originally Posted by Animeniax
I'll going to start advertising via rep. Give before you get, as they say.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Might as well make the contest worthwhile with a nice prize. It will attract more participation than the few it has managed to attract based on how much fun they'd have just competing.

Well I received neg rep as advertising... but applied anyway.
Let the game begin.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
You neg repped David75 to force him to sign up? That's cold-blooded.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....someone took advantage and framed me
I tried repping you David, but I couldn't. Didn't spread enough rep after Banzai!! to rep you again.
Glad you joined though.

Yeah, I think I know (but can be wrong) who neged me anyway, and I know it wasn't you Buff.
Oh and I knew someone like Ani would react that way to what I wrote
Let's take pictures.
Months ago, I wanted to create a "Take a pic of your cup noodles cup in any place you want... Eifel tower, bus, school, work..." but never got the courage to go past the idea.

A cup of cup-noodles is an interesting idea....and for some reason your worlds reminded me of the guy who does the chicken dance all over the world.
And I shall continue my repping in 24hrs time...
Are some of the mods playing too, or are they all in management?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Cut the chatter, everyone.
Anyway, we've almost got enough participants to start this thing. Also, no, none of the mods are playing.
All the regulars who would have played anyway (like you) have already PM'd me. It's not as if the number is that small, just lower than we initially expected.
Also I'm sorry if you don't like the prizes offered. I guess anything short of becoming an honorary mod isn't worth the effort in participating? It's an internet forum. I can't think of many "benefits" beyond the ones already suggested.

i'm sorry but have the prizes been set already?
pretty much the stuff comp mentioned....increase ava/sig size, animated ava, custom title.
Maybe an honorary mention on the front page, and internet fame? what more do you want
lol so the first guy gets all that??
Shouldn't we get prizes for the second a third places?
i think kitkat should cough up some of those knitting patterns she was talking about a while back. or someone could draw up a picture for the winner. i suppose it doesn't really matter much. i just don't care much for internet fame. i like tangible presents
Well i wouldn't mind drawing something but.
1 - I'm not that good
2 - I want to participate too
