It's official, I give up trying to promote this contest...even though I spent hours typing up everything. =/ I'll be busy drawing/doodling those up who entered just to make it up for them. >.<


---------------------------------------------

Nov.22/2008

Okay, I decided that I will allow people to use image hosting sites to submit their entries too (just for the sake of getting more people entering my contest hopefully...and risking the chances of seeing surprise disgusting stuff from people....you know them =/).

If you have a profil3, please upload your contest entry with your account so you can enter still. For those of you who want to enter without having a profil3...Your entry MUST be from the following image hosts: Photobucket, TinyPic, or ImageShack. You must also post that you are entering my contest in this thread only (including your entry) if you plan to use image hosting sites. If you post inappropriate images, people and myself will report and get you suspended/banned.

---------------------------------------------

Nov.20/2008

I've made some changes to the contest so please check back as often as you can!

-I might decide to change the format of how you can enter the contest without creating a profil3 (even though it really shouldn't take a huge amount of time to create an account) with the risk of viewing surprise inappropriate stuff from people...you know them. x_X I will let you know that I have made that decision or not.

-I decided to remove the deadline for now just because I don't think enough people are interested. >.< When I decide that enough people decide that they are entering, THEN I'll create the deadline. =X

-I am still not accepting votes until I create a real deadline just because of the reason above.

That's all for now, check back later for more updates.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any loss of items, it was your decision and take the risk to enter my contest in the first place. It is also not my fault that you ignored to read the rules as well.

Introduction


Hi there! This is blazi4ever of basilmarket or blazi43ver of profil3 and I am hosting my very first contest for all of you to join! ^^ Please read the following to see what this contest is about and the F.A.Q in this thread too.

Huh? What the heck is this? Where did you get this idea?


I've seen so many people dropping their items in MapleStory screenies in such a creative way and I like seeing them. So of course, I thought I should host a contest to see more creativity from people. :D (If you don't know what I'm talking about, please check the C.M.I. contest examples from me >_<)

OMGWTHBBQ WHAT ARE THE PRIZES? (sorry attention grabber here)


You will have the chance to win a free art request from me. Whenever I submit my art onto Basil, I always receive PMs from random people asking me to draw them and I deny their requests. I barely take any from random strangers so here's your chance to get an art request from me! You will never win if you don't enter, come on out and have some fun! :D

Go here to view my artwork if you're wondering how I cg. =O

link

(Thank you to those who posted in this thread link for confirming that my art is actually worth winning for >_<)

Wow! This sounds pretty cool, are there any specific categories?


Yes, there will be 3 categories to choose from to enter; Funny, artistic, and creative.

*Funny means you are adding a sense of humor into your screenshot in some way with your items (E.g: Having your character look like it's wearing a skull).

*Artistic means you are submitting your entry just for the looks by your items (E.g: Going by color).

*Creative means you are entering your screenie with items dropped in a creative way (E.g: Real life situations, sports, food).

What if your entry was a combination of the categories?


Just choose a category that you want to enter in. If something is mostly made up of that category but it has a little bit of another, then enter the category that is mostly made up from your screenie.

(E.g: Someone enters a screenie that is mostly made up of an artistic way and it has a bit of creativity. That person would enter his/her screenie into the artistic category just because of their screenie is mostly made up of an artistic way) LOL sorry for my horrible English. =(

Are we allowed to include other people in our entries?


Yes, as long as they're cool with it. =P

How will the entries be judged?


The entries will be based on votes; if I do not get a great significant number of people voting, then I will be judging the categories myself.

Will there be any prizes?


Duh, of course! One winner will be selected from each category, with their choice of an art request from me (must be appropriate for all ages which must not contain any violent, gore, racial, hatred, or sexual themes; it can't be anything too hard that's beyond my skills). It can be a drawing of your MapleStory character, someone else's MapleStory character or even a drawing that's not related to MapleStory at all! =O

Can I vote for myself?


No, but you can vote for other people.

Reason:
It is considered cheating in my contest to vote for yourself, it's not fair to everyone else.


How do I vote?


PM me on profil3 (blazi43ver) or on basilmarket (blazi4ever) in this form:

-Name of contestant's screenie
-Name of contestant (their BasilID or profil3 page)
-State the category they are in (that way it will be easier for me to judge and other stuff!)
-The link to the contestant's screenie (please don't give me the image's url, instead post it like in this form. E.g: link )


If you would like to vote more than once, please use the above form again in the same PM. ^^

Are we allowed to vote more than once?


Only up to 3 times, but you cannot use more than 1 vote for the same entry; that will be cheating.

Will the votes be public?


No, they will not.

Reason:
I do not want everyone to start voting for the most popular screenie in lead just because it would not give anyone else a chance.


I want to enter but I don't know how!


Step 1: Create a profil3 account. [If you already have a profil3 account, you can enter it in this contest of course! =P)

Step 2: Join my group, Creative MapleStory Items Contest; which can be found here.

Step 3: Submit your entry under submit a pic (just so that I will have an easier time for my own reasons >_<)

Step 4: PM me on basilmarket (blazi4ever)/my profil3 (blazi43ver)/post in this thread in this form:

-The character IGN(s) you are submitting the screen shot with
-Your BasilID or profil3 userpage
-What category you are entering in
-The link to your contest entry (please don't give me the image's url, instead post it like in this form. E.g: link )


After I receive your contest information, I will be adding your entry to the C.M.I Entries list.

Another thing I would like to add contestants, please link back to the contest group in your screenie's description so that people viewing your entries through your profil3 will know what's going on. Forgot to mention that lmfao! =(

If you have a profil3, please upload your contest entry with your account so you can enter still.

OR

If you want to use an image hosting website you can. HOWEVER!

Your entry MUST be from the following image hosts: Photobucket, TinyPic, or ImageShack. You must also post that you are entering my contest in this thread only (including your entry, with the same format as the above except for the parts that include profil3) only if you plan to use image hosting sites. If you post inappropriate images, people and myself will report you and get you suspended/banned.

What if I don't like my current entry and I want to replace it with a better one?


You are allowed to do such a thing, PLEASE PM ME before you remove your original entry and you give me the same entry information (from what I stated from above). You may only do this ONCE.

Are we allowed to have more than 1 entry?


No.

Reason:
You cannot have the top number of votes in all 3 categories and/or having more of a chance to win in a specific category. That wouldn't be fair to everyone else so you are only to enter once.


If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me or leave them here (as long as you check back). These are all of the common questions people would ask I could think of. x_X Comments are welcomed too. =) And I apologize for my crappy grammar and English.

oo this is kinda cool, so you like drop items. And like make it look cool..and stuff? o-o

EDIT: How come you just wait until christamas is out. That way you can drop you items on the tree thing. If they still have it of course. That way no one will lose items. It could be like a christmas event..idk o-o

Yuppers. =)

That sounds like a good plan, but it'll be kind of limited to the uniqueness of entries if you know what I mean.

Oh, submitting artwork isn't a requirement in my contest. ^^ All you have to do is submit a screenshot of your character dropping items in a creative way like I stated in my thread. =D

Come to think of it, I may have a screenshot like that. O.o Dunno how creative it'd be, but I'll dig it up for the lulz.

Not necessarily, as long as they belong to you that's fine! Thanks for bringing that up! :D

Remember, there are other categories you can enter as well. ^^ I would love it if you have the chance to join! =D



LMFAO KAZOO! How is that not creative enough? There are a bunch of tubes floating around the Tube King, making you feel...floaty? xD Not only that, but there is a good sense of humor in it too; it made me giggle. =P
