VincentASM Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Oh yeah, should I post about this contest on the main site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Just making sure, is this gonna be the banner for the default Serenes Forest green? (I.e.are the alt theme banners to stay blank, take this contest's winner, or is something different altogether going to happen?) No promises but I'm gonna give it a try (for sweet publicity). "The banner must blend well with our current Serenes Forest theme." I presume the answer is yes Oh yeah, should I post about this contest on the main site?Why wouldn't you Edited June 5, 2013 by OldMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 "The banner must blend well with our current Serenes Forest theme." The question all participants must ask themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Why wouldn't you I dunno, in case we get too many entries? Yeah... right. I mean if Jyosua wanted me to, he could have asked earlier or maybe he did and I missed it or put it on the front page himself : P But I'm mainly asking because at this moment I'm too busy to do anything else, except ask.

Jyosua Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Actually yeah, that'd be great. I thought about adding it myself, but then I got distracted and forgot about it. XDAlso, I could just give away a $50 gift card of the participant's choice, but I was trying to keep it Fire Emblem themed. ;_; Perhaps that would be a suitable alternative? Back in my time, this kind of contest wouldn't even have prizesThough I admit the entries were pretty bad too Why do you think I'm giving a prize away? That and I'd like to generate some activity, so I thought a contest every now and then might not be a bad idea. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Actually yeah, that'd be great. Also, I could just give away a $50 gift card of the participant's choice, but I was trying to keep it Fire Emblem themed. ;_; Perhaps that would be a suitable alternative? I'd say keep it Awakening or the Book of Iris. Considering you want it to be FE themed and all. Those of us who do have Awakening can give it to a less fortunate friend etc if we want. That's my take on it. Edited June 6, 2013 by Jedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 You could just do it like this "One choice out of these three: - FE13 - Artbook - 20 bucks" The fixed prizes should be more valuable than the money/gift card prize, lest it becomes a no-brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jyosua Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Option 4: become a moderator on the forum No that's not an option. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 No that's not an option. XD We could let whoever wins decide in detail what to do with our word filters, then. I don't know why you are so opposed to my clearly harmless suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Why not offer various FE merchandise then? D: Like the Knights of Iris, or the soundtrack, or the Drama CDs... If not, maybe toys or something. Come to think of it, are there toy FE merchandises, like plushies or figures (not counting the icky Tharja one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 But the soundtrack seems to be 90 bucks, for instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenh Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) There's the FE 3/4 figures (which are within the $50 mark on eBay), and other games in the series. Promo posters and other swag's there too, but at not so great a price value. Getting winner's theme of reasonable choice closer to completion could've been a prime motivator/prize. Then again, I guess the main point of the contest is to get just SF Green done, not create a lot of hype/drama behind color factions. [Edit: double-checked prize prices on eBay, and also found this legendary coffee cup.] Edited June 6, 2013 by Lenh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aisuko Lyrical Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I was wondering cause my banner is done what do you mean by "preview"? my banner is pretty fancy but it's just a foresty pic with words and Leanne on it..I have no idea if mine fits the bill..

TheEnd Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 If your banner involves fancy coding, then I presume he wants an html page with it working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacticianjenro Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Daaaaahhhh!! *************!!! I. HAVE. TO. JOIN. *kills myself* I am going to join. I am probably the only one here who has a 3DS but doesn't have Awakening yet so this is really a great opportunity! I have a European-region 3DS, and from Asia so I can't buy any games from where I live. Please I am going to join so don't cancel the contest Oh god I have to learn fancy HTML, CSS, and Javascript immediately Anybody have a picture of the old banner? The one that "doesn't work". Might try my hand at this. Yes, anyone? I would like to see the picture of the old banner too... Edited June 7, 2013 by tacticianjenro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapier Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm interested in this, but I have a question regarding the price. Since I live in Brazil and there are no copies of FEA around here, are you going to ship it or just send me 50 USD so I can buy the digital copy (if I win, of course)? And it's been a looong time since I actually do something with Photoshop, this will be tough. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
