Jim's Set Contest! WINNERS ANNOUNCED

[Jim]

Thats right, I need a set. But not just any set.

The set in question is for a counter strike gaming forum that I frequent. For those of you who dont know, Counter Strike is the single most popular online First Person Shooting Computer Game of all time. Therefore, the usual PPT limits do not apply. It can ( and should ( please )) be BIG, ( but not too big please. 600 X 200 or something of the like ), and animated. It should also rock. Suitable images etc should be easy to find around the net.

Theme should be something suitably macho and cool involving counter strike. My online name is ~DreDNawT~, and I'd like this incorporated somewhere. There is also a quote I particularly like which you can feel free to take from or include completely if your heart desires. It runs thusly:

And lo, I beheld a pale horse, and he who sat upon it, his name was DreD, and Hell followed with him.

As you can tell, the quote has been suitably edited. You dont have to use it, of course.

As for the prizes :

1st Place - 50k NP
2nd Place - 25k NP
3rd Place - 10k NP

Also not only will everyone else who enters recieve 2k NP, but for 1 month following the judging, I will change my name to whatever the First Place winner desires ( but keep it clean ). This could be something along the lines of "insertwinnersnamehere pwns me", or, "I smell like a baboon's bottom", or "I wish I was as cool as insertwinnersnamehere". Im sure you can see the possibilities. You could even run a poll as to see what you should choose. Im sure you agree, not an opportunity to miss

All NP prizes were very very kindly donated by Charisma and Jasujo , as I dont actually play Neopets anymore.

The deadline for this contest is September 11th. I look forward to any entries

Was 400 x 300 an actual size you'd like or were you exaggerating? lol

Also, what is the avatar limit for this forum? File size limits would be nice to know, too (if there are any).

I see you caught me before I updated the post. The new size I set is actually quite reasonable considering some of the sigs people use. Time to go mad

Also, what is the avatar limit for this forum?

Also not a big issue, but I'll limit this to 150 X 150.

File size limits would be nice to know, too (if there are any).

File limits shouldnt really be an issue. Anyone visiting the forum plays the game, and the game requires a high speed connection. I know one lad whose sig is beyond huge. Even so, limit the av to 100k Max and the sig to 300k. They'll only have to load them once, afterall, so I may be flexible on this if need be.

I will enter.

If a fellow man (or woman) needs a set that has a theme of a video game. Then it shall be made.

... It just won't be very good.

Do we have to use images taken from Counter Strike, or can we use photographs of actual SAS guys? (if we were going to use SAS guys on it?)

Totally up to you mate.

[moogie]

here's a rough draft of my idea, let me know how you like it

I knew this contest was a good idea. Looks superb, mate!

[Bangel]

Ooh. =)

I really want to enter this. Not going to win at all, but 600 x 200? Yay for room to actually do stuff! :-D

Edit: Sig



Transparency doesn't look so good on Subblack, but since your own signature has white around the edges in Subblack as well, I didn't think you'd mind. It stinks. Worse av coming soon.

EDIT: Av added in there.

Well, I tried ... knowing nothing at all about Counter Strike. It does really look interesting though. I may have to check it out. So many layers (oy), a few different images used.





just in case, here's the url for the sig:

Some of those images are from Half-Life 2, but it is a good set!

I'm still working on mine.

[everconfused]

*le sigh* Well, I googled Counter Strike, those images came up with of course pages and pages of others, so I thought the Half-Life 2 was a kind of "chapter" of Counter Strike. What do I know, I'm just a girl!

Okies, so I searched again, and I think(?) these all are correct. Sure hope so. My psp had a fit and shut down a few times (always fun, eh?). Had to use theimagehosting, imageshack is acting wonky.
