Congratulations MrGood. Leifkicker will be contacting you shortly to arrange for the prize. All others, if you are interested in purchasing a card, contact Leifkicker.

Great job everyone. Stay tuned, another contest will be announced tomorrow. I'll give you a hint.
Look around the house for those items that you would normally throw away. Now, look at them while thinking about men with pointy ears.

[Onacara]

Since the prize is so great, wouldnt it be better to make this one not so speedy and announce it now but set the deadline for after Gen-Con? Just wondering what others think.

[Lotus]

I'll bite, let me know what and where :D

EDIT: Taking the post above me into account, that doesn't sound like a half bad idea, maybe give just a general idea what we are looking for, but no specifics, that way people can look for the resources they'd like to use.

Like if we were to make a Subway Entrance, you could say Subway Entrance, but not go into the size or anything like that.

[Onacara]

I'll bite, let me know what and where :D


OMG ...Lotus you are lucky this is a family site LOL

[Lotus]

Dirty, dirty mind, I better edit that.

[Taelord]

I have to enter this one. I love that terrain. I was gonna buy it too. Now I could win it.

[hi1hi1hi1hi1]

I'm in, assuming its not something impossibly hard to create.

[Onacara]

I think if you gave more time you would definitely get 10 or more entries...

[Taelord]

True indeed. I think we should start soon and be given until after Gen-Con.

[Dictatorbilbo]

Ditto. A longer contest would result in more entries of higher quality.

[insomnimaniac]

I'm liking that Idea! Come on Cyco, that should be able to get a few more involved. :pray: I'll finally be able to join if we had a longer work time.

[cycoduck]

Okay, okay, it looks like everyone wants a lot more time for this one, due to the awesome prize available.

I'll post the rules and theme tomorrow morning, this one should be cool.

[zanter]

hmmmmmm i just might enter this one..

[robopesant]

Me too sounds fun.:)

[Lotus]

Ooh, now I am excited, it's tomorrow, and I have to work soon, so post up the rules dangit!!

[insomnimaniac]

Okay, okay, it looks like everyone wants a lot more time for this one, due to the awesome prize available.

Attaboy! I really hope this contest attracts more builders with the extended time to work on it, I hope the theme grabs my attention.

Thank you Cyco!

[Taelord]

Can't wait until tomorrow.

[Raudulfr Shieldcrusher]

I've avoided the speed contests because of the short time to build. ( I know that's the point but . . .)

But I might get in on this one!

[Syvarris the Ruler]

Yay longer time!and I finnally got paint :D so I can actually finish it! :pray: Please let it be Ullar related Please let it be Ullar related Please let it be Ullar related Please let it be Ullar related.

[robopesant]

Ooh, now I am excited, it's tomorrow, and I have to work soon, so post up the rules dangit!!It's today he said that yesterday.

[cycoduck]

Rules and theme posted

[robopesant]

Does it have to be as big as 1 24-hex terrain, and 1 7-hex terrain, 2 3-hex terrain or can it just be 1 7-hex terrain?

[Raudulfr Shieldcrusher]

I might have to buy another master set to offset all the tiles I'm using on customs :lol:

[Onacara]

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!...I know exactly what I am gonna do for this one.... ;-)

[robopesant]

Does it have to be as big as 1 24-hex terrain, and 1 7-hex terrain, 2 3-hex terrain or can it just be 1 7-hex terrain? Need to know. Can't wait!:drowning:

[cycoduck]

Answer to some of the questions, both posted and pm'd

Hey I just want to make sure I am doing this right. I will need to assemble and paint the whole thing and submit the pictures to you. If I have a destructible object I just need to send picture of object and the rules for it, i do not have to make the card correct?

lastly I have a few custom marro that I have made is it cool to have them in the picture as well? After all the rules say any marro, I just want to be crystal clear as this will be the first contest I will be able to enter.

Thanks so much for your patience.

Ted

You do not have to make the card, leifkicker makes the card, sends me the jpg, and I post it with your custom.
The rule did say any Marro, so, yes, you can use a custom Marro.

With that great prize, this would have been a great time to use only household items, no putty, flock, etc.

Bring out the real masters of creativity.

I thought about that, but, not everyone has access to every household item, nor do I want to make it that people have to buy an item just to use for a custom. Most, if not all of us, have toilet paper in our house. Most, if not all, have hex terrain that can be used.

Does it have to be as big as 1 24-hex terrain, and 1 7-hex terrain, 2 3-hex terrain or can it just be 1 7-hex terrain?

You must use all of the hexes stated. you can stack them on top of each other, or spread them out, but all must be used in order to qualify for the contest.

I might have to buy another master set to offset all the tiles I'm using on customs :lol:

You do not need to sacrifice your terrain, as stated in this rule:

The slave pen can either incorporate the required hexes or fit onto the hexes, your choice (for those that do not have enough hexes to use for a custom terrain.

Please, keep the questions coming. I envision many of you will probably wind up using your custom terrain for a new scenario involving a rescue. Good luck all.

[Lotus]

Hmm, I now have my concept . . . . . this is gonna be messy.

[Ted]

I have my idea and am ready to enter my first contest. Best of luck to all aplicants.

[robopesant]

I have an idea too this should be fun :)

[Onacara]

Here are my 3 questions....

1-Do they have to be the official hexes or can you use hex alternatives? (wood, plaster, foam, rice krispie treats)

2-Can you only use 1 toilet paper tube?

3-Can the tube be cut?

[cycoduck]

Here are my 3 questions....

1-Do they have to be the official hexes or can you use hex alternatives? (wood, plaster, foam, rice krispie treats)

The custom has to be able to fit on the official hexes. Whether you incorporate the hexes into your custom, or use an alternative as the base and fit that on the hexes, is completely up to you.

2-Can you only use 1 toilet paper tube?

You can use more than one. I did not specify, I only said 'empty toilet paper roll'

3-Can the tube be cut?

Yes

[redic_rogue_07]

Can you use more than one fig

EX: prisoner and guard?

[cycoduck]

Can you use more than one fig

EX: prisoner and guard?

Yes

[cycoduck]

:bump:

New prize added by Leifkicker, a choice now. :excited: :excited: :excited:

[Ted]

Options rock.

[Lotus]

I like the Demon Gate a lot more, but it is neat none the less.

How much of the original toilet paper roll must be used, and does it have to be recognizable, or should we just point out where it went?

[Taelord]

I'm confused. One of the rules states that we have to use the amount of terrain tol. But another thing says we can use different amounts if we want.

[Lotus]

How about you have to use at least that much terrain.

[Taelord]

That would be a huge prison. I was planning on making it out of a 7 hex.

[Lotus]

Mine is going to be about 7 hexes inside, perhaps a little less. You don't have to fill all the space, just use it somehow.

[cycoduck]

I'm confused. One of the rules states that we have to use the amount of terrain tol. But another thing says we can use different amounts if we want.

To answer your question:

1. Must use the hex terrain specified, no more, no less. This means, if 1 7-hex, 1 2-hex and 1 1-hex terrain is specified, that is what must be used for the custom terrain.

and

The slave pen can either incorporate the required hexes or fit onto the hexes, your choice (for those that do not have enough hexes to use for a custom terrain. ]/quote]

I stated the second, because some people did not want to sacrifice hex terrain for custom terrain, while others do. As long as the custom can fit onto the required hexes, and you provide a picture that has the required hexes in it, you are fine.

[quote="Lotus"]I like the Demon Gate a lot more, but it is neat none the less.

How much of the original toilet paper roll must be used, and does it have to be recognizable, or should we just point out where it went?

If we (the judges) can ascertain that an empty toilet paper roll was used in the custom, then it is fine if you want to cut up the roll.

[Ted]

I have never PMed pictures before how is it done or can they be emailed?

Thanks.

[cycoduck]

7 days left, only 3 submissions. I figure I'll get a rush of submissions on the last day, but remember. We need at least 10 entries for the prize from leifkicker to come into play.

[robopesant]

How do you decide the winner?

[Lotus]

Yeah, I will be getting mine started tomorrow, and probably done by Monday, just haven't had the time I was hoping for, and I am a little stuck on how to implement some things I wanted.

[brickman1444]

How do you decide the winner?

It's a public vote.

[robopesant]

Can I vote for myself?

[Cavalier]

Can I vote for myself?yes :roll:

[robopesant]

I know stupid question, just making sure. lol

[Lotus]

Man, I still haven't started mine yet, but my kids are gonna help me with mine tonight I hope, I just have to gather all the supplies for after dinner.

[Leif Kicker]

Cyco/Cheif and those of you that have sent me some pictures to put in on a card.

Just and FYI. I have them, I have not forgotten about you! Ill be working on them Thursday to get them to Cyco/Cheif. Kids started school this week so its ate up some free time.

Good Luck to all that entered. Hope to see some more last minute entriees. ITS NOT TO LATE!!!!

[Onacara]

I didnt get enough done on mine before vacation and dont have the time to finish in time for the contest...but I will be sending in my take on this contest at some point for public viewing...good luck to all that enter/entered

[cycoduck]

We have 5 entries so far, so, hurry up all of you last minute entries. Friday is coming up fast.

[Lotus]

Yeah, the free time that I thought I would have for this has quickly been eaten up by time to work. There is a very slim chance I'll get to enter, which makes me sad, but so is life.

[bad_calvin]

I have been busy building some "gifts" for certain members here so have not had the chance to jump in on this one. I want to keep an eye out for when you do the contest again.

[robopesant]

15 minutes. :excited: :excited: :excited: I'm excited.

[Cavalier]

Quit it already with the thousand smilies in a thread. Smilies are like salt...a little inhances flaver, a lot ruins everything.

[insomnimaniac]

Agreed.

I've got to give you a hard time Cav. Enhances and Flavor. Just a little friendly reminder. :wink:

[robopesant]

Also how long does it usually take for him to post the pics. of all the entries and the poll?

Oh man Calvin...now I wont be surprised...but I will still enjoy it...you rock!!!!!!


















Did it work?? :-)

[robopesant]

When is he going to post the entrees and poll for the contest? Why is it taking so long?

[Syvarris the Ruler]

When is he going to post the entrees and poll for the contest? Why is it taking so long?
Just be patient...It will probably be on later in the day.

[insomnimaniac]

Cyco probably has important things to do over the weekend.

More than likely peopel sent in stuff last minute and leif is still working on the cards for them

Oh ok, thanks.

[cycoduck]

Need to be patient. Leifkicker is ill, so he's taking a while to make the cards.
We have only a total of 6 entries, so I need to talk with leifkicker to see if that is acceptable for the prize.
Other news, we have another scaper that is donating a prize for the next contest. Also, you may want to begin collecting those odds and ends around the house, this next contest will have an interesting list of items needed for the custom. One hint, the them will be for Ullar (one of our more ignored generals)

[robopesant]

Oh, ok. Could you post the pics of the terrain? Thats the only thing I'm having trouble being patient with. lol

[insomnimaniac]

Oh, ok. Could you post the pics of the terrain? Thats the only thing I'm having trouble being patient with. lol


Please be patient. I personally believe this contest will be worthless without the cards/stats, seeing as how that was a big part of this particular contest.

I'm about to put you in a stray jacket here shortly. :lol: j/k

[Leif Kicker]

If all goes well i will get them all to Cyco on Sunday...

I had an allergic reaction to a shampoo and swelled up like the Goodyear tire guy. Hard to type on the keyboard and control the mouse cause my fingers are the size of hotdogs!

But no fear the polls will be open soon

[Little_Miss_Sunshine]

Sorry to hear about that. I sure hope you get to feeling better. I just recently got introduced to this site and I am very interested in seeing how custom terrains play out.

[robopesant]

I know im impatient but when will they be done?

[Syvarris the Ruler]

I know im impatient but when will they be done?
I second that.

[eric.dunfee]

I know im impatient but when will they be done?

Probably when he finishes them

[Leif Kicker]

Just waiting on Cyco :)

[robopesant]

Ok thanks.

(PS Hope you feel better.)

[cycoduck]

I received the cards, but I must beg a little more patience. I had to actually go out of state for a few hours today for a death in the family. I'm home now, but it may be one more day to get things posted as I get things straightened out for my family. Please be patient.

[robopesant]

I'm sorry to hear that. Ok I'll be more patient.

[eric.dunfee]

Awesome job all around! All the entrants look great, and it's the wonderful people behind these that really help pull the community together. I didn't get in on this one as I only have 1 MS, and didn't feel like sacrificing any terrain ( I know you don't HAVE to) but if the next one is a little smaller scale, I definately think I'll be participating!

[cycoduck]
