Exclamation Speed Custom Unit Contest D5

Alright, due to lack of entire,s I am extending the due date to the 24th. Then the poll will run for 2 days. Then editing can occur until the 28th. then 2 days for the final poll.

Speed Custom Unit Contest D5
The goal of this contest is two things. Bring out some of the communities custom unit talents and have fun.

RULES
1 Have fun
2 In order to be an eligible participant you must follow all guidelines provided in each contest and turn in your entry by the due date.
3 Once you PM your entry this is your final submission. Unless you attach a note asking me for help. This entry will be submitted into the polls
IF IT QUALIFIES.
4 No more than one entry per person. If someone creates more than one entry you must pick one to be submitted.
5 You may not submit a previous entry OR unit made within 1 month of the contest posting.
6 All entry’s must be reasonably compatible with the Heroscape battle system created by Hasbro and now run by WOTC.


SUBMISSIONS
All submissions must follow all guidelines and not be in violation of the rules of this site. To officially be entered in the contest you must do a few things.
1 Make an entry that follows the guidelines for the contest for that month and the rules of the contest.
2 Pm it to me OR if specified to another member. This pm must be titled Custom Unit Contest + (Insert screen name here)

3 Attach a message saying you have read and understand the submission guidelines.
Figures:
This month you are to create an entry using this mucky looking boy. His D&D title is Clay Golem.


Prize
A Heat is the time span of 6 consecutive months. A leg is 3 consecutive months. Each contest will be 1 month long. At the end of each leg the 3 winners will go under a play test process by the judges. The winner will then be placed into the finals for that heat. At the end of each heat the finalists will be put up against each other. The winner of each heat will be placed into the Tried and True Classic Customs Index or "hall of fame" as well as a Speed Custom Unit Contest Winners Display Thread.


Voting
After the initial creation time all entries that meet the requirements will be divided into even or as even as possible groups. These groups will each be placed into separate polls. These polls will accordingly be titled poll a poll b etc. After the winner is decided in each poll they will be placed into a finalists poll. Whoever wins this will be that months winner. In between the two polls each finalist will have a 3 day time span to make changes to their entry.

Re: Speed Custom Unit Contest D5

Got mine sent off. When will the poll be up? I think the first contest had a deadline in the OP. That would probably be worth adding. (Or I'm going blind, but I sure don't see it).

Also I've been thinking about why the first contest was so much more sucessful than the more recent ones. This purely my opinion, take it for what it's worth. I think that limiting the contest to a single figure is too restrictive for some. The first contest allowed any dnd mini, which left much more options. Personally I enjoy the single unit method. It challenges me to create a unique unit. However this isn't for everyone, and I think that those who do enjoy it are the minority, so there are less entries. I'd suggest allowing a pool of units to choose from. Example: All figures from the deathknell set. Once again this is only personal speculation, so take it for what it's worth.

I think Ollie put it best with this logic about tournament restrictions.

I guess this thread is more about my frustration with people who say the equivalent of "let's increase variety by reducing the types of build that are permitted" and hoping to get them to think a little more about what they want to achieve.

Re: Speed Custom Unit Contest D5

I'm a little confused. I was busy organizing an event for the past few weeks so I didn't have a chance to create an entry. However i don't see a deadline in the opening post either, just he above quote that entries were due on the 19th.

Re: Speed Custom Unit Contest D5

Sorry chief, I doubt mine will be in before the 25th. I hope you still get enough entries to make it work though. These contest can be fun to see what other people can come up with.

Re: Speed Custom Unit Contest D5

Another thing that would probably help the contests is publicity. If the guys at W@HS could get us some front page exposure we'd probably generate a lot more interest.
