n_odie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Cool idea. I proposed Updating the Ranks. 3 more values of the 3 top winners would be cool. I also enjoyed the make a caption ones in the past as well! RIP MichaelangelopolousThanks to cowboy14 for the pimp sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I was thinking maybe writing a tipit themesong or a song about tipit (Not necessarily about tipit, but maybe about a certain board or something) would be cool. And post the voting thread as a global announcement, not just on general! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill_Life Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Last time it was Global (I think). No? "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do"[Currently playing: K1ll L1f3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 size=110]And post the voting thread as a global announcement, not just on general![/size] A global announcement has always been creating saying something like: "The Tip.it Rank Contest is back again! This contest is: ____________. To participate in this contest, visit the following thread: ________." Then the actual thread is posted in General Discussion but the global announcement ALWAYS has a link to it. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errdoth Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 If you do image captions again (which I wouldn't mind at all, they're a lot of fun) could I suggest setting it up similar to the way cracked.com does it and then allowing users to vote?

The Observer Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Maybe an image caption contest again, like what was done in the past. So, I agree with Errdoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Image captions means everyone can join in not just those with art or music skills. I support.

Laikrob Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Or new ranks? I'd like to see contest with suggestion on new ranks. : You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe. Who's arrogant now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbellz Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Or new ranks? I'd like to see contest with suggestion on new ranks. : Yes, let's have some more ranks between 5,000 and 10,000 posts. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyw3000 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I'm against the "letting users vote for each other thing though". People will just vote for friends, who may not have made a good entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSBDavid Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I don't know if someone said this already, but you could do a general song about runescape. [software Engineer] - [Ability Bar Suggestion] - [Gaming Enthusiast] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkofDeath Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Captions are fun but they aren't exciting if there isn't anything new to go around. People could write a like a short story(As in like 4 to 6 lines (120-170 characters?) about RuneScape, which relates to the caption/phrase/rank in a humourous, serious, or whatever kind of way/theme. Say the new rank that is being proposed by the user is 'Shark Wrangler', the story or poem or whatever would be related to fishing in some way. I'd rather read a poem, or a short story then a 5 letter caption to a pre-selected image. As well like above it could also be a song, or some form of literature. I'm also pretty sure that people will write a poem/short story for a rank for themselves or everyone in general. It seems like it could be entertaining. --- Another thing you could do is have people take screenshots of the new HD mode, and make a caption off of that. This way it's different, but you still get your captions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danqazmlp Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I think the size of the competition needs thought. By that i mean how much is needed for the entry, i know personally if i needed to write over 10 lines or take mor than half an hour on the competition i probably wouldn't enter it. thats why something short like suggesting a new rank or a caption is good.

ValerieDoe Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hmm.. I agree with the Caption Contests, They are very exciting. Also, Here are a few Idea's. Some may have been said.

dsavi Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Short Story about How you like Runescape's New Graphics Poem Contest I have to be honest, I don't like either of those. The first one just isn't very exiting, and the second one, well, this goes for both actually, but not everyone here has sufficient English skills. Can't blame them, it isn't an easy language.

Ouchy Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I agree with the Short Story idea, but competitors should have more options on what to write about, maybe 5 possible topics, then just having one. In saying that, if there was just one then it would be easier to judge so it would be less bias on contestants. The caption contest sounds good however, as everyone has the chance to join in, not just people with good computer,graphics, writing skills etc. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Stories and anything else that includes a lot of reading isn't a good idea. You have to think about the judging part of the contest. How many entries do the Staff get? Usually around 75-250 or so. Now can you imagine the Staff all reading 75-250 short stories? And no offense, but I'm sure a number of them aren't even very interesting (since not everyone on the forum is a writer, but most people want a chance at the custom rank). Thats just.. not reasonable. Here are a few of my random ideas/thoughts: [*:11pj8gjy]I agree with Laikrob about creating new ranks. It was brought up before and is a fun idea. [*:11pj8gjy]Re-design the Tip.it logo (it wouldn't actually be used, but it could be a lot of fun). [*:11pj8gjy]Create a Tip.it Mascot that best represents our website/forum. [*:11pj8gjy]Caption contests are always fun, as a few other people have suggested. It was done about a year ago, but I guess it could be done again if that's what people want most. I may add more later. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shazarabbit Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I agree with Tripsis , we don't want anything that will require excessive going over. It would take too much time to go over. I do like caption contests but maybe we could take a different approach. I really like the mascot idea :D Proud Tip.It Moderator December 07 - October 2009Proud TETAU Member 2006 - 2007 <3"I had a standing agreement with god.
