It's time for yet another:

 

 

 

Rank Contest

 

 

 

That's right!

 

 

 

It's been a while since we had one. The reason is we were looking for something new and exciting.

 

And new and exciting it is.

 

This new contest it completely different than the ones before.

 

Here, we'll explain the rules of this contest.

 

 

 

First of all, in this contest, there are four winners instead of the usual three. (Two times two.)

 

 

 

What will we be doing?

 

Right now, we have two lovely pictures, only for the staff their eyes.

 

These picture are made by someone on the staff, meaning it can't be found on the internet, so don't bother searching.

 

No, they aren't even in a photobucket or imageshack or ... account.

 

 

 

These two pictures will be cut into pieces.

 

All these pieces will be spread over the boards.

 

They will be in random posts.

 

Don't worry though, they will always be found in the first post of a thread and the thread will be on the first or second page of a board. Most likely first, but you never know how fast the board goes.

 

 

 

You might wonder what keeps the poster of that thread from removing the picture.

 

Well, we'll make sure those threads can't be editted anymore by the original creator.

 

 

 

So after we've hidden all the pieces in threads, it's up to you all to search for them!

 

Once you find a piece, put it in MS Paint or something.

 

You will have to put these pieces together, as it's some sort of puzzle.

 

 

 

There will be two contest, on two different dates and times.

 

That way, we can reach the most amount of users.

 

Every contest will have one of the two pictures.

 

 

 

When you have collected all pieces and put them together, you must send it to me (Kill_Life).

 

The first two who send me the entire picture, put together correctly, wins the contest.

 

And as said before, since there are two contests, there are four winners!

 

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT:

 

It is forbidden to post the entire picture before the contest is over.

 

It is forbidden to post the place of a piece or the piece itself before the contest is over.

 

Breaking these rules will result in a temporarily forum ban.

 

 

 

It is allowed to work together (e.g. by PM).

 

Though note: The one who sends it in wins. It is possible that one wins and the other doesn't, then that's too bad.

 

We will not accept any excuses about the 'team mate' when you decided to work together.

 

Working together is at own risk. If (s)he cheats (by not revealing information), that's at own risk.

 

 

 

 

 

Dates and times:

 

 

 

Contest 1

 

July 12th

 

 

 

Contest 2

 

TBA

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and nothing is stopping us from making this a little bit harder ;)

 

 

 

 

 

(Dates and times will come. We just decided to post this a lot in advance so you have plenty of time to ask questions.)

This sounds interesting. Here's some of my questions:

 

How big would the pictures be?

 

How many pieces?

 

Will the threads that get pictures be randomly selected?

 

How long will it last for? Maybe someone needs to edit their thread.

Wow, this sounds really fun. Not sure if I will participate though.

This sounds interesting. Here's some of my questions:

 

How big would the pictures be? Not big

 

How many pieces? We're not spoiling that

 

Will the threads that get pictures be randomly selected? Yes, but they will be on page 1 or 2. Most likely page 1

 

How long will it last for? Maybe someone needs to edit their thread. Depends how fast someone finds all pictures. It's most unlikely someone will need to edit his post and else he can PM a mod.

Wish I could participate. :P

 

 

 

Have fun!

Better not pull a fast one and put a puzzle in the conclave where majority of us don't have access ;)

^ I'm pretty sure that the pictures are only in publicly viewable boards, as this is a public competition.

Once we solve the puzzle where do we send it?? Also are we going to need to turn the puzzle pieces or are they going to be correctly placed?

As far as i know, i think you need to pm the pieces (i doubt there's a preference on how they're laid out, as long as you have them all) to a separate account/admin.

Should be fun, i'll give it a go, but i'll probably be one of the last to find them all.

You won't need to turn the pieces, but you will need to paste them together in Paint or something.

Has this started? Or will it start at a later date?

From my interpretation it hasn't started yet, thus why this thread is here, in order to prep us or fill out any questions we may have about it beforehand.

I was pretty sure it hadn't started, but I just wanted to make sure.

(Dates and times will come. We just decided to post this a lot in advance so you have plenty of time to ask questions.)

 

 

 

It hasn't started yet.

 

 

 

It will most likely start in one month or so.

 

After the exams are over for most.

 

 

 

But we made this thread now so everyone can prepare and has plenty of time to ask questions.

Will there be more then one piece in each area?

Right now, we have two lovely pictures, only for the staff their eyes.

 

Wut?

 

 

 

Sounds fun especially for forum junkies like myself. I went into tifdrawl when it was down last night. It wasn't pretty.

Sounds like fun.

Will there be more then one piece in each area?

 

 

 

Perhaps.

 

Perhaps not.

 

 

 

You'll need to search :P

So the pictures can be found in any thread?

 

But it will be the first post of the mod in the thread that will post the picture?

 

 

 

And there it is only tipit mods who will post the pictures? Or crewbies etc...?

It can be found in any thread yes.

 

(But they will be either at page 1 or 2, those threads.)

 

 

 

And we'll edit them in posts, so it'll be in regular users their posts aswell.

 

 

 

Also, it will always be the first post of a thread.

So, in case i don't understand,

 

 

 

I have to collect all the pictures up, then wait for the contest to end then send it to you?

No, you collect the pieces, then put them together and send them to Kill_Life ASAP.

Best of luck everyone! Get your glasses on and ready for a battle. :)

Indeed, because the first two to send me the entire picture (All pieces pasted together) wins the contest.
