Greetings everyone,

So, I don't know if the mods feel like keeping this topic unlocked or whatever. I don't know if ANYONE is going to participate, so here goes nothing:
The Big Coat Of Arms Contest!

So, what is this about? Simple! Each contestant must try to make the best "Coat Of Arms" in game for a certain "volunteering" tribe. The best "Coat Of Arms" will be chosen by votes of our great, noble and fair community of Tribal Wars. I'm not certain HOW we will manage the voting system, since, apparently, we do not have the permission to create polls, but I'm sure we'll come up with something in time :>.
The Rules Of The Big Coat Of Arms Contest
- Each contestant must choose at least one of the tribes that officially made a COA request on these forums. The more you make, the more chance that one of your COA's will be selected as "THE" best COA!

- Each contestant must work individually (aka: Alone, without help from other people).

- The COA's may contain images that are not created by you. You must, however, provide a link to the images that you have used. Try to avoid images that are copyright protected! No seriously, don't use those!

- The contestants must write a small description about the work they delivered.

- Each COA needs to be watermarked (aka: Signed) by the creator. This watermark may be removed when the contest is over. Not before!

- When you finish your COA, send the required information and links to me, in a private message ON THESE FORUMS (NOT in game! Who knows what happens in that time :>?).

- Everyone is allowed to participate. You didn't make images/COA's/whatever before? So what! Participating is more important then winning!

- When the competition ends, I'll probably make some kind of poll somewhere. I will notify you guys in time ;>.

The Contest Results

Scuzzi
MIND
"Above you can see chaos and disorder. Randomness. In the centre is the eye, insightful & controlled, seeing the chaos and making sense out of it. Heightened intuition and clarity. Such is the gift of the psychic."

INSOMANIACS
"I must admit, at first glance I thought this said INSOMNIACS. So I started this project on that theme. I’ll explain the thought process and how it relates to the ACTUAL theme.

The most common cause of Insomnia is an overworked and overwhelmed mind. When we overthink everything and don’t deal with it, the mind becomes too active to allow the body to rest. The graphic here depicts that active mind – stress, mental tension, perhaps neurological disorder.

And so to the actual theme: INSOMANIACS

There is an almost maniacal disorder seen here, and it can be equated to either physical, mental or emotional state of being.

I’m sorry it is not blended, but I felt that blending it too much would lose the impact of the symbol."

JayDie
RKR
"To be honnest, I'm not really happy with the result, but that doesn't surprise me as I didn't put much work into it. I think RKR will be happy, though (I hope).
It's hard to combine ROME and KNIGHTS together, so I've choose to stick to the ROME theme a bit more. I barely had to do anything, as the image I used was nice enough.
I tried to make a marble like thing to add some text on it. I hope you guys find it better then I do :>.

Apparently yeah...
If I want to make multiple CoAs, I need to sign in multiple times?
 

DeletedUser

Guest
So I have to sign up to make one?

Um, yeah that's the point :>. But as a contestant you can't sign up yet until the tribes have stopped signing up :>.

Oh I forgot to mention the price: 5 premium points. Might be more. Depends on how happy I am at the moment :>.

No, you sign up once and just mention the Tribes that have signed up on the list for which you will make a COA. :>

Guest
so are you asking tribes to sign up for people to make them COA then we vote on the best one ?
 

DeletedUser

Guest
Yes. I know their are kind of strange rules etc... but I think it might get funny :>.

Me, of course. It would be kinda lame if I let other people pay for my contest don't you think :icon_rolleyes:. It's a nice idea however... . Mmmm. ^^

Honestly, signing up sounds pretty pointless. :/

Well, maybe yes... . Depends on how you look at it :/. The tribes that participate are part of the jury of course. They have to give a detailed review in how happy they are with the COA that was created. As I said, the rules are pretty hard to understand (even for me, to give you an idea).

If you have suggestions however, you are always allowed to post them :>.

I like JayDie's imagination and creativity; good on you...

I think a CoA is pointless however.. i'll prob be rimmed tomorrow... so don't take my advice seriously
