Re: Competition of the Month - July! (We have a wiener!)

Post by Argonanza »

Welcome one and all to the Competition of the Month!

These monthly competitions are a chance for you to demonstrate your creativity and talents while getting a chance to know your fellow members and have a little fun. Each month is going to have a different theme and a different talent – and maybe a surprise or two!

The basic rules are as follows:
Spoiler:
» Members can contribute pieces based on the talent (writing, art, screenshots, etc.) and theme during the submission period, after which no further entries will be accepted. Then we will vote via a poll to see who gets to wear that month’s winner’s badge!

» If you are posting artwork, please post a link from an off-forum website such as Photobucket; if you are posting a written piece, please hide it under a spoiler when creating a new post. This is to ensure that posts are not too long and the thread appears orderly for everyone. If you are unsure how to do either of these, don’t be afraid to ask!

» Be respectful and polite about your fellow members’ work. Anyone who says anything rude about another’s work will be hearing from a member of the Mod Squad and may not be allowed to participate in the next competition. There is no such thing as “good” or “bad,” and everyone has a unique way of demonstrating his or her talents. Enjoy the variety!

» All members are welcome to join, including moderators. Don’t forget that we’re members, too!
Come up with your very own ES-related word! (as suggested by our very own Musicman!)
Musicman247 wrote:How about making up your own word to describe something in an ES game?

You would give the word and then your definition.

Example: Dhovakeen - being the savior of Nirn and only wanting to work your Smithing skill.

Our schedule for the July event is as follows:
July 25: Competition begins! Start planning and send in those submissions!
July 26 – July 30: Voting period – vote for your favorites!
July 31: Our winner is announced!

Remember that the CotM is not possible without you, so please participate, contribute, discuss, and vote!

(This fun event is hosted by Argonanza. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them within this thread or by sending him a PM by selecting the appropriate button below his signature. Have some suggestions on what you'd like to see? Head over to the ideas thread and join in on the discussion!)

Less a word, more a term:

Don't mistake lack of talent for genius.

My reservation with PM voting is that not all users can vote via PM because not all can actually use PMs, but I guess that's not a huge problem as they would need to be confirmed one way or another. From personal experience, polls are also easier to keep track of then PMs for the host. Either works fine though.
