Title: Artsy Fartsy Contest Idea :)
Post by: Metalxdelights on March 17, 2014, 10:44:20 AM
I've been thinking about holding an artsy contest but I'm not sure how many people would actually participate so I'm posting here to see how many people would. Just comment and let me know please :)

The contest would be a Life counter Abacus creation contest. So basically, create a life counter abacus, post a completed picture on the contest post and maybe a note with your handle on it (so I know you made it) and then myself and maybe a willing mod can pick the best one. Winner would recieve 5 JIN or Theros boosters. Their choice :) And there will be a deadline so everyone has ample time to make one.

It's really your contest. You can always say we need a minimum of xx number of people. But sounds like fun. I'd say once you start more people will come out of the wood work.

True on both accounts, though i had debated on llama vs alpaca when writing and settled for alpaca after deleting llama, note the a rather than an

And I do know they are different as I am a llama owner, though i claim them all as my brethren
lol it would be awesome to own a llama. i start a sentence then change words all the time my gramar mistakes are way worse then your was lol

I usually check before I post and still miss something. With my former AP English 4 teacher's essay grading system you'd think I'd never make a spelling error.

She 1.) Made us write 20+ page essays ("I'm preparing you young people for college) then 2.) took off 10-20 points for grammatical, punctuational and spelling errors. I nearly died when I got my first -10. She just put a 0 in the grade book. The negative was placed on your paper to make you feel like crap lol.

Gah!  I have an awesome idea, but I am awful at metal work.  And artistry when it comes to painting.  And woodwork...

Yeah...  I don't think this is a contest for me.
