Non UC members concerning the contest so you know whats up
by Mariel on Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:35 pm
Those of you reading our forum may wonder what this talk of a contest is, I have created an in guild photo contest and will post the rules as well as the locations in a couple of days if any of our non UC readers are interested in seeing what we are up to. Unfortunitly i am not making this a non-guild event because i am offering 1000 gold of my personal money to fund this.

Sounds like fun and I look forward to see what's doing. and that's an impressive prize. 
I may have to think up a 1001g contest just so that I'm not left in the dust.

This is going to be a photo contest; I have a list of 50 locations in the game. This list will be posted in a couple of days. So this is the rules;
1. You will need to go to the Noise section of the forum and create your own post with your character name on it.
2. All your photos will be posted there, so if you have questions about how to post wow screenshots please ask now.
3. There will be a possible 50 pictures to take, with a time limit of 1 month to complete all pictures. (The first one done will not likely be the winner so remember it is not a race, but rather a contest for ascetically pleasing pictures.)
4. You will be award points of 1-3 scale of how difficult the picture was to get. (Obviously rogues and druids have an advantage to getting into some areas and points will be adjusted accordingly. If you post a note under your photo that stealth was not used, then your score will be adjusted accordingly.)
5. There will also be an artistic scale 1-3 that will net you points for being astatically pleasing. (I will be the sole judge of these points as well.)
6. There will be an additional 1 point award for answering the question that goes along with the picture location. (I went these answers sent in a private message to me and a maximum of 1 question per day answered. This means that there are more questions than days of the contest so pick and choose the ones that you want to answer. Finally some of the solutions are easy to find on the internet, please don'tuse these sites. )
7. This makes it a possible 7 point per picture, with a 337 points total. (since not all pictures have questions)
8. There is a number next to each picture please post the number with the picture it will help me out alot.
