I understand that going through every single link for Imgur and what not is extremely tedious and its awesome that you guys are willing to do that but I gave a link for my picture because that what it said in the rules to do. I wasnt trying to be lazy or anything and im sure most other people were not trying to be either.

We're not disqualifying any that are huge. But if you couldn't take the time to figure out how img tags work on a forum than that's your problem. There's thousands and thousands of posts in that thread, we're not gonna click each of those many many links one at a time to view them just because some people were too lazy to figure out how img tags work or whatever. If you were worried about your image being too big nothing was stopping you from using [thumb] or [t] tags, either. All linking did was make our job extremely tedious.

[Iron Oxide]

Any plan on doing another contest?

[Watchmen]

Just a quick question will the winners be posted up or will it be a private message of the key

It said to post it. Posting it means to use the actual tags meant for posting images.

I have a big monitor, and to fully see some of these pictures I would have to zoom to 5% or so. Use [thumb] [/thumb], not standard image tags.

i play on a 42 inch monitor lol and the images were still to big for my screen lol in 1080p

[Sugabug]

So exciting waiting to see who wins. :)

1920x1080, while good for gaming, isn't actually that high res in the computer world and the physical size of your TV/monitor wouldn't make a difference in this instance.

Here's a screenshot from a 15" laptop that supports 2880x1800 and even when using that resolution, I still had to side scroll on some of those gargantuan images.

[Mardorz]

Thanks for the thread understanding the rules better. Are you going through page by page

[-Jack-]

I understand that you guys don't want to click every link, but i have to say, that the rules didn't say anything about a link. I was thinking about it and thought that that might happen, but since you banned some postings of a link cause the picture didn't fit the rules, it clearly appeared you would consider & judge pictures posted via links too.

No, it wouldn't. It would cause even more problems because people would get upset at us if they felt their picture was better than any of the winners. The forum doesn't need that right now. If you don't get PM'd a key you'll know you didn't win.

Edited:

You guys have a lot of work to do.


No. We divided the thread into sections and split it up amongst a few of us moderators, we'll finish when we finish and we'll let people know when that happens, but it could be a few days.

Postal, may I ask you how many keys you will give out, my drawing may not be the best but am I still able to eventually win a key or will it just be given away to like 10-15 people out of those thousands of entries which was the best of the best?

No shit sherlock holmes, that's not what I asked buddy, I asked how many keys will be given away I know it is obviously not a giveaway where everyone will win even if you drew like crap and diden't put a lot of effort into your drawing, but how many alpha keys are we talking about that was my question, will it be 10, or 1000 who get's a key?

I feel for the moderators who have the job of looking through the pictures. 80% of drawings were probably stickmen, and another 10% probably didn't even comply to the rules in the OP.

remember that one of the mods said that the humor also counted, and remember, the first winners drew stick figures, but they won because it was so damn funny

This has to be the first post that actually shows intelligence and maturity that I've seen coming from someone who joined within the last two month.

I was reading this post and I agree to what you're saying, at the same time I realise the picture above is my own... What are the odds? XD

Downscaled mine at imgur when I saw all those massive pictures! I don't understand why people don't just edit their posts and make their pictures abit more pleasing for the watching eyes.

The odds are NEVER in our favor :P

Right, well I focused on the part where you said that you're drawing wasn't the best. If it isn't good, or inventive it probably won't win a key. However I want to know the same as you whether there is a cap on how many keys will be given out via the drawing contest.

[Illeism]

I drew a picture is there anywhere i can post it so it will be entered in the contest it took me a while and i was 1 day late to upload it.

[Fabulus]

Why wouldn't it be? As long as we can see it without having to jump through hoops it's fine.

*At the moment we are judging pictures we can actually see, and I'm sorry to say that the people who failed to use image tags will be disqualified
what are image tags is that the blue link that takes you to a different page or does that mean the drawing is in the post were you can see it without having to go to imgur or something like it

So my drawing will not be opened from imgur and not be judged???

Not if you didn't take the time to learn how img tags work.

calm down go kick a ball outside or something

Well the issue with my drawing was that i had my pm turned off. I didn't know that they were disabled by default. I turned it on as soon as i found out.

[MrEdtruction]

When I saw the forum post I jumped right to my desk and started drawing my picture. Sucks that not knowing how to use [thumb] or [img] got me disqualified.

Just want to point something out, people were posting other people's pictures and claiming it was theirs, kinda pissed me off since most of the pictures I saw before me were just stolen. Especially the ones that had probably 4-5 hours worked on, gone to waste due to the fact that one guy blurred out the username of someone else's picture (even though right after i posted mine, forgot to put my username ._.).

wat u doing? If you cant put a picture in without having to go to a link you are simply retarded, or just lazy as fuck. I love the admins/mod on this example postal, they just ban retards on this who are too lazy too read shit, and are doing everything in the most retarded way possible to get a key, mostly spamming and stealing shit, they obviosly see who copied an image, so dont worry about that, those people will just get permabanned, which is good, just get rids of more retards... Tell me what page ur pic was on, i wanna know so badly, because i bet 2 camels its shit. Also there is an icon which you can hover over and says INSERT THE MOTHERFUCKING IMAGE, or just use a website which does it automatically for you... You had 2 things to do in your post... 2. Put a date and your name, if you are not capable of that, you do not deserve to TEST, NOT PLAY this game.

[SolidOwlPL]

A common sense thing to do would be inserting the image so its viewed on the forum and a link under.

That's about 30 sec of work if you are unable to do that then there isn't really a need of you playing the game, as it needs testers that are able to report bugs and that are capable of contributing towards the game development.
