Flying Ninja Monk · Mar 15, 2011, 05:24 PM // 17:24

Ohwow
You guys rule!! Just want to say

I'm currently making snapshots and stuff, and also thinking of a game

But first and foremost, thanks alot for organizing this

ShaJiexi · Mar 16, 2011, 12:16 AM // 00:16

Contest 1:
Theme 1: Darkness and Light

The "Light" pictures are my Mesmer, since I liked how the purple cast afterglow worked with the light, plus the animations. And it’s all about costumes and trickery, so I had to have at least one screenshot of her, due to the Mesmers/Lyssa connection

. Sort of a reversal for the monk, as a follower of Dwayna, but she looks good in black, and it fits with the idea of trickery too ^^

The second theme is Fire and Ice.

A hot/cold, blue/red duality. Hope you guys like it, Murakai nuked me and I lost my survivor progress in order to get the fire screenshots, but I was still fired up enough to roar with the soaring flames.

Contest 2: Photo Ops! We’ve all got costumes, plus tonics. Make conga lines and get in formation for crazy screenshots- lines of Thriller-dancing candywomen and tapdancing elves, plus we can make cool designs on the steps with our characters, such as spelling GWEN or the names of the sponsoring guilds for screenshot keepsakes. Bring minipets for more craziness. Sync jumping and dancing for screenshots is also a plus- anything goes, just see what kind of stuff people want to make. Plus, conga lines! And dancing! Plus, it looks great on video, since it has lots of people moving around in an organized fashion.
Also, since players can come up with their own ideas, it’s one of the few games that we could do for any length of time (Simon Says tends to get boring real quick), and would require the participation of everyone. It also has the benefit of being cooperative instead of competitive, so everyone wins by getting cool videos and screenshots instead of just one fast/lucky dude.

Contest 3
ringaei is Igraine
arubin is Burian
amroakid is Mordakai
onvdae is Devona
gtsaoin is Agostin
Erlbdnae gkni is King Adelbern
Cinepr ikrur is Prince Rurik
All members of Ascalon’s Chosen, one of the guilds in the Lore.

Everyone seems to have this #3 covered, perhaps switch it, but have contestants PM their answers? It would prevent copying from others (though it wasn't that hard, since you gave us gkni, which makes the rest easier to solve!)

I can totally picture your Mesmer holding the Shard of Brilliance.

I tried that, but it looked like crap (background too black), so I used a "makeover", and it still looked like crap. I'll try again once I get more white dyes, it's a good idea, if someone can implement it better than I

Edit: Two new ideas for the game (contest 2), since half an hour is a long time to use up. You can only sync jump and sync drop snowmen so many times (though plenty of combinations for awesome sync dancing lines with costumes/tonics!).

Rock Paper Scissors tournaments! Pair off and have fun. Actual brackets and prizes would be a PITA to organize with more than 16 people, so screw it and have fun!

Scavenger hunts: takes more people and preparation on your guys' part, but could be fun. Might also be too similar to mythic relay.

Another version of Simon Says: another poster suggested using armor pieces, but just emotes is easier and looks better on the screen (roaring vs armor swapping).

Nude Beach Parties/Surprise parties! We leave Ascalon ID1, and travel to little-used outposts, where we group /rank and dance around unsuspecting players. Normally boring sifhalla gets 30 seconds of craziness, and before people realize what's going on, we've moved on (after advertising the party- and potentially bringing in even more guests, great in-game advertising!) We can also visit Spamadan or other cities for grabbing more guests, just have 20 people hit trade chat with "Free booze and tonics in XXXX, bring a sense of humor and a costume, courtesy of Myth and Legends!".

good events)

Flying Ninja Monk · Mar 17, 2011, 07:28 PM // 19:28

Contest 1:
Still Unprepared

Contest 2:
(a) Ugliest Armour

Basically, people must combine their armour sets to make the ugliest possible combination, with fugly glitch clipping and all.

(b)Funniest reason why...

Basically, hosts take a GW fact, and party attendees must think of the funniest reason why it happened/happens.
e.g. Host: Why does FoW look like a teapot for rits?
Could also be a question like:
How did Cynn and Mhenlo meet?

(c)Most hilarious builds

Aha i don't think i even need to explain this P: Basically players must send/make funny builds to the hosts who can rate them (and hopefully laugh their asses off)

Can't think of any more atm but if i do... I'll post with contest 2

Lensor · Mar 18, 2011, 07:20 PM // 19:20

This is Indys Nightmare a.k.a. "The Beast" RAWR!
(can you see how impressed Livia is?)

Indys thinks that a good idea for a game would be a costume dressing race! Teams of 6, one of which is the "Mannequin".

The Mannequin gives his/her outfit to a moderator (5 pieces). The moderators dyes the outfit in a "secret" color (so teams should not choose outfits with expensive dye jobs..) and gives one piece to each of the other team members at the opposite side of the outpost. At a given signal all teams race to their mannequin. Sugar rush allowed! The first team to
1) Get the mannequin dressed (remember to show headgear!).
And
2) Manage a perfect sync roar.
wins!

In other news, Indys is not amused by some people's deceitful ways. Luckily, he is smarter than all, so was able to discern their true identities:

ringaei = Igraine
amroakid = Mordakai
arubin = Burian
Erlbdnae gkni = King Adelbern (a.k.a. Kind Addlebrain)
onvdae = Devona (who never called Indys back after that one time. Women..)
gtsaoin = Agostin
Cinepr ikrur = Prince Rurik (the cur!)

These individuals are all All members of the wannabe guild Ascalon’s Chosen. Bah, chosen!

I haven't missed the registration yet have I? I hope not.

dealaka · Mar 22, 2011, 10:28 PM // 22:28

Contest #1

Theme; Everyone is preparing for the future of guild wars, but few people are ready for the fight the dragons will bring. One must not only be deadly, but stylish as well.

Love from the edge of the world
XOXO
from Lady Alexis Deamore

Contest #2 - Best Game Idea
Catch the Cold!
Players: 6 to 40 (More then that requires lots more judges)
Setup: Judge, One X Player, Players

Rules: Players have 1 chance to guess who is actually sick (per player). If they're wrong they are removed from the game. Once per turn the person whom is sick is allowed to 'infect' someone else. This person cannot speak or move, only nod yes and no to questions, and cannot reveal who got them ill. The game continues until everyone is infected or the 'originator' is caught.

What to tell players; Someone here at the party has a cold (or more serious disease). That person has come to have fun and wants to keep it a secret though. I have told the person who is sick to not reveal this. Your task is to discover whom is ill by telling me. Each person gets one guess If you accuse the wrong person, you will be asked to leave the party though.

Contest #3
Notes: gkni gave it away I think ^-~

ringaei - Igraine
amroakid - Mordakai (Devona's father)
arubin - Burian
Erlbdnae gkni - King Adelbern
onvdae - Devona
gtsaoin - Agostin (Vanyi's father)
Cinepr ikrur - Prince Rurik

All are known members of Ascalon's Chosen.
Ascalon's Chosen is a legendary guild of Ascalon led by King Adelbern. During the Guild Wars, it met

with much success and was one of the few which stood above the wanton corruption amongst the guilds of that time.

Lord Espa · Mar 23, 2011, 02:46 PM // 14:46

Nice contest

My ign is Lord Espa

Contest Nr. 1

Theme is undead. I only have 2 masks so there wasn't any other option

Contest Nr. 2

Who am I?

You think of a famous NPC in Guild Wars.
You say something the NPC did or what he looks like or something like that.
The players have to guess who you have in your mind.

For example

You: I helped killing a great enemy of an empire.
A player: You are Vizu

This is a very easy example

Contest Nr. 3

ringaei = Igraine
amroakid = Mordakai
arubin = Burian
Erlbdnae gkni = King Adelbern
onvdae = Devona
gtsaoin = Agostin
Cinepr ikrur = Prince Rurik

They were all members of Ascalon's Chosen.

cursedseishi · Mar 24, 2011, 04:48 AM // 04:48

In-game Name: Deathbringer Seishi

Contest Nr. 1
Screenshot for the costume
Theme:A man of the North, while he may not be Norn in body, his heart yearns for the next great Hunt, and with only an axe in hand, he meets his adversaries and prey head-on, like a true Norn.

Contest Nr. 2
Greased-up Dragon Guy's Madness Chase Funtime!:
Greased-Up Dragon Guy is ready to run!
It wouldn't be "Madness" without the local tomfoolery of Greased-Up Dragon guy. Once a year, this man takes it upon himself to discard all but his undergarments, don his draconic mask (preferably, though rumors abound that he has used other crazy holiday masks before), grease himself up, and while hopped up on all the sugary drinks and confections he could get his slippery mitts on, run about wildly.
And now, he has arrived at sunny ole Ascalon City to share in the party. Its also spoken that for those who manage to capture him in a game of tag, receive one of the many random treats he stores in his knickers.

The rules of the game are simple. One person shall play Greased-Up Dragon Guy (Dragon mask not required, but a large mask of some sort is), and each round he uses a sugary item to gain the speed buff. Other players then attempt to "catch" him by getting close enough to open a trade window with him. A round ends every time he is caught, and first person to catch him 3 (or 5) times is then the winner. Winner of what though? That is dependent on what is available, random mini-pets to spare, bits of platinum coin, sweets and alcohol even.

If there is a large number of people, G.U.D.G. is allowed to recruit others as Honorary Dragon Guys, who will also run about in their knickers to be caught by playes.

Contest Nr. 3

"ringaei" is Igraine
"amroakid" is Mordakai
"arubin" is Burian
"Erlbdnae gkni" is King Adelbern
"onvdae" is Devona
"gtsaoin" is Agostin
"Cinepr ikrur" is Prince Rurik

All of them were members of the famous guild, "Ascalon's Chosen", made mention of in both in-game areas, as well as short stories found on the Guild Wars page.

stephash · Mar 24, 2011, 06:32 PM // 18:32

Going for all 3 contests ^^

IGN: Ivory Rinali

Contest #1

Theme: Mistress of the Torment

Always thought the torment looked awesome ^^ Maybe because I love purple so much

Contest #2

Hard to come up with game ideas for inside GW, so I'll shoot for one that I haven't seen done before ^^ It's kind of like hide and seek on a larger scale. Someone is picked and sent to some town, America district to make it harder. The seekers do not know the hider's name or what they are wearing at first. Clues are given out 1 by 1 about the town they are in, the armor they are wearing, or the person's name, etc. Starting with the hardest clue and working to the easiest until the dead give away clue. Might make it a little harder to not have the person in the same guild as the sponsors. Just an idea since I've never seen this one done, but maybe I just missed it ^^

Contest #3

Ringaei=Igraine
Amroakid=Mordakai
Arubin=Burian
Erlbdnae Gkni=King Adelbern
Onvdae=Devona
Gtsaoin=Agostin
Cinepr Ikrur=Prince Rurik

They are all part of the legendary guild, Ascalon's Chosen.
