Post by: Yonkey on June 12, 2006, 08:13:54 PM
This is the opportunity for you to show us how much you love us!

We are having a contest where your work gets to be featured by TSL. The TSL team has gone on strike :o and the only way to get the team working again is to shower them with gifts! XD  This contest will be available from May 31st to July 30th, 2006 at the moment.
Please submit your creative thoughts during this period of time.

Late submissions or submissions that do not adhere to the contest rules will be eliminated.


General Rules:
To officially participate you must submit your entry to: contest@tsl-game.com. You have a limited time to submit your entries. You may submit as many entries as you like, but they must fulfill the requirements:


Your Present:


We will accept original videos, photos, music (or singing), poems, used napkins, puppies, food, cookies whatever you feel that would make THE best present that you could give the TSL Team. :P Remember, be creative and express your heart's desire!!

You may NOT reveal your submission in public. Once the winner has been chosen, he/she will be announced at the end of the contest and featured on the Home (http://www.tsl-game.com/) section of TSL site for one week, and permanently added to TSL's DeviantArt gallery (http://thesilverlining.deviantart.com).

Uhhh...hopefully you guys aren't ACTUALLY on strike...because that would...like suck and stuff.

Post by: Rosella on June 13, 2006, 03:11:00 AM
The only way to make sure is to send in stuff. ;)

I'll think about it, as I have so much to do now. (Write up a speech, get an award, projects, camp, work... Etc...) But it sounds really cool!
Title: Re: Present Contest
Post by: Say on June 13, 2006, 10:46:36 AM
Remember that this contest is NOT to be featured as a good artists more like the most creative effort presented.

We've received some VERY nice entries already but again, creativity is key as well as being addressed to US. Thanks for participating and I expect to see a lot more cool stuff within the next days :)


PARTICIPATE! :D

Oh, i already know that your just kidding about the strike thing, it's just a way to get presents, But do i have to give you a present?  ???Cause i don't really have any money to buy you a present that i can give you guys.

Do i have too? And if i do, can it be a empty soda can?  :P

Post by: Raforever on June 14, 2006, 11:07:33 AM
Just use your imagination, just do what you do best.
Can you draw? Scan it and send it
Good with a video camera? Do a little "trailer" ::)

Anything, the skies is no longer the limit. Aim for the stars, forget what others will think, the only ones that will see the gifts are the directors. There is no shame in trying, much less showing your love in any form you can find :)

Surprise them, be creative, show what your made off ;)
Title: Re: Present Contest
Post by: Yonkey on June 14, 2006, 11:12:49 AM
Don't forget, you can also send in written submissions.  Based on your ability to post, you're fully capable of typing. ;P

So, don't think that this contest is solely for the artistic.  Be creative! XD

As far as I know there isn't, but if the entry is really good (and based on the few entries we received so far, it looks like it will XD) then we may consider some kind of game-related prize. ;)

We will accept pretty much EVERYTHING as long as is not alive or dead :P or would be within any political or religious content.

We know Jesus love us and we don't care what Bush has got to say and we don't want any puppies or any dead birds.... we will accept cookies though :P

If you create something make sure you will get a GOOD photograph of it, could be clay, playdoh, an issued tissue, you wanna create a Cesar action figure or clone Neil, then GO for it!! whatever as long as it's original and catches our heart! :) <3

I bet I will hear amazing comments about it <3
It was creative AND excellent done

Although there are other entries which are concept related and they are simply amazing and BRILLIANT <3 *coughJafar'scough* :P Just WAY too cool lol <3

Thanks Yonkey since I didn’t hear back as to whether or not I could use your web material I took that as a hint. :S But thanks I’ll keep working on it. It’s not quite where I want it yet. (And I’m not sure where that is yet. It may never be.)

Thank you Say you’re very generous. :angel:

Deloria I don’t have a creative bone in my body :wall: and I’m honest about that. The few things I’ve done have all been by using pieces from other peoples creative talents. I had no intention on entering this contest but I had an extremely rare moment of inspiration (come to think of it I can’t remember the last one. :no:) while going through this site. If your posts are any indication, as I’m sure they are, you’re inspiration enough just let it out I’m sure it will be fantastic! :thumbsup:

I can’t wait to see everybody’s.

Thanks Yonkey since I didn’t hear back as to whether or not I could use your web material I took that as a hint. :S
Oh, sorry about that.  I didn't write you back because it's actually perfectly fine to use TSL media, and you did a great job at it. :)

I just wanted to make it clear for everyone else that while they are completely allowed to use TSL media, if they do a poor job at it (i.e. their entry lacks creativity and/or quality) their chances of winning end up being much slimmer than if they didn't use our media at all.  That's why it's risky, and should only be attempted by people that plan on putting their whole heart, time and energy into it. 8)

The contest ends July 30th, so hurry up and send your entries in! XD

Once the deadline hits, we will not be accepting late entries.  In fact, we most likely won't consider entries submitted on the 30th itself either due to lack of time, so send in your stuff asap! :)

Come one Deloria, remember this can be about anything. It doesn’t have to be KQ related.

Is there something/someone that you see, hear, touch that elicits an emotion? Then put it in words, a poem, a picture, or even a song. How about a combination like a picture with a poem?

If we stay with KQ, which you obviously have a passion for, what is it that you like about it and why. What’s the most emotion felt scene (or scenes) for you. Tell us about it and how it affected you. Make a picture of that scene. It doesn’t matter the level of artist you are you’ve seen all levels here and they’re all good. Why? Because they took the time and effort and did it, that’s good in my book.

Take you favorite KQ picture/s and write you own scene kind of like a little play or skit.

Is there something non-KQ that makes you think of KQ? What is it and what does it make you think of?

This is all I can think of without actually saying too much to get you disqualified but hopefully this will help. This isn’t my forte so if anybody else can come up with things to think about without actually giving out something please do. I’m sure there are other people who could use the help too. (I’m normally one of them.)

Hello everyone! ;D

Say and I wanted to show you guys that you don't have to be world acclaimed artists in order to win this contest.  Here are some examples of what we mean by being creative. :)

(http://www.postudios.com/pub/presents/picExample.jpg) (http://www.postudios.com/pub/presents/songExample.mp3)
Day You Were Gone (Song Example) (http://www.postudios.com/pub/presents/songExample.mp3)

In any case, I just wanted to show people that you can really be creative as you wish for this contest.  We're not expecting artwork that's a duplicate of what we have already, we want something unique and creative. ;D

What I thought I had finished in two days has turned out to be quite the project; of course starting with an erroneous template didn’t help. :wall: :stars: I’ll probably be sending you a third revision soon as I have just made some more minor tweaks to clean it up some more. Hopefully then I create the next one which unfortunately requires the first to be done. We’ll see.

Keep working your projects folks we need to have it in before the 30th.

(Hoping to see everybody’s entry posted.)

Post by: Yonkey on July 29, 2006, 05:49:30 AM
Unfortunately, it doesn't play on mine either.  And since Say doesn't have Flash 8, I seriously doubt it will on hers.

Try to convert it to a .SWF, .EXE, .MPG, .AVI, .MOV and then Zip or Rar the file so that it's under 5MB.

Ok guys, today is the last day to submit.  If your stuff isn't in by midnight tonight EST, it will not be considered. :)

Hehe yeah, I only got the Fan's Quest 45 minutes before the deadline and it was missing a *.dll, so there wasn't any time for me to play it or even discuss it with Say (who also loved it BTW ;D). 

Bushie's Mote was awesome! XD How long did it take you to make that, Bushie?

And of course Kimmie, your video was so awesome it had to make it.  It was originally 12MB I think, and even though I was able to convert it to a .swf, it was still 10MB (probably because I didn't use the right conversation settings :P).  So, I uploaded it to my Google Video account instead. :)  But to comment on the vid itself, I actually had Girl in the Tower stuck in my head for hours hahahahah!
