OMG YES FOLKS THAT'S RIGHT CREATE YOUR OWN SUPER HERO WITH THE SUPER HERO MACHINE PROGRAM! I decided to start this contest because NOBODY ELSE WOULD! Wooooo!
Here's the Hero Machine program.
I realize that some people might feel offended if they post an entry and nobody votes for it, so they'll cry. Just so nobody can play favorites, all entries should be sent to me with AIM (I am Stenfast on AIM) or YIM (I am zurg_ling90 on YIM) and I will post them here anonymously. You can also post the hero here with your own anonymous account. Anonymous as in nobody knows that account and won't go "Hey, I know that guy! I will vote for him!"
Limit one entry per person. All entries must be created by the Hero Machine program.
To send an entry, take a picture of it and save it as an image file such as a .png or .gif. To take a picture of your screen, press the SysRq or Print Screen button. Then paste it into an image-editing program like IrfanView and save it as a small-sized image file (no bitmaps, they take megabytes). You don't have to cut out all of the stuff around your hero such as your Windows task bar or your web browser.
If you don't know where to host your image, you can use Image Shack. You don't even need to make an account. It's fast and free, baby! When you send me the link to the picture with AIM or YIM, tell me who you are on the MoFo. I will associate that name with the entry you send when I declare the name of the winner.
If you post the picture by yourself (REMEMBER, DO IT ANONYMOUSLY with an account nobody will recognize) don't talk or anything because people might identify you by your poor grammar.
It has thusly been declared that entries may be sent to me with EzInbox.
SO HERE ARE THE RULES:
Hero must be an image file. I've already described exactly how to do this and where to host it. If you have any other questions about applying, post them in this topic.
One entry per person.
If you post an entry by yourself (I'd recommend only doing this if I'm not online) you must tell me who you were when you posted the entry and your REAL account on the MoFo. Otherwise, the entry will not be counted, no matter how good. If I'm away, you can still send me an entry via YIM or AIM. When I get back, I'll post the image in the topic.
HOW PEOPLE WILL VOTE:
MoFoers will look at the picture and then say "I vote for this picture (name of picture here)" in their response. This will count as ONE point for that hero. Please don't vote for yourself or vote twice.
If someone posts an entry that you like and you have already voted, you are allowed to change your vote. You are still not allowed to vote twice. Remember, don't cry if you lose the contest. There can be only one winner and it sadly can't be me. Although it should be. I could just declare myself the winner! But I won't.
At the beginning of the next Monday (when I get online, I mean) I will count the votes and declare the real winner!
ARE YOU CONFUSED? Damn straight you are.
Here are some of my heroes that I have created with the Hero Machine program. Do not vote for these. I am not allowed to enter the contest, being the host and all.
Wraith
Soldier
Skeleton
If you have any comments or questions, message me or post them in this topic.
EDIT: I didn't read that correctly, so here's a tip: Next time you do some international flying, don't bring
along extra sugar. And definitely don't bring it along in large, duct-taped
plastic bags.
You ought to let people contact you using the Ezboard instant messenger...
Plus, link to this topic in your sig, advertise a bit.
And maybe you ought to of done this in Carnie Island???
Anyway, good luck for the contest
Good job. You moved the topic full of nonsense posts. That was a great idea, about as useful as making a copy of a blank piece of paper. You want to know what's even better? I can't retrieve the URLs for the two contest entries and so I can not move them over here. A grand way to screw up everything, Shadow Hog.
EDIT: Well, no thanks to <THIS STATEMENT HAS BEEN CENSORED>, I put the images on ImageShack so I could move them over here. Poor Image Shack and their easy-to-use service. How do they manage to host so many images for free?

Oh shut up. I did what I thought worked best, and given that SOME discussion had started here (and it was the older topic) it worked fine.
Besides, you're in no position to talk. I've seen what you were saying over at that topic Kixxle posted. If you don't want a nice little ban on your belt I'd advise you to lose the attitude.
What I did worked perfectly and you screwed it up. If you read what Rico said, which you obviously didn't, you'd know that Kixxle was illuminator and we were both yelling at eachother to see what the community would do, which happened to be nothing sans Rico.
It only HAPPENED to be nothing because I wasn't present to give the lot of you warnings and be done with it. That "stunt" was completely uneeded and, really, if it hadn't been for Rico's explanation I really WOULD have thought that to be a full-out flamewar.
And regardless, you DON'T just make two topics. This is just common sense. You keep it to ONE topic and if it's in the wrong place, you ask for it to be moved. You do NOT up and move it yourself.
I don't give a crap how insulted you are that I locked the newer topic and moved the older one - which, by the way, I think MOST of us would've done - you're just going to have to put up with it.
This is like that time I made a topic about ZDaemon and you kept being annoying in it, along with TheCycle.
Well yeah, considering at that point it sounded like you were actively advocating piracy ("OMG OMG YUO CAN DOWNLAOD ALL THE WADS FROM THE PORGRAM! GET DOOM 4 FREE!" - not exact in the slightest, but same kinda idea), and that's blatantly against the rules.
I'm doing my damned job, Pregga. If you can't stop being so snobby about how you're above the rules, then I'd like you to get the hell off the forum.
It was already settled that what I was doing was perfectly legal and that Doom .wads can be downloaded off of the internet without any legal penalties. And why do you have to keep responding in this topic? I can't wait for your next exciting response! But I won't respond to it because I'd like people to join the contest and you're still just making it worse.

PWADs, yes. You were talking IWADs, though and THOSE are for sale. Just because they can be downloaded off the Internet doesn't make it right. I could download Quake off the Internet, but id's still selling it commercially, so what I would've done there is illegal. Hence, I HAD to stop it.

To point out to you that no matter how much flaunting you're doing, you are NOT above the rules so you can stop whining about the fact I was simply fixing things. The fact that, after pointing that out and hoping that would be enough, you keep whining about how much of an annoying prat I am doesn't help matters, either. No matter WHAT the topic is I have the right to take action if it's called for.
Contest or no contest, Pregga, you're acting like an elitist "above-the-rules" troll, and I'm not going to put up with it.
Sorry, but I really had to respond. No, it wasn't illegal. The demos cost nothing and all you need to play Doom online is a Doom demo such as doom1.wad. You didn't put a stop to my ZDaemon topic, you just when in there, said crap about how ZDaemon isn't the only online Doom tool and how you only like single player anyway and you were being off-topic. If you're going to ban anyone, you should ban yourself. I'm sure you'll figure out why so there's no need to ask as I have already explained it and it is clearly implied.
Can I warn him for taking his own topic off-topic?

It is my topic. I could rename it "Pregga Zexas rants!" Then it'd have to be relocated to the SPA, wouldn't it? Anyway, back to me begging people to join my contest. Nobody's even voted yet, man.
Err, yeah. If this topic is going to stay open can it please go in the direction it was meant to? If anything else is going to go on between Pregga and whoever else, keeping it in private would be much more organised.
Before this topic may return to its regularly intended topic, I have some comments to make regarding some things:
1) If you have a problem with something a mod/admin has done, you register your complaint in Emerald Visitor Center. I do not want to see complaints within a discussion topic. When I see them, the member in question is asking for warnings.
2) Shadow Hog did EXACTLY as instructed to do as per MY written guidelines for the mods/admins and it doesn't get any higher than instructions from myself or Vec. If you don't like it, that is YOUR problem. His engaging of you to explain why he did what he did is not being off-topic when you yourself started complaining about him as he is allowed to defend himself if he so chooses. However, considering it is you with the problem, re-read #1 for what you're supposed to do about it because you will get a warning for not doing what #1 says while he is in the clear.
3) Being the creator of a topic does not give you license to take it off topic, particularly for complaining. Anyone can be told to stay on topic. If you don't like that, re-read #1 for what you're supposed to do about it.
Other things of recent note:
4) In regards to the "pranking" business going on, I haven't had a chance to ask around about it yet, but I will. All of those involved are begging to be punished in some manner, whether it's a warning or a ban, if it continues in any way. This is your only warning on the matter and I suggest you all spread it around or else you'll find me banning you and you won't know why and I won't care.
5) There is a very strict legal/illegal policy at this board. If there's even a slight question about it, it is going to be considered "illegal." If you feel something is wrongly considered illegal, re-read #1 for what you're supposed to do about it.
6) Reminder, behaving is required for continued posting. I have no concerns on whether or not someone wants to continue posting here. However, if a certain decorum is not adhered to while here, the posting privileges (posting is not a right) will be removed, possibly even permanently.
7) If anything that was said above is not clear to anyone or someone has questions, make sure you post in Emerald Visitor Center. I consider the previous matter "closed" for the topic. All subsequent posts better be about the "Create a Super Hero Contest" or else warnings/bannings will be handed out depending on the individual's current warning status or behavior in terms of not following the main topic as some infractions are worse than others.
Have a nice day everyone.
