PPT Neopian Gamer Contest Thing
Tue Sep 28, 2004 7:08 am
Okay, welcome all who are reading this. I would like to celebrate reaching a milestone in neopets with this contest.
How it works
There will be aprox. 20 contestants (maybe more maybe less depending on popularity). Every 4 or 5 days I will be posting three games from neopets. The contestants will have 4-5 days time to try and get their best possible score in these games. Please take a screen shot for proof. The two people with the two lowest scores will be eliminated each round until there are only two contestants left. At this point I will choose two games and the two last people will battle it out for the grand prize of 40k (yeah sort of crappy I know, but hey, you just have to play games!
).
Rules
-Anybody caught cheating will be disqualified.
-If fail to complete the round on time and don't PM me you will be autometicly eliminated. Sorry if there was a reason you couldn't, I know it is sort of unfair but I can't hold the whole contest up for one person as it would be unfair on the others.
-I can elimate anyone who I feel isn't cooperating and I can change the rules if I feel they need changing.
To register simply state in bold like so:: I would like to participate.
Now I can just feel I have left stuff out, becuase I haven't had this all planned or anything, so feel free to ask questions (and correct me on anything you think needs correcting).
Now SING UP people!
Note: minimum amount of people to start the contest is 18.

Woohoo two participants.
That is a good idea. It's late evening here so I shall make up a schedule tomorrow. It will be set in NST to make it easier for everyone.

Yeah sorry, mine is +10 or +12, I can't remember exactly. I say it is easier for everyone becuase if I say the round ends on "X" October 12am NST, then everyone can look it up on neo and it will be at the same time for everyone (sorry, bad explaining...meh 1amness).

It sounds quite fun, although there are quite a few games that I'm really bad at.
All I can do is hope you pick the games I'm good at in the first few challenges.

Keep the entries coming guys.
Okay I hope I can explain this good.
1. Get what you want to take the screen shot of (in this case your game score) clrealy on top of everything else you have open.
2. Press a button that has Print Screen written on it. It looks like this:
and can usually be found above your arrow keys and around the "home" and "insert" buttons.
3. Open up a program like Paint (easy one to use if you dont make graphics) or Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro and open a new document. Press Ctrl+V and your screen shot should appear.
4. Save it and upload it, then post it here.
Hope that describes it adequitly.

Maybe everybody should type their name across their screenshot so that there will be no cheating.
