MEGAEGG: An Easter Egg Design Speggtacular
Brought to you by the Community Team

Greetings fellow Clubbers,


Here is a new take on our design contests that you've seen before. With the new Inventory addition, the winner of this contest will have their image displayed as an Event Inventory Item - like the Conquer Clovers and Conquer Hearts that you've seen on Saint Patrick's Day and Valentine's Day.

Here's the task: Design an Easter egg that you'd like to see integrated into the Inventory system. All entries will be sent anonymously to an panel of TeamCC users where the winner will be determined.

This is the first activity in the upcoming MEGAEGG event. For participating in this contest you score inventory Eggs for use in MEGAEGG (that might include your own egg if you are a winner!).

Prizes:
1st place - 15 Eggs and a General Achievement Medal
2nd place - 10 Eggs and a General Achievement Medal
3rd place - 5 Eggs and a General Achievement Medal
4th and 5th place - General Achievement Medal
1 Egg for each valid submission, max 5
(Max of 1 General Achievement Medal will be awarded)

Here's the rundown:
1. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE 70x70 pixels. ALL entries not following this rule will result in immediate disqualification as the images needed for Inventory must be this size
2. Use an image editing program to design your egg (GIFs not allowed, background should be transparent)
3. Upload it to a website such as Photobucket or Imageshack to get a direct URL
4. All entries are to be sent to me, [player]Gilligan[/player], with the PM subject "Easter Egg Contest"
5. All entries must be received by CC Time: 2014-04-10 23:59:59
6. You can send in a maximum of 5 entries
7. Have fun!

Clarified

[dakky21]

do the background needs to be transparent?

[dgz345]

all the current items is .png and have transparent background. but it doesnt state anywhere that it must be transparent. but i think personally that it should fit the others so you cant have like a rainbow colored background

[dakky21]

since they're one time items only, some exceptions could be made?

[Gilligan]

yes the backgrounds should be transparent... unless the background is part of the design.

No gifs, either.

Interesting that there is no template. I gots an idea.

[dgz345]

yea its no template because it can look however you like. as long as it it 70x70pix

[plurple]

if i submitted 5 entries could i theoretically win all 5 medals but only get awarded 1 of them?

[Tviorr]

Looks like it, but youd get 35 eggs

[plurple]

good point hadn't thought of that

[Gilligan]

Yes this is true. Seems crazy to get 5 medals for one event

[dakky21]

When are the results comming in?

[jonofperu]

+1 Just curious to know. Knowing would help my patience!

[Gilligan]

I would say when the main event starts

[dakky21]

So Gilligan, 17.04. you will announce the winners? Tell me so I don't have to open this thread every few minutes

[Gilligan]

There was a bit of a miscommunication on my part, so there are the winners NOW!

5th place - Hannibal 19!


4th place - dakky21!


3rd place - jonofperu!


2nd place - dakky21 (again!)


1st place - EBConquer!


Congratulations!

[EBConquer]

Ha... some good ones, nice work guys!!

I'd be interested in seeing the whole lot. How many ended up coming in?

[dakky21]

Since the event started, when can we expect our eggs, since we need them for the tourney?

Soon, I would think. BW knows about it.

Eggs Issued - And since the number of eggs required doubled in the time after we released this contest, we doubled the prizes. Congrats everyone, some really impressive egg designers we have!

[Shannon Apple]

Hah, Dakky sent me a reminder to enter this thing, and then I forgot anyway.

*is a lazyarse*

Awesome entries. Tank Egg is genius! Love it.

[EBConquer]

Thanks Shan... i too was hoping to see what you entered!

[Dukasaur]

Okay. New Event!

(Hint: answer me back with: "Yaaay, New Event!!!")

We haven't had anything for the loyal followers of our Facebook page yet, so here goes:

In preparation for the Easter celebration, it was obvious that most of the games would be on the Easter map. However, we also considered some other maps that have an Easter connection of one kind or another. There are 14 such maps. During the next 50 hours or so, I will at random times post graphics of these maps on Conquer Club's Facebook page.

How to Score
In order to win, you must be the first to post a reply to the map graphic ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE:

• Name the map
• Give a plausible reason why it was considered as an Easter map (What is its conceivable connection to Easter? The connection might be obvious or it might be obscure.)
• Include your CC username (so we can give you a prize! Obviously no CC username, no idea who to give the prize to.)

Prizes:
Each of the 14 winners will score between 5 and 10 eggs of different types. The maps with more obvious Easter connections will score in the low end of that range, while the maps with more obscure connections will score in the high end of that range.

Rule Clarifications:
Just to be very clear and avoid misunderstandings, I will clarify any possible ambiguity:

1. You must answer on our Facebook page. There is nothing to be gained by answering in this thread, or by sending me PMs or Wall posts.
2. There are 14 maps, so 14 chances to win. The 14 chances to win will be quasi-randomly distributed over the next 50 hours (the random background noise of my life is just as chaotic as atmospheric noise, so running things according to my R/L schedule is just as good as random.com)
3. Only the FIRST correct answer for each map will win.
4. You may win a maximum of 3 times. After that, you will win no more prizes (although you're free to continue answering just for fun, but please wait and let the others get some answers in first.)
5. If you come up with a better answer than the one I thought of, I will still give you the point.
