2008 Holiday Contest

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 3:48 pm

Dizzy & I are organizing a Holiday Themed Contest

for the upcoming Christmas/New Year Season. Levelmakers can decide which holiday they would prefer to build their level around and/or a collection of both.

However, before we outline all the official rules, dates for submission, prizes, etc. we would like to have an idea of how many members would be interested in submitting entries. We have sent out a few PM's to some of you that have participated in prior contests and so far have received a very postitive response

Our initial planning would be to have all entries received by December 18th at midnight EST with scoring to be submitted by January 3rd at midnight EST. The Winner would be announced on January 4th. This would provide lots of time for submission of levels, playing & scoring over this busy time of year.

If you are interested please let us know

so we can "get things moving".

.

We've had alot of fun over the years with the different contests and we both hope you will join us in another holiday contest sure to be filled with lots of fun and laughs. We are looking forward to seeing all of you join in and help us celebrate the Holiday Season

Cathy & Emmy

Wow Cathy, you really have been busy with those smileys!!! Patrick, can you add them?

I'd give it ago, but I warn you, I haven't been in the editor for ages!

Good luck everyone!

Oh yeah! I'm in. This will be loads of fun.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 4:29 pm

Me, me too....I'm definately in.

Actually I already told Cathy I would so I've been diligently working on mine so I can get it to her before I leave for my trip on Dec. 8th.

Time to spread the word. Everyone get their creative juices flowing, get the lead out, get busy, get with it.

Most of all have fun.

HI! I'm so excited about this Contest!

Can't wait to see all the fun, new levels. I'm also getting a GOOD response from PM's that were sent out.

I would bet you would do an awesome job if you jumped back into that editor again.

Go ahead, give it a try and send it on

btw I would love to see more smilies added too

it would be easier to post them

HI! I'm so excited about this Contest!

So Dizzy does that mean your in on the contest? I hope so. I just lurve your levels.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 6:54 pm

Thanks Moni!

(sweet)

Oh, I'll enter the Contest for sure!

But I don't think I can vote, or anything.

And maybe you can't vote for me either!?!? (sad day, sad day)

Cathy, can they vote for me?

Yes, but you can't win!

Unless you want everything sent to me, then you could be a contestant too

Absolutely, thanks Anne!

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 7:30 pm

Oh, one person has already sent me their Contest level (but I didn't peek

..........................

...

...at least, I don't think I peeked..

.hmm, maybe I peeked)

.

So I guess I can't win, but that's ok, it's still fun.

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 7:48 pm

Great! Here's one that I made at the end of 2007 that may work. I could be used for an old fashioned holiday theme.

Now...I'm going to try to upload this thing; but, Emmy, you may have to come along behind me and do it right. I, somehow, don't do it correctly.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 8:12 pm

Ok Anne, I'm just adding this one, in case yours doesn't work, for some unknown reason.

(Monica is the one who really knows about that stuff)

BTW-I've used this texture in a few of my levels and I really, really love it!

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 8:38 pm

I just checked and I already have that texture on my PC. It works fine for me.

Oh good Diz, so your helping Cathy. yay

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 11:38 pm

That's a pretty texture Anne, thanks.

I'm a little confused with the 2 zip files though. They both have an extra file, but are different sizes and both worked for me.

And that's wonderful that you already have a level Emmy

that is probably Monica's - wow that was fast

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 11:59 pm

Nope not mine. I can't just whip them up like some people. Then I have to test and retest, change this or that. I'm getting there though. I got the schematics down, got some ideas just got to get the ideas out of my head and into the editor.
I do know who's is is though, but I'm not saying...uh-uh-no way. you can't make me.

Cathy, did you have to open the folder and put the texture in the previous folder?

(does that even make sense)?

Yes! Want me to send it to you?

The way my computer is acting right now...geez! I hope it stops acting silly before the levels start coming in.

Yes, that makes sense but I didn't have to do that on either one. And I did download both again to double check that.

Want me to send it to you?

No, hold on to it for now. I sure hope your computer get's better soon. My AOL was acting up tonight too

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 1:41 am

Interesting...I closed my AIM list in AOL and it's running faster now.

Yikes! Maybe AIM is corrupted!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, ok I'll keep all levels until you tell me different.

peegman · Post by **peegman** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 5:59 am

I might join

lakeowl · Post by **lakeowl** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 7:05 am

Although work is keeping me busy along with the granbabies but I will try and give it a shot if I can

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 12:51 pm

Yahoo! Lakeowl & Peegue might enter!

Bonnie, I've missed your levels in the forum.

(they are a little difficult for me though)

Peegue, I'm so glad you might make one too!

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 5:35 pm

F.Y.I. Just wanted to let you all know that I received 3 more confirmed contestants thru PM's

I hope you both enter the contest too, Lakeowl and Peegeman

We will try to get the rules posted Friday for all to see

Well, I'm not sure if I'd participate afterall

Can't seem to make any good one

Sorry, Cathy and Dizzy.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 11:03 pm

I don't ever think my levels are any good either...but you could make a little cute one maybe, just for fun. But it's ok if you don't.

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 11:28 pm

I like all your levels Inger, Don't give up yet.
