[s][center][img]http://www.kevinjb.com/umbrella/posting-contest.png[/img][/center] Happy holidays everyone, and by holidays I of course mean Umbrella's third birthday! To commemorate this momentous once-in-a-lifetime occasion we are bringing our Umbrella-only contests to the public for one time only with an OWF posting contest! Everyone with a CN:S nation can participate, all you have to do is post on the OWF. But this contest isn't about who posts the most or who can pull the most image macros out of their ass, this is about who the most insightful, funny and/or interesting poster is. [b]The Rules:[/b] - Need to have a valid CN nation and Forums Account (Obviously) - Posts that break the rules (Image-only, making someone click on a gross link etc.) will not count towards winning, no matter how hilarious or awesome they are. - You need to put something in your signature to state that you are participating (see below for instructions regarding that) - Only posts made between now and exactly 168 hours from now count towards your score - Posts only count if they are made in: ---Open World RP -----Alliance announcements -----World Affairs ---Gameplay Discussions ---The water Cooler -----The Boiler Room ---Suggestion box [b]FAQ[/b] Q: How on earth are you ever going to keep track of all posts? The forums are massive and especially with this war thing it's moving really fast! A: [i]We have 5 Excellent judges going through the forums for this occasion, they are:[list] [*][url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showuser=5178"]Daikos[/url] [*][url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showuser=2733"]Gopherbashi[/url] [*][url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showuser=5526"]Trouble Terrible[/url] [*][url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showuser=30958"]Uranium[/url] [*][url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showuser=43883"]mompson[/url] [/list]They will do their best to sift through all the refuse to find those gems that we all like.[/i] Q: Just 5 judges? Didn't we say massive? A: [i]This is where you guys come in. If you spot a post that you like, for whatever reason, you can PM any of the 5 judges with a link to the post and a short (1 or 2 lines) explanation of why you think it's a good post. No PMing in posts of yourself ofcourse.[/i] Q: Why would we do that for you when we're not getting anything for it? > A: [i]But you are, every valid report you make gets you a couple of points, it's a very good way to boost your score while just reading through the forums.[/i] Q: What are these 'points' and 'score' you keep going on about? A: [i]To make this process as fair as possible, we've chosen to go for a points system, and it will work like this: Every 'good' post nets you 10 points, this is based on a bunch of parameters that I'm not gonna get into but generally if it's interesting or funny you'll get your points. Aside from that, if we find a truly exceptionally good post, the judges will discuss a number of points to give for it on top of the original 10 on a case by case basis. On top of that, all valid reports get you 3 points a piece for a nice score boost.[/i] Q: Screw quality posting, I'm just gonna cheat! A: [i]Our judges will do their best to notice any attempt to abuse, break or otherwise game the system, and if you are found to be doing this, you will be immediately disqualified. They have final say in everything.[/i] Q: Ok so now i've won the contest, what do I get? A: [i]First of all, congratulations! You are truly an asset to the community. But besides that, whoever has the most points at the end of the week will win a $50 amazon gift card. That's right, [size=5][color="#FF0000"]Fifty Free Dollars[/color][/size] just for doing your best posting in the OWF[/i] Q: Alright, i'm pumped, how do i participate? A: You simply post in this topic that you're participating and then put one or both of these two in your sig: [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=96189&view=findpost&p=2552987"][img]http://i.imgur.com/mVHic.jpg[/img][/url] [code][center][url=http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=96189&view=findpost&p=2552987][img]http://i.imgur.com/mVHic.jpg[/img][/url][/center][/code] [b]OR[/b] [color="#a1ea15"]Participating in the official Umbrella OWF Posting contest!

hai letum, it's me, mashi

01[20:29] <Uranium> uh [20:29] <Uranium> hi [20:30] <p0rkSab3r> I really don't want to talk to you. [20:30] <Uranium> i'm sorry [20:30] <p0rkSab3r> I know you're sorry. [20:31] <Uranium> what? [20:32] <p0rkSab3r> Your behaviour is very sorry indeed. [20:32] <Uranium> yes, it was [20:33] <Uranium> i don't know why i said all those things [20:33] <p0rkSab3r> I've told gato government that I want a public apology on the big boards. [20:33] <Uranium> i don't have an account there [20:33] <p0rkSab3r> or else i'm going to ask the IRC cop who is involved that you be g-lined from coldfront IRC [20:33] <Uranium> i'm fairly sure you can't demand for me to be banned [20:34] <Uranium> they have rules regarding what to punish what with [20:34] <p0rkSab3r> then feel free to test that [20:34] <p0rkSab3r> and see how far i'm willing to take this [20:34] <p0rkSab3r> you told my entire race to die. i take that pretty seriously. [20:34] <Uranium> alright, if you don't want to accept my apology [20:35] <p0rkSab3r> i will accept it when it is on the forums. [20:35] <p0rkSab3r> and i know that it is sincere. you really said some hateful things. don't expect it to come quickly. [20:35] <Uranium> i don't think an apology of an account with its only post being that apology will have much of an impact [20:36] <p0rkSab3r> it's a more than fair deal. [20:37] <Uranium> could just as well ask me to apologise on any random forum and it'd be the same [20:37] <p0rkSab3r> No, the cybernations forums are apropriate. [20:37] <Uranium> alright then [20:38] <Uranium> do you want me to write it? [20:38] <p0rkSab3r> no, i'll write an apology for you. [20:38] <p0rkSab3r> yes i expect you to write it! are you kidding? [20:39] <Uranium> never done this before, i dunno how stuff like this goes [20:40] <Uranium> uh, where? [20:42] <Uranium> ... [20:44] <p0rkSab3r> sorry, talking to venizelos. [20:44] <p0rkSab3r> just a second please. [20:44] <Uranium> i don't know where posting this would be appropriate [20:45] <p0rkSab3r> surprise me. [20:45] <Uranium> ? [20:45] <Uranium> where? [20:47] <p0rkSab3r> http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showforum=71 [20:47] <p0rkSab3r> world affairs seems appropriate to me. Just to give you guys the full story since you guys seem so interested in this We later agreed to do it in, yknow, this place obviously. Edit: also i said i don't have an account cause i didn't think the one i made way back in march and did nothing with would still exist.
