UO Second Age

UoH has had a rift in it recently...
This has been caused by a battle of epic proportions. (in link)

http://forum.uosecondage.com/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=11194

The house design feud is now spilling into the public domain!

We are calling all Britannian's to submit their design to prove who is currently the finest designer in all of the world.
There will be Two seperate divisions to compete in.


Rules - House must have never been submitted in previous contests
It must be YOUR house you have entered
The only houses permitted in the contest are
- Large Brick House
- Large Patio House
- Two story L shape house



You may only enter one entry.
Those are the only rules!

All submissions must be entered by midnight of Halloween!!!
That's right, you have one month to perfect your design.

Send all Submissions to Cataclysm <-- important
He will keep them private and annonymous so the judges will not know who has entered which design.
Enter all submissions with an explaination of your design if you feel you need to.

Prizes TBA -They will be proportional to the number of entries. More entries = bigger prizes.

Judges will remain annonymous until after all submissions are entered. This is to keep them from being targetted by lobbyists!! Please trust they will be a neutral and fair group.

Blackfoot - UoH

Note: sorry about last one two moderators in a row dissappeared - if you have your picture from the last one can you please re submit it!

THAT MEANS ME, so get them sent ASAP so we can get this contest judged and the prizes sent out, I shall not let you down!

Come on fellers, get the rest of the houses PM'd to me! Unless you want one of the three already submitted getting the fat ass prize!

I'd enter, I just don't have a house (and I was lagging, was low on regs, out of pots, last target macro was broken or something and my four-assed monkey was bugging me wanting to be fed so I had to recall).

CRIPES! Ok, resubmitted x3!

On the plus side, I'm guessing the number of submissions is dropping every time, so my chances must get better and better with each judge we lose!

lol lets all cross our fingers this time

Only way I'm going somewhere is if I get arressted first, which might be a possibility! But I'm going to try and bug everyone to get the submissions in tonight, so we can hopefully have it judged by tomorrow, so please if you have a picture to send, send it fast

HAHA OH NOES! Don't get arrested! I can't go through the heartbreak of losing yet ANOTHER judge!

Well, the judges scores are being tallied up as we speak!

Here's all the submissions so you can all finally see what you were up against!

good show everyone

not sure all judges were on the same page about what each category was about

pancakes example - theme category - 2 from platy and 9 from KUB theme you would think would be one of the most consistent scores

Well, he didn't find it clear or original

It's a little misleading at first look, but once you figure it out you can def. see what everything is

Yay! I'm #3, I'm #3!

So, what do I win? Besides the satisfaction of being #3?

Thanks to all who voted for my entry. I'm ecstatic that I won first place. Yet, I'm regretful that this contest was dragged out for 3 months and that a lot of entries were lost in all the confusion. Gratz to the other winners.

Also, special thanks to DocFaustus and Flash_Hardstar for loaning me some unique rares for the contest.
